Enzyme inducers and contraceptive pill


A disrespectful but good #mnemonic to remember for enzyme inducers is:

CRAP GPs

Whilst majority of GPs are absolutely fantastic, if a GP prescribes rifampicin and combined oral contraceptive pill without informing the woman of contraception failure, he may be called a Crap GP. A good GP would discuss the use of additional barrier methods, having progesterone only injections, insertion of intrauterine devices or use of increasing dose of oestrogen.

Carbamazepine
Rifampicin
Alcohol – chronic consumption
Phenytoin

Griseofulvin
Phenobarbital
sulfonylureas

What's the difference ...

ACAMPROSATE vs DISULFIRAM in alcohol use disorder

Disulfiram
Acts as a deterrant – Around 5 to 10 minutes after alcohol intake, patients may experience the effects of a severe hangover for a period of 30 minutes up to several hours.
It is used after 24 horus from the last alcoholic drink.

Acamprosate
Reduces cravings.
It is used after the patient has finished a planned withdrawal from alcohol.

A useful #mnemonic to remember is DiSulfiram is a Deterrant that makes you Sick whereas aCamprosate reduces Cravings.
