Bismuth Subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) – Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Warnings
Bismuth subsalicylate, known as Pepto-Bismol, is an OTC medication used to treat nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, and diarrhea. Common side effects include blackened stools, blackened tongue, and constipation, while serious side effects, such as tinnitus, severe allergic reactions, and worsening stomach symptoms, are rare. Adults and children 12 years and older typically take 30 mL or 2 tablets every 30 minutes to 1 hour, with a maximum of 8 doses in 24 hours. Children under 12 should use it under medical supervision. It works by killing bacteria, reducing inflammation, coating the stomach, and binding to bacterial toxins. It can interact with anticoagulants, methotrexate, and tetracycline antibiotics, increasing risks or reducing effectiveness. Warnings include the risk of Reye's syndrome in children and teens recovering from viral infections, potential complications during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and caution for individuals with allergies to salicylates or existing bleeding disorders, ulcers, or stomach issues.

Drug Cards Daily | Episode #25: carisoprodol (Soma) | Short Term Benefit For Discomfort of Musculoskeletal Conditions

Carisoprodol is a skeletal muscle relaxant that is most commonly known as the brand name Soma. The lesser known brand name is Vanadom. This drug has benefits in treating discomfort experienced from acute painful skeletal muscle conditions over a 2-3 week duration of therapy. The benefits beyond a short term duration (2-3 weeks) has not been proven. There are two strengths in a tablet form being 250 mg and 350 mg. The medication is dose qid with tid in addition to at bedtime. Carisoprodol forms the metabolite meprobamate which has anxiolytic and sedative effects. Since CYP2C19 function is crucial to the metabolism to meprobamate it is important to be aware of drugs that may affect CYP2C19 function along with other factors such as race and gender. Asian and African Americans are of note since there is higher prevalence of poor CYP2C19 metabolizer function. Also females generally have a higher exposure to carisoprodol but not to the metabolized form of meprobamate. When monitoring patients it is important to be aware of signs of misuse and abuse along with assessing their mental status along with their level or relief regarding pain and muscle spasms.

1:55 The dangers of niacin
3:35 Benefits of niacin
4:25 Benefits of niacinamide
7:03 Learn more about what niacin can do for your cholesterol!

Today we’re going to cover the difference between the two forms of vitamin B3: niacin and niacinamide.

Both niacin and niacinamide chemically work similarly but have different benefits.

Niacin:
• Gives a flushing response
• Has lipid benefits
• Helps lower cholesterol
• Helps lower LDL
• Helps increase HDL
• Helps decrease inflammation in the arteries
• Supports a healthy liver
• May help with schizophrenia
• May help with drug-induced dyskinesia

Niacinamide:
• Won’t cause a flush
• Helps with certain skin conditions (acne, dermatitis, rosacea, and psoriasis)
• Helps lower histamines
• Helps reduce immune inflammatory factors
• Helps decrease flaking skin
• Helps reduce sebum
• May help reduce inflammation
• May help with arthritis
• Is used for anti-aging
• Is used for hyperpigmentation
• May help reduce anger and anxiety

Many people are discouraged from taking niacin because of potential side effects. But the dangers are rare and are typically involved in those taking very high doses over long periods and time-release niacin.

How to use Telmisartan

Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking telmisartan and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily.

The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. For the treatment of high blood pressure, it may take up to 4 weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug.

Side Effects

Dizziness or lightheadedness may occur as your body adjusts to the medication. If either of these effects lasts or gets worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.

Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: fainting, symptoms of a high potassium blood level (such as muscle weakness, slow/irregular heartbeat).

Although telmisartan may be used to prevent kidney problems or treat people who have kidney problems, it may also rarely cause serious kidney problems or make them worse. Your doctor will check your kidney function while you are taking telmisartan. Tell your doctor right away if you have any signs of kidney problems such as a change in the amount of urine.

📌Get your "Prednisone Taper Chart" today:
https://prednisonepharmacist.c....om/side-effects-solu

This video discusses the challenges of tapering off prednisone and managing withdrawal symptoms. This explains the importance of a gradual reduction in dosage to allow the body to readjust, highlighting the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in this process and covers common withdrawal symptoms, such as aches, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, and emphasizes the need for a personalized tapering strategy to prevent severe health risks.

