Cisatracurium

Brand name:- Cisatra , Atrasic , Cicsblok, Atraflip C.

Pharmacodynamic:- 


The dose required to produce 95% suppression of twitch response to nerve stimulation ( ED95 ) of cisatracurium is 0.05 mg/kg in adults receiving opioid/nitrous oxide/oxygen anesthesia. The degree and duration of the neuromuscular block produced by cisatracurium increases in a dose-dependent manner, while the time to maximum neuromuscular block decreases. Compared to other neuromuscular blocking agents, it is intermediate in its onset and duration of action. Cisatracurium acts on cholinergic receptors, blocking neuromuscular transmission. This action is antagonized by acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as neostigmine.

The use of cisatracurium may lead to residual paralysis, as well as a higher risk of seizure. Medication errors increase the risk of death, and the use of certain drugs may potentiate the neuromuscular blocking action of cisatracurium.

Mechanism of action:- 

Like other non- depolarising neuromuscular blocking agents, cisatracurium binds competitively to cholinergic receptors in motor end-plate neurons, blocking acetylcholine from accessing the receptors. Therefore, in the presence of cisatracurium, an end-plate potential cannot be developed. Ion channels remain closed, the cell does not depolarize, and an action potential is not transmitted.

Used:-  

 Use as an adjunct to general anesthesia, facilitating tracheal intubation and providing skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery.

Dose:-

As directed by your doctor.

 Side Effects:-

•Slow heart rate
•Decreased blood pressure
•Injection site reactions (pain, swelling, redness

Chlorthalidone Uses, Side Effects, and More....

 Chlorthalidone  Brand name:- Hythalton 50,100mg , Hydrazide, Thalizide ( 12.5, 25) . Chlorthalidone is a diuretic which lowers blood pressure by removing extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Pharmacodynamic:- Not 🚫 available.  Pharmacokinetics:- Chlortalidone is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral ingestion. It has a long half-life and therefore a prolonged diuretic action, which results in continued diuretic effects despite a skipped dose. This prolonged action of chlortalidone despite missing doses may account for the higher efficacy of chlortalidone compared to the shorter half-life medication, hydrochlorothiazide. Chlortalidone is eliminated from the body mostly by the kidney, as unchanged drug. Thus, in persons with diminished kidney function, the clearance of chlortalidone is reduced and the elimination half-life is increased. As with other thiazide diuretics, ch...

Chlordiazepoxide Uses, Side Effects, and More

 Chlordiazepoxide Brand name:- Librium 10, 25 mg tabs; Equilibrium 10mg tab. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger (GABA) which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. Pharmacodynamic:-  Chlordiazepoxide has antianxiety, sedative, appetite-stimulating and weak analgesic actions. The drug seems to block EEG arousal from stimulation in the brain stem reticular formation. The drug has been studied extensively in many species of animals and these studies are suggestive of action on the limbic system of the brain, which recent evidence indicates is involved in emotional responses. Hostile monkeys were made tame by oral drug doses which did not cause sedation. Chlordiazepoxide revealed a "taming" action with the elimination of fear and aggression. The taming effect of chlordiazepoxide was further demonstrated in rats made vicious by lesions in the septal area of the brain. The drug dos...
