Read this article and answer the following question There are 3 different Metformin ER products available: Glucophage XR Glumetza ER Fortamet ER All 3 formulations are available generically but they are not interchangeable as they all use different release mechanisms. Glucophage XR uses a dual hydrophilic polymer system. The drug is slowly released by diffusing through a gel matrix, also known as GelShield diffusion system. Once the tablet is swallowed, the outer layer of the tablet forms a gel layer and the metformin contained within is slowly released. Due to this release mechanism, Glucophage XR can not be cut or split. Glumetza ER uses a mechanism known as gastro-retentive technology (also known as 'Modified Release'). The tablets are designed to remain in the stomach and deliver metformin to the upper GI tract over an extended period of time. Like Glucophage XR, Glumetza ER can not be cut or split. Fortamet ER uses single-composition osmotic technology (SCOT). After…
Covid-19 patients may develop acute pulmonary edema (fluid retention in the lungs), and furosemide is often used to treat it. Another potential complication of covid-19 is acute kidney damage. Possible causes include hypoxia, blood clots and inflammation. To evaluate a patient for kidney damage, a medical team took blood samples and placed a catheter to collect urine for 24 hrs. Here are some results: Plasma creatinine: 50 mg/100 mL plasma Urine creatinine: 40.8 mg/mL urine Urine production: 1.5 L in 24 hr 1. What is the patient's approximate GFR (in mL/min)?
