Escitalopram
Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat mood disorders like depression and anxiety disorders like generalized anxiety disorder. It works by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. Unlike other SSRIs, escitalopram binds to both the primary and allosteric sites of the serotonin transporter, resulting in a stronger and longer-lasting inhibition of serotonin reuptake. The usual starting dose for depression is 10 mg per day, while for panic disorder it is 5 mg for the first week then increasing to 10 mg. Maximum effectiveness may take 2-4 weeks for depression or up to 3 months for panic disorder.

This document provides information on analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs. It begins by defining analgesics as drugs that relieve pain without altering consciousness, and anaesthesia as loss of sensation. It then classifies analgesics into two main groups - opioid analgesics like morphine and non-opioid analgesics like NSAIDs. The document goes on to describe various opioid and non-opioid analgesics in detail, their mechanisms of action, uses, and adverse effects. It focuses on the role of prostaglandins in pain and inflammation, and how different NSAIDs work by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
Warfarin
Anticoagulant treatment involves interfering with the blood clotting mechanism to prevent or treat blood clots. Common indications for anticoagulant therapy include atrial fibrillation, heart valve disease, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and ischemic heart disease. Warfarin and heparin are commonly used oral and injectable anticoagulants, respectively. Dental procedures on patients taking anticoagulants require monitoring coagulation levels and controlling bleeding risks.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors 2016
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of antidepressants that work by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin. SSRIs include fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, citalopram, and escitalopram. They are highly selective for serotonin reuptake compared to other neurotransmitters. While SSRIs share the common mechanism of inhibiting serotonin reuptake, they differ in their pharmacokinetic properties such as half-life, metabolic pathways, and drug interaction potential. Adverse effects of SSRIs include nausea, sexual dysfunction, headaches, and weight changes.
Epilepsy

Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs)
They are specific 5-HT and various degrees NE reuptake inhibition.
Venlafaxine, at lower doses (75–100 mg/day) acts as SSRI. As the dose increases it inhibit NE reuptake (& 2ry ↓ DA reuptake in prefrontal cortex, which lacks DAT→ ↑ DA).
Sulfonylureas
Sulfonylureas are oral hypoglycemic drugs that enhance insulin secretion from the pancreas. They work by blocking ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic beta cells, which leads to insulin release. Common side effects include hypoglycemia and weight gain. Examples include glibenclamide, glipizide, and glimepiride. Choice of sulfonylurea depends on factors like duration of action, renal function, and patient age. They are generally effective treatments for type 2 diabetes but require caution in elderly patients or those with kidney/liver problems.

12.drugs used in rheumatoid arthritis and gout
This document discusses treatments for rheumatoid arthritis and gout. It outlines that for rheumatoid arthritis, first line treatments include NSAIDs and disease-modifying drugs like methotrexate. Methotrexate is often the disease-modifying drug of choice as it has potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects via inhibiting T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. For acute gout attacks, treatments include NSAIDs, colchicine, and corticosteroids, with colchicine helping to reduce inflammation by inhibiting leukocyte migration. Chronic gout is treated by promoting uric acid excretion using uricosuric drugs like probenecid or reducing uric acid synthesis with allopurinol
Pharmacological management of migraine

Neuropathic Pain
The document discusses neuropathic pain, including its pathophysiology, symptoms, causes, assessment, and treatment approaches. It provides details on pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options for peripheral and central neuropathic pain, including guidelines on first-line therapies such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and topical lidocaine. Emerging treatments currently under investigation are also mentioned.
Managing neuropathic pain
Neuropathic pain is caused by damage or disease affecting the somatosensory nervous system and is characterized by abnormal sensations such as burning or stabbing pain. It is estimated to affect 7-8% of adults. Common causes include diabetes, shingles, HIV, cancer treatments and injuries. Diagnosis involves medical history, exams and tests to rule out other conditions. Treatment involves pharmacologic options like antidepressants, anticonvulsants and opioids as well as non-pharmacologic therapies. However, neuropathic pain is difficult to treat and a multidisciplinary approach combining several therapies is often needed to provide effective relief.
Rheumatoid arthritis
This document summarizes the pharmacotherapy of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It discusses the pathogenesis of RA and the goals of treatment. It describes the classes of drugs used including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biologic DMARDs. The standard treatment protocol is to use methotrexate as first-line therapy and consider tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors or other biologics for patients with inadequate response. Combination therapy with methotrexate and a biologic is superior to methotrexate alone. Special considerations are discussed for pregnancy, elderly patients, and non-pharmacologic therapy.
Antiemetics
The document discusses antiemetics, which are drugs used to treat nausea and vomiting. It defines nausea, vomiting, and antiemetic agents. It describes the vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone in the brain which stimulate vomiting once activated. It explains the different mechanisms of action that various antiemetics use to block vomiting pathways, such as blocking acetylcholine, histamine H1 receptors, dopamine receptors, serotonin receptors, and cannabinoid receptors. Finally, it reviews the indications for different classes of antiemetics in treating conditions like chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, postoperative nausea, and motion sickness.
Cefixime
This document summarizes information about the third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic cefixime. It is used to treat ear, sinus, throat, chest and lung, and urinary infections caused by bacteria. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. There is no specific antidote for overdose. Cefixime is available as tablets, chewable tablets, dry syrup, and oral suspension under various brand names after its patent expired in 2003.

The patient was treated with medications like citicoline, levetiracetam, atorvastatin, and aspirin. His condition improved and he was discharged with advice on medications and lifestyle modifications to prevent further strokes.
Analgesic, Pain Ladder, Pain Assessment & Pain Treatment
The document discusses pain management and the WHO pain ladder. It provides information on assessing pain, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options, and guidelines for treating pain based on severity. The WHO pain ladder recommends treating mild pain with non-opioids, moderate pain with weak opioids, and severe pain with strong opioids, while also considering adjuvant therapies and non-drug measures. The goal of pain management is comprehensive, patient-centered relief using a combination of treatments tailored to each individual.
Intro to Acute Pain- Analgesia Choices
The document discusses analgesic choices and provides guidelines for planning analgesia for patients. It describes the WHO analgesic ladder which recommends a stepwise approach starting with non-opioids like paracetamol and NSAIDs, then weak opioids like codeine, and finally strong opioids like morphine if pain persists or increases. It also discusses considerations for analgesic selection including pharmacokinetics, side effect profiles, and contraindications. Practical guidance is provided on prescribing opioids, including routes of administration, dosages, and frequencies.
Intro to Acute Pain- Pain Assessment
This document discusses tools for assessing pain in patients. It outlines obtaining a thorough history of the pain including its character, onset, location, duration, relieving/aggravating factors, intensity, and recurrence. A physical exam should include vital signs and examination of areas related to the reported pain location to identify any underlying causes. Several pain assessment scales are used at NUH to gauge a patient's pain intensity and response to treatment over time.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
