Digoxin

Generic Name: digoxin

Trade Name: Lanoxin

Indication: CHF, A-fib, A-flutter Action Positive inotropic effect (increases force of myocardial contraction), prolongs refractory period, ↓ conduction through SA and AV nodes. Essentially digoxin is given to increase cardiac output and slow the rate.

Therapeutic Class: antiarrhythmic, inotropics

Pharmacologic Class: digitalis glycosides

Nursing Considerations:
 Excreted by kidneys
 Assess patient for hypersensitivity
 Contraindicated with uncontrolled ventricular arryhtmias
 Hypokalemia increase risk for toxcicity
 Hypercalcemia ↑ risk for toxicity
 Use caution with diuretic use as they may cause electrolyte abnormalities that can lead to toxicity
 Assess patient for cardiac arrythmias including bradycardia
 Signs of toxicity include vision changes (blurred vision, yellow, green vision disturbances)
 Monitor pulse rate for 1 full minute prior to dosing patient (hold for pulse less than 60)

Cardiac glycosides like Digoxin are positive inotropic drugs that help give the heart a more forceful contraction, or in other words, they help increase the contractility of the heart muscle (the myocardium). Digoxin and other cardiac glycosides like Milrinone, help to increase cardiac output (C.O.), fancy words for helping the heart to pump out more oxygen rich blood to the body.

Correction to increasing bulk-forming foods for constipation:
"Increasing dietary fiber, fluid intake, and physical exercise are the backbone to prevention therapy... All types of laxatives can be used as initial therapy except for the bulk-forming laxatives... The only laxatives that should be avoided are the bulk-forming laxatives, like psyllium. These laxatives increase the bulk of the stools, distend the colon, and augment peristalsis. Opioids prevent peristalsis of the increased bulk which worsens abdominal pain and can contribute to bowel obstruction." - Opioid Induced Constipation (2021) - PMID: 29630236

Exploring the Benefits of Diltiazem: Unlocking a Powerful Cardiovascular Drug
Exploring the Benefits of Diltiazem: Unlocking a Powerful Cardiovascular Drug Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

Diltiazem is a powerful cardiovascular drug used to treat hypertension, angina, and arrhythmia. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium-channel blockers, which are used to relax the muscles in the walls of the arteries and veins, allowing for better blood flow and improved cardiovascular health. Diltiazem is a versatile drug that can be used alone or in combination with other medications to treat a variety of cardiovascular conditions. It is also well-tolerated and produces fewer side effects than other medications. In this video, we will explore the benefits of diltiazem and how it can be used to improve cardiovascular health. We will discuss the mechanism of action, side effects, and potential interactions. Finally, we will look at the evidence-based studies that support the use of diltiazem in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
How Does Diltiazem Work?.
Diltiazem works by blocking the action of calcium ions in the heart and blood vessels. Calcium is an important mineral that is necessary for normal muscle contraction. When calcium ions enter the cells of the heart, they cause the muscles to contract and pump blood. By blocking the action of calcium, diltiazem relaxes the muscles, allowing for improved blood flow. This reduces the workload on the heart and decreases the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. It also helps to reduce blood pressure and stabilize heart rhythms.
In addition to its direct action on the heart and blood vessels, diltiazem also has other beneficial effects. It can help to reduce the risk of clot formation, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries and can lead to other cardiovascular complications.
Benefits of Diltiazem.
The primary benefit of diltiazem is its ability to improve cardiovascular health. By relaxing the muscles in the walls of the arteries and veins, it helps to reduce blood pressure and stabilize heart rhythms. This can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes as well as other cardiovascular events.
In addition to its cardiovascular benefits, diltiazem can also help to reduce the risk of clot formation. Clot formation can lead to blockages in the arteries and can cause strokes and other serious complications. By reducing the risk of clot formation, diltiazem can help to reduce the risk of these life-threatening events.
Diltiazem also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries, leading to a narrowing of the arteries and increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. By reducing inflammation, diltiazem can help to reduce the risk of this condition.
Side Effects of Diltiazem.
Like all medications, diltiazem can cause side effects. The most common side effects include headache, dizziness, and fatigue. Other side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and rash. Most of these side effects are mild and do not require medical treatment.
In rare cases, diltiazem can cause more serious side effects. These include very low blood pressure, irregular heart rhythm, fainting, and chest pain or discomfort. If you experience any of these side effects, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Potential Interactions with Other Medications.
Diltiazem can interact with other medications, so it is important to discuss all medications that you are taking with your doctor. It is especially important to tell your doctor if you are taking any medications that affect the heart or blood vessels, such as beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, or medications for high cholesterol.
In addition, diltiazem may interact with certain supplements and herbal remedies. It is important to tell your doctor about any supplements or remedies that you are taking, as they may interact with diltiazem and cause dangerous side effects.

Can Diltiazem Cause Insomnia? - Cardiology Community Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

Can Diltiazem Cause Insomnia? In this informative video, we will discuss the effects of diltiazem, a commonly prescribed calcium channel blocker, on sleep quality. Diltiazem is widely used for managing high blood pressure and various heart conditions, playing an essential role in cardiac care. While it is effective for many patients, it is important to be aware of potential side effects, including insomnia. This video will provide an overview of how diltiazem may impact sleep and what steps can be taken to manage any sleep disturbances that may arise during treatment.

We will also touch on other possible side effects related to the nervous system, which can include headaches and dizziness. Understanding these side effects is important for both patients and healthcare providers to ensure optimal treatment outcomes. We will offer practical tips for monitoring sleep patterns and improving sleep hygiene, which can enhance overall well-being and recovery for individuals receiving diltiazem.

