Effects of Overdose of Analgesics | NSAIDS and Opioids Overdose effects Dr. Rajat Sachdeva
Analgesics aka Pain killer not only relieving from pain but they also have bad effects on overdose.
Intentionally or unknowingly, it affects both. NSAIDS and Opiods both affects systemically.
Opioids interacts its receptor in brain and prevents a chemical GABA from release, these controls Dopamine. Increase in Dopamine concentration causes feeling of euphoria, constipation, itching, ineffective ventilation respiratory effects during sleep or sleep apnea.
NSAIDs affects Liver, kidney, pregnant, breastfeeding, Peptic ulcer, Asthma, Allergies, Chron's disease.
Pain killer along with alcohol is more harmfull as it depresses brain synergistically.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

2. General points

• It is important to realize that every pain killer is associated with some side effects in short term or long term.
• Therefore it is advised to learn and identify potential disadvantages before consuming any painkiller.

3. Introduction
• The pain which is triggered by any damaged or sensitive nerves (shingles) is usually managed by nerve
blockers or anti-depressants.
• Some painkillers are used as muscle relaxants to decreases the intensity of pain triggered by the muscles
group. This pain killer act as sedative for central nervous system.
• Pain killers which are NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) works on the patho-physiological
processes that elicit pain, fever and other signs of inflammation in the body.
• Corticosteroids pain killers are usually given for the management of musculoskeletal injuries due to its effect
on shutting down inflammation causing processes.
• These tablets have the capacity to modulate the perception of pain by central nervous system and cause
Central Nervous System Disorders (CNSD) which affect the brain and the spinal cord.

6. Physiological side effects
• Action directly on intestine and in CNS, it increases tone and segmentation but decreases propulsive movements.
• Tone of duodenum and colon may be increased to the level of spam.
• Spam of pyloric, ileo faecal and anal sphincter.
• Acute left ventricular failure
• Decrease in all gastrointestinal secretion
• Central action causing in attention to defecation reflex.
• Mild hyperglycemia due to Central sympathetic stimulation.
• Painkillers cause chemical changes to the brain and also kills brain cells.
• The most affected areas of the brain are those areas that deal with cognition, learning and memory.
• Painkiller abuse can cause long-term heart damage and increase the likelihood of a heart attack.
4/8/2020 www.nutrigiene.com 6
7. Mechanism
• Opiates and their analogs interact at the various opioid receptors in the brain, they have a wide range of side
effects.
• When a painkiller attaches to the opioid receptor, it prevents a chemical known as GABA from being
released.
• This chemical normally controls the release of dopamine, along with a couple of other neurotransmitters,
which causes dopamine to flood the brain, creating the high.
• Narcotic painkillers bind to opiate receptors which are typically bound by special hormones called
neurotransmitters.
• When painkillers are used for a long period of time, the body slows down production of these natural
chemicals and makes the body less effective in relieving pain naturally.
4/8/2020 www.nutrigiene.com 7
8. Cont..
• That is because narcotic painkillers fool the body into thinking it has already produced enough chemicals as
there becomes an overabundance of these neurotransmitters in the body.
• Existing neurotransmitters have nothing to bind with, as the drugs have taken their place on the opiate
receptors.
• Because of this occurrence, the levels of naturally occurring neurotransmitters in the body decreases and
the body builds an increased tolerance to the painkillers so more of the substance is needed to produce the
same effect.
• Many of the neurotransmitters that are decreased include natural endorphins that are considered feel-good
chemicals in the brain that also help with pain.
• Therefore, chemical dependency increases and likelihood of addiction increases as the body is unable to
produce the natural chemical needed to relieve pain.

• Chills

10. Effect on nutritional status
• Nutritional status may also be impacted by a drug's effect on the three main nutrients: carbohydrates, fat
and protein .
• A drug may speed up or slow down the breakdown of these three nutrients, which are essential to the body's
functioning.
• Salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin and other painkillers, is a gastrointestinal irritant, increasing the
permeability of the gut wall.
• This in turn upsets the absorption of nutrients, allowing incompletely digested foods to pass into the
bloodstream, alerting the immune system and triggering allergy responses to common food.
• In the long term, this weakens the immune system, encourages inflammation and burns up vital vitamins and
minerals needed for healthy immunity, as well as triggering intestinal bleeding.
