Morning-after treatments

In the UK 108 consecutive patients of chiropractors were asked to complete a questionnaire, which 80% of them returned (147). Of the questionnaires 68% were suitable for analysis. Adverse effects at 1 hour after treatment were reported by 28 patients and eight had adverse effects the morning after treatment. The most common adverse effects were extra local pain or radiating pain. No serious adverse effects were reported. [Pg.893]

Use of the extended-release (XL) preparation is recommended because of increased tolerability, decreased seizure risk, and the increased ease of use associated with a once-a-day preparation. Treatment with the sustained-release (SR) or XL preparation is initiated at a dose of 150 mg, preferably taken in the morning. After 4 days, the dosage may be increased to 150 mg twice a day (SR) or 300 mg once daily in the morning (XL). Gradual dose titration helps to minimize initial anxiety and insomnia. Temporary use of anxiolytic or hypnotic agents is reasonable in some patients but generally should be limited to the first few weeks of treatment. [Pg.35]

Urgent treatment is often begun with an oral dose of 30-60 mg prednisone per day or an intravenous dose of 1 mg/kg methylprednisolone every 6 hours the daily dose is decreased after airway obstruction has improved. In most patients, systemic corticosteroid therapy can be discontinued in a week or 10 days, but in other patients symptoms may worsen as the dose is decreased to lower levels. Because adrenal suppression by corticosteroids is related to dose and because secretion of endogenous corticosteroids has a diurnal variation, it is customary to administer corticosteroids early in the morning after endogenous ACTH secretion has peaked. For prevention of nocturnal asthma, however, oral or inhaled corticosteroids are most effective when given in the late afternoon. [Pg.436]

Pregnancy can be prevented following coitus by the administration of estrogens alone, progestin alone, or in combination ("morning after contraception). When treatment is begun within 72 hours, it is effective 99% of the time. Some effective schedules are shown in Table 40-4. The hormones are often administered with antiemetics, since 40% of the patients have nausea or vomiting. Other adverse effects include headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, and abdominal and leg cramps. [Pg.912]

Measurement of thyroid hormone concentrations in the serum has become an important final step in the endocrine safety pharmacology procedures (Capen 1992, O Connor et al. 2002). Basal concentrations are measured in serum samples in the morning before treatment (to avoid artefacts by the in diurnal fluctuation of thyroid hormone concentrations). In contrast to the rise in TSH after a test injection of TRH (dynamic function test), there is no pronounced rise after TRH stimulation. However, in specific situations, the secretion of thyroid hormones may be stimulated by the injection of a biosynthetic TSH preparation. [Pg.361]

A 25% incidence of grade 2 or more severe immunological reactions to docetaxel has been reported after the use of oral prednisone (100 mg orally before treatment and 50 mg once on the morning of treatment and the following 2 days) in 20 patients with non-small-cell lung cancers (8). No other premedications were given routinely. If infusion-related symptoms occurred, the infusion was interrupted and diphenhydramine was given. On subsequent cycles those patients then were routinely premedicated with diphenhydramine 25 or 50 mg intravenously and cimetidine 300 mg intravenously. [Pg.1172]

One of the four weekly peels sometimes causes transient and limited PIH (Figure 37.29), often on the sides of the face, and mainly occurs when the patient has not used effective sun protection from the morning after the first treatment. This PIH is easily reversible, erased by the following treatment, and can be avoided with good applica-... [Pg.332]

Table 1 shows the variation in the levels of heavy metals in effluent samples collected in the morning and afternoon. EWA and EWB represent morning and afternoon samples, respectively. Table 2 shows the effect of treatment of the effluent with sodium hydroxide during the period of study, with EWA and TEA representing the levels in ppm before and after treatment, respectively. ND represents non-detectable levels by the spectrophotometer. Table 3 shows results obtained when raw effluent, tap water, bore hole water and treated effluent were analyzed for the levels of heavy metals under study. The results show that there are very high levels of zinc in the borehole water. Table 4 shows the analytical results obtained after raw effluent was treated with sodium hydroxide and then compared to the analytical results obtained when lime was used instead of sodium hydroxide in treating the raw effluent. [Pg.138]

Another nurse stated Before the treatment was begun it took four or five of us to bathe and dress these patients. Yesterday morning (i.e., some months after treatment was instituted) I supervised the bathing and dressing of these patients alone. ... [Pg.3]

Two days before this episode, this patient had injected 2 g of MDMA IV and was admitted to the ICU of the hospital with nausea, repeated vomiting, diarrhoea and diaphoresis without hyperthermia. At that time his BP was 170/120 mm Hg, pulse was 120 bpm and temperature was normal. He had dysarthria and ataxia but he was oriented to time, place and person. His laboratory test results were within normal range except for hypokalaemia of 2.8mmol/L and an alcohol level of 1.26%. His symptoms resolved after treatment with midazolam and the next morning he was asymptomatic. [Pg.52]
