Expected drug reactions

The expected outcomes for the patient depend on the reason for administration but may include an optimal response to therapy (infectious process controlled), management of adverse drug reactions, and an understanding of and compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen. 

The expected outcomes for Hie patient may include an opfimal response to drug Hierapy, management of common adverse drug reactions, absence of injury, and an understanding of and compliance wiHi Hie prescribed Hierapeufic regimen. 

The extensive clinical experience with these drugs in epilepsy shows they are better tolerated and less toxic than lithium (Bowden and Muller-Oerlinghausen, 2000 Rang et ah, 2003). Since the dose regimens for epilepsy and affective disorders are similar, it would be expected that the levels of adverse drug reactions would also be similar. With... 

Meanwhile, these chemicals—like chemical agents encountered at work or in hobbies or as pollutants in air, water, soil, or food—can also cause harm. Sometimes the known mechanisms of action permit us to predict the nature of toxicity to be expected. A meta-analysis of prospective studies from U.S. hospitals indicates that 6.7% of in-patients have serious adverse drug reactions 0.3% have fatal reactions (Lazarou et al., 1998). In fact, estimates of 40,000 to 100,000 deaths per year attributed to errors in medical care, primarily due to adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals, make this phenomenon a major cause of death in the United States (Meyer, 2000). A tremendous... 

As expected, the reaction of a sulfonyl chloride with ammonia produces a sulfonamide. This reaction is used in the preparation of sulfanilamide, a sulfa drug that was one of the first antibacterial agents ...
