What is NTG paste?  I have a patient who is given 1" every 8 hours.  Side effects?  Nursing implications?

it is a nitroglycerin containing preparation.used to prevent acute attacks of angina.side effects would be same as SL nitro but less likely because of the skin absorbtion and not such a high blood level as SL.

Life long problem for me. Nexium twice a day for the rest of my life. Hope it isn't the same for you.

For most of us (and I'm a user) the side effects are minimal. A flushed condition on the face, a little nausea, temporary blurred vision. You may not even get any of those things. For me, it's only a temporary flushed face (which my girlfriend says she doesn't even notice). You hear about those four hour erections (which can be dangerous and you definitely should get to a doctor!) but they are extremely rare. There are a few guys who shouldn't take it at all, in particular those taking nitrite drugs for their heart (it can KILL THEM!!!) but for the majority of men (usually us older guys) it does what it is supposed to with few if any minor side effects. See a doctor to make sure it's okay for you. Most likely he'll give you a prescription and a free sample pack.

Why is it recurring?\n\nIs he on antibiotics?\nDoes he have poor hygeine - does he wash his hands after going to the toilet and before eating?\nDoes someone who cares for him or prepares his food have poor hygeine?\n\nYes, Vanc is the standard treatment of choice, but it's not pleasant.

These are dictated in the US by the FDA's cGMP guidlines (current Good Manufacturing Practices; not cyclic Guanine Monophosphate, as I had incorrectly thought when I first read it in a job description).\n\nThese are detailed in the following links:

yeah it's normal.  I've also seen it leave a black coating on your tounge if you don't brush it good the night before.  But do rule out a GI bleed.... if his poo is really foul smelling too go to the doc!!!

Well....as an ALLERGIST/IMMUNOLOGIST I can tell you no doc worth his/her salt and interested in helping patients MAKES a patient wait, so it's likely as you stated your delay is your elective choice due to insurance issues.  Until then, you are taking OTC meds, some of which have side effects, but not really to a young person's kidneys.  For Benadryl watch for sleep cycle disruptions (you may get easily sedated to GET to sleep but awaken feeling "hung over" due to this!), and sudafed is the opposite -- stimulation, caffeine-like side effects (also therefore NOT a great choice at bedtime!).  For OTC relief until Sept., I'd recommend a non-sedating antihistamine such as Claritin or Alavert for AM use or PM use, with an added Sudafed for congestion if necessary earlier in the day (AM or PM, but NOT bedtime!).  Nasal saline washed 4-8 times a day are wonderful, zero side effects and very cleansing of nasal mucosal tissues, which helps avoid pollens from adhering to them, thus precipitating allergic symptoms!! GOOD LUCK!!! Let me know how you're doing (and where you're at...I'll let you know if your selected Allergist is board-certified!).

This is something that you wont find on Google.  You need to look into the pharmacokinetics of the drug.  Its maximum effect is several hours in the day.

There is a very strong seditive called Halcion that your dentist will precribe for you to take one hour before a procedure, and they will also give you nitrus oxide if they have that in their dental office during the procedure (if you even need it along with the Halcion,) Halcion  has a amnesiac effect, where you won't even remember getting any work done, you have to have someone drive you to and from the appointment, trust me, if you take this pill, you won't care where you are going, at leaste that is what i have seen, my spouse also had to take this before he had some extractions done, he appeared to be in la la land with a big smile on his face, hope this will help.

Sorry to hear that!  I work in the ICU as an RN...I don't know what ur grandmother had, so it's difficult to say why...but we don't let anyone in under 6 yrs old.  They can be carring bug from school ect....we are protecting the patient.  We also don't want infants to be exposed to what any patients on the unit may have...Little kids really don't have a strong immune system and that goes for critically ill patient on the unit as well.  I encourage everyone over the age of six to visit...they may have to wear a mask over their nose and mouth so you don't spread germs...if we nurses feel ill, we wear a mask to keep the patients safe, also some patients are in isolation and if your grandmother was..it was probably (if the case) not to bring anything back to the baby and vise versa.  Pneumonia is a very dangerous illness, I wear a mask when dealing with these patient, you never know when someone is going to cough in your face and share their germs...Have your family member talk to someone at your church or to a counselor....I hope I helped, at least alittle...

No that is bad, recommend is 4 or 5 hours max.  Go to the hospital if you having trouble, otherwise you can get Toxic Shock Syndrome.

The dentist should have your medical history and give you the paper that tells you the precautions.  Nitrous oxide affects people in different ways.  I had it once and I hated it!  The whole time I was in the chair it felt like a was spinning a thousand miles an hour in that chair.  Couldn't wait til it was over with!

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

OH NO DO NOT GO THRU THIS EVER AGAIN, SPEAK UP AND MAKE SURE ALL STAFF IS AWARE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED!!!! I dont know all that they did but do u have a port? If you do did they clean it. Flush it etc. very important, believe it or not, but not all nurses are all that familiar with the proper procedure some will flush a port and do it wrong!!! I BEG U TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ASAP, We tend to just trust r nurses and drs. but really we need to be just as informed ask questions, read up on your condition and treatment, and do not accept anything but the best medical care and always SPEAK UP!! This is your life, dont be scared or shy to ask questions etc. u may seem like a pest but u will get the best care and that is all that matters.

ok can i get some more info although i will try to answer this for you without it. Has she had a bowel movement recently before the citrate? if you say no then the hard swelling could be really bad. And she needs to be seen now. If her bowels explode it will kill a person in 48 hours....... This is nothing to play with..........If you dont believe me call your local pharmacist or hospital they will confirm.......Her large intestine could be knotted and this she needs to be seen for also. Dont wait til doctors hours take her to the er. If they are twisted or knotted and she pushes too hard it will explode.....
