While there continues to be an epidemic of opioid-related overdose deaths, many patients experience acute or chronic pain, making it crucial for clinicians to understand how to appropriately treat pain, while reducing opioid-associated risks. Not all clinicians are intimately familiar with the FDA’s Opioid Analgesic Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), which is essential in order to ensure that patients receive and understand the Medication Guides and information regarding the safe use of these products.

This educational activity is highly relevant to interprofessional clinicians involved in the care of patients receiving opioid analgesic therapy, nonpharmacologic therapies, and non-opioid therapies for pain in hospitals, health systems and ambulatory care centers to appropriately manage pain and support the safe use of medication therapy for the treatment of pain. https://hubs.ly/Q03YLw6x0

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania discovered that hydralazine, one of the oldest blood pressure medications, can halt the growth of aggressive brain tumors.

Treated glioblastoma cells entered senescence within three days, stopping division without killing the cells.

Using X-ray crystallography, researchers showed that hydralazine binds to the oxygen-sensing enzyme ADO, inhibiting its activity. This prevents tumor cells from surviving in low-oxygen environments, a key feature of glioblastoma progression.

Further studies revealed that this pathway links brain cancer and preeclampsia, highlighting hydralazine’s potential as a repurposed drug for targeting aggressive tumors.

Bottom Fact: Hydralazine stops glioblastoma growth by inducing cellular senescence through ADO inhibition, showing a link between preeclampsia and brain cancer.

Life-saving antibiotics need protection – and we are taking action.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens global health: if antibiotics stop working, even minor infections could become deadly.

That’s why we’re proud to share important news during AMR Awareness Week:
Our manufacturing sites in Kutno (Poland), Santiago de Besteiros (Portugal), and Graz (Austria) have earned the BSI Kitemark™ for Minimized Risk of AMR Certification. This independent certification from the British Standards Institution confirms that our processes meet rigorous standards to reduce antibiotic emissions and safeguard public health.

This means:
✔️ Safe, more sustainable antibiotic production
✔️ Reduced environmental impact
✔️ Continued effectiveness of critical medicines

At Fresenius Kabi, we take our role seriously: protecting patients, the environment, and the future of antibiotics. Together, we can fight AMR and keep life-saving treatments effective for generations.
