About
Dr. Mohammed Hakim is a clinical pharmacologist whose work centers on optimizing drug therapy in special populations, particularly the severely obese. His most cited research, "Acetaminophen pharmacokinetics in severely obese adolescents and young adults" (2018, 21 citations), addresses a critical gap in perioperative medicine. By investigating the correct pharmacokinetic size descriptor and appropriate dosing for intravenous acetaminophen in adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery, Dr. Hakim provides evidence-based guidance for a population often excluded from standard drug trials. This work directly impacts clinical safety and efficacy, ensuring that young, obese patients receive optimal pain management without under- or over-dosing. Beyond this key study, his research portfolio consistently explores how altered body composition and physiology in obesity influence drug disposition. Dr. Hakim’s contributions are vital for advancing personalized medicine, moving beyond one-size-fits-all dosing to tailored therapies that improve outcomes in challenging patient groups. His findings are increasingly cited in guidelines and subsequent pharmacokinetic studies, cementing his role as a leading voice in pediatric and obesity pharmacology.
