Lipids are hydrophobic substances made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are obtained through diet or synthesized in the body. Lipids are digested in the mouth, stomach and intestines with the help of enzymes. They are emulsified and absorbed in the small intestine before being transported around the body within lipoproteins such as chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL. High LDL and triglycerides increase the risk of conditions like atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke by promoting plaque buildup in arteries. Fenofibrate is a drug that can help lower triglycerides and LDL cholesterol and raise HDL levels to reduce cardiovascular risks.

The nervous system contains specialized cells called neurons that coordinate animal actions and transmit signals between body parts. It performs three basic functions: receiving sensory input, integrating the input, and responding to stimuli. The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS contains the brain and spinal cord, which are protected by bone and tissue. The PNS connects the CNS to other body parts and contains nerves made of neuron bundles. Neurons transmit signals as electrochemical impulses via neurotransmitters released at synapses between neurons.
The respiratory system consists of organs and structures involved in gas exchange. Its main functions are to provide oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide. Key organs include the nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, diaphragm and lungs. Gas exchange occurs in alveoli surrounded by capillaries.

This document defines dosage forms and discusses various routes of drug administration. It provides details on:
1) The need for dosage forms such as accurate dosing, protection, taste masking, and controlled release.
2) Classification of dosage forms by route of administration (oral, topical, rectal, parenteral), physical form (solid, semisolid, liquid, gaseous) and type.
3) Advantages and disadvantages of different routes including oral, sublingual, buccal, rectal, parenteral, topical and others. Time of onset of effect for different routes is also compared.
Drug interactions occur when the pharmacological activity of one drug is altered by another substance like another drug, food, or chemical. There are several types of drug interactions including drug-drug, drug-food, chemical-drug, drug-laboratory test, and drug-disease. Drug interactions can increase or decrease a drug's effects, cause new side effects, or impact a test. The mechanisms of drug interactions are pharmaceutical, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic in nature. Pharmacokinetic interactions alter how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, or excretes a drug. Pharmacodynamic interactions impact a drug's effects or side effects at its site of action. Factors like multiple drug therapy, diseases,

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

2. LIPIDS
• Lipids are hydrophobic substances made mainly of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
3. Sources of Lipids
1. Diet
2. Synthesis
• Lipid Digestion
1 Mouth and Stomach
• Lipids (Fats) present in our food is hydrolysed in low
degree by lingual lipase and gastric lipase.
2 Intestine
On reaching lipids contents from Stomach to intestine, these
lipids content stimulates small intestinal mucosal cell to
release hormone CHOLECYSTOKININ.
CHOLECYSTOKININ stimulates gall bladderand
pancrease to release bile and digestive enzymes
respectively
• So Lipds are emulsifed and absorbed by small intestinal cell.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
5. Still, absorbed emulsified lipid is not transported.
So this lipid combine with proteins in in the
intestinal cell to form Liporoteins and cirulated via
Lymphatic system and blood.
There are four major classes of circulating lipoproteins
1. Chylomicrons,
2. very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL),
3. low-density lipoproteins (LDL),
4. Intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL) and high-density
lipoproteins (HDL)
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
7. There are 4 main types of lipoprotein
1. Chylomicrons: Formed in intestinal mucosal cell
(Rich in TGS)forms in GIT (intestinal Lining)
from dietary TG and secreted into the
lymphatic circulation.
These lipoproteins move into the blood
stream where they got hydrolyzed by
endothelial lipoprotein lipase which
hydrolyzes the triglyceride into glycerol and non-
esterified fatty acids.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
8. 2. VLDL (Rich in Colesterol & TGs)
Formed in liver
From Blood, chylomicron remnants are
absorbed in the liverand packaged with
cholesterol,cholesteryl esters and ApoB100
to form VLDL.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
9. 3. IDL( TGs and Cholesterol)
After the release of VLDL into the blood stream it will be
converted into IDLby the action of lipoprotein lipase and
hepatic lipase.
4. LDL (Cholesterol)
Again , hydrolysis by hepatic lipase, IDL will be converted to
LDL.
LDL carry cholesterol to all parts of the body.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
10. LDL (BAD LIPIDS ):
Low density lipoproteins (LDL) are considered “bad”
cholesterol.
While they carry needed cholesterol to all parts of the body,
too much LDL in the system can lead to coronary artery
disease, due to the buildup of LDL deposits in the artery walls
Together with other substances, it can form plaque, a thick,
hard deposit that can narrow the arteries and make them less
flexible.
This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and
blocks a narrowed artery, heart attack or stroke can result
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
11. • Cholesterol is lost from cells
in peripheral tissues by transfer to another
type of circulating lipoprotein (HDL) in the
blood and is then returned to the liver, where
it is metabolized to bile acids and salts.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
13. HDL (GOOD LIPIDS):
High-density lipoproteins – collect cholesterol
particles as they travel through blood vessels and
deposits them in the liver where they are transferred
to bile acids and disposed off.
A higher HDL score is desirable and will improve
overall cholesterol score.

