Increasing Knowledge – Building Hope.
Edward Weber, M.D. Medical Oncologist, Prostate Cancer Results Study Group.

Men with prostate cancer are much more likely to die of cardiac disease and not from prostate cancer, unless the diagnosis is made at a very late stage. For that reason, a man’s cardiac history, his cardiovascular risk factors, and the choice of which drug to use for ADT are very critical issues.

Androgen deprivation therapy, ADT, the mainstay of treatment for years, is associated with a 10-20% increased risk of cardiac complications, such as a heart attack, stroke, or sudden death. If a man has already had two important cardiac events before starting ADT the risk of another cardiac event is greatly increased. Surprisingly these serious problems can occur within the first 6 – 12 months.
Degarelix (Firmagon), the newer drug for ADT, is less toxic to the heart than leuprolide (Lupron), and, for many clinicians, is becoming the preferred agent for hormone therapy.

Every man before starting ADT needs to have a thorough evaluation for cardiac risk factors. This exam should focus on past history of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, and the life-style factors diet and exercise habits.
In some men this pre-ADT evaluation will lead to choosing Firmagon over Lupron, or receiving the shortest period of drug exposure as possible, or beginning a program for modification of cardiac risk factors — or possibly avoiding the use of these drugs entirely.

We will explain how this medication functions and its importance in managing hormone levels in the body.

Understanding the various treatment options available is essential for anyone navigating a cancer diagnosis. We will break down how Zoladex fits into the larger picture of cancer therapies and why it is not categorized as chemotherapy. Instead, we will highlight its unique role as a hormone therapy that helps control the growth of certain tumors by targeting hormone levels rather than directly attacking cancer cells.

Ondansetron Injection: Uses, Dosage, Mechanism, Side Effects & Important Advice | MediInsights
Ondansetron Injection: Uses, Dosage, Mechanism, Side Effects & Important Advice | MediInsights Side Effects 6 Views • 5 months ago

Welcome to MediInsights, where we are committed to "Unlocking The Wonders of Wellness." In today's video, we will explore Ondansetron Injection, a vital medication widely used in the medical field. Let's delve into its uses, dosage, mechanism of action, side effects, and important advice for its safe use.

What is Ondansetron Injection?

Ondansetron injection is a medication primarily used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical procedures. It belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists.

Uses of Ondansetron Injection:

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Ondansetron is highly effective in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Radiation Therapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: It is also used to manage nausea and vomiting associated with radiation therapy.
Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting: Ondansetron is administered before surgery to prevent nausea and vomiting that can occur postoperatively.
Dosage of Ondansetron Injection:

The dosage of ondansetron injection can vary:

For chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting: The typical adult dose is 8 mg IV over 15 minutes, given 30 minutes before chemotherapy, followed by two more doses at four-hour intervals.
For postoperative nausea and vomiting: A single dose of 4 mg IV is given before the induction of anesthesia.
Mechanism of Action:

Ondansetron works by blocking serotonin 5-HT3 receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract. Serotonin is a natural substance that can cause nausea and vomiting by binding to these receptors. By inhibiting this action, ondansetron effectively prevents these symptoms.

Side Effects of Ondansetron Injection:

While ondansetron is generally well-tolerated, it can cause side effects:

Common Side Effects: Headache, dizziness, and constipation.
Serious Side Effects: Severe allergic reactions, changes in heart rhythm (QT prolongation), and low blood pressure. Monitoring during administration is crucial to detect these adverse effects early.
Important Advice for Using Ondansetron Injection:

Follow Prescribed Dosage: Always adhere to the dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Inform Your Doctor: Disclose any allergies, especially to ondansetron or similar medications.
Drug Interactions: Notify your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking, as ondansetron can interact with drugs affecting heart rhythm.
Use During Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use ondansetron only if clearly necessary and under medical supervision.
Monitor for Side Effects: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience serious side effects.

What is Ondansetron used for?. Typical Utilizations, Benefits, Potential Side Effects, dosage Side Effects 4 Views • 5 months ago

Ondansetron is a medication that is commonly used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. It belongs to a class of drugs known as antiemetics. Ondansetron works by blocking the action of serotonin, a chemical in the body that can trigger nausea and vomiting.

The typical utilizations of ondansetron include:

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting: Ondansetron is frequently prescribed to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs can cause severe nausea and vomiting, which can be debilitating for patients. Ondansetron helps to alleviate these symptoms and allows patients to tolerate their treatment better.

Radiation-induced nausea and vomiting: Radiation therapy, used to treat cancer, can also cause nausea and vomiting. Ondansetron is often used in combination with other medications to manage these side effects and improve the quality of life for patients undergoing radiation therapy.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting: After surgery, some patients experience nausea and vomiting due to the effects of anesthesia and the stress on the body. Ondansetron is frequently administered before and after surgery to prevent these symptoms and promote a faster recovery.

