How Does Hydromorphone Work? - First Response Medicine Side Effects 3 Views • 5 months ago

How Does Hydromorphone Work? In this informative video, we will discuss hydromorphone, a powerful medication used for severe pain relief. We will cover how this opioid analgesic interacts with the central nervous system to alter pain perception and response. You’ll learn about its primary action on mu-opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which play a key role in managing pain. We will also touch on the potential side effects associated with hydromorphone, including its effects on respiratory function and the cough reflex, which are particularly important in emergency and critical care settings.

Additionally, we will explain the potency of hydromorphone compared to morphine, its common effects, and how it is administered in critical situations for effective pain control. Understanding the importance of proper dosing and monitoring is essential for healthcare providers to ensure patient safety. If you or a loved one are considering hydromorphone for pain management, it’s vital to consult with a healthcare professional for tailored medical advice.

Hydromorphone Pharmacology
Hydromorphone Pharmacology Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

On this episode, I discuss hydromorphone pharmacology, adverse effect, and drug interactions.






I discuss the pharmacokinetics of hydromorphone and also discuss the relative potency compared to other opioids.






Hydromorphone drug interactions are mostly additive effects. Drugs that cause sedation or constipation can have additive effects on hydromorphone.






Be extremely careful with hydromorphone dosage forms. There are numerous different concentrations and strengths. I discuss this in this episode.

The Easiest Way To Convert Between Oxycodone And Dilaudid
The Easiest Way To Convert Between Oxycodone And Dilaudid Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

This chart for opioid dose conversions (thank you GrepMed) is extremely helpful - but it can still often be clunky to use when you are making multiple dosing conversions. In this video I show a simpler way to quickly convert between oxycodone and dilaudid. Keep in mind that not all institutions agree on these opioid equivalency charts and so it may vary a little based on your institution. Hopefully this simple little trick helps when you need to make that quick conversion to figure out how much relative oxycodone you're giving someone when you've ordered that 0.5mg dose of IV dilaudid!

Hydromorphone: A User's Story (w/ Colin Ross)
Hydromorphone: A User's Story (w/ Colin Ross) Side Effects 1 Views • 5 months ago

Heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil are all deadly drugs when the dose exceeds your body’s ability to metabolize them.

Anyone who uses these opioids knows the risks and they point out that won’t stop them from using. The need for the drug overrides caution. Withdrawal is painful and extremely hard to achieve if you are living on the streets, scrounging for food and trying to scrape together the 25 to 35 dollars a day you need to support your habit.

In BC, hydromorphone is available to a limited number of chronic heroin users. The SALOME and NAOMI trials provided evidence that treatment is effective in stabilizing users.

The BC Centre for Substance Use recently issued guidelines that are a continuum of care that include counselling, detox, withdrawal management services and the administration of injectable and oral treatment through medication.

Colin Ross is fortunate. He has been an addict for about 20 years. Now he’s receiving hydromorphone two times a day – a treatment he says allows him to stabilize and consider the future. We sat down with Colin for a Conversation That Matters about the opioid crisis, the hydromorphone IV treatment program, mental health, housing and the potential he hopes to realize.

Hey guys! This weeks video is about topical steroids, how to use them safely and properly. Topical steroids are used in addition to emollients (moisturisers) and are applied directly to the skin to reduce inflammation and irritation in various skin conditions such as eczema.

WHAT ARE TOPICAL STEROIDS:
Topical steroids work by reducing inflammation in the skin. They are used for various skin conditions including eczema. (Steroid medicines that reduce inflammation are sometimes called corticosteroids. They are very different to the anabolic steroids which are used by some bodybuilders and athletes.)

There are many types and brands of topical steroid. However, they are generally grouped into four categories depending on their strength - mild, moderately potent, potent and very potent. There are various brands and types in each category. For example, hydrocortisone cream 1% is a commonly used steroid cream and is classed as a mild topical steroid. The greater the strength (potency), the more effect it has on reducing inflammation but the greater the risk of side-effects with continued use.

Creams are usually best to treat moist or weeping areas of skin. Ointments are usually best to treat areas of skin which are dry or thickened. Lotions may be useful to treat hairy areas such as the scalp.

HOW TO APPLY TOPICAL STEROIDS:
Always follow your healthcare professionals instructions on how much to apply and how often.

Most people only need to use the medication once or twice a day for a week or two, although occasionally your doctor may suggest using it less frequently over a longer period of time.