Key Takeaways:
1. Gradual Tapering is Essential: Tapering off prednisone should be done gradually to allow the body to readjust and avoid severe withdrawal symptoms. Abrupt cessation can lead to significant health risks, including adrenal crisis.
2. Role of the HPA Axis: The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis plays a crucial role in managing the body's response to stress and needs time to recalibrate during the tapering process. This system's adjustment is vital for restoring normal cortisol production.
3. Common Withdrawal Symptoms: Individuals may experience a range of withdrawal symptoms, such as aches, fatigue, nausea, fever, sleep disturbances, and weight changes. These symptoms are part of prednisone withdrawal syndrome and vary from person to person.
4. Personalized Tapering Strategy: A personalized tapering strategy is important to manage withdrawal symptoms effectively. Download your own printable “Prednisone Taper Chart”, this would help individuals track their dosage and choose a tapering method that suits their needs.
5. Monitoring and Adjusting Dosage: It is crucial to monitor symptoms closely and adjust the dosage if withdrawal symptoms become overwhelming. Reverting to a previous dose that did not cause adverse effects can help alleviate symptoms during the tapering process.

Low-dose aspirin is antiplatelet. Platelets are blood cells that help blood clot. These are important when you have an injury. However, too much clotting in the blood can block the blood vessels in your heart to cause a heart attack and block the blood vessels in your brain to cause a stroke, this is where low-dose aspirin acting as antiplatelet comes in to play.

Remember, Although aspirin can be obtained without a script from the pharmacy, it is not something that you self-prescribe. Because, it can also cause other serious problems like gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding, and hemorrhage stroke which is bleeding in the brain. The doctor will weigh out the risk and benefit and prescribe low-dose aspirin to you on an individual case by case basis.

Before you start taking aspirin, make sure your doctor knows all medical conditions that you have, this includes any kidney, liver problems, asthma or other breathing problems, any bleeding problems like hemophilia more in the video...

How to take low-dose aspirin
Take it at the same time every day, during or straight after food to reduce stomach upset. Take it with a glass of water to wash it down. Do not stop taking it, without checking with your doctor or pharmacist.

While you are on aspirin
if you are seeing a new doctor or dentist or starting a new medication prescribed by a doctor or dentist, tell them that you are on aspirin. if you plan to have surgery that needs a general anesthetic. Aspirin needs to be stopped before surgery and restart after surgery

Aspirin Side Effects:
- dizziness, drowsiness, or tiredness (more details in video)
- stomach upset like nausea (feeling sick), vomiting, heartburn, indigestion. 
- more in the video...

What about enteric-coated aspirin? Do they reduce gastro bleeding risk? (answers in video)

Now if the following happens to you,
Stop aspirin and go to the emergency department of the hospital. Note these side effects are really rare so don't get overwhelmed by it, just know it, so if you really experience it, you know what to do.

- Vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds
- Bleeding from your back passage where you have sticky motions or bloody diarrhea
- Anaphylactic allergic reaction
- Asthma, wheezing, shortness of breath
- Pain or tightness in the chest.

Lifestyle Changes:
Now, if you are put on aspirin, it's a wake-up call, you need to have some lifestyle changes.
What you eat and how much you eat are important. Reducing fat and salt intake. Salt is commonly known as, Sodium the symbol is  Na+ increases blood pressure, and many foods in the supermarket contain sodium. this includes your daily bread. So read the labels while you purchasing your groceries, to control how much salt you take in. It's a good idea to remove table salt from your dining table.  An adult body only needs around 1 – 2g of salt (460 – 920mg sodium) per day to function. Licorice is also something that increases blood pressure, so avoid it. 

If you are a smoker, quit smoking. if you drink too much alcohol, stop it. If you need help stopping these. contact your doctor. Exercises are important as well.  Now if you just have a heart attack or stroke, speak to your doctor or cardiac rehabilitation team for advice on types of suitable exercises to begin. Follow your doctor’s advice and slowly build up your activity. and Remember, never hold your breath when lifting weights.