The benefits of using ondansetron include:

Effective symptom control: Ondansetron is highly effective in preventing and reducing nausea and vomiting. By blocking the action of serotonin, it helps patients to feel more comfortable and allows them to continue with their treatments or recover from surgery without experiencing distressing symptoms.

Improved quality of life: Nausea and vomiting can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. By controlling these symptoms, ondansetron helps patients to maintain their appetite, prevent dehydration, and carry out their daily activities with minimal disruption.

Increased treatment adherence: For patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, the fear of experiencing nausea and vomiting can lead to anxiety and treatment non-adherence. Ondansetron provides reassurance to patients, enabling them to complete their treatments as scheduled.

While ondansetron is generally well-tolerated, there are some potential side effects to be aware of. These may include headache, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, and fatigue. In rare cases, allergic reactions or changes in heart rhythm may occur. It is essential to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with a healthcare professional.

In conclusion, ondansetron is a medication commonly used to prevent and alleviate nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. It offers significant benefits in terms of symptom control, improving quality of life, and increasing treatment adherence. However, it is crucial to be aware of potential side effects and consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate use.

Pharmacology of ondansetron (Zofran) ; Mechanism of action, Pharmacokinetics, Uses, Effects Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

Ondansetron, marketed under the brand name Zofran, is a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used primarily to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery.

Mechanism of Action
Ondansetron works by blocking the action of serotonin at the 5-HT3 receptors, which are located in the vagal nerve terminals and chemoreceptor trigger zone in the brain. By inhibiting serotonin from binding to these receptors, it helps prevent nausea and vomiting.

Indications
Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV): Used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV): Administered before anesthesia or immediately after surgery to prevent nausea and vomiting.

Radiation-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (RINV): Used to prevent nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing total body irradiation or single high-dose fraction therapy to the abdomen.

Administration
Oral: Tablets, orally disintegrating tablets (ODT), and oral solution.

Intravenous (IV): Administered as an IV infusion.

Intramuscular (IM): Administered as an IM injection.

Dosage
Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 8 mg orally before chemotherapy, followed by 8 mg every 12 hours for 1-2 days.

Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting: 4 mg IV/IM before anesthesia or 16 mg orally 1 hour before anesthesia.

Radiation-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 8 mg orally 1-2 hours before radiation therapy.

Side Effects
Common: Headache, constipation, and dizziness.

Serious: QT prolongation, which can lead to arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes.

Precautions
QT Prolongation: Patients with a history of QT prolongation or those taking other medications that prolong the QT interval should use ondansetron with caution.

Renal and Hepatic Impairment: Dosage adjustments may be necessary for patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment.

What is Zofran used for? Common uses, recommended dosage, potential side effects, user experiences Side Effects 4 Views • 5 months ago

"Zofran is a medication that is primarily used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. It belongs to a class of drugs called antiemetics, which work by blocking the action of certain chemicals in the body that trigger nausea and vomiting.

Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are commonly used treatments for cancer, but they can often cause severe nausea and vomiting as side effects. This can greatly impact a patient's quality of life and may even lead to treatment delays or discontinuation if not effectively managed. Zofran helps to alleviate these symptoms, allowing patients to better tolerate their cancer treatments and maintain their overall health and well-being.

In addition to its use in cancer patients, Zofran may also be prescribed to prevent nausea and vomiting in other situations. For example, it may be given to patients undergoing surgery, particularly abdominal or gynecological procedures, where post-operative nausea and vomiting are common. Zofran may also be used in cases of severe morning sickness during pregnancy, when other treatments have not been effective.

The active ingredient in Zofran is ondansetron, which works by blocking the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of nausea and vomiting. By inhibiting the effects of serotonin, Zofran helps to reduce the sensation of nausea and suppress the urge to vomit.

It's important to note that Zofran should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional and as prescribed. Like any medication, it may have potential side effects and interactions with other drugs. Therefore, it is crucial to discuss any concerns or questions with a healthcare provider before starting or discontinuing the use of Zofran.

In summary, Zofran is a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and severe morning sickness during pregnancy. It works by blocking the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of nausea and vomiting."

Zofran or Ondansetron
Zofran or Ondansetron Side Effects 4 Views • 5 months ago

Zofran or Ondansetron treats nausea and vomiting. Originally it was introduced to counteract the gastrointestinal distress associated with cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Zofran also prevents similar symptoms from developing during the post-operative period. Currently the medicine finds great utility as a treatment for gastroenteritis and morning sickness. Its use is considered off-label for these last two situations.

