Pharmaceutical Treatment Regimen

2-Year-Old With Iron Deficiency Anemia

A 2-year-old male, just weaned, shows fatigue and a pale appearance, and laboratory results reveal iron deficiency anemia (9.0 g/dL hemoglobin). The suggested treatment is Ferrous sulfate oral solution (75 mg/mL), which gives 30 mg of elemental iron (1 mL) orally twice a day (BID) to children weighing around 10 kg. For one month, dispense 300 mL and provide refills as needed. This medicine is an oral iron supplement, making it the initial choice for treatment since it has an impressive effect and can be easily obtained. For optimal absorption, having orange juice (2 oz per dose) is recommended as additional support. For DEI, dietary advice should be culturally appropriate and include dishes like beans and greens, which are affordable and provide iron; instructions should be easy for caregivers, and being part of the WIC program should provide a solution for those with economic barriers to following treatment (Badyal & Moffat, 2025).

29-year-old with HIV diagnosis and partner on PrEP

The 29 y/o Hispanic male with newly diagnosed HIV (CD4: 550, VL: 25,000) is started on Biktarvy (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide), taking one tablet PO orally, dispense 30 tablets with three refills. An integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are combined in a single tablet regimen that has a high resistance barrier and excellent tolerability. Commence PrEP on his HIV-negative male partner on Descovy (emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide), one tablet orally once daily, dispense 30 with three refills. A daily multivitamin and a daily condom to reinforce prevention are nonprescription support. However, DEI considerations extend to Spanish language education, stigma reduction strategies, culturally competent counseling on sexual health, and an open clinic environment that affirms LGBTQ+ identities and grants equal access to care (Jaramillo et al., 2024).

72-year-old with popliteal left leg deep vein thrombosis

This is: A 72-year-old female with chronic DVT left leg and normal renal function prescribed Apixaban 5 mg, one tablet PO BID dispense 60 with three refills. Apixaban is a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) with effects against factor Xa to treat DVT and for secondary prevention. In elderly patients, it presents a lower bleeding risk profile than warfarin and does not require long-term INR monitoring, which makes it suitable for long-term outpatient management. Compression stockings (20–30 mmHg) are recommended for swelling and pain, and acetaminophen 500 mg PRN is also recommended for discomfort, with avoidance of NSAIDs due to bleeding risks. From a DEI perspective, simplified instructions, screenings for transportation and follow-up barriers, telehealth, and addressing medication affordability in older individuals with fixed incomes or limited health literacy support this regimen (Leff et al., 2025).
