The BEST And WORST Forms of Magnesium
The BEST And WORST Forms of Magnesium Side Effects 1 Views • 2 months ago

Magnesium is incredibly important for cellular health as it is involved in over 300 different enzymatic reactions. When magnesium levels are low, you WILL feel it.

This leads a lot of people to use supplements to replace low magnesium levels.

But here's the problem:

When you go looking for magnesium supplements you will be met with a huge array of different types. And these types and formulations of magnesium are NOT all created equal.

Let's talk about the best types of magnesium so you can replace lost levels and manage symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, and more.

1. Magnesium oxide. This is the cheapest and least effective form and should be avoided!
2. Magnesium citrate. This form is great for treating constipation.
3. Magnesium malate. This is a stimulating form of magnesium great for those with fatigue (don't take it at night!).
4. Magnesium l-threonate. This form of magnesium crosses the blood-brain barrier and is ideal for treating conditions like depression.
5. Magnesium glycinate. This is one of the best all rounded forms for improving whole body magnesium.
6. Magnesium orotate. Magnesium orotate is ideal for improving athletic performance but it doesn't treat constipation.
7. Sucrosomial magnesium. This newer form of magnesium is probably best for improving athletic performance.

Doctor explains NITROFURANTOIN for UTIs | uses, doses, side effects & more [Educational video]
Doctor explains NITROFURANTOIN for UTIs | uses, doses, side effects & more [Educational video] Side Effects 1 Views • 2 months ago

Dr O'Donovan explains to patients key facts about an antibiotic used to TREAT AND PREVENT UTIs like cystitis called Nitrofurantoin. This is also known by its brand names: Aratoin, Furadantin, Macrobid, Macrodantin.

Video contents:

00:00 - Introduction
00:03 - A brief overview of nitrofurantoin
00:39 - How does it work?
01:13 - Who can and can't take it?
01:50 - Dosage information
04:55 - Side effects

According to the NHS (UK):

"Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic. It's used to treat and prevent lower urinary tract infections (UTIs), such as cystitis.

When you take nitrofurantoin, your body quickly filters it out of your blood and into your pee. This is useful if you have a urinary tract infection because it means the medicine is concentrated at the site of infection. But it means nitrofurantoin will not work for any other types of infection.

Nitrofurantoin is available on prescription. It comes as capsules, tablets and a liquid that you swallow."

How To Give A Blood Thinner (Anticoagulant) Shot
How To Give A Blood Thinner (Anticoagulant) Shot Side Effects 1 Views • 2 months ago

#anticoagulant #BloodThinner #Injection

MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Please watch the entire video before giving an anti-coagulant shot. This video will teach you how to give yourself a shot of anti-coagulant medicine, also called a blood thinner. Blood thinners help prevent clots from forming inside your blood vessels. Before you begin you will need alcohol wipes, your pre-filled syringe of anti-coagulant medicine, and a sharps box. The main parts of the syringe are the barrel containing the medicine, the plunger, the needle cap, and the needle. Select your injection site at least two inches to the right or left of your belly button or on either of your thighs. A caregiver may also use these instructions to give you a shot on either side of your back, upper arms, or upper buttocks. Use a different injection site each day to avoid swelling or bruising and take your shot at the same time each day. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. Do not skip any doses. Do not inject more medicine than prescribed. Step one, before you begin wash your hands with soap and water and then dry them. Step two, clean the skin over the injection site by rubbing with an alcohol wipe in a circular motion. Step three, to open your syringe peel the foil cover off the back. Do not push the syringe through the foil cover because it could damage the syringe. Step four, hold the syringe sideways by the barrel then pull the needle cap straight off without bending the needle. There will be an air bubble in the medicine. Do not press the plunger to squirt the air bubble out of the barrel. Step five, with your free hand, pinch and hold an inch of skin at the injection site. Insert the needle at a 90 degree angle through your skin and into the fatty tissue beneath it. Step 6, slowly press the plunger to deliver all of the medicine, including the air bubble. Step 7, pull the needle straight out of your skin. Step eight, press down firmly on the plunger to activate the safety guard which covers the needle. Step 9, throw away the used syringe in your sharps box. Call your doctor if you notice increased bleeding, or bruising, rash, numbness, or tingling especially in your legs.

