Drug titration is the process of adjusting the dose of a medication for the maximum benefit without adverse effects. [ 1 ] When a drug has a narrow therapeutic index , titration is especially important, because the range between the dose at which a drug is effective and the dose at which side effects occur is small. [ 2 ]
Along with sharing tapering tips, members of the groups discuss the risks of prescription cascade, where withdrawal symptoms or the side effects of a psychotropic medication result in further medication, and the risk of neurobiological "kindling" effects where repeated unsuccessful withdrawal attempts yield progressively poor results upon drug ...
Red burning skin syndrome from topical steroids. Typical pattern on lower arms and hands. Before discontinuation, steroid dermatitis is characterised by spreading dermatitis and worsening skin inflammation, which requires a stronger topical steroid to get the same result as the first prescription.
Intermittent use of topical steroids for atopic dermatitis is safe and does not cause skin thinning. [6] [7] [8] Skin atrophy can occur with both prescription and over the counter steroids creams. [9] Low doses of prednisone by mouth can also result in skin atrophy.
The Federal Reserve announced in its Federal Open Market Committee meeting Wednesday, Dec. 15, that it will begin tapering bond purchases in an attempt to curb rapid inflation. But what is bond...
Methylprednisolone (Depo-Medrol, Medrol, Solu-Medrol) is a synthetic glucocorticoid, primarily prescribed for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. [4] [5] [6] It is either used at low doses for chronic illnesses or used concomitantly at high doses during acute flares.
A titration curve is a curve in graph the x-coordinate of which represents the volume of titrant added since the beginning of the titration, and the y-coordinate of which represents the concentration of the analyte at the corresponding stage of the titration (in an acid–base titration, the y-coordinate usually represents the pH of the solution).
Cerimetry or cerimetric titration, also known as cerate oximetry, is a method of volumetric chemical analysis developed by Ion Atanasiu. It is a redox titration in which an iron(II)–1,10-phenanthroline complex color change indicates the end point. Ferroin can be reversibly discolored in its oxidized form upon titration with a Ce 4+ solution ...
