I've a liquid preparation to take with a large eyedropper. I'm to put it sublingually under my tongue so it will be absorbed, but I can't seem to get it right. I end up swallowing most of it, or the dropper doesn't empty fully. Do you have experience with such application, and can you tell me how to do it correctly?

I used to take a testosterone booster that was applied like that... I swallowed all spit and sprayed it under my tongue and just waited swishing it around under the tongue.  Just don't swallow it or tilt your head back too far.

Probably bitter if you chew a pill. Yet I believe you said liquid form? I would imagine it would not taste the best yet if it helps you then it shouldn't matter. Mix it in some juice and then swallow it.

Lubricating and Rewetting Drops: Povidone; Boric Acid; Potassium Chloride; Sodium Borate; Sodium Chloride; Preserved With: Edetate Disodium 0.1%; Sorbic Acid 0.1% (doesn't sound harmful to me..)\n\nHere is a description:\nTo clean, disinfect and remove protein daily, complete these simple steps: STEP 1: Thoroughly rinse each side of the lens (5 seconds) with ReNu with MoistureLoc Multi-Purpose Solution. STEP 2: Place cleaned contact lens in the lens case and fill with fresh ReNu with MoistureLoc Multi-Purpose Solution. Soak at least four (4) hours. Always follow your eye care professional's instructions. Based upon your individual tear chemistry and lens-wearing schedule, your eye care practitioner may recommend additional products or procedures such as placing 3 drops of this solution on each lens surface and rubbing for 20 seconds before Step 1. Storage: You may store your lenses at room temperature, up to a maximum of 30 days in the unopened lens case. To Moisten Lenses and Soothe Eyes: During wear, put two or three drops of ReNu MultiPlus Lubricating and Rewetting Drops on contacts whenever needed. Blink several times. If the contacts still do not feel comfortable, add another drop. If discomfort persists, IMMEDIATELY remove contacts and contact your eye care professional.\nhttp://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/detail?prodid=168426\nI think you are fine using it as drops :-)

All of these may have an effect on absorbance since they all have the potential to affect the final concentration of the solutions being measured; In (a), you don'y know what might be in the wet stuff in the beaker, so your absorbance might go up.  In (b), because the pipet has not been "wetted" with your solution, you might pick up less than you thought, so your concentration might be lower and give a lower absorbance.  I'll let you figure out (c) for yourself since I can't be sure what you typed!

use anything like a dropper:\na straw will do great;\nelse, use a napkin to absorb a bit of liquid and squeeze gently, that should give you a drop;

Oh, I know! I'm almost 27 frigging years old and STILL have to chew up my pills. I recently had to start taking Prevacid for acid reflux disease and I have to open it up, put the medicine in a cup (which look like teeny tiny white marbles BTW), put it in my mouth, and drink water with it. Although I remember to give my daughter her meds every day... me on the other hand.... take three meds in the a.m. and two meds in the p.m., I cannot remember to take them for the life of me!

Use an eyedropper drip as small as an amount as you can onto the paper.

1. If the patient is NPO do you need evidence with MBS or some other tests before you do a bed side eval with different lquids and food textures? \n2. Also has anyone had experience with the National standards diets for dysphagia? Would like to know whether anyone likes the standardization, whether it works in SNF settings or not. \n3. Have you known of patients developing swallow problems after a few months after a stroke and they have become medically stabilized. What would cause such a sudden onset. Pt has developed no other problem and progressing well otherwise. Are there some medications (changes in dosages , etc., that might likely cause some side effects that affect the strength and mobility of muscles? Any thoughts on that? \nAnyone with experience with   ** Vital Stim? **   or E-stim? what's the difference? between the two instruments? \nSoem SLPs tend to say E-stim is better than Vital stim. redaing the literature both seem to be based on minimal research and the FDA approval seems to just say that the instrument is safe to use under specific conditions. \n\nMay be it help for your but i did not find anything else about this topic

I have been a nurse for over 25 years. It is known that liquid medications are better and more quickly absorbed by the body than pill form. Any multiple vitamin liquid will be about the same as the next, but be prepared- they taste absolutely nasty!!!!

Sounds like I would get a second opinion. It is correct not to use visine or any get the red out medicine. After you stop using it your eye gets more red than it was before b/c your eyes become dependant on the drop. Also the drop is just covering up what the real problem is and not fixing it. There are lots of causes for red eyes and pressure doesn't make since.

Steps for self medication of caffeine:\n\n1)  Sterilize a 500 cc IV bottle along with a funnel, a rubber stopper and some rubber tubing.\n\n2)  Using the funnel, fill the bottle to the 300 cc line with your favorite caffeinated beverage.  \n\n3)  Using the funnel again, add in cream, half-n-half, or other beverage enhancements.\n\n4) Put in the rubber stopper and shake bottle (unless you've added carbonation) well to mix all ingredients.\n\n5)  Have your Rotary peristaltic feeding pump at the ready!\n\n6)  And hook up the IV to your Rotary peristaltic feeding pump. (more detailed instructions on this part will cause kids at home to try this...so I'm not going there.)\n\nNow...you'll want a pump that is compact and weighs only 1.3 pounds, so it is ideal for ambulatory use.   Make sure it runs on a rechargeable NiMH battery so it'll run 24 hrs before needing to be recharged. What's really nice, is that you can set the speed of caffeinated delivery right there on the pump!\n\n7) Put the whole shebang into a nice little backpack, stick the rubber tube into your mouth, flip the switch on your Rotary peristaltic feeding pump.\n\n8) Now you're set!  Enjoy your highly caffeinated day!

Saliva works for a little while.\nJust keep a little bit of water in the mask so that you can shake your head and swoosh it around on the lens when it does fog.\nThis is what I do and it works just fine.

Don't listen to anyone who doesnt have it done personally for one. secondly bite your tongue as hard as you can (i mean really make it hurt) and piercing you tongue by a professional hurts less(i have 14 piercings total). third the swelling cant be based on anyone else but you some people it doesn't swell at all ive heard personally min swoll for 4days then i could eat. fourth point of intrest, cleaning, yes listerine or any mouth wash of any flavor or your piercist might suggest this stuff called h2ocean. no lisp you can talk, sing, yell, scream anything the same way you did before. check out the app website for more info and the name of a registered app piercist

If you are asking what your words exactly are, then speaking in terms of an analytical chemist, you would be able to take only 3 aliquotes of exact 25 mL. After that, there is no doubt that 25 mL liquid is still in flask - there is no way by which you can squeez out the remaining 25 mL COMPLETELY from the flask. This is due to that a small amount , may be 1/2 an mL, would still be sticking to the walls of the flask. \nDont believe in me? Try it yourself !!!

Because you have to know which is the top and which is the bottom layer. \n\nFor example, if you're using diethyl ether to extract something from water, the density of water is 1.00g/mL and of ether 0.71g/mL. So if you shake up a mixture of water and ether, the water will settle to the bottom and the ether will collect on top. You open a stopcock ("faucet") on the bottom of your vessel and let the water drain out and stop before the ether goes. \n\nIf you're using chloroform to extract from waster, the density of chloroform, is 1.48. So after shaking, it's the chloroform that winds up on the bottom.\n\nThe other solvent should not be too close to 1.00g/mL, because you'll get a liquid mush that doesn't separate into layers.
