Dimenhydrinate is an antiemetic especially usehil as an antinauseant in motion sickness, and for syndromes associated with vertigo such as Meniere s syndrome, radiation sickness, and vestibular dysfunction. It may produce mild drowsiness. It is FDA Category B for Pregnancy, and is available as an OTC preparation as well as by prescription. [Pg.204]

Antibodies have been generated which produce immunoassays that discriminate between GH-V and GH-N. These assay systems have shown that the secretion of GH-V becomes elevated at about three weeks of pregnancy and increases to approximately 15 ng/mL near term (8). The physiological role of GH-V is uncertain. Genetic deficiency of GH-V does not adversely affect pregnancy or fetal development (9). GH-V is a potent growth-stimulator but possesses considerably less lactogenic activity than GH-N (10). There are no clinical appHcations (ca 1993) for GH-V. [Pg.181]

Increased amounts are required during pregnancy and lactation. Adequate intake with adequate intake of protein. [Pg.373]

The penicillins in general, ate renowned for their lack of toxicity. The most common adverse effect of the use of penicillins is an allergic reaction which can change from a mild rash to fatal anaphylactic shock in rate cases. AH penicillins cross the placenta and ate excreted in maternal milk. However, the relative freedom from toxicity tenders these compounds valuable agents during pregnancy and lactation. [Pg.83]

The recommended daily allowances of calcium are children to 10 years of age, 360—800 mg teenage children, 1200 mg adults, 800 mg, increasing to 1200 mg during pregnancy and lactation (29). Cow s milk suppHes ca 1.27 g/L of calcium in available form. [Pg.409]

Once an employer has been informed that an employee is pregnant the equivalent dose to a foetus should not exceed 1 mSv during the remainder of the pregnancy and significant bodily contamination of breast-feeding employees must be prevented. [Pg.393]

Beneficial effects have also been attributed to PAF. In reproduction, PAF secreted by the fertilized egg is instrumental in the implantation of the egg in the uterine wall. PAF is produced in significant quantities in the lungs of the fetus late in pregnancy and may stimulate the production of fetal lung surfactant, a protein-lipid complex that prevents collapse of the lungs in a newborn infant. [Pg.247]

The first SPRM to reach the advanced stage of clinical development for treatment of endometriosis and uterine fibroids, asoprisnil, is expected to receive FDA approval this year. The therapeutic effect of asoprisnil stems from its PR antagonist/ antiproliferative activity in the endometrium and breast. Unlike classical PR antagonists however, this compound does not induce labor in animal models of pregnancy and parturition. Recent structural studies... [Pg.1116]

Vitamin C requirements are increased during pregnancy and lactation, in patients undergoing hemodialysis and in smokers. Seniors often have suboptimal intakes. [Pg.1294]

Amantadine is used cautiously in patients with seizure disorders, psychiatric problems, renal impairment, and cardiac disease. Amantadine is a Pregnancy Category B drug and is used cautiously during pregnancy and lactation. Concurrent use of antihistamines, phenothiazines, tricyclic antidepressants, disopyramide, and quinidine may increase the anticholinergic effects (dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation) of amantadine... [Pg.124]

Iodoquinol is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity. Iodoquinol is used with caution in patients with thyroid disease and during pregnancy and lactation. Iodoquinol may interfere with the results of thyroid function tests. This interference not only occurs during therapy, but may last as long as 6 months after iodoquinol therapy is discontinued. [Pg.147]

The NSAIDs are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity. There is a cross-sensitivity to other NSAIDs. Therefore, if a patient is allergic to one NSAID, there is an increased risk of an allergic reaction with any other NSAID. Hypersensitivity to aspirin is a contraindication for all NSAIDs. In general, the NSAIDs are contraindicated during the third trimester of pregnancy and during lactation. [Pg.162]

The term pasaon flower is used to denote many of the approximately 400 species of the herb. F saon flower has been used in medicine to treat pain, anxiety, and insomnia. Some herbalists use the herb to treat symptoms of parkinsonism. F saon flower is often used in combination with other herbs , such a valerian, chamomile, and hops, for promoting relaxation, rest and sleep. Although no adverse reactions have been reported, large doses may cause CNS depression. The use of passion flower is contraindicated in pregnancy and in patientstaking the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Fission flower contains coumarin, and the risk of bleeding may be increased when used in patientstaking warfarin and pasaon flower. [Pg.172]

Chap. 31), and during lactation. Levodopa is used cautiously in patients with cardiovascular disease, bronchial asthma, emphysema, peptic ulcer disease, renal or hepatic disease and psychosis. Levodopa and combination antiparkinsonism drugs (eg, carbidopa/levodopa) are classified as Pregnancy Category C and are used with caution during pregnancy and lactation. [Pg.267]
