Heparin is considered a hazardous drug, Heparin may be the leading cause of drug-related deaths in hospitalized patients who are relatively... [Pg.132]

I11 the therapy of deep venous thrombosis, heparin is commonly administered. This drug takes effect immediately to prevent further thrombus formation. However, heparin is regarded as a hazardous drug and possibly may be tlie leading cause of drug-related deaths 111 hospitalized patients who are relatively well. Usually administered intravenously, preferably by pump-dnven infusion at a constant rate rather than by intermittent injections, it sometimes may cause major bleeding, which is particularly hazardous if it is intracranial. The action of heparin can be terminated almost immediately by intravenous injection of protamine sulfate, but where there may be less urgency, vitamin Ki may be used. The vitamin preparation may be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously. [Pg.1707]

Identification of potentially hazardous drug-drug interactions... [Pg.695]

Drug interactions As with previous editions, D.E.R.M. 16 contains details of many severe, hazardous drug-drug interactions. Only clinically significant drug interactions that have been reported to trigger potential harm and that could be life-threatening have been included. These interactions are predictable and well documented in controlled studies they should be avoided. [Pg.701]

The major portion of the manual - the body of the work - lists in A-Z order the 1300-odd generic drugs and supplements, and the adverse reactions that can arise from their use. A note outlining hazardous interactions only appears alongside those drugs for which severe/hazardous drug interactions are reported. [Pg.704]

Information is very limited, but on the basis of the evidence cited above the manufacturers of astemizole contraindicate the concurrent use of quinine in order to avoid the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. The case report that is cited here confirms that this is a potentially clinically hazardous drug combination. ... [Pg.595]

The most likely explanation for what happened is that the herbal diuretic caused the lithium toxicity. It is impossible to know which herb or combination of herbs actually caused the toxicity, or how, but this case once again emphasises that herbal remedies are not risk-free just because they are natural. It also underscores the need for patients to avoid self-medication without first seeking informed advice and supervision if they are taking potentially hazardous drugs like lithium. [Pg.1124]

Numerous books dealing with emulsions and suspensions focus on surfactants and formulations, generally in such fields as agronomy, food sciences, and the paint and petroleum industries. Much less attention has been paid to pharmaceutical systems, which are unique and more specific in their applications, toxicity, health hazards, drug delivery, and legislation. In fact, there is no comprehensive and practical text available on this subject, notwithstanding the great demand. This book has been written to remedy this situation. [Pg.661]

The ASHP recommends that pharmacies develop and implement a safety management program. Pharmacy representation on the safety committee is important not only to the department but also to the effectiveness of the safety committee. Concern over safe handhng of medication errors and hazardous drug safety has increased the pharmacy s presence on the committee. The pharmacy director must ensure that the department conducts an effective orientation and on-the-job training program to address... [Pg.361]

The 1990 ASHP definition of hazardous drugs was revised by the NIOSH Woiking Group on Hazardous Drugs for this Alert. Drugs considered hazardous include those that exhibit one or more of the following characteristics in humans or animals ... [Pg.364]

Pharmacy or nursing departments often develop lists of hazardous drugs. These comprehensive lists should include all hazardous medications routinely used or likely used by a local practice. Some of the resources that employers can use to evaluate the hazard potential of a drug include... [Pg.365]

The NIOSH list was compiled from information provided by (1) four institutions that generated lists of hazardous drugs for their respective facilities, (2) the American Hospital Formulary Service Drug Information (AHFS DI) monographs, and (3) several other sources. Institutions may want to adopt this list or compare theirs with the list on the NIOSH website. [Pg.365]

During the preparation of hazardous drugs, use a ventilated cabinet to reduce the potential for occupational exposure. Performance test methods and criteria for BSCs may be found in Primary Containment for Biohazards Selection, Installation and Use of Biological Safety Cabinets, second edition, CDC/NIH, 2000. A current field certification label should be prominently displayed on the ventilated cabinet per NSF/ANSI49. [Pg.366]
