Effective dose

Johnson may not respond to 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, Dutasreride and Finasteride, because he only has a mild enlargement of his prostate. If Mr. Johnson prostate was larger on his next visit these drugs would be effective in his treatment plan. Dutasreride and Finasteride are most effective in men with very enlarged prostates, the drug is less beneficial in men with small…

name(s): Available doses and dosage forms: Oral salbutamol: Adults and Children over 12 years: Usual starting dosage of salbutamol is 2mg or 4 mg 3 or 4 times a day. A dosage exceeding 4 milligrams of salbutamol 4 times per day should be used only when the patient is not responding well. If the desirable response is not achieved with 4 milligrams, it should be carefully increased up to a maximum of 8 milligrams 4 times daily as tolerated. Children 6-12 years: The Usual starting dose of…

(2010) performed a study comparing SpayVac (a PZP formulation) to GonaCon-B a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) formulation. Both formulations were created as single dose, multi-year antifertility drugs. “SpayVac has been successfully used as a single-dose, multi-year contraceptive in fallow deer, white-tailed deer, grey seals, and captive feral horses” (Gray et al., 2010). GnRH is a key hormone in triggering ovulation, its release triggers the production of…

b) Suggest why in Phase 2 patients were asked to record how they felt after taking the PainGo2? Phase2 is when a very low doses tested are on human volunteers in clinical trials. Volunteers will be asked to record how they felt after taking PainGo2 to check for side effects, and to see if is safe and effective before conducting bigger clinical trials with the optimum dose of the drug. c) What is a placebo? A placebo is a substance or other kind of treatment that looks just like a regular…

Surgical procedures lead to contamination of previously sterile tissues or fluids, surgical prophylactic antimicrobial therapy (SAP) is an initial administration of short course of an antimicrobial agent before the surgery to prevent development of infection , SSI is 3rd most common nosocomial infection in US acute-care hospitals (14-16%),Complicates 5% of surgical cases overall, Increases hospital length of stay by approximately 10 days ,Increases readmissions to hospital ,Increases morbidity,…

of 0.5-1 h which is approximately doubled in severe CHF patients. Longer elimination half-life necessitates administration of a loading dose in cases where prompt initial response is desirable. However, if rapid hemodynamic changes are not necessary or the patient has low blood pressure, bolus dose should be omitted. Recommended dosages: The usual loading dose of milnirone is 50 ug/kg administered slowly over 10 min. This is followed by continuous infusion rates of 0.1-0.75 ug/kg/min. Patients…

The Ethics of conducting a placebo-controlled trial when there are effective treatments available, particularly for serious or life threatening diseases, has been debated over the years. The Declaration of Helsinki states that the benefits, risks, burdens and effectiveness of a new intervention must be tested against the best current proven intervention. The exception is when there is no effective treatment available, when the potential harm to subjects receiving no treatment is not serious or…

in increasing mood in both children and adults with mental health issues (Beetz et al., 2012). Researchers point out that one on one interaction with an animal is more effective than assigning multiple people to one animal, all who are looking to interact. However, assigning one animal to multiple people is still much more effective than no HAI. (Beetz et al., 2012). A past study on schizophrenia patients was conducted for 10 weeks. One group received AAT, the other group did not. Patients who…

Antibiotic resistance: Which antibiotic type and does are most effective? Background: The impending crisis with antibiotic resistance must be addressed with the most effective use antimicrobial agents. This can be achieved with utilizing effective doses and reducing hospital errors (Burke, 2001). Medical errors are the greatest contributor to the development of resistance in bacteria (Burke, 2001). Study…

Lassen et al. (2009) aimed to demonstrate that Apixaban at a dose of 2.5mg twice daily is just as safe and effective as enoxaparin when administered at a dose of 30mg subcutaneously every 12 hours. While Lassen et al. (2010a) observed Apixaban at the same dose but against enoxaparin 40mg once daily. The treatment period for both studies lasted between 10-14 days. The primary efficacy outcome for the above mentioned studies included the following scenarios; symptomatic or non-symptomatic DVT,…