The medication should only be applied to affected areas of skin. Gently smooth it into your skin in the direction the hair grows.

If you're using both topical corticosteroids and emollients, you should apply the emollient first. Then wait about 15 minutes before applying the topical corticosteroid.

FINGER TIP UNITS:
The amount of topical steroid that you should apply is commonly measured by fingertip units (FTUs). One FTU is the amount of topical steroid that is squeezed out from a standard tube along an adult's fingertip. (This assumes the tube has a standard 5 mm nozzle.) A fingertip is from the very end of the finger to the first crease in the finger.

One FTU is enough to treat an area of skin twice the size of the flat of an adult's hand with the fingers together.

Two FTUs are about the same as 1 g of topical steroid. For example, say you treat an area of skin the size of eight adult hands. You will need four FTUs for each dose. (This is 2 g per dose. If the dose is once a day, then a 30 g tube should last for about 15 days of treatment.)

Please visit the following links for more information on topical steroids and the FTUs for different parts of the body:
https://patient.info/health/at....opic-eczema/topical-
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/....topical-steroids/#ho

SIDE EFFECTS:
Short courses of topical steroids (fewer than four weeks) are usually safe and usually cause no problems. Problems may develop if topical steroids are used for long periods, or if short courses of stronger steroids are repeated often. The main concern is if strong steroids are used on a long-term basis. Side-effects from mild topical steroids are uncommon.

Side-effects from topical steroids can either be local or systemic. Local means just affecting that bit of skin and systemic means affecting the whole person.

Please visit the links above for more information on topical steroids.

In this video, I discuss what to do and consider after receiving a cortisone injection.

Cortisone is a strong anti-inflammatory medicine used to treat a variety of conditions in Sports Medicine. It is one of our most popular injection options. It is used to treat osteoarthritis, tendinitis, tennis elbow, and more.

One of the most important things to be aware of is what to do AFTER the injection. In this video I break down my post-cortisone injection protocol for patients.

The Dangers AND Benefits of Steroid Creams | Dr Davin Lim
The Dangers AND Benefits of Steroid Creams | Dr Davin Lim Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

What are corticosteroid creams?
Corticosteroid creams or CS are the mainstay of treatment. They are safe, provided you follow the instructions given to you by your dermatologist. There are different types of steroids based upon their concentration, potency & vehicle.

CS suppresses skin inflammation & this reduces the amount of damage to your pigment cells. One of the side effects of corticosteroids is excess hair production or hypertrichosis. This is a wanted outcome as pigment is derived from the cells that hide within the hair follicles.
.
.
Are steroids safe?
Yes, however you will need to adhere to the directions. I choose an appropriate steroid preparation based upon the site of vitiligo. For acral patches, the concentration of corticosteroids is higher compared to facial vitiligo.

Side effects of steroid ointments & creams include- thinning of skin, acne eruptions, perioral dermatitis, bruising & systemic absorption. These side effects can be mitigated by following the instructions on the prescription.
.
.
Corticosteroids reduce inflammation & can promote hair growth as a side effect (hypertrichosis). This increased hair growth can add more pigment cells in patches of vitiligo. Coupled with pigment stimulation light, re-pigmentation can be accelerated.

Q&A Hydrocortisone side effects and how to improve adrenal function
Q&A Hydrocortisone side effects and how to improve adrenal function Side Effects 1 Views • 5 months ago

Q&A Hydrocortisone side effects and how to improve adrenal function http://drchristian.com/blog

Dr. Alan Christianson here. This is going to be a very tactical podcast about improving your cortisol metabolism. In my new book, THE ADRENAL RESET DIET, I call this being “crashed.” I talk about different levels of adrenal distress, and “crashed” is the lowest level. At this level, people can be horribly fatigued, depressed, have aches and pains and just not be functioning well. It can also badly affect sleep, weaken the immune system and probably create a long-term risk. It’s a big deal and very important to correct.

