Attorney Michael Werner of Parker Waichman discusses how one prescription drug is being deemed useless.

In an effort to stop recurring heart attacks and strokes, Plavix was once billed as a great companion to aspirin. However, recent studies have shown that the drug has had no positive effects on patients who use it. And in fact, those who do take the drug are at a much higher risk for bleeding episodes. This is a very important issue for people considering or already taking Plavix and aspirin. Watch this video now to learn more.

Videoconsejo sanitario sobre clopidogrel, para qué sirve este medicamento, cuándo y cómo debemos administrarlo. Videoconsejo impartido por la farmacéutica Elena Vega, elaborado por el Consejo General de Colegios Farmacéuticos y producido por Medicina TV.

El clopidogrel es un antiagregante plaquetario, es decir, reduce la agregación entre las plaquetas, unos elementos de nuestra sangre cuya función es formar coágulos. Por tanto, el clopidogrel hace que la sangre tenga una menor tendencia a formar coágulos, principalmente en los vasos sanguíneos, en las arterias, un proceso conocido como aterotrombosis, y que puede provocar efectos aterotrombóticos, como infarto cerebral, infarto de miocardio o muerte.

Así pues, este medicamento se va a emplear en adultos para la prevención secundaria de enfermedades debidas a trombos, como la angina de pecho, el infarto de miocardio o el ictus de tipo no hemorrágico.

La dosis diaria habitual es 75 mg, administrado sin alimentos y a la misma hora cada día. Si has sufrido dolor torácico grave (ya sea por una angina de pecho o por un infarto), has experimentado síntomas de un ictus que desaparecen en un corto período de tiempo o un has padecido un ictus isquémico de gravedad leve, tu médico puede prescribirte una dosis mayor de clopidogrel que puede ser desde 300 mg a 600 mg con el fin de que lo tomes una única vez al inicio del tratamiento.

En el mercado, clopidogrel solo se encuentra en forma de comprimidos, los cuales deben tragarse enteros con suficiente cantidad de agua y sin masticar.

Debido a la capacidad del fármaco para favorecer la aparición de hemorragias, no debes usarlo en caso de que tengas alteraciones de la coagulación o enfermedades que pudieran dar lugar a hemorragias internas, como por ejemplo la úlcera gastroduodenal.

En cuanto a las interacciones, el clopidogrel puede potenciar el efecto del ácido acetilsalicílico. No obstante, esta combinación se emplea con frecuencia, aunque requiere de un control por parte del médico. Por tanto, respeta la pauta establecida por el médico y no suspendas ninguno de los fármacos sin su recomendación.

Los efectos adversos más frecuentes en el tratamiento con clopidogrel son la aparición de hemorragias en el estómago o intestino, las magulladuras, los hematomas o la hemorragia nasal, entre otras.

Si te cortas o te haces una herida es posible que la hemorragia tarde un poco más de lo normal en detenerse. Esto está relacionado con el mecanismo de acción del medicamento, ya que como hemos comentado anteriormente, previene la capacidad de la sangre para formar coágulos.

Para cortes o heridas de poca importancia, como por ejemplo cuando te cortas durante el afeitado, esto normalmente no tiene importancia. Sin embargo, si estás preocupado por tu hemorragia, debes consultar con tu médico inmediatamente.

Y recuerda, pregunta siempre a tu farmacéutico de confianza. Te informaremos sobre cómo debes tomar clopidogrel y sobre cualquier otra duda que tengas.

Hydroxychloroquine Side Effects: What I Experienced

When we are first diagnosed with lupus or other autoimmune diseases one of the most frequent drugs they administer is hydroxycholorquine other wise known as plaquenil, HCQ and hydroxy.

First video about plaquenil and hydroxychloroquine:

https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601240.html

Hydroxychloroquine sulfate is used to prevent and treat acute attacks of malaria. It is also used to treat discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE; a chronic inflammatory condition of the skin) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE; a chronic inflammatory condition of the body) and rheumatoid arthritis in patients whose symptoms have not improved with other treatments. Hydroxychloroquine is in a class of drugs called antimalarials. It works by killing the organisms that cause malaria. Hydroxychloroquine may work to treat rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus by decreasing the activity of the immune system.

Hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil) is an old antimalarial agent that has immunomodulatory effects widely used in SLE, in which it decreases mortality and the likelihood of developing lupus nephritis, a very common complication of SLE. It works by inhibiting the processing effects of peptide antigens and their assembly into major histocompatibility complex by antigen presenting cells.

Hydroxychloroquine is an anti malaria and autoimmune prescription drug that has shown effectiveness against viral infections. That versatility placed hydroxychloroquine at the forefront of testing for potential COVID-19 treatments. Studies done in a lab have shown the prescription drug can have a fighting chance against coronaviruses, but these results do not necessarily mean the drug is safe or effective on COVID-19 patients. Still, large observational studies began after the FDA allowed emergency use of hydroxychloroquine on COVID-19 patients. So what have they found?.

Hydroxychloroquine And What It Does To Your Body

Dr Andrew Jordan explains what Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquin) is. It is used frequently in Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. It is taken daily. It takes two to three months for full effect. It is a long term medication and it is used to modulate the immune system. Infection risk is minimal. It is regarded one of the safer medications in rheumatology. Side effects can be headache, abdominal upset or a skin rash. Long term, Plaquenil can cause issues with the eyes but this occurs only with long term use (over 10 years). This is also rare but your rheumatologist may send you for eye checks. Overall, it is a very useful medication especially in Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis.

As always, please speak to your treating doctor if you have any questions about management or medications you take.

💡Video Key Takeaways
✔️ Hydroxychloroquine controls autoimmune inflammation and reduces cardiovascular risks without broadly suppressing the immune system.
✔️ It lowers cholesterol and blood sugar, reducing cardiovascular risk in autoimmune conditions while also improving long-term heart health.
✔️ Safe for pregnancy, it effectively manages lupus with fewer risks compared to alternatives like prednisone.
✔️ It requires 3-6 months to show benefits, and effects linger after stopping, requiring patience and commitment.
✔️ Common side effects include stomach upset and photosensitivity; long-term use may cause retinal issues, requiring regular eye exams.

Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) are antimalarial drugs that help with symptoms of autoimmune disease. Unfortunately, LONG TERM use of these medications can cause retinal toxicity and can lead to permanent vision loss. In this video, I review the testing used to screen for plaquenil retinopathy during an eye exam.

NOTE: The risk of of Plaquenil Toxicity is higher when the cumulative dose is over 1000g not mg.

About this video: Do you take a malaria drug such as chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine? These drugs were originally designed to fight malaria but are not often prescribed to help with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and sjogrens disease. Unfortunately, these medications can also have a toxic effect on the body. In this video, Joseph J. Allen OD FAAO from Doctor Eye Health reviews plaquenil side effects and the testing used during a plaquenil eye exam with either your optometrist or ophthalmologist.

Many have been asking if weight has effects on their emergency contraceptives. Though the verdict is still out in some cases there is much data suggesting that increased weight may affect the medication.
