istradefylline will increase the level or effect of dapsone by affecting hepatic/intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 metabolism
You live at a high altitude and your red blood cell production naturally increases to compensate for the lower oxygen supply there
Pulse oximetry is used to indicate adequate oxygen saturations, and co‐oximetry is needed to diagnose low arterial oxygen saturations