My patient’s previous doctors felt it would be helpful for her cortisol to be higher, so they gave her hydrocortisone pills. Ironically, taking cortisol was not a path back to health. Hydrocortisone is very similar to the cortisol your body makes, so it increased her cortisol levels. The problem was she put on 20 pounds in the first few weeks. This had never happened to her. Her weight had fluctuated no more than four pounds all of her adult life. She was in her mid-40's, and her weight had remained the same since high school–until she took the hydrocortisone. Besides the weight gain, she had severe acne, fluid retention, thinning hair and severe anxiety.
So, why didn't it help to take the cortisol? Well, here is what is going on: When you have an adrenal disease, the adrenal glands cannot do what the body wants them to do. The biggest adrenal disease is Addison's disease, which is an autoimmunity of the adrenals. The immune system attacks the adrenals and breaks them down to where they cannot produce enough hormone for your needs. There is a signal from the pituitary gland to the adrenals, telling them to make hormones. This signal is a hormone the pituitary gland releases called ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone. In cases of Addison's disease, there is no cortisol being made, and there is a very high level of ACTH. So, your brain is yelling at your adrenals to work, and they are not working.
When you have adrenal dysfunction, like my patient had, it is a different story. I address adrenal dysfunction in my new book, where I cover the levels of adrenal distress: crashed, wired or tired, or stressed. If we look at the ACTH level, it will not be elevated. There is low cortisol, but the body wants low cortisol. In my patient’s case, her system did not really want the cortisol from her own body. She was capable of making it, and she did make it at certain times, but her body did not want it because it was really run-down and exhausted. So, it took rest, relaxation, rejuvenation and restoring her cycles and daily rhythms for her body to want to make cortisol again. Pouring cortisol into her body (through the pills) was fighting against what the body was trying to achieve. That is why she had so many, troubling side effects.

If you are crashed, take a look at the chapter on crashed in the new book and think about botanical medicines. Think about timing of light. Think a lot about rest and all the factors that give rise to it. Your blood sugar is a critical one, too. So, manage all the factors that raise your resiliency, and know you can do better and your cortisol production can come back again. If you take cortisol, you are not giving your body what it wants. You are giving your body what it is trying to avoid. You will also make it harder for your body to make more cortisol because you will pull away from your adrenals that much further.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

"Overdose deaths involving prescription opioids have quadrupled since 1999, and so have sales of these prescription drugs.

From 1999 to 2014, more than 165,000 people have died in the U.S. from overdoses related to prescription opioids. Opioid prescribing continues to fuel the epidemic.

Today, at least half of all U.S. opioid overdose deaths involve a prescription opioid. In 2014, more than 14,000 people died from overdoses involving prescription opioids."

We Are Different
Have you tried chiropractic but had poor results or maybe no results? This is where the Gonstead Technique is the difference that changes lives. The most common comment after the initial exam and consultation is "I have never had such a thorough exam!". We don't mess around with your health and everything we do is uniqueto you and your history. Your health is NOT just another case to us. We examine your history and study films taken of your spine to decide the course of action (unique to you) needed to get you out of pain quickly. We take the time to measure the nerve compression with a scope and manually palpate the spineous process to reveal tenderness or swelling in the spinal joints. We adjust the spine accurately and precisely to move the joint and decompress the nerve allowing healing to begin within your body. We educate you how to change your lifestyle so that you can continue on the path of living well and being well.

Chiropractic is Safe, Effective and Economical
At Hackbart Chiropractic we are driven to provide THE BEST chiropractic care by utilizing the Gonstead Technique. Precise and effective adjusting eliminates nerve pressure on the spinal cord. Nerves that affect posture, muscles, back, neck, limbs....as well as, breathing, digestion and immunity. We have patient testimonials ranging from help with back/neck pain, shoulder/hip problems, carpal tunnel and bunions to relief from allergies, fibromyalgia, ear infections, ulcers, headaches and even fertility issues. The nervous system is an amazing machine and it's source of information is wrapped up within the spinal cord which runs along your spinal column. We are hard on our bodies and sometimes something as small as a sneeze can throw your spine out of joint or flare up an old injury that has gone unnoticed until pressure on the nerve sends a shooting pain down the arm. Small things can trigger nerve interference in a way that can effect every day life as every organ, muscle and nerve originates within the spinal cord.

We focus on health through a well functioning nervous system by aligning your spine properly and helping it stay in alignment if you so choose through maintenance care. Relieving pressure on nerves can produce amazing results in many people leading to living well and being well. When your body is functioning properly you get sick less, have fewer injuries, decreased use of medication and possible surgeries and as a result many of our patients have experienced fewer medical bills and expenses. Chiropractic is not just about back pain....it's about total well-being and finding hope, healing and health in the bodies own God-given power to heal.

Stop in and find out more! We are willing to discuss any of your concerns or issues you may have concerning chiropractic and your journey to health.
