Editor's Notes

  • #3 The reduction of bladder spasms is Dirtopan. The medication that treats bacterial infection is Cipro. The medication the increases volume of urine produced in Lasix. (Fremgen & Frucht, 2016, p 330, 324)
  • #4 (Fremgen & Frucht, 2016, p 324)
  • #5 Lasix is a medication that can be used to treat hypertension, edema, heart failure, chronic lung disease, and kidney disease. As Lasix is the trade name, the generic name of furosemide. The medication is classified under the group loop diuretics. The action of this medication works by inhibiting the sodium and chloride resorption in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. It also inhibits the absorption of sodium and chloride in the proximal and distal tubes. In return this causing an increased amount of urine by the kidneys (Lasix [Furosemide] Drug Summary, 2019)
  • #6 Ditropan is a medication used to treat urinary frequency, urinary incontinence, and neurogenic bladder. As Dtriopan is the trade name, the generic name is oxybutynin chloride. The medication is classified as an antispasmodic. The action of this medicine inhibits the involuntary detrusor muscle contractions. This helps to reduce contractions that allow the bladder to relax and fill. This decreases the urgency need by delaying the desire to void (Ditropan [Oxybutynin Chloride] Drug Summary, 2019).
  • #7 The medication Cipro is used for the treatment of urinary tract infections, respiratory related infections, skin infections, gastrointestinal tract infections and some sexual transmitted diseases. As the trade name if Cipro, the generic name if ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. This medication is classified as an antibiotic. This medication works by inhibiting or interrupting the DNA replication of bacteria, therefore stopping the reproduction of the bacteria (Cirpo [Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride] Drug Summary, 2019).
