    What happens to a diabetic patient who uses Sulfonylureas and Propranolol at the same time?

    <p>The patient may experience pronounced or asymptomatic hypoglycemia due to the interaction between these medications. This is because propranolol blocks beta-adrenoceptors, which contribute to recovery from hypoglycemia. As a result, the patient may experience a more severe and prolonged hypoglycemic episode.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the difference between 1st and 2nd generation antihistamines and their uses?

    <p>Traditional (first-generation) antihistamines are older medications that block both histamine and muscarinic receptors. They can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause drowsiness, sedation, and other side effects. Second-generation antihistamines are newer medications that block only histamine receptors. They don’t cross the blood-brain barrier as readily as first-generation antihistamines, making them less likely to cause drowsiness.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the mechanism of action (MOA) of Allopurinol and what is the consulting advise you have to give the patients?

    <p>Allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase, the enzyme that breaks down purine nucleotides to uric acid, by reducing the production of uric acid in the body. You should consult with your doctor before taking Allopurinol, especially if you have any kidney or liver problems.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the mechanism of action (MOA) of Captopril and what is the consulting advise you have to give the patients?

    <p>Captopril blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, in response to low blood volume, low salt (sodium) levels or high potassium levels. You should consult with your doctor before taking Captopril, especially if you have any kidney or liver problems.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    How long is the appropriate duration of use for decongestants and why?

    <p>Decongestants should only be used for a short time, usually not for more than a week at a time. This is because using decongestants for too long can lead to rebound congestion. Rebound congestion means that your congestion gets worse after you stop taking the decongestant.</p> Signup and view all the answers
