An equianalgesic chart is a conversion chart that lists equivalent doses of analgesics (drugs used to relieve pain). Equianalgesic charts are used for calculation of an equivalent dose (a dose which would offer an equal amount of analgesia) between different analgesics. [1]
Lansoprazole, sold under the brand name Prevacid among others, is a medication which reduces stomach acid. [4] It is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), used to treat peptic ulcer disease , gastroesophageal reflux disease , and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome . [ 5 ]
[49] [50] When nebulized, budesonide has an bioavailability of 6% and reaches C max within 1–3 hours. [50] [49] When formulated as a rectal foam, budesonide has an bioavailability of 3% to 27% and reaches C max around 1.5 hours. [51] The plasma protein binding of budesonide is around 85-90%, with an apparent volume of distribution of 2.2-3.9L/kg.
Ibuprofen, an analgesic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), [1] is sold under many brand-names around the world. The most common are Brufen (its earliest registered trademark), Advil, Motrin, and Nurofen .
Allowing sufficient time between doses of ibuprofen and immediate-release (IR) aspirin can avoid this problem. The recommended elapsed time between a dose of ibuprofen and a dose of aspirin depends on which is taken first. It would be 30 minutes or more for ibuprofen taken after IR aspirin, and 8 hours or more for ibuprofen taken before IR aspirin.
Specifically, for drug dosing, the patient's length-based dosing zone can be adjusted up one color zone if the child appears overweight. Thus, incorporating a visual estimate of whether the child is overweight provides a simple method to predict actual patient weight that appears to be clinically relevant given the rise in obesity in the U.S ...
On January 15, 2010, a voluntary recall of several hundred batches of popular medicines was announced, including Benadryl, Motrin, Rolaids, Simply Sleep, St. Joseph Aspirin, and Tylenol. [16] The recall was due to complaints of a musty smell suspected to be due to contamination of the packaging with the chemical 2,4,6-tribromoanisole. [17]
Paracetamol's bioavailability is dose-dependent: it increases from 63 % for 500 mg dose to 89 % for 1000 mg dose. [6] Its plasma terminal elimination half-life is 1.9–2.5 hours, [ 6 ] and volume of distribution is roughly 50 L. [ 132 ] Protein binding is negligible, except under the conditions of overdose, when it may reach 15–21 %. [ 6 ]