18. Hyperlipidemia classification
• Hyperlipidemia general can be classified to:
Primary:
It is also called familial due to a genetic defect,
1. It may be Monogenic: a single gene defect or
2. Polygenic: multiple gene defects.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
19. Secondary:
• it is acquired because it is caused by another
disorder like
• diabetes, nephritic syndrome, chronic alcoholism,
hypothyroidism and with use of drugs like
corticosteroids, beta blockers and oral
contraceptives.
• Secondary hyperlipidemia together with significant
hypertriglyceridemia can cause pancreatitis.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
20. Complications of Hyperlipidemia
• Atherosclerosis: Hyperlipidemia is the
most important risk factor for
atherosclerosis, which is the major cause
of cardiovascular disease.
• Atherosclerosisis a pathologic process
characterized by the accumulation of
lipids, cholesterol and calcium and the
development of fibrous plaques with in
the walls of large and medium arteries
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
21. Fatty deposits build up in blood vessel walls and. resulting in
narrowing of the the arteries that supply blood to the myocardium,
and results in limiting blood flow and insufficient amounts of
oxygen to meet the needs of the heart
• The resulting condition, called atherosclerosis
often leads to eventual blockage of the coronary
arteries and a “heart attack”.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
23. • Eventually, the reduced blood flow may cause chest
pain (angina), shortness of breath, or other coronary
artery disease signs and symptoms. A complete
blockage can cause a heart attack.
• Because coronary artery disease often develops over
decades, one might not notice a problem until you
have a significant blockage or a heart attack
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
24. Myocardial Infarction (MI):
• MI is a condition which occurs when blood and
oxygen supplies are partially or completely blocked
from flowing in one or more cardiac arteries,
resulting in damage or death of heart cells. The
occlusion may be due to ruptured atherosclerotic
plaque.
• The studies show that about one-fourth of survivors
of myocardial infarction were hyperlipidemic
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
25. Ischemic stroke:
• Strokes occur due to blockage of an artery by a blood
clot or a piece of atherosclerotic plaque that breaks
loose in a small vessel within the brain.
• Many clinical trials revealed that lowering of low-
density lipoprotein(LDL) and total cholesterol by
15% significantly reduced the risk of the first stroke
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
27. Mixed dyslipidemia
• Mixed dyslipidemia is defined as elevations in
LDL cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels
that are often accompanied by low levels of
HDL cholesterol.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
28. MOA
Significantly decrease plasma triglycerides
Moderate decrease in LDL cholesterol
Increase in HDL cholesterol concentrations
Decrease in VLDL production
Increase hepatic excretion of cholesterol
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
30. Triglycerides
• Stimulation of lipoprotein lipolysis.
• Increase hepatic fatty acid (FA) uptake and
• reduction of hepatic triglyceride production.
• enhance the production of fatty acid transport protein and
acyl-CoA synthetase, which contribute to the increase
uptake of fatty acid by the liver and
• as a result in a lower availability of fatty acids for
triglyceride production
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
31. Dose of Fenofibrate
• Fenofibrate capsules are administered orally once daily with or without food.
• Dose adjustments are made at 4 to 8-week intervals based on
the individual patient response.
• Hypertriglyceridemia (type IV or V)
– 40 to 160 mg daily
• Hypercholesterolemia
– 120 to 160 mg daily
• Mixed dyslipidemia
– 120 to 160 mg daily
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
32. Precautions
• Patients with hepatic impairment should avoid the
use of fenofibrate. No dose adjustment is necessary
for patients with renal impairment if creatinine
clearance is above 80 mL/min
• Fenofibrate is contraindicated if creatinine clearance
is under 30mL/min or if the patient has severe renal
dysfunction.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
33. CI
• Fenofibrate is contraindicated for patients
with a history of hypersensitivity to
fenofibrate, liver disease, severe renal
dysfunction, preexisting gallbladder disease,
or breastfeeding.