Calcium channel blocker like Nifedipine, Diltiazem, Verapamil are used to lower both blood pressure and heart rate for patient experiencing hypertension like in heart failure, and this is the main reason that CCB's are put in the class of antihypertensive drugs, since they decrease blood pressure. Although calcium channel blockers (CCB's) come with some key nursing considerations you the nursing student must know for both the NCLEX and nursing exams.

A message from Mike Linares, founder of SimpleNursing
Since 2012, I started to do mini lectures from my parents in home library, armed with a $30 white board from Walmart & a sock to erase the board. Since then I have created over 1,200 videos, only 20% which live on YouTube, and have helped over 1,000,000 nursing students pass their NCLEX, HESI, ATI, and Kaplan proctor exams. Thank you for the continued support and love as we strive to help LPN, LVN and RN students become licensed nurses!

Calcium Channel Blockers | Mechanism of Action, Indications, Adverse Reactions, Contraindications
Calcium Channel Blockers | Mechanism of Action, Indications, Adverse Reactions, Contraindications Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

Official Ninja Nerd Website: https://ninjanerd.org

Ninja Nerds!
In this cardiovascular pharmacology lecture, Professor Zach Murphy delivers a clear and high-yield breakdown of Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs), focusing on their mechanisms, classifications, clinical uses, and side effect profiles.

We begin by reviewing how CCBs inhibit L-type voltage-gated calcium channels, reducing calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac myocytes. This leads to vasodilation, decreased myocardial contractility, and slowed conduction through the AV node, depending on the drug class.

The lecture divides CCBs into two major categories:
• Dihydropyridines (e.g., Amlodipine, Nifedipine, Felodipine) – Act primarily on vascular smooth muscle to reduce systemic vascular resistance, making them ideal for treating hypertension and vasospastic angina
• Non-dihydropyridines (Verapamil, Diltiazem) – Affect both the heart and blood vessels, useful for rate control in atrial fibrillation, angina, and hypertension, with negative chronotropic and inotropic effects

We also compare side effects: peripheral edema, reflex tachycardia, constipation (notably with Verapamil), bradycardia, and potential AV block. Clinical cautions and drug interactions are emphasized, especially when combining with beta blockers.

Calcium channel blockers are medications used to treat high blood pressure aka hypertension. Nurses, nursing students, and healthcare providers need to understand how these medications work in order to monitor and teach patients about their impact and side effects.

There are some important questions our patients will ask us and we need to know where to find the right information.

Can I take my CCB with grapefruit juice?
Is it okay if I take it and then measure my blood pressure?
What about other medications, is it safe to use?

Why do you gain weight with antidepressants and mood stabilizers?
Why do you gain weight with antidepressants and mood stabilizers? Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

Why do you gain weight with antidepressants and mood stabilizers?

In this video I discuss two way. One way is by blocking histamine 1 receptors. We usually think of histamine as something that is associated with allergies and your immune response. If you’re exposed to something your body is sensitive to, you get a histamine response that can look like itching, runny nose or even shortness of breath. And if you take an antihistamine like Benadryl, it slows the allergic reaction and you feel better. That's how it works from the neck down. Histamine acts differently in your brain. In certain parts of your brain, it’s responsible for wakefulness or your ability to be alert. That's why if you take an anti-histamine it may reduce your allergic reaction, but if it crosses the blood brain barrier, it can also make you sleepy because it's blocking histamine’s stimulating effect in your brain. There are four histamine receptors, I’m going to talk about H1 receptors.
A second mechanism is blocking the 5HT 2c receptors. This is just a type of serotonin receptor. It’s been shown in mice that if you activate their 5HT2c receptors, they lose weight because they eat less. And if you block the receptor they became obese. Many of the newer antipsychotic medications block this receptor. Of all the antipsychotic medications, the worst offenders when it comes to weight gain are olanzapine, clozapine and quetiapine. And all three of these medications block 5HT2c.

In this video I also discuss what you can do to offset the weight gain.

• Domperidone in very small amounts enters the breast milk but there have been no known cases of harmful cardiac effects on babies.
• If you are taking any other medication, including over the counter or complementary medicines (also known as traditional or alternative medicines including vitamins, minerals, herbs, aromatherapy and homeopathic products) from a health food store, discuss this with your doctor prior to commencing domperidone

Six FDA-Approved Alzheimer's Dementia Prescription Medications
Six FDA-Approved Alzheimer's Dementia Prescription Medications Side Effects 2 Views • 5 months ago

Presently, Alzheimer's Disease is incurable. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved six (6) prescription medications for treating some of the memory-loss symptoms associated with cognitive impairment and dementia.

These pharmaceuticals fall into three (3) broad categories.

Firstly, there are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI). These are designed to boost the brain's levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine by hindering the body's ability to break it down. These drugs include donepezil (Aricept), galantamine (Razadyne/Reminyl), rivastigmine (Exelon), and the now-obsolete tacrine (Cognex).

For a more in-depth explanation of how this first sort of drug works, see my video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UxFMx40Ur0

Secondly, come the NMDA-receptor antagonists (NMDARA). These have to do with the funciton of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and the neurotransmitter glutamate. At the present time, the main offering, here, is memantine (Namenda).

Thirdly, are composite medications that combine the actions of the first two categories. To put it differently, and as of this writing, researchers have put donepezil together with memantine (to create Namzaric).

None of these interventions is curative. They do not reverse Alzheimer's. They may, however, be able to slow down a person's cognitive decline. However, these drugs may have side effects.
