Study Notes
Hormones and Reproductive Health
- Oxytocin, produced by the pituitary gland, causes uterine contractions and is used during delivery and post-delivery to prevent hemorrhaging, commonly resulting in painful contractions.
- Testosterone can be used in palliative care for breast cancer to reduce tumor size; patch applications require site rotation every 7 days.
- Conjugated estrogen treats menopausal symptoms but increases risks of DVT, MI, and dementia; contraindicated in abnormal uterine bleeding.
- Norethindrone is taken daily to maintain efficacy but may cause photosensitivity and increased risk of breakthrough bleeding with St. John’s Wort.
Treatments and Side Effects
- Finasteride treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and alleviates symptoms like nocturia but may cause sexual dysfunction and impaired fertility.
- Sulfasalazine treats ulcerative colitis, with a risk of hepatotoxicity; caution advised for severe liver or renal impairment.
- Methylnaltrexone helps with chronic constipation in cancer patients using opioids.
- Medroxyprogesterone is a long-term contraceptive administered every 3 months but may lead to thromboembolic events if combined with St. John’s Wort or smoking.
Gastrointestinal and Metabolic Health
- Antacids provide temporary relief from heartburn by neutralizing stomach acid; absorption may be affected by other medications.
- H2 receptor antagonists treat duodenal ulcers and prevent recurrence by blocking stomach acid secretion.
- Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) inhibit acid production but can take several days for symptom relief; long-term use increases fracture risk.
- Sucralfate does not affect acid secretion but coats gastric erosion to promote healing.
Pregnancy and Lactation Considerations
- Vitamin A is safe in recommended amounts during pregnancy, but excessive intake can cause fetal malformations.
- Folic acid deficiency due to pregnancy, alcohol abuse, or malabsorption requires supplementation.
Cardiovascular and Renal Health
- Magnesium sulfate relaxes smooth muscle and may be used to delay preterm labor; overdose symptoms include confusion and decreased reflexes.
- Terbutaline is effective for preterm labor but has a black box warning against use exceeding 72 hours due to potential harm to the fetus.
Miscellaneous
- Bismuth subsalicylate binds and eliminates toxins, effective for treating diarrhea.
- Oral contraceptives may become less effective when using certain antibiotics or anticonvulsants, which increase the risk of thrombolytic events.
- Hyperkalemia treatment depends on kidney function, utilizing glucose, calcium gluconate, and dialysis as necessary.
- Crystalloids, like Ringer's solution, are used for fluid replacement in hypovolemic shock, while colloids like dextran maintain vascular fluid.
Safety Guidelines
- Always monitor for dehydration symptoms in enteral feedings and increase fluid intake when using psyllium mucilloid to treat constipation.
- Avoid alcohol and certain medications to prevent interactions and side effects, especially in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or contraceptive use.
