Hyzaar(Losartan/hydrochlorothiazide)50mg/12.5mg\n\nDOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION \nHypertension Dosing must be individualized. \nThe usual starting dose of losartan is 50 mg once daily, with 25 mg recommended for patients with intravascular volume depletion (e.g., patients treated with diuretics) and patients with a history of hepatic impairment \n\nLosartan can be administered once or twice daily at total daily doses of 25 to 100 mg. If the antihypertensive effect measured at trough using once-a-day dosing is inadequate, a twice-a-day regimen at the same total daily dose or an increase in dose may give a more satisfactory response. \n\nHydrochlorothiazide is effective in doses of 12.5 to 50 mg once daily and can be given at doses of 12.5 to 25 mg as HYZAAR. To minimize dose-independent side effects, it is usually appropriate to begin combination therapy only after a patient has failed to achieve the desired effect with monotherapy. \n\nThe side effects of losartan are generally rare and apparently independent of dose; those of hydrochlorothiazide are a mixture of dose-dependent (primarily hypokalemia) and dose-independent phenomena (e.g., pancreatitis), the former much more common than the latter.\n\nTherapy with any combination of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide will be associated with both sets of dose-independent side effects. \n\nReplacement Therapy: The combination may be substituted for the titrated components. \n\nDose Titration by Clinical Effect: A patient whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with losartan monotherapy (see above) or hydrochlorothiazide alone, may be switched to HYZAAR 50-12.5 (losartan 50 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg) once daily. If blood pressure remains uncontrolled after about 3 weeks of therapy, the dose may be increased to two tablets of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily or one tablet of HYZAAR 100-25 (losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) once daily. A patient whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with losartan 100 mg monotherapy (see above) may be switched to HYZAAR 100-12.5 once daily. If blood pressure remains uncontrolled after about 3 weeks of therapy, the dose may be increased to two tablets of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily or one tablet of HYZAAR 100-25 (losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) once daily.A patient whose blood pressure is inadequately controlled by 25 mg once daily of hydrochlorothiazide, or is controlled but who experiences hypokalemia with this regimen, may be switched to HYZAAR 50-12.5 (losartan 50 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg) once daily, reducing the dose of hydrochlorothiazide without reducing the overall expected antihypertensive response. The clinical response to HYZAAR 50-12.5 should be subsequently evaluated, and if blood pressure remains uncontrolled after about 3 weeks of therapy, the dose may be increased to two tablets of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily or one tablet of HYZAAR 100-25 (losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) once daily.The usual dose of HYZAAR is one tablet of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily. More than two tablets of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily or more than one tablet of HYZAAR 100-25 once daily is not recommended. The maximal antihypertensive effect is attained about 3 weeks after initiation of therapy.Use in Patients with Renal Impairment: The usual regimens of therapy with HYZAAR may be followed as long as the patient's creatinine clearance is >30 mL/min. In patients with more severe renal impairment, loop diuretics are preferred to thiazides, so HYZAAR is not recommended. \n\nPatients with Hepatic Impairment: HYZAAR is not recommended for titration in patients with hepatic impairment because the appropriate 25 mg starting dose of losartan cannot be given. Severe Hypertension The starting dose of HYZAAR for initial treatment of severe hypertension is one tablet of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Effects). For patients who do not respond adequately to HYZAAR 50-12.5 after

xanax is for nerves , and vicodin is for pain .If it were me (which it will be in 3 weeks! ) I'd take 2 of each 1hr BEFORE takeoff , 1 of each - midflight , and 2 of each 1 hr BEFORE landing . \n Doses for 150 lb male , 4 hr flight .\nSame doses were used @ sea level with moderate euphoria being the desired  and achieved side effect . Equal amounts of water and cranberry juice were used during and afterward to cleanse the body of excess chemicals .

If the dosage is 1ml per 10 pounds, the 100 ml vile will dose upto 1000 pounds.  Divide the weight in pounds by 10 and that will be the dose in ml.

The FDA recently required manufacturers to revise the labeling of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen (brand name Motrin), to reflect a higher risk of serious complications when they are not used according to directions. Overdosage can lead to very severe consequences, including ulcers and internal bleeding. The approved dosage is for UP TO 800 mg at a time, not to exceed 3,200 mg in 24 hours. So no, it is not safe for you to take (2) 800 mg pills at once on your own decision. You should consult with a doctor or pharmacist any time you have a question about changing your dosage of a drug.

