Route of administration will be due to many factors:\n1.efficacy- meaning how quickly or efficiently the drug works.\n2.type- inhaled vs. subcutaneously vs. sublingual vs. intravenous vs. intramuscular.\n3. molecular size- large vs. small. (inhaled would be a small molecule and IM a large molecule size.)\n4.purpose- fast administration for life-saving, or slow administration for types of treatment.\nPharmacology has specific functions listed, and we Medical professionals must be aware in order to treat properly.

I have had many, many procedures on my teeth and I wouldn't do it any other way. I'd take that over novacaine or laughing gas any day. When they use an IV it's a sedation and it's very light so you snap out of it very quickly as compared to true anesthesia. I say enjoy every minute of it...it's like going on a vacation and being totally relaxed and next thing you know it's all done and you're home.

That woman is right. It's a hypothetical barrier. The cells surrounding the brain are very good at exporting substances from the within. This makes them very critical and as such few substances pass with the exception of many illegal and legal opioids. Lipohpilic drugs pass readily into the blood brain barrier. Alcohol also passes but just because you drink alcohol with a drug does not mean it will pass. It matters where and how the drug is metabolised. And thats beside the point alcohol and drugs are strictly prohibited. To do so would be to set your set up for a lacquered wooden box.

I think you need to contact your rx company. It is a very serious matter. Imagine if you didn't examine and just swallowed it. It could be dangerous for your health. And what if there are many other bottles which have 'mistakes' in them? The sooner you contact them, you are saving more lives. Anyway, let's hope that your bottle was the only one mistake, and the pill contained the same ingredient.

Its not at all hazardous if taken in as diluded form as it is found in our stomch noramlly.\n\nIn abnoraml situation the acid in the stomch becomes of higher concentration, which we call as "acidity".

It is dangerous in that it would damage the nasal/sinus cavities. Also, most probably your friend is NOT getting a larger dose as the pills that he is snorting are at most only 10% active drug, by weight, which means that 90% of inactive material is coating his nasal/sinus cavities. It would be a near-impossibility to recieve all 10% active material in a pill this way, which as you said, since he is not exceeding prescribed amounts, might only allow for a quicker onset of action, yet nothing that would be worth the damage to the cavities incurred. Due to this 10% active material to 90% inactive material ratio, your friend is really just cruding up his nose. He will receive a more consistent and readily absorbed amount of his prescription taking it orally as it is intended. Also, the other responses seemed to be in response to your friend hurting himself by taking too much, which you clearly stated he was not doing. It is highly probable that your friends prescribing doctor took the effects of Adderall (amphetamines, as you probably know) on the cardiovascular system into account when prescribing them.

There are a number of anti-anxiety medications that you can try. Often people have to try more than one to get to the one that works best. Examples are Ativan, Xanax, Buspar, etc. Ask your doctor!!!

Sometimes.\n\nNot all therapies we call homeopathic are the extreme dilutions that would probably be harmless when combined with allopathic medications.\n\nSome naturopathic drugs (such as St John's Wort or Gingko Biloba) can interfere with how your body handles allopathic medication.\n\nAlways tell your doctor about ALL the medications you are using, including natural medicines and over-the-counter medicines so that he/she can take into account how safe a medication prescription would be for you.

Yes there is a shortage with the manufactur of this medication. If your dr wants you on this and doesnt want to subsitute it until coreg is avalable again you can have your pharmacy drop ship it or call your dr and have the change your dose to fit your needs.

When my father died, my mother had the same question.  There is too much liability involved, so this is not feasible.  BUT, my mom has volunteered at her local senior center for years, and she took the medications in there.  She asked around and found a few folks who used some of the same meds, so a few were used.  The seniors felt comfortable taking the meds because they knew my mother personally.

The first thing they try is giving pseudoephedrine 120 mg orally. If this doesn't work, then the therapy at this stage is to aspirate blood from the corpus cavernosum under local anaesthetic. If this is still insufficient, then aspiration is conducted with injections of adrenaline as an adjuvant. \n\nIf this fails, surgery is performed to insert shunts.

Atropine effect the muscles in the eye that are responsible for contarcting and dilating the iris. When atropine is administered these muscles are temporarily paralysed and dilate. This dilation causes the the flow of liquid (aqueous humor) to be restricted thus raising the pressure within the eyeball.\nOne of the main symptoms of Glaucoma (specifically acute angle closure glaucoma) is an increase in pressure with the eye ball that causes pain and damage to the optic nerve and requires emergency treatment. Therefore any drug that will cause an increase in the pressure within the eye ball will not be administered to patients with acute angle closure glaucoma.

It is a possibility that you are having a reaction to the anesthesia used. I would talk to the doc involved and see if the same drug was used in the first four IVF's. There are also some folks who are just very sensitive to anesthesia. I would strongly recommend thinking very hard about doing another procedure.

If you are asking if a person can receive both at the same time, yes. My dad is taking both treatments right now. I can't say for sure that he takes both in the same day, though. His is for lung cancer.