Benefits of Lokelma: A Breakthrough Solution for Managing High Potassium Levels
Benefits of Lokelma: A Breakthrough Solution for Managing High Potassium Levels Side Effects 1 Views • 2 months ago

High potassium levels, also known as hyperkalemia, occur when there is an excess of potassium in the blood. Potassium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in nerve and muscle cell function, but when levels become too high, it can lead to serious health complications. Common causes of high potassium levels include kidney disease, heart failure, certain medications, and even poor diet choices.
The importance of managing high potassium levels cannot be overstated. If left untreated, hyperkalemia can lead to life-threatening conditions such as cardiac arrhythmias, muscle weakness, and even paralysis. It is essential to take proactive steps to bring potassium levels back to a healthy range.
Introducing Lokelma:. What is it and how does it work?.
Lokelma is a groundbreaking medication specifically designed to address high potassium levels. Its unique mechanism of action allows it to bind with excess potassium in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream. This effectively reduces the overall potassium levels in the body, bringing them back to a safe range.
Unlike some other treatment options, Lokelma is not absorbed into the bloodstream itself. Instead, it remains in the intestines, where it can continue to bind with excess potassium and facilitate its elimination from the body through the normal digestive process. This targeted approach helps to avoid potential side effects associated with other treatments while still effectively managing high potassium levels.
Benefits of Lokelma for managing high potassium levels.
One of the key benefits of Lokelma is its ability to provide rapid and sustained results. Clinical studies have shown that Lokelma can begin to lower potassium levels within just a few hours of administration, with maximum effects seen within one to two days. This means that patients can experience relief from the symptoms of hyperkalemia quickly and regain control of their health.
Another advantage of Lokelma is its ability to maintain potassium levels within the desired range over the long term. By binding with excess potassium in the intestinal tract, Lokelma helps to prevent a rebound effect known as rebound hyperkalemia. This phenomenon often occurs with other treatments, where potassium levels drop initially but then increase again shortly after treatment is discontinued. With Lokelma, patients can enjoy consistent and stable potassium levels, reducing the risk of complications associated with fluctuating levels.
Furthermore, Lokelma has been shown to be safe and well-tolerated in clinical trials. Common side effects, such as mild gastrointestinal discomfort, are generally temporary and resolve on their own. This makes Lokelma an attractive option for patients looking for a reliable and manageable solution for their high potassium levels.
Clinical studies and research on Lokelma.
Extensive research and clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Lokelma in managing hyperkalemia. These studies have consistently demonstrated the efficacy of Lokelma in reducing potassium levels and maintaining them within the desired range. In one study, patients with chronic kidney disease who received Lokelma experienced a significant decrease in potassium levels compared to those who received a placebo.

What do high blood potassium levels (hyperkalemia) mean, and what can you do about this situation? Find out.

Timestamps
0:00 High blood potassium levels (hyperkalemia)
1:20 Hyperkalemia causes 
2:30 Typical hyperkalemia treatment 
3:05 Hypokalemia 
3:20 Symptoms of hypokalemia
3:30 Testing for hyperkalemia and hypokalemia 

Today we’re going to talk about high levels of potassium in your blood, which is called hyperkalemia. 

98% of all of the potassium in your body is actually inside of your cells, not outside of the cells or in your blood. When evaluating hyperkalemia, we’re really looking at just the 2%, so we’re not seeing the whole picture of what’s going on. 

Considering that the majority of the potassium is inside of the cell, measuring potassium levels based on the blood may not be a good way to determine if a person has too much or too little potassium. However, there is an intracellular potassium test that I believe is much more valuable. 

