Salt tablets

The MAOIs cause significant hypotension, which is often the dose-limiting side effect of these drugs. Expansion of intravascular volume through administration of salt tablets or fludrocortisone may be an effective treatment. 

The DUROS consists of a cylindrical titanium chamber (Fig. 13). The original version was approximately 4 mm in diameter and 4 cm in length other sizes can be produced (Fisher, 2002). One end of the cylinder is capped with a semipermeable membrane the other is capped with an orifice designed to permit unidirectional release of the drug. Inside the cylinder, at the membrane end, is a salt tablet, adjacent to which is a piston. The remainder of the cylinder is the reservoir in which the drug is stored. 

Bath salt tablets are also usually alkaline. The so-called neutral pH skin care products are usually acidified to pH 5 to 5.5 (the natural pH of the skin) and may therefore cause some hydrolysis of esters.

Acanthamoeba ocular infection was first described in 1915. Acanthamoeba keratitis can occur in both healthy and immunocompromised individuals and is initiated by contact with contaminated water. Most Acanthamoeba keratitis cases described in the mid-1980s involved daily-wear soft contact lens wearers who were using saline made from distilled water and salt tablets. Cases have also been described in extended-wear soft contact lens wearers and rigid contact lens wearers. In a survey of corneal specialists, it was found that 85% of the reported cases were in contact lens patients using primarily daily-wear or extended-wear soft lenses. 

Prior to the commercial availability of pharmaceutically prepared saline solutions, they were prepared by the lenswearer using salt tablets and distilled water. This method was undesirable and created many problems as the pH and osmolarity of such solutions were not controlled, which often resulted in parameter changes in some soft lenses. The major problem...

These fiuid losses are usually replaced by drinking sodium-free fluids, and this results in a hyponatraemia. Tlie process of acclimatization includes a re-setting of. sodium excretion of the sweat glands, leading to increased heat tolerance. The preventive treatment of this hyponatraemia is with oral salt tablets. 

Precautions Moderately toxic by swallowing. An effect on the human body by swallowing is blood pressure increase. A skin and eye irritant. Swallowing of large amounts of sodium chloride can cause irritation of the stomach. Improper use of salt tablets may produce this effect. USDA states GRAS (generally recognized as safe) when used within limits. 

Examples of special self-cooling clothing are (1) an ice vest that consists of a light fitting vest with 60 small pockets of ice, and (2) a vinyl one-piece coverall with a built-in air distribution system that directs cool air against the body and exhausts warm air. The ice vest is used when mobility is important and the length of exposure is short. The body suit is used when a longer exposure time is necessary. Also, many sites require that an outside worker come into an air-conditioned area on some scheduled frequency and also take salt tablets or some form of electrolyte. 

Your body loses sodium chloride in sweat. The result can be exhaustion. So people in hot climates often have to take salt tablets. 

Excess perspiration and salt depletion may be accompanied by heat exhaustion. Salt tablets taken with a liberal amount of water may be advised under these conditions. 

Desipramine is the principle metabolite of imipramine after demethylation and shows comparatively high selectivity for NAT. It is available as hydrochloride salt tablets and 100-200 mg are usually given in the treatment of depression. 

Lofepramine, a NA-selective TCA, is available as hydrochloride salt tablets and oral suspension at 70 mL/5 mL. It is considered to be less toxic in overdose and one of the metabolites is desipramine. Lofepramine shows high plasma protein binding around 99%. 

Protriptyline (Fig. 18.17), available as hydrochloride salt tablets (5 and 10 mg), shows slow absorption with peak plasma concentration being reached between 8 and 12 hours. 

Amitriptyline is actable as hydrochloride salt tablets (10, 25 and 50 mg) hut the emhonate (i.e. the pamoic add salt) has also been described. Oral solutions (25 mg/5 mL) are also used A multi-ingredient preparation (sugar-coated tablets) containing 25 mg amitriptyline and 2 mg...
