Precautions to be Exercised for Using Pacerone-3

Patient was educated on precautions to be exercised for using Pacerone as follows: Pacerone is contraindicated in individuals with history of severe SOB and episodes of difficulty breathing, as Pacerone has an increased risk of causing pulmonary fibrosis. If a dose is missed, it should be taken at the earliest notice of noncompliance. If it is time for the next dose, the missed dose can be skipped. Compensating for the missed dose by taking an [...]

Precautions to be Exercised While Taking Pradaxa-4

Patient was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking Pradaxa as follows: Maintain strict compliance with intake of Pradaxa as ordered, with regards to dosage and frequency, to derive the benefit of the medication. Noncompliance with this recommendation can result in episodes of bleeding or clot formation. So, do not change your dose of Pradaxa, without your doctor’s recommendation. Keep up with use of laxatives and other measures to prevent constipation. Avoid straining at [...]

Therapeutic Uses and Mechanism of Action of Primidone

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon therapeutic uses and mechanism of action of primidone as follows: Nerve impulses in the brain are transmitted from one cell to the other as mild electrical impulses. Many factors such as, neurotransmitters in the brain, sodium and glucose concentrations in the blood, bacterial infections, blood and oxygen supply to the brain, and mechanical injury to the brain play a significant role in influencing these nerve impulses in the brain. Some of [...]

Reasons for Development of Seizures-2

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon the reasons for seizure development as follows: Reduced oxygen supply to the brain can result in altered electrical discharge in the brain, contributing to seizure activity. Bacterial infections involving the brain and spinal cord, such as, meningitis, can result in edema of brain and elevation of intracranial pressure, contributing to development of seizures. Both very high and too low levels of sodium in the blood can alter the electrical discharge in [...]

Reasons for Development of Seizures-1

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon the reasons for seizure development as follows: Seizures are caused by sudden, abnormal, increased electrical discharge in the brain. This sudden increased electrical activity in the brain can be secondary to the following reasons. Any episodes of trauma involving the brain, such as mechanical injury sustained during falls and accidents, can result in excessive electrical discharge leading to seizure development. Compromised blood supply to parts of brain, secondary to any clot formation or [...]
