Indications for Rivaroxaban Use

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon indications for Rivaroxaban use as follows Individuals with history of cardiac arrhythmias, such as, atrial or ventricular fibrillation, are at increased risk for clot formation. The clots so formed in the heart have potential to be pumped by the heart into the blood stream and get deposited in vital organs, such as, brain or heart. This can result in obstruction of blood supply to the vital organs, thus leading to stroke [...]

Rivaroxaban and Mechanism of Action

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon therapeutic uses and mechanism of action of Rivaroxaban as follows Rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant inhibiting some proteins that help clotting. Rivaroxaban inhibits factor Xa, a very key factor, along the pathway of clot formation. Inhibition of factor Xa by Rivaroxaban further leads to inhibition of formation of several other proteins along the clotting pathway, thus making the blood thinner and less likely to clot. Rivaroxaban helps individuals with cardiac arrhythmias, such [...]

Restoril and Mechanism of Action

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon mechanism of action of restoril as follows: Neurotransmitters in the brain and spinal cord are chemical messengers that help the nerve cells to communicate with each other. These chemicals can both be excitatory and inhibitory. Excitatory neurotransmitters help in stimulating the brain and spinal cord nerve cells. These chemicals contribute to promoting the impulses to spread from one cell to the other. Increased promotion of nerve impulses among nerve cells can [...]

Precautions to be observed while taking Ranitidine-4

Patient/caregiver was educated on the precautions to be observed while taking ranitidine as follows: Ranitidine use can sometimes result in gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea. The diarrhea, secondary to ranitidine use, usually is self-limiting and resolve over a period of time. Occasionally it can be unresolved and continue longer. Report any unresolved diarrhea to your physician. Observe compliance with recommendations on fluid supplementation, to help replace fluid loss due to diarrhea. Continue taking it as ordered, [...]

Precautions to be observed while taking Ranitidine-3

Patient/caregiver was educated on the precautions to be observed while taking ranitidine as follows: Do not discontinue taking the medication without your physician’s consult, even if you failed to see the desired result immediately after taking the medication. Avoid drinking alcohol with ranitidine. Alcohol carries the potential to damage the inner lining (mucosa) of the digestive tract and thus worsen the symptoms of GERD and erosive gastritis, such as, burning sensation in the stomach and [...]
