General Pharmacology discusses drugs that EMTs carry and can assist patients with. EMTs may administer oral glucose for hypoglycemia, activated charcoal for overdoses, nitroglycerin for chest pain, and metered-dose inhalers or epinephrine for respiratory emergencies. EMTs must follow the six rights before assisting with any patient medications and reassess patients after medication administration. Special considerations include adjusting pediatric dosages based on weight and monitoring elderly patients due to multiple medications and slower drug metabolism.
