Microbiology Q&A CLINICAL ANTIBIOTICS Meropenem Vaborbactam Side Effects 4 Views • 5 months ago

Meropenem+vaborbactam
Meropenem+vaborbactam is a powerful antibiotic combining meropenem, a carbapenem, with vaborbactam, a novel non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor. It is used to treat infections caused by certain strains of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [2]. Vaborbactam protects meropenem from degradation by targeting and inactivating certain serine β-lactamases (Ambler class B).
This medication is considered a Reserve antibiotic, meaning it is reserved for specific situations as a last resort due to the risk of emerging resistance. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends reserving this antibiotic for targeted treatment of severe infections caused by laboratory-confirmed Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales. It could also be considered for severe complicated urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, and hospital-acquired pneumonia when other options are unsuitable. Empiric use, where the specific pathogen is unknown, is only recommended in very select cases of seriously ill patients, such as those with sepsis or septic shock, where a multidrug-resistant pathogen is suspected.
Meropenem+vaborbactam exhibits activity against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram-positive aerobic bacteria, Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, and anaerobic bacteria. Importantly, vaborbactam boosts meropenem's effectiveness against many multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria by inhibiting ESBLs, AmpC beta-lactamases, and Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases. However, it is crucial to understand that it is not effective against bacteria producing metallo-beta-lactamases (NDM, VIM, IMP) or Ambler class D carbapenemases like OXA-48.
The standard adult dosage is 4g (2g meropenem + 2g vaborbactam) administered intravenously every 8 hours. Importantly, this medication is currently not licensed for use in children or neonates.
While generally well-tolerated, with side effects similar to meropenem alone, meropenem+vaborbactam is notably less harmful to the kidneys compared to other antibiotics used for similar infections.

MEMANTINA NO TRATAMENTO DA DOENÇA DE ALZHEIMER Side Effects 5 Views • 5 months ago

MEMANTINA NO TRATAMENTO DA DOENÇA DE ALZHEIMER

CURSO CUIDANDO DA MEMÓRIA – APRENDA AS ESTRATÉGIAS PARA CUIDAR MELHOR DO SEU FAMILIAR QUE TEM A DOENÇA DE ALZHEIMER
https://cuidandodamemoria.com.....br/estrategiascompor

A Memantina é um dos medicamentos utilizados no manejo da doença, e é fundamental que vocês, familiares e cuidadores, compreendam como ela age, para quem é indicada e o que esperar do tratamento.

Para entender como a Memantina funciona, precisamos falar um pouco sobre o que acontece no cérebro de uma pessoa com Alzheimer. Nosso cérebro se comunica através de impulsos elétricos e substâncias químicas chamadas neurotransmissores. Um desses neurotransmissores é o glutamato. O glutamato é essencial para o aprendizado e a memória, ele ajuda as células cerebrais, ou neurônios, a se comunicar e a formar novas memórias.

O problema é que, na Doença de Alzheimer, há um desequilíbrio nesse sistema. Existem níveis excessivos de glutamato que ficam constantemente "ativos", sobrecarregando os neurônios. Pensem nisso como um "ruído" excessivo ou uma "superestimulação" constante. Essa superestimulação, a longo prazo, pode danificar e até matar os neurônios.

É aí que a Memantina entra em ação. Ela funciona como um "protetor" dos neurônios. A Memantina se liga a um tipo específico de receptor, chamado receptor NMDA, onde o glutamato atua. Ao fazer isso, ela modula a atividade do glutamato. Ela não bloqueia completamente o glutamato, o que seria prejudicial, mas sim impede que o glutamato em excesso cause danos. É como se ela desligasse o "volume" do ruído excessivo, permitindo que os sinais importantes (aqueles necessários para a memória e o aprendizado) ainda passem, mas protegendo os neurônios do estresse constante.

Ao reduzir essa superestimulação, a Memantina ajuda a preservar a função dos neurônios por mais tempo, o que pode resultar em uma melhora ou estabilização dos sintomas cognitivos e comportamentais, como a memória, a atenção, o raciocínio e até a redução de agitação.

A Memantina é geralmente indicada para pacientes que estão em estágios moderados a graves da Doença de Alzheimer.

Drug Cards Daily | Episode #58: memantine (Namenda) ...AGAIN?! | Dementia Associated to Alzheimer’s Disease

Well it was bound to happen eventually. After recording & editing episode 58 it was brought to my attention that memantine was already covered back in episode 19! I guess here is the new version? Sorry everybody.

EPISODE #19 Summary: Memantine is a NMDA antagonist that goes by the brand name Namenda. There are also titration packs available in the name brand. Memantine treats but does not cure confusion and dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease. There are multiple dosage forms being a capsule, solution, and tablet. Special considerations are for patients with renal and hepatic impairment. Memantine does appear to have higher exposure in women than men. Memantine is proposed to work on the glutamate receptor blocking the receptor much like magnesium does under “normal” conditions. This drug has a long elimination half-life between 60-80 hours. The main side effects are weight gain, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea and vomiting. A serious side effect is Stevens Johnson Syndrome. Two main types of drugs that interact with Namenda are alkalinizing agents and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. The drug can be taken with or without food and if a dose is missed it should not be doubled on the next dose. The missed dose should be skipped and resumed regularly.

What Is Memantine? - Pain Medicine Network Side Effects 1 Views • 5 months ago

What Is Memantine? In this informative video, we will discuss memantine, a medication primarily known for its role in treating moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. We'll explain how memantine interacts with specific receptors in the brain and its mechanism of action in reducing neuronal excitability. While its primary use is in Alzheimer's management, memantine may also have potential applications in pain management, particularly for those experiencing neuropathic pain.

We'll cover how memantine may help prevent the overactivation of NMDA receptors, which play a key role in transmitting pain signals. Additionally, we will highlight the importance of personalized treatment plans, as well as the need for healthcare professionals to guide patients in their medication journey.

Furthermore, we will discuss common side effects associated with memantine and the precautions that should be taken, especially for individuals with renal impairment. This video aims to provide clarity on the uses of memantine in both Alzheimer's disease and pain management, ensuring that viewers have access to essential information regarding this medication.

WHAT IS DONEPEZIL?

Donepezil is a medicine that helps with some types of dementia.

It does not cure dementia. However, it treats some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease or dementia with Lewy bodies.

It can also help with "mixed dementia". This is when you have more than one type of dementia.

Donepezil is available on prescription only.

It comes as tablets, including tablets that melt in your mouth, and as a liquid that you drink.

KEY FACTS ABOUT DONEPEZIL

1. Donepezil can help with symptoms like being forgetful or confused.
2. The most common side effects of donepezil are diarrhoea, headache and feeling sick (nausea).
3. You can take it with or without food.
4. Drinking alcohol stops donepezil from working as well as it should. It also increases the risk of side effects.

The main side effects are weight gain, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea and vomiting. A serious side effect is Stevens Johnson Syndrome. Two main types of drugs that interact with Namenda are alkalinizing agents and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