LD 50 refers to the lethal dose of a drug in 50% of patients or test subjects, not bacteria.\n\nYou may mean to refer to the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) of the antibiotic needed to kill a particular bacterial sample. Unfortunately, this often varies considerably from location to location. This is particularly true for S. Aureus.\n\nHaven't seen strepto used clinically in years.

sure.....it depends on the dose, was he taking something else with it?  I am so sorry for your loss.\n\nhttp://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/rxdrugprofiles/drugs/klo1214.shtml\n\nthis is a good site for several drugs...

well, I'm not very knowledgeable about this, but I'm pretty sure that potasium chloride is one of the chemicals that can be used for this purpose.  I know that's what they use in some of the lethal injections because it basically gives a heart attack.  Potasium chloride is the salt substitute that you can buy in he store for people who are on a no salt diet.  I don't know what would the dosage be though, and you would have to combine it with something to tranquilize him first.\njust thought I'd say what little I know.

For most conscious sedation cases, an 18g should be plenty.\nIt could be done with a smaller catheter, but an 18g allows easier administration of blood or IV fluids if needed.\n\nIf the patient's veins can handle it, I always suggest an 18g. A good RN can start an 18g, causing no more discomfort than with a 22g.

The realistic answer is it probably won't bother you at all. Even if you were to take your effexor you would still be able to have a few beers. Yes, alcohol does amplify the effects of medications like ativan but one isn't going to kill you (as long as you don't binge drink).\nThe party line answer (what pharmacists and doctors are supposed to tell you) is that you shouldn't mix benzos (ativan) and alcohol for risk of serious side effects.\n\n--- have fun, but be careful ---

target level is below 180 but ideally below 140 (but this will carry a higher risk of hyoglycemia).\nnever make it below 80 or even 100 as hypoglycemia will be a real danger.

nonribosomal peptide of eight amino acids. It is one of the toxins found in the Amanita genus of mushrooms that makes them so deadly. It is also found in the unrelated mushroom Galerina autumnalis. The oral LD50 of amanitin is approximately 0.1 mg/kg.\n\nParticularly dangerous about this toxin are its delayed effects. It slowly attacks an RNA polymerase II in the liver. Few effects are reported within 10 hours; it is not unusual for significant effects to take as much as 24 hours after ingestion. This is far past the time when the stomach could be usefully pumped. Diarrhea and cramps are the first symptom, but those pass, leaving a false remission. Then, on the 4th to 5th day, the toxin starts to have severe effects on the liver and kidneys, leading to total system failure in both. Death usually takes place around a week from ingestion.\n\nAround 15% of those poisoned will die in around 10 days progressing through a comatose stage to renal failure, liver failure, hepatic coma, respiratory failure and death. Those who recover are unlikely to regain full health. Early diagnosis can be tricky and treatment is mainly supportive (gastric lavage, activated carbon, fluid resuscitation) but includes various drugs to counter the amatoxins, including penicillin and cephalosporin derivatives, and can extend to an orthotopic liver transplant. The most reliable method to treat amanitin poisoning is through having the stomach pumped immediately after ingestion; however, the onset of symptoms is generally too late for this to be an option

i've done 200-300mg of DXM at school before and it was difficult to "control"...i think 100-200mg should be fine though (however it differs for body weight... i weigh 100 lbs). my main issue was during class changes when the halls were extremely crowded. it kindof freaked me out and i had to have my boyfriend hold my hand really tight and walk me to all my classes to keep me from flying away. taking notes was hard too because my writing skills were shot to hell. (Robitussin is nicknamed "Robo" due to the fact it greatly decreases motor skills and some people actually walk like a "robot", so be very mindful of that while at school or in public places). Also make sure DXM HBr is the only thing listed under "Active Ingredients", because other active ingredients such as Guaifenesin and Acetaminophen can be harmful at high doses. Overall, DXM alone is relatively safe and i personally love it because its easy to get. Have fun!

xanax is brand name alprazolam. "bars" is the term for the rectangular 2 mg dosage (the highest dosage distributed in the US in original form; an extended release form of the medication is now on the market). "xanax bars" are commonly mistaken as being 20 mg. this is incorrect. Alprazolam, like lorazepam (ativan), and clonazepam (klonopin), are chemically related to diazepam (valium). all are members of the benzodiazepam family of medications, used to treat anxiety and mood disorders. diazepam is much more effective than the other benzodiazepines at treating muscle tension. in the united states, the fda has regulated the benzodiazepines as a schedule IV controlled substance. avoid large doses of alcohol while taking any sedative medication.
