Gabapentin.pptx - Free download as Powerpoint Presentation (.ppt / .pptx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. Gabapentin and pregabalin are GABA analogs initially developed as anticonvulsants. Gabapentin - Free download as Word Doc (.doc / .docx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant medication used to treat seizures, nerve pain from shingles or herpes zoster, and restless leg syndrome. It works by competitively blocking the effects of histamine at H1-receptor sites and has atropine-like, antipruritic, and sedative effects. It is used to treat allergic rhinitis, motion sickness, as a nighttime sleep aid, and to treat cough due to colds or allergies. Studies show gabapentin is effective in reducing neuropathic pain from conditions like diabetic neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. Gabapentin works by binding to voltage-gated calcium channels in the brain and spinal cord to reduce neurotransmitter release and inhibit neuronal excitability. Gabapentin is used as an adjunctive therapy to treat partial seizures in patients aged 12 and older with epilepsy, as well as in children aged 3 to 12. It is also used to manage postherpetic neuralgia in adults. The dosage varies depending on the indication and age of the patient, starting as low as 10-15 mg/kg/day divided three times daily for children and increasing up to 1800 mg/day divided This document provides information about the drug Diphenhydramine HCl. It belongs to several drug classes including antihistamine, anti-motion sickness drug, antiparkinsonian, cough suppressant, and sedative-hypnotic. It works by competitively blocking the effects of histamine at H1-receptor sites and has atropine-like, antipruritic, and sedative effects. It is used to treat allergic rhinitis This document summarizes information on 6 different drug studies: 1. KALIUM DURULE is a potassium supplement used to treat and prevent potassium deficiency and certain arrhythmias. It can cause hyperkalemia and GI side effects. 2. COLCHICINE is an anti-gout drug that decreases uric acid deposition and inflammation. It has many potential adverse effects involving multiple organ systems. 3 Drug Study by Catherine Espinosa. Generic Name: Gabapentin Trade Name(s): Gralise, Horizant, Neurontin. Drug Classification: Therapeutic: analgesic adjuncts, therapeutic, anticonvulsants, mood stabiliz- ers Therapeutic Uses: Decreased incidence of seizures. Decreased postherpetic pain. Decreased leg restlessness. Possible Routes of Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant medication used in the management of peripheral neuropathic pains, postherpetic neuralgia, and partial-onset seizures. Drug Study - Free download as Word Doc (.doc), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. Pregabalin binds to calcium channels in the central nervous system, reducing neurotransmitter release and increasing GABA transport. It is indicated for neuropathic pain associated with diabetes, postherpetic neuralgia, and as an adjunct for partial seizures. Common adverse effects include dizziness, somnolence, dry mouth, constipation, and peripheral edema. History of pregnancy, lactation This document summarizes information about the drug Sitagliptin, including its classification, indications, mechanism of action, side effects, contraindications, precautions, dosage, and nursing responsibilities. Sitagliptin is an oral anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes either alone or in combination with other drugs. It works by prolonging the action of GLP-1 and GIP Drug Study Gabapentin - Free download as Word Doc (.doc / .docx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. This document summarizes information about the drug Gabapentin, including its: 1. Indications for use as an adjunctive therapy for partial seizures and post-herpetic neuralgia. 2. Gabapentin - DRUG Study. Gabapentin - DRUG Study. Course. Nursing Enhancement Program (NUR 107) 394 Documents. Students shared 394 documents in this course. University Drug study on Diazepam - Free download as Word Doc (.doc / .docx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine that acts as an antianxiety agent, anticonvulsant, sedative/hypnotic, and skeletal muscle relaxant by potentiating the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the central nervous system. Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant used to treat neuropathic pain and as an adjunctive therapy for partial seizures. Common side effects include dizziness, somnolence, dry mouth, blurred vision, and edema. Nurses monitor patients for signs of decreased platelet count, neutropenia, hypoglycemia, and hypersensitivity. Patients are instructed to notify their prescriber of new vision changes or Gabapentin (Neurontin) is an anticonvulsant and analgesic adjunct prescribed for partial seizures and neuropathy. It is taken by mouth three times daily, with a normal dosage range of 300-1800 mg per day. Common side effects include confusion, depression, drowsiness, and ataxia. This document summarizes key information about the drug digoxin, including its indication, mechanism of action, dosing, contraindications, side effects, nursing considerations, and patient teaching points. Digoxin is used for treatment of heart failure and control of ventricular rate in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. It works by inhibiting the sodium-potassium ATPase pump in Mechanism of action and indications (Why med ordered) -Gabapentin was designed to mimic the neurotransmitter GABA. It does not, however, bind to GABA receptors. Its mechanism of action as an antiepileptic agent likely involves its inhibition of the alpha 2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels.
