Frequency of treatment

The usual frequency of treatments is 3 times/day. Treatments may be increased up to 4 times/day however, the interval between treatments should be at least 4 hours. For some patients, 2 treatments a day may be adequate. Seek medical advice immediately if the previously effective dosage regimen fails to provide the usual relief, as this is often a sign of seriously worsening asthma that would require reassessment of therapy. [Pg.714]

The results of Lerer et al. [1995] are consistent with clinical experience. When there is a need for rapid response with ECT (e.g., food refusal], treatment three times per week is indicated. On the other hand, if a patient appears to be at risk for cognitive side effects (e.g., frail elderly], reducing the frequency of treatment to two times per week is justified. [Pg.172]

The flavor of the fried food improves with the oil treatment, when appropriate treatment material is used. However, one needs to look at the overall economics. The cost of oil treatment material, the recommended frequency of treatment, the dosage of the treatment material, and the savings on oil must be checked carefully to justify the use of the treatment material for treating the oil. [Pg.2257]

A flu-like illness, with fever, headache, malaise, and bone pain, can occur shortly after the administration of rifampicin, and was observed in a man who had taken rifampicin 600 mg monthly for multibacillary leprosy (10). However, the reaction usually occurs with higher doses given weekly or twice weekly. The usual procedure is to reduce the dose or increase the frequency of treatment. Antipyretic drugs can be used to provide symptomatic relief. [Pg.3041]

Study length and the frequency of treatment are design aspects that must also be considered. These are aspects in which the objective of detection and dose-response definition conflict. [Pg.2641]

None of these reactions are common, but almost any kind of minor reaction is possible. The dosage or frequency of treatment can be reduced, but don t stop. Eventually, you will probably be rewarded with better health. Before starting, consult a doctor familiar with the procedure. (That won t be easy. Even doctors who use it I.V. often are chary of recommending it by mouth.)... [Pg.38]

Numerous oral carcinogenicity studies of NDMA of intermediate duration have been conducted. Treatment durations were often in the range of 20-40 weeks, frequency of treatment ranged from once weekly to daily, and carcinogenicity was observed in all studies. Studies representing various treatment durations and various methods of oral treatment (drinking water, diet and gavage) for the lowest doses in different species are identified below. [Pg.48]

The term complementary pest control can describe two quite distinct spheres of activity. Firstly, it can refer to those activities performed either immediately before or after a pesticide application, or to those performed at regular intervals in between treatments, with the objectives, in both cases, of increasing control efficacy and of reducing the frequency of treatments. Secondly, it can refer to alternative treatments in their own right in the current context these are of a nonchemical, stand-alone nature. [Pg.161]

Dilation of bands under the wave influence has also been observed for the region 1000-1300 cm"1 where there are bands of skeletal vibrations of chains -C-C-C- and CH2- and CH3-groups, as well as vibrations of aromatic systems. Interesting feature of the studied spectra is a decrease of the intensity of bands at 910 cm1, 967 cm1, 1640 cm1, 1660 cm"1 and occurrence after vibrating influence of bands at 3440 cm1 and 3238 cm"1, which intensity increases with increase of time and frequency of treatment. These bands belong to vibrations of O-H bond in water and hydroxylic compounds. [Pg.374]

Charcoal hemoperfusion can also remove the toxin in hepatic failure. A model of galactosamine-induced fulminant hepatic failure in a rat with grade 3 hepatic encephalopathy, demonstrated the potential utility of multisorbent plasma perfusion over uncoated spherical charcoal, and an endotoxin removing adsorbent (polymyxin B-sepharose). Timing, duration and frequency of treatment impacted liver cell proliferative response as compared to untreated fulminant hepatic failure paired controls (Ryan et al., 2001). [Pg.141]

Because each patient is unique, the frequency of treatment may vary from patient to patient, even for a condition that seems the same in both. A general rule that may be used is that a weekly treatment is generally sufficient for a subacute condition or in the early treatment of more chronic conditions. Some acute conditions necessitate more frequent treatment, perhaps even daily in the early stages. [Pg.672]

A manometer is inserted into the system between the valve and the resistance to monitor the pressure. This pressure should be 10 20 cmH20 at mid-expiration. Tidal breathing, with a slightly active expiration, is used and lung volume is retained at a raised level by avoiding complete expiration. The forced expiration technique is used to clear the secretions that are mobilized. The duration and frequency of treatment are adapted for each individual. PEP increases the pressure gradient between the open and closed alveoli, thus tending to maintain alveoli patency. It increases the functional residual capacity (FRC). This reduces the resistance in collateral and small airways. [Pg.355]

For 378 hters (100 gallons) of a 1 13 mixture 26.5 L (7 gallons) of inhibitor to 351 L (93 gallons) of oil. Because concentration and frequency of treatment will vary, better results will be obtained by estabhshing the proper freafment for each well. B... [Pg.166]

Remember that a corrosion inhibitor program is basically a coating treatment. The amount of inhibitor required depends upon the amount of metal to be protected, not upon the volume of fluid produced by the well. The amount of fluid produced determines the frequency of treatment, although it is probable that no well should go longer than three months between corrosion treatments. [Pg.173]

Spinal column is the most common site of skeletal osseous metastases, with lung and breast lesions being the primary ones to metastasize [7]. As there are advances made in the diagnosis and treatment of the primary disease, the Ufe span of a patient generally increases causing an increase in the frequency of treatment for symptomatic distant metastases. [Pg.218]