A few important things about hyperkalemia:  
• It’s very rare
• There are very few symptoms associated with hyperkalemia (severe cases may cause palpitations, tiredness, muscle pain, and muscle weakness)
• There is a condition called pseudohyperkalemia (which is basically a false impression that you have high levels of potassium in the blood)
• Excessive intake of potassium is not a primary cause of hyperkalemia 

A few causes of hyperkalemia: 
• Advanced kidney disease 
• Addison’s disease 
• NSAIDs 
• Certain high blood pressure medications
 
The typical treatment for hyperkalemia typically involves taking:
• Calcium 
• Insulin 
• Dextrose 
• Sodium bicarbonate 

On the other hand, A deficiency of potassium in the blood is called hypokalemia. Hypokalemia is the most common form of electrolyte imbalance when someone is hospitalized.

A few symptoms of hypokalemia:
• Leg cramps 
• Weakness
• Constipation
• Abnormal heart rhythm issues

What Are The Common Side Effects Of Lithium?
What Are The Common Side Effects Of Lithium? Side Effects 1 Views • 2 months ago

Lithium is a medication used as a mood stabilizer in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
Additionally, it is used in the management of acute manic episodes, treatment of resistant depression, and resistant schizophrenia.
In this video, our main goal is to explore the common adverse effects of lithium.
Gastrointestinal effects such as nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea.
Tremors.
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, where the individuals have increased urine output, also known as polyuria, and increased thirst.
This adverse effect of lithium is due to the inhibition of ADH hormone by the drug.
Lithium also inhibits the hormone TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones.
This can cause hypothyroidism, or low thyroid hormone levels in blood.
Lithium also causes increased white blood cells, more specifically lymphocytes.
Lithium is not safe to use during pregnancy since it increases the risk of congenital heart defects in the baby.
Lithium has a narrow therapeutic window. Therefore, blood levels should be monitored closely.
If lithium in blood rises to toxic levels, it can cause several complications, including acute renal failure, and severe neurological complications like ataxia, confusion, inability to speak, coma, and even death.

Lithium Pharmacology - Indications, Mechanism Of Action, Adverse Effects & Toxicity
Lithium Pharmacology - Indications, Mechanism Of Action, Adverse Effects & Toxicity Side Effects 1 Views • 2 months ago

Lithium, is a medication used as a mood stabilizer in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
In addition, it is used in the management of acute manic episodes, treatment of resistant depression and resistant schizophrenia.
Bipolar disorder is a condition characterized by periods of lowered mood and depression, as well as periods of heightened mood and mania.
In bipolar disorder, individuals can have dramatic shifts in emotions, mood, and energy levels.
Lithium is one of the oldest and most effective medications in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
It decreases the frequency and magnitude of these ups and downs.
The exact mechanism by which lithium does this is not known.
However, it is thought that it regulates the release of neurotransmitters within the brain.
So, let’s first discuss the mechanism of neurotransmitter release at a synapse.
First, inositol, a carboxylic sugar is converted into phospho-inositol by adding a phosphate group.
Phospho-inositol is then converted to phospho-inositol-4-phosphate by adding another phosphate group.
Then, a 3rd phosphate group is added to form phospho-inositol-4,5-bisphosphate.
Then, a membrane-bound enzyme called phospho-lipase C, splits phospho-inositol-4,5-bisphosphate into diacylglycerol, or DAG, and inositol triphosphate, or IP3.
IP3 increases the intracellular calcium levels, which triggers the release of neurotransmitters to the synaptic cleft.
However, IP3 should be converted back to inositol before it can be used again.
IP3 is dephosphorylated to form IP2, and then into IP1, by an enzyme called inositol phosphate phosphatase, and ultimately into inositol by the enzyme inositol mono-phosphatase.
It is postulated that lithium inhibits these enzymes and prevents recycling of inositol, which will lead to decreased neurotransmitter release.
Lithium is taken orally, and it is absorbed rapidly into the blood.
It is not metabolized by the liver and eliminated exclusively by the kidneys.
Lithium has a narrow therapeutic window.
Therefore, blood levels should be monitored closely.
Some common adverse effects of lithium include the following.
Gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea.
Tremors.
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, where the individuals have increased urine output, also known as polyuria, and increased thirst, also called polydipsia.
This adverse effect of lithium is due to the inhibition of ADH hormone by the drug.
Lithium also blocks the hormone TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones.
This will lead to hypothyroidism.
Lithium also causes increased white blood cells, more specifically lymphocytes.
Lithium is not safe to use during pregnancy since it increases the risk of congenital heart defects in the baby.
Finally, if lithium in blood rises to toxic levels, it can cause acute renal failure, and severe neurological complications like ataxia, confusion, inability to speak, coma, and even death.

