Common adverse effects of nitrates include postural hypotension, flushing, and headache secondary to venodilation. Headache often resolves with continued therapy and may be treated with acetaminophen. Hypotension is generally... [Pg.78]

The client can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for a headache secondary to a head injury. The client does not need more teaching. [Pg.358]

The oxides of nitrogen are somewhat sol in w, reacting with it in the presence of oxygen to form nitric and nitrous acids. This is the action that takes place deep in the respiratory system. The acids formed are irritants, causing congestion of the throat and bronchi, and edema of the lungs. The acids are neutralized by the alkalies present in the tissues, with the formation of nitrates and nitrites. The latter may cause some arterial dilation, fall in blood press, headache and dizziness, and there may be some formation of methemoglobin. However, the nitrite effect is of secondary importance... [Pg.347]

O Headache maybe a primary, or a secondary disorder due to an underlying medical condition. [Pg.501]

For this reason, secondary amides do not generally cause any spectroscopic headaches. [Pg.79]

Patients with secondary hypertension may complain of symptoms suggestive of the underlying disorder. Patients with pheochromocytoma may have a history of paroxysmal headaches, sweating, tachycardia, palpitations, and orthostatic hypotension. In primary aldosteronism, hypokalemic symptoms of muscle cramps and weakness may be present. Patients with hypertension secondary to Cushing s syndrome may complain of weight gain, polyuria, edema, menstrual irregularities, recurrent acne, or muscular weakness. [Pg.125]

Patients should be monitored daily for resolution of signs and symptoms associated with influenza, such as fever, myalgia, headache, malaise, nonproductive cough, sore throat, and rhinitis. These signs and symptoms will typically resolve within approximately 1 week. If the patient continues to exhibit signs and symptoms of illness beyond 10 days or a worsening of symptoms after 7 days, a physician visit is warranted as this may be an indication of a secondary bacterial infection. [Pg.468]

The majority of patients treated for primary and secondary syphilis experience the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction after treatment, characterized by flu-like symptoms such as transient headache, fever, chills, malaise, arthralgia, myalgia, tachypnea, peripheral vasodilation, and aggravation of syphilitic lesions. [Pg.513]

In selected circumstances and secondary headache presentation, serum chemistries, urine toxicology profiles, thyroid function tests, lyme studies, and other blood tests, such as a complete blood count, antinuclear antibody titer, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and antiphospholipid antibody titer may be considered. [Pg.614]

Medical Management No specific viral therapy exists so treatment is supportive only. Treat patients with uncomplicated VEE infection with analgesics to relieve headache and myalgia. Patients who develop encephalitis could require anticonvulsants and intensive care to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, ensure adequate ventilation, and avoid complicating secondary bacterial infections. Patients should be treated in a screened room or in quarters treated with residual insecticide for at least five days after onset, or until afebrile (without fever) to foil mosquitoes since humans may remain infectious for mosquitoes for at least seventy-two hours. Isolation and qaurantine is not required. Standard Precautions should be practiced when dealing with infection control for VEE victims as shown below ... [Pg.187]

There are several reports of noteworthy extrapulmonary effects in laboratory animals with concentrations of about 0.2 ppm. These include reduced voluntary activity, chromosomal aberrations in circulating lymphocytes of hamsters, increased neonatal mortality, and greater incidence of jaw abnormalities in offspring of ozone-exposed mice. The mechanisms of these reported effects and whether th are due to direct actions of absorbed ozone, some secondary reaction product, or secondary responses to the stress of local actions in the lung are largely unknown. However, reported analogous effects in humans exposed to ozone, such as changes in visual acuity and headache (possibly related to the reduced activity in... [Pg.375]

All patients receiving pilocarpine eye drops should be advised to be careful if driving at night since pilocarpine may cause blurred vision. Other side-effects include headache and brow ache secondary to ciliary spasms. [Pg.335]

Headache is one of the most frequent complaints which mankind suffers from. Most commonly the headache starts from one of the pain sensitive structures of the skull, but diseases originating outside the skull are also important causes of headache. Diseases of the eye, sinuses, jaw, teeth and neck often cause headache, but also visceral tissue may give rise to headache. The headache may be secondary to many diseases, e.g. anaemia and hypertension. Drug induced headache is not uncommon, either as an adverse reaction, e.g. to calcium antagonists and SSRIs, or as part of more complex problems in chronic headache. [Pg.499]

C. Pyrazinamide is known to cause hyperuricemia and precipitate gouty arthritis. Pyrazinamide-induced gouty arthritis does not respond to uricosuric therapy with probenecid but may respond to acetylsalicylic acid. Cycloserine (A) can cause headaches, confusion, tremors, and seizures, possibly secondary to low levels of magnesium in the cerebrospinal fluid cycloserine should be avoided in patients with epilepsy and mental depression. It is not associated with hyperuricemia. Thiacetazone (B) is an antibiotic that is rarely used in tuberculosis. The most common adverse reactions are general rashes and GI intolerance. Its use is not associated with hy-... [Pg.565]

Secondary symptoms Headache, stiffness of the neck and back, general pain, blocked nose, runny nose, sneezing, shortness of breath, cough. [Pg.38]

Sang Ye and Ju Hua are sweet, bitter and cold Bo He is pungent and cold. They all enter the Lung and Liver meridians and have light dispersing and descending abilities. As assistants in formulas, they disperse constrained Liver-Qi and clear Liver-heat to treat secondary syndromes. They are particularly effective for treating dry eyes, blurred vision and headache. [Pg.322]
