Medicines Company should use for Angiomax. From the case the cost of Heparin is $2 a dose and the patient is required only 1 dose. For Angiomax, 70% of the patients require 1 dose while the other 30% needs 2.5 doses bringing the average dose for each patient to 1.45. (Cost of Heparin)+(Additional Cost Incurred by using Heparin)=(Cost of Angiomax) (1 dose*$2/dose*386,400 patients)+($250,387,200)=(1.45 dose/patient*x/dose*386,400 patients) Cost of Angiomax=$448.28 From the information given in the…
Pinworm medicine is enough for one time (single dose) with doses as follows: The appropriate dose is calculated based on the weight, which is 10 mg / kg. However, the dose should not exceed 1 g.

so at various doses and magnitudes depending on the training procedure used across studies. Although very specific dosing parameters are required to produce place preferences for many drugs in the CPP paradigm (Bardo and Bevins 2000; Tzschentke 1998, the ability of cannabinoids, such as THC and the synthetic CB1 receptor high-efficacy agonist CP 55,940, to produce a place preference in rats and mice are particularly sensitive to the timing of injections as well as on the range of doses used…

formula C8H10N4O2 (Francis Agyemang and Sylvester Yaw Oppong, 2013). In humans, caffeine acts as a stimulant at low doses by blocking the A2A receptor but acts as a depressant at higher doses by blocking the A1 receptor (Yacoubi and Ledent et al, 2000). In other words, when people drink low doses of caffeine it wakes them up and makes them more alert, on the other hand, higher doses of caffeine has the opposite effect on them (Yacoubi and Ledent et al, 2000). The A2A receptor mainly assumes the…
among can be challenging. There are always poor adherence problems with any type of treatment regimen planned. Some patterns of poor adherence could be due to the failure to initiate the regimen, stopping the treatment early, missing doses, lowering or increasing the dose of treatment, timing errors, and technical errors (Adherence to Treatment Regimens). The failure to initiate the regimen could be due to the fact that the patient believe their medication is no longer needed, or that it is not…
The dose given at 3mcg/kg/min which is in the range of 1-5 mcg/kg/min IV (low dose) may increase urine output and renal blood flow. 8mcg/kg/min is in the range of 5-15 mcg/kg/min IV (medium dose) may increase renal blood flow, cardiac output, heart rate, and cardiac contractitlity. Duration of onset is 5 min while duration of absorption is less than…
