Acute treatment consists of medicines to relieve the headache when it is occurring. It includes pain reliever medicines like aspirin, paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, diclofenac and naproxen. These medicines if used alone are rendered ineffective because of nausea and vomiting associated with migraine. Antiemetic or antinausea medicines like metoclopramide and domperidone are also given to alleviate nausea and vomiting…

leaf extract using tail immersion, hot plate, and writhing tests. The antinociceptive effect of the methanol extract of Origanum majorana (MEO) leaves was assessed after intraperitoneal administration into mice. Morphine sulfate (5 mg/kg; i.p.) and diclofenac (10 mg/kg; i.p.) were used as reference analgesic agents. Naloxone (5 mg/kg; i.p.) was also tested. MEO was studied at the doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg…

Furthermore, furosemide and gentamicin may cause an effect in the plasma and tissue concentrations that may lead to ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac when used with furosemide can decrease the blood pressure and lower the diuretic effects of this medication. And finally, droperidol mixed with this drug can produce an increased risk of cardiotoxicity (QT prolongation) that may result in a cardiac…

Response to Dr Foreman’s questions a. Discuss the nociceptive mechanisms, including the postsynaptic receptors of the spinal neurons, transmitters, pathways and nuclei that are activated when the injury occurs. Also include in your answer the explanation for the sharp pain and the long lasting pain that you experience with this injury. Nociceptors are specialized peripheral sensory neurons that are activated by noxious stimuli. These nociceptors are the free nerve endings of primary sensory…

Question 1 Assess Mr Logan’s medication chart. Identify and explain three significant risks that may be associated with the use of the medicines (home or inpatient use) for Mr Logan. The total dose of parenteral digitalisation for the elderly is 25-500microgram. This may be given slowly by Intra Venous Route, single dose or divided doses each 125-250 microgram at intervals of 4-6 hours. The immediate STAT dose given at 1100 01/05 was the total dose, the prescribed post expected doses 4 hourly…

Case summary: A 69 years old male with known CKD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was admitted to hospital following a GP visit. Increased prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and raised creatinine levels were observed in his blood tests. Patient was referred from GP due to worsening of creatinine on a background of 2 months of increasing pedal oedema. Ultrasound scan showed no renal obstruction and a renal biopsy confirmed pANCA vasculitis. Urinalysis also confirmed presence of glucose,…

2.3. Pharmacokinetics of (S)-ketoprofen 2.3.1. Blood sampling On the day of the study, rats were cannulated approximately 30 min before uric acid injection and 3 h before the drugs were administered. The animals were anesthetized and the caudal artery was cannulated with a PE-10 cannula (Clay Adams, Parsippany, NJ, USA) connected to a PE-50 cannula. The cannula was kept patent with heparinized saline solution and stopped with a needle. Rats were allowed to recover from anesthesia and…

and erythromycin which leads to warfarin toxicity. The lack of communication between providers and patient can also play a key role in this type of error. In ruled-based errors, individuals use bad rules or misapply a good rule such as injecting Diclofenac into the lateral thigh instead of the buttock. Action-based errors are slips of the mind. An example would be picking up a bottle of Celebrex (for arthritis), when intending to use Celexa (for depression). In a memory-based error (lapses), one…