Victoza (liraglutide): Uses, How It Works, and Common Side Effects
Victoza (liraglutide): Uses, How It Works, and Common Side Effects Side Effects 1 Views • 2 months ago

Victoza is an injectable prescription medicine. It's designed to be used alongside diet and exercise to help improve blood sugar control in adults and children aged 10 years and older with type 2 diabetes.

Learn more:
https://www.drugs.com/victoza.html

It’s also used to help lower the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke in adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease.

This medication works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone plays a key role in managing blood sugar by increasing insulin release when your blood sugar is high, reducing the amount of sugar your liver produces, and slowing down how quickly food leaves your stomach.

Victoza is an injection that you give yourself once a day, usually under the skin in your stomach area, thigh, or upper arm. The dose is started low and slowly increases depending on your response and side effects.

The most common side effects of Victoza are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, indigestion and constipation.

01:40:16 CLINICAL CO-RELATE 1; Streptomycin (Aminoglycosides); Interferes with 30S subunit; Old drug;
Used for tuberculosis; Now, used against gram-negative aerobic bacteria or in combination with other drugs for gram-positive bacteria. Fails on anaerobes. Derived naturally from Streptomyces griseus.

01:45:45 CLINICAL CO-RELATE 2; Linezolid; Synthetic drug;
Successful drug for multi-drug resistant strains of gram-positive bacteria like MRSA, VRSA. Works on 50S subunit in such a way that it can't bind with 30S subunit, and functional initiation complex can't be formed.

01:48:26 Review along with Comparison of Streptomycin (Aminoglycosides) with Linezolid.

Aminoglycosides are antibiotics used for gram negative infections. Gram-negative means that the bacteria which cause the infection don't hold the colour of a particular dye (Crystal Violet) when they're tested.

Since they are not absorbed from the gut, they are usually taken by an injection into the vain or muscle but they can be given as a cream or ointment to prevent and treat skin infections, as eye drops for eye infections, as ear drops for ear infections and as a pill for intestinal infections but not for other internal infections.

Antibiotics from this family can be used in patients who are not able to take some regular antibiotics, such as Penicillin because of allergies. The most common Aminoglycosides used as alternatives to Penicillin are Erythromycin (lit. Red fungus) and Clarithromycin (lit. Yellow fungus). They're most commonly used in the treatment of bacterial infections, such as Bronchitis.

Linezolid is an antibiotic used for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics. Linezolid is active against most Gram-positive bacteria that cause disease, including streptococci, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The main uses are infections of the skin and pneumonia although it may be used for a variety of other infections including drug-resistant tuberculosis. It is used either by injection into a vein or by mouth.

When given for short periods, linezolid is a relatively safe antibiotic. It can be used in people of all ages and in people with liver disease or poor kidney function. Common side effects with short-term use include headache, diarrhea, rash, and nausea. Serious side effects may include serotonin syndrome, bone marrow suppression, and high blood lactate levels, particularly when used for more than two weeks. If used for longer periods it may cause nerve damage, including optic nerve damage, which may be irreversible.

As a protein synthesis inhibitor, linezolid works by suppressing bacterial protein production. This either stops growth or results in bacterial death. Although many antibiotics work this way, the exact mechanism of action of linezolid appears to be unique in that it blocks the initiation of protein production, rather than one of the later steps. As of 2014, bacterial resistance to linezolid has remained low. Linezolid is a member of the oxazolidinone class of medications.

Linezolid was discovered in the mid-1990s, and was approved for commercial use in 2000.