Zofran received FDA clearance in 1990 and became available as a much less expensive generic preparation in 2006. Doctors still prescribe Zofran more than 9 million times each year. The drug is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines.

Many people with nausea and vomiting are unable to swallow a pill requiring additional liquid. Zofran not only is available as a standard tablet but also as an orally disintegrating tablet. This ODT is placed on the tip of the tongue and dissolves within 20 seconds. It is swallowed with the saliva without added fluid. In appropriate medical settings Zofran may be administered as an intramuscular or intravenous injection.

Side effects tend to be relatively mild and include headache, fatigue, itchiness and constipation. Rare instances of prolongation of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias, palpitations or fainting episodes. When combined with drugs involving serotonin, Zofran may precipitate a syndrome manifest by tremor, muscle rigidity, agitation, delirium, flushing and seizures.

Several other members of the same drug family are available, however generic Zofran still retains its dominant position in the field.

What is azithromycin? .

Azithromycin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria.

Azithromycin is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria, such as respiratory infections, skin infections, ear infections, eye infections, and sexually transmitted diseases.

Azithromycin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication video.

Warnings of Azithromycin.

You should not use azithromycin if you have ever had jaundice or liver problems when you have previously taken this medicine.

Before taking this medicine.

You should not use azithromycin if you are allergic to it, or if:

you have ever had jaundice or liver problems caused by taking azithromycin; or

you are allergic to similar drugs such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, or telithromycin.

To make sure azithromycin is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:

liver disease;

kidney disease;

myasthenia gravis;

a heart rhythm disorder;

low levels of potassium in your blood; or

long QT syndrome (in you or a family member).

This medicine is not expected to harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

It is not known whether azithromycin passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take azithromycin?.

Take azithromycin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. The dose and length of treatment may not be the same for every type of infection.

You may take most forms of azithromycin with or without food.

Take Zmax extended release liquid (oral suspension) on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

To use the oral suspension single dose packet: Open the packet and pour the medicine into 2 ounces of water. Stir this mixture and drink all of it right away. Do not save for later use.

Use this medicine for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Azithromycin will not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to azithromycin: (hives, difficult breathing, swelling in your face or throat) or a severe skin reaction (fever, sore throat, burning in your eyes, skin pain, red or purple skin rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling).

Seek medical treatment if you have a serious drug reaction that can affect many parts of your body. Symptoms may include: skin rash, fever, swollen glands, flu-like symptoms, muscle aches, severe weakness, unusual bruising, or yellowing of your skin or eyes. This reaction may occur several weeks after you began using azithromycin.

Call your doctor at once if you have:

severe stomach pain, diarrhea that is watery or bloody;

fast or pounding heartbeats, fluttering in your chest, shortness of breath, and sudden dizziness (like you might pass out); or

liver problems - nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, tired feeling, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

Call your doctor right away if a baby taking azithromycin becomes irritable or vomits while eating or nursing.

Older adults may be more likely to have side effects on heart rhythm, including a life-threatening fast heart rate.

Common azithromycin side effects may include:

diarrhea;

nausea, vomiting, stomach pain; or

headache.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur.

What other drugs will affect azithromycin?.

Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any you start or stop using, especially:

digoxin; or

clarithromycin; or

a blood thinner - warfarin, Coumadin, Jantoven.

Azithromycin, also known by its brand names Zithromax and Z-Pak, is a powerful antibiotic designed to combat bacterial infections. This medication works by stopping the growth of bacteria, helping your body fight off infections like bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, and other bacterial conditions.

How to Take Azithromycin:

•Standard Dosage: The typical course is five days long. On the first day, you'll take two tablets (a total of 500 mg), often referred to as the "loading dose." This helps the medication quickly reach effective levels in your system. For the next four days, you'll take one tablet (250 mg) each day to complete your treatment.

•Taking Your Medication: You can take Azithromycin with or without food, and there are no dairy restrictions. To get the best results, take it at the same time each day and complete the entire course. Stopping early can lead to a return of the infection or antibiotic resistance.

Common Side Effects:

Azithromycin is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause some side effects. The most common ones include:

•Digestive Issues: Diarrhea (4-5%), nausea (3%), and stomach pain (2-3%).
•Allergic Reactions: Redness, rash, or swelling.
•Irregular Heartbeat: This is rare, but if you experience any irregular heartbeats, seek medical attention immediately.

What to Do if You Have an Allergic Reaction:

Allergic reactions to Azithromycin are rare, but they can happen. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop taking the medication and contact your doctor right away.

Azithromycin can be an effective treatment for bacterial infections when used correctly. Always follow your doctor's instructions, and don't forget to complete the full course of medication to ensure the infection is completely cleared. If you have any questions or concerns, consult your healthcare provider for advice.
