Ibuprofen – pain reliever and fever reducer. Side effects include indigestion, skin rashes and headaches. 2) Identify medication which demands the measurement of specific physiological measurements. Medication which demands measurement of specific physiological measurements includes insulin, warfarin and digoxin. 3) Describe the common adverse reactions to medication, how each can be recognised and the appropriate action(s) required.
amoxicillin, antidepressants e.g. cipramil, Anticoagulants e.g. warfarin. The effect of Analgesics is to relieve pain such as head aches and the potential side effects are that they can be addiction is can happen if taken over a long period of time. Also, irritation of the stomach, liver damage and sleep disturbances as some analgesics contain caffeine.
Many prescription drugs have been released onto the market that effectively target the levels of certain hormones which in turn enable one to counteract the symptoms of ADHD (3). Adderall is a cocktail of several active ingredients that include amphetamine salts, an active ingredient in many ADHD medications. These amphetamines are thought to treat ADHD by blocking the reuptake of dopamine from the neural synapses and increasing the uptake into subsequent neurons. The increased dopamine flow in the frontal cortex then allows the brain to carry on its executive functions as a normal brain would, thus counteracting the effects of ADHD(4). So, as a stressed out college student striving to succeed in school and boost my GPA, I sit here wondering how much faster and more efficiently I could have written this paper had I been taking Adderall.
The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system are the parasympathetic (rest and digest) and the sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system. 16. Atropine was administered in the ED as part of Dr. Westwood’s care. What effect did it have on his vitals after it was administered? Atropine acts as an antagonist within the central nervous system, which means it acts as a blocker of specific cellular functions.

Paracetamol Analgesics are used to relieve pain such as headaches. Addiction to these can happen if taken over a long period of time.

Antibiotics e.g. Amoxicillin Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections Diarrhoea, feeling sick and vomiting are the most common side effects.
One drug that is prescribed quite often for pain and for withdrawal symptoms is methadone. Methadone is an opiate analgesic that treats pain by changing the way the brain and nervous system responds to pain (methadone
* Depressants slow down the central nervous system and can reduce anxiety or emotional distress., examples include cannabis and barbiturates. * Opiates provide pain relief, induce euphoria, sedation and can lead to coma, examples include heroin, opium, methadone and morphine. * Hallucinogens induce an altered state of consciousness and effect perception of reality, examples include LSD and mushrooms. Prescription drugs containing opoids, benzodiazipines (which are depressants of the central nervous system) or stimulants can be misused when taken for reasons other than those they were prescribed for. Prescription drugs can cause sedation, altered state of consciousness, depressed respiration and changes in blood pressure.
Anti depressants such as MAOI’s which increase the available amount of nor adrenaline in the brain, were found to be effective for elevating the symptoms of depression. So when noradrenalin is increased in the brain, symptoms of depression get better, suggests that it is chemicals that are the root cause of depression. This idea is also found in the results of taking reserpine, a drug used to treat high blood pressure. Depression is a unwanted side effect of this drug, as this drug acts by lowering levels of nor adrenaline. So again strongly suggests that low activity noradrenaline, is a factor contributing to the cause of depression.
The pH of the solution is 4.5 to 5.5. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action Palonosetron is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with a strong binding affinity for this receptor and litt le or no affinity for other receptors. Cancer chemotherapy may be associated with a high incidence of nausea and vomiting, particularly when certain agents, such as cisplatin, are used. 5-HT3 receptors are located on the nerve terminals of the vagus in the periphery and centrally in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the area postrema. It is thought that chemotherapeutic agents produce nausea and vomiting by releasing serotonin from the enterochromaffin cells of the small intestine and that the released s erotonin then activates 5-HT3 receptors located on vagal afferents to initiate the vomiting reflex.
