Frusemide: A Case Study

Furosemide (lasix) works by blocking the re-absorption of sodum, chloride, adn water in the kidney tubules. It causes the sodium, cloride, and water to be excreted as urine. Lasix cause an increased output of urine.

In this experiment, the reduction of a ketone to an alcohol using sodium borohydride was demonstrated. When the solution turned from yellow to colorless, sulfuric acid was added and the solution was set under reflux to allow for the complete dissolution of the solids. After cooling, the product was then isolated using vacuum filtration before mixed solvent recrystallization was used on it. An infrared (IR) spectra was obtained for the product along with the melting point and weight. The weight was further used to calculate the percent yield.

I am concerned with the drug to drug interaction with Mrs. Cynthia. She has hypertension, type II diabetes, and she is old. Her body mechanism metabolism the medication at a slower rate or it may metabolism too quickly. Cynthia labs result closely because she is also diabetic and is taking Lisinopril. I am concerned with her taking a potassium-sparing diuretic, potassium supplement, and aspirin. Patients who are taking potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes should not be placed on Lisinopril (mmm ) Lisinopril is

This list of street names for the drug goes on and on.

Belladonna alkaloids is used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and intestinal inflammation in combination with other medications. IBS is an invasive gastrointestinal functional bowel disorder, characterized by a recurrent crampy diarrhea and abdominal pain. Belladonna works by decreasing motion of muscles in the intestine and stomach providing them with a mild sedation

Find a form of contraception that patient is agreeable, that’s effective, convenient, and rapidly reversed in case she decided to get pregnant again. (Arcangelo & Peterson, 2013).

Conclusion: The isomerization of dimethyl maleate to dimethyl fumarate experiment was successful in that it occurred to completion under the correct conditions. Only the predicted set of conditions allowed for isomerization of dimethyl maleate to dimethyl fumarate, a test tube of dimethyl maleate and bromine placed under an intense light source. The other two test tubes did not isomerize as one did not contain the bromine, so there was no ability to form a radical, and the other was placed in the dark so it did not have the ability to initiate the radical formation of bromine. It is unlikely any error occured with the exception of the possibility that there was a very slight amount of isomerization that occurs in the test tube that was placed

Mrs A's digoxin dose must be adjusted to her clinical condition and her serum levels monitored. Digoxin should be taken with meals to decrease the effects of gastric irritation that can accompany treatment. Frusemide and digoxin can both cause hypokalemia; this can be controlled by encouraging Mrs A to eat potassium-rich foods, instructing her about dosage regimen,

On this date worker visited Fresenius Medical Care, for the purpose of monitoring Mr. Smith’s situation. Worker learned during the visit Mr. Smith had missed several dialysis appointments 11/2 11/4 11/6. On 11/9 Mr. Smith arrived at dialysis with high potassium levels, he was admitted to the hospital for three days and received dialysis. The following week Mr. Smith received dialysis on Tuesday and Wednesday at the clinic. According to the dietician, Mr. Smith was given a pillbox and they assisted him with his medicine. However, they do not believe he is taking his medicine as directed due to his blood work showing some improvements but could be better.

Colchicine as a medication for rheumatism and swelling has been documented for nearly 4000 years in the 1550 Before Christ (B.C.) medical text Ebers Papyrus (Nuki, 2006). In August 2009, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved colchicine through a program called the Unapproved Drugs Initiative (Food and Drug Administration [FDA], 2013; Larsson & Ronsted, 2014; Slobodnick, Shah, Pillinger, & Krasnokutsky, 2015, p. 461). The approval for colchicine was grounded on new data that examined therapeutic doses with reduced adverse reactions (Department of Health and Human Services [DHHS], 2010, p. 60769). Before 2009, colchicine has been expended with no FDA-approved prescribing information, dosage recommendation,

Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It reduces the level of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) type-2. The indication to use this medicine is to treat men with the benign prostatic hyperplasia or male pattern hair loss. The medicine is taken for the longer time, so the effects will only last as long as the medicine taken. The prostate will decrease its size when the level of DHT is lower. It will reduce symptoms like a decreased flow of urination and it has the difficulty to urinate and the need to get up at night to urinate. Reducing the level of DHT type-2 will also stop the hair loss on the scalp. In many cases, it can regrow already lost hair as well. When the receding hairline regrows, finasteride cannot stop the regrow because in this area DHT type-1 is active. If you want to reduce the DHT in this type, you can use Dutasteride hat is stronger than 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor than Finasteride.

Ladostigil is another disease modifying drug that is currently undergoing clinical trial for the treatment of MCI. It is presently in the Phase 2b stage of the trial and is being assessed for its effectiveness as well as safety. Structurally it is composed of two portions, a Carbamate portion and a Propargyline portion. The Carbamate portion is a cholinesterase (i.e. acetyl cholinesterase and butyl cholinesterase inhibitors) with the Propargyline portion being a selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor. As a result of it comprising two portions, Ladostigil is viewed as a multi-functional drug. Originally, the motif of the drug was to act as both cholinesterase as well as selective monoamine oxidase inhibitor in the treatment of AD in high dose.

Diuretics act primarily by blocking reabsorption of sodium at four major sites in the nephron. The diuretic known as water pills have specific indications to maintain and control the blood pressure combined with beta-blocker, anti arrhythmic helping the cardiac and renal function in patient with chronic hypertension, heart disease and kidney disease. Also there serious complication associated with overdose and interaction of diuretic with others drugs in-patient with impaired kidney function also increase the risk of side effect and nephron damage. In this study we talk about the

Thiazides diuretics reduce sodium reabsorption that leads to increased fluid loss, decrease plasma volume and extracellular fluid. (Drugs.com 2012). Other means of depleting potassium from the body are malignant hypertension (vascular), Type 1 and 2 renal tubular acidosis (Renal), trauma, and diarrhea (Buttarro et. al., 2017). To be able to diagnose Hypokalemia it is important to be aware of the signs and the

There are many different methods of dispersing and accumulating data from subject self-reports, but for the purpose of this research proposal we have elected to adopt a method used in relatively recent study published by the Journal of Drug Issues entitled: “Substance Use, Drug Treatment, and Crime: An Examination of Intra-Individual Variation in a Drug Court Population”.