• Face(Facial Weakness) – has their face fallen on one
side? Can they smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?
• Arms Weakness – can they raise both their arms and
keep them there?
• Speech Problems– is their speech slurred? If they
notice any of these symptoms it is:
• Time – time to call AND GO HOSPITAL if you see
ANY of these signs

42. STROKE
• Stroke refers to any damage to the brain or spinal cord
caused by an abnormality of the blood supply.
• The terms STROKE is typically used when symptoms
begin abruptly
• WHO:- Clinical syndrome consisting of rapidly
developing clinical signs of focal disturbances of
cerebral function, lasting more than 24 h or leading to
death with no apparent cause other than that of vascular
origin
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
43. • Infarction: Permanent injury
• The brain requires 75 to 100 mg of glucose each minute.
• Brain measures only 2% of adult body weight but uses approx.
20% of the cardiac output
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
45. Types of brain Damage in Stroke
• There are two major categories of brain
damage in stroke patients.
1. ISCHEMIA: Which is lack of blood flow
depriving brain tissue from energy and
oxygen
1. HEMORRHAGE: Which is the release of
blood into the brain and into the extravascular
spaces within the cranium.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
46. Ischemia
Further subdivided into 3 different mechanisms
1. -Thrombosis
2. -Embolism
3. -decreased systemic perfusion
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
47. 1. Thrombosis
• Refers to an obstruction of blood flow due to a
localised occlusive process within one or more
blood vessels.
• The lumen of vessel is narrowed or occluded
• The main cause is atherosclerosis
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
49. 2. EMBOLISM
Material formed else where within vascular
system lodges in an artery and blocks the flow
Blockage can be transient or may persist for
hours or days.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
51. Cardiac sources of embolism:
• Include from heart valves and clots or tumors within the
atrial or ventricular cavities
• Artery-to-artery emboli.
Are composed of clots, platelet clumps, or fragments of
plagues that break off from the proximal vessels
Pradocical embolism: clots originating in systemic veins
travel to the brain
Ocassionally air, fat, particulate matter from injected drugs,
bacteria, foreign bodies, and tumor cells enter the vascular
system and embolize to brain arteries.
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
52. 3. Decreased Systemic Perfusion
Diminished flow to brain tissue is caused by low
systemic pressure.
The most common causes are
1. Cardiac pump failure: most often due to
myocardial infarction or arrythmia
2. Systemic hypotension: due to blood loss or
hypovolemia
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
55. A subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH), sometimes known as a ‘bleed on the brain’, occurs
when bleeding occurs in the subarachnoid space.
The subarachnoid space lies beneath a layer of one of the brain’s coverings known as the
meninges.
The most common cause of a subarachnoid hemorrhage is the rupture of an aneurysm.
An aneurysm occurs when the walls of blood vessels become weakened and the blood vessel dilates.
• Bleeding usually results from the rupture of an abnormal bulge in a blood
vessel (aneurysm) in our brain.
Risk factors for developing aneurysms in the brain include smoking and high blood pressure
(hypertension)
• Untreated, a subarachnoid hemorrhage can lead to permanent brain damage or
death.

66. • All STATINS are
• (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A
reductase) INHIBITOR
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
67. • STATIN THERAPY
• An established key component of secondary
prevention after ischemic stroke
• High-intensity statins have been explicitly
recommended for atherosclerotic cardiovascular
disease, including ischemic stroke
• According to the British NICE guideline,11 high-
intensity statin use was defined as atorvastatin ≥20
mg/day, rosuvastatin ≥10 mg/day, and simvastatin 80
mg/day, medium-intensity as atorvastatin 10 mg,
fluvastatin 80 mg, rosuvastatin 5 mg, simvastatin 20
and 40 mg,
PABITRA THAPA, PRODUCT
MANAGER
68. BENEFITS OF STATIN THERAPY IN STROKE
Statin pretreatment increases cerebral blood flow and reduces
cerebral infarction size during cerebral ischemia
Because embolic stroke is less associated with cholesterol levels,
statin therapy is less effective in patients with embolic stroke.
In a SPARCL trial, compared with placebo controls, the high-intensity statin
(atorvastatin 80 mg) initiated after a stroke or transient ischemic attack
(TIA) resulted in a 16% reduction of nonfatal and fatal stroke and a 20%
reduction of major cardiovascular events after 5-year follow-up
Statins exert neuroprotective, microvascular, and anti-
inflammatory beneficial effects
