Reaction Paper On Oxytetracycline

Absorption – “How the drugs enter the circulation process through the body, and how they resist general breakdown by the stomach, liver, and the intestines”. Some of the factors that affect the absorption of drugs in the body is as follows, “acidity of the stomach, Physiochemical properties, Presence of food in the stomach or intestine, and Routes of administration”,

Pharmaceuticals are defined as prescription, over the counter and veterinary therapeutic drugs used to prevent or treat human and animal diseases, while personal care products (PCPs) are used mainly to improve the quality of daily life [16]. Over the past few years, there has been growing awareness of the unintentional presence of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in various compartments of the aquatic environment at concentrations capable of causing detrimental effects to the aquatic organisms. This has become a major concern because PPCPs are extensively and increasingly used in human and veterinary medicine, resulting in their continuous release to the environment.

Studies have shown that near shore, and in rives tributaries to the Great Lakes the PPCPs levels have a higher risk quotient. The risk quotient being the ratio of maximum measured environmentally concentration to the predicted no-effect concentration of the pollutant. Using this ratio, 38 compounds were detected from effluent or Lake Michigan samples with four compounds being detected at levels greater than 50% frequency. These compounds found at all of the sampling sites in Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee Harbor are: metformin (100%), caffeine (97.6%), sulfamethoxazole (83.3%), and triclosan (71.4%). The mean and maximum levels from the samples can be found in Table 2, along with the minimum detection limit, minimum quantification limit, and maximum value found in the method

Environmentalists all over the nation highly discourage flushing prescription drugs down the toilet in fear of contaminating the water supply. Although the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) states on their website that flushing certain medications down the toilet is the best option in fear of children, or young adults getting into the potentially harmful prescription drugs… Environmentalists say otherwise. In fact, the Ohio Environmental Council warns that there are many studies supporting their argument that flushing the medication is harmful to the water supply. Studies state that the amount of prescription drugs being found in waterways is creating issues such as the reproductive health of different fish even completely feminizing male fish.

Phencyclidine is a hallucinogenic drug that was once used as an anesthetic for animals, and for a short period of time, humans as well. It is very similar to Ketamine in the way that it is structured and behaves. It is also known more commonly on the streets as ‘Angel Dust’.

I experienced a drug reaction to Doxycycline Hyclate a little over a year ago. I had visited my dermatologist with concerns about acne. I had never had acne before, then all of a sudden, it seemed to be popping up everywhere. She decided that I should be put on Doxycycline, and said that it usually helped clear up acne. I was told to take one tablet daily, and that I should also take it on an empty stomach. I remember being at school when I had some unpleasant side effects to taking the drug. I took the tablet on an empty stomach, as I was advised. It was early in the morning, and the pill did not sit well with me. I became dizzy, had a fever, chills, and my vision started to become blurry. I was very concerned, and worried that something wasn't

Doxycycline, a semi-synthetic derivative of oxytetracycline is a potent antibacterial drug commonly used as doxycycline hyclate (DOX-h) and used for both in humans and animals treatments [8]. The antibacterial mechanism is mainly regarded as time-dependant and DOX-h is a relatively inexpensive antibacterial drug, potent and possesses a broad-spectrum antibacterial action [9]. In this regard, a poloxamer-based matrix was used to produce a long-acting injectable preparation (DOXh-LA) and its serum concentrations vs. time profile was investigated after its s.c. injection to calves. It was found that the DOX-h-LA showed the greatest values for bioavailability (602%); maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of 1.99 lg/mL with a time to reach (Tmax)

Early results of animal models indicated that the ratio of the 24 h area under the curve to the minimum inhibitory concentrations (AUC0-24/MIC) was chosen as the

Phencyclidine also known as Angel Dust and Sernyl was an anesthetic drug used in 1950’s but was discontinued due to its dissociative effects by 1965. It started being used as a recreational drug that could be ingested, smoked, injected during the 1970’s and in 1978 was declared America’s number one drug problem by Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes.Some of the drugs side effects included hallucinations,depersonalisation, paranoia,aggressive behavior.The use of PCP significantly fell in 1980’s and less than 3% high schoolers abused it in 1990. It's a schedule-II drug in USA and only 19 grams of it was allowed to be produced in

Moreover, chronically use of minocycline has a good safety record. Long-term treatment with minocycline at dosages of up to 200 mg/day, is the highest dosage recommended by the United States Food and Drug Administration ( FDA), is generally safe and well-tolerated in humans. Minocycline’s known and most common side effects, including nausea and mild dizziness. However, according to the British National Formulary, for treatments continued for more than 6 months, it is recommended to monitor every 3 months for hepatotoxicity, pigmentation and systemic lupus erythematosus, been advised that treatment should be discontinued if these develop or if pre-existing systemic lupus erythematosus worsens. The antibiotic properties of minocycline was

Oxiracetam is mental enhancement supplement used for memory retention and recall. As a nootropic in the recetam family, it’s one of the most popular used to enhance mental performance in class, work place or any other area of life.

Drugs enter out water in many different ways. There are ways these drugs can be harmful to creatures, even though some side effects are unknown for humans.

Doxycycline is a second-generation tetracycline. It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections caused by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It also has activity against many atypical pathogens, including Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii, Treponema spp., Chlamydia spp., Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Plasmodium spp., Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus, Brucella spp., Calymmatobacterium granulomatis, Leptospira, Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia recurrentis, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Mycobacterium marinum, Entamoeba histolytica and treatment of acne.[1] Moreover, Doxycycline can be used to treat upper respiratory, skin, or soft tissue infections due to susceptible bacteria, gonorrhea and syphilis in penicillin-allergic patients,

In ancient Greece the most beautiful woman Helen, wife of Menelaus, the king of the Grecian state of Sparta has run away with Paris, the prince of Troy. The escape of Helen and Paris is an insult to all the Greeks. Infuriated, King Menelaus and his brother, Agamemnon, king of the state of Mycenae, assemble mighty armies of Greeks who include the finest warriors in the land. The soldiers gather at the port of Aulis to go ashore for Troy in a gigantic fleet of ships.

A Diuretic is any substance that promotes the production of urine. This includes forced diuresis. There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from bodies, although each class does so in a distinct way. Alternatively, an antidiuretic such as vasopressin, or antidiuretic hormone, is an agent or drug which reduces the excretion of water in urine.Diuretics increase the rate of urine flow and sodium excretion and are used to adjust the volume and/or composition of body fluids in a variety of clinical situations, including hypertension, heart failure, renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, and cirrhosis. By definition, diuretics are drugs that increase the rate of urine flow; however, clinically useful diuretics also increase the rate of excretion of Na+ (natriuresis) and of an accompanying anion, usually Cl-. NaCl in the body is the major determinant of extracellular fluid volume, and most clinical
