[...] Question - The Gravol (dimenhydrinate) is an antihistamine of the H1 family. Its main side effect is a significant sedative action. - In these conditions, I will not give Gravol to my patient. The concomitant intake of alcohol has the effect of increasing the sedative effect of dimenhydrinate. However, in the event of acute alcohol intoxication, it is important to be able to ensure that the airways remain clear. Question - Vitamin B12 is necessary for the formation and maturation of red blood cells. [...]

[...] Modes of action Side effects Glucophage Glucophage (metformin) is a biguanide. - Decreases insulin resistance by promoting peripheral glucose utilization (by muscles and adipocytes) - Decrease in glucose production by the liver - Gastrointestinal disturbances, diarrhoea - Taste disturbances - Malabsorption of vitamin B12 - Lactic acidosis Diabeta Le Diabeta (glyburide) is a sulfonylurea. - increases insulin secretion - Hypoglycemia - Weight gain - Digestive problems" - Hepatotoxicity - Haematological toxicity - Cutaneous allergic reactions Question - The Norvasc (amlodipine) is an antihypertensive and antianginal agent. [...]

[...] Question - Pregabalin - Diabetes is a risk factor for peripheral neuropathy. Pregabalin limits calcium influx, which allows for a decrease in neuronal excitability, and reduces nerve pain. - The pain control and quality of life improvement must be evaluated to adjust the doses, based on the results. Question - Timolol ophthalmic is a non-cardioselective beta-blocker that reduces intraocular pressure associated with or without glaucoma. - To administer an eye drop, it is essential to emphasize the importance of hygiene to avoid contamination (hand washing, avoid contact of the dropper tip with the eyes or hands and close the bottle after use). [...]

[...] Respiratory problems may also be found, particularly asthma, which requires increased monitoring of sensitive patients. Question 10: - Levo is a medication indicated for the management of Parkinson's disease and neurodegenerative parkinsonian syndromes. - During the adjustment of treatment, the following elements are to be monitored: [...]

[...] Question - Bactroban (mupirocin) is used to fight against a wound superinfection. - Bactroban is a topical antibiotic ointment. - Monitor for the absence of sensitization or irritation reactions. Prolonged use may lead to the selection of resistant bacterial strains. Question - A platelet count must be performed. - Plavix (clopidogrel) is an antiplatelet agent that limits platelet aggregation, preventing the formation of blood clots. - Bleeding is the main side effect associated with taking Plavix. Monitor for signs of hemorrhage (bruising, nosebleeds, pallor, sweating, hypotension, malaise). [...]
