  • Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection, USP)
    HEXADROL® PHOSPHATE INJECTION (dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection, USP) DESCRIPTION — Hexadrol® Phosphate Injection (dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection, USP) is a water-soluble inorganic ester of dexamethasone which produces a rapid response even when injected intramuscularly. Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate, C22H28FNa2O8P, has a molecular weight of 516.41 and chemically is Pregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione, 9-fluoro-11, 17-dihydroxy-16-methyl-21 (phosphonooxy)-, disodium salt, (11β, 16α). It occurs as a white to creamy white powder, is exceedingly hygroscopic, is soluble in water and its solutions have a pH between 7.5 and 10.5. It has the following structural formula: Hexadrol® Phosphate Injection is available in 4 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL concentrations. Each mL of Hexadrol® Phosphate Injection 4 mg/mL, contains dexamethasone sodium phosphate, USP equivalent to 4 mg dexamethasone phosphate; 1 mg sodium sulfite; 10 mg benzyl alcohol (preservative). Made isotonic with sodium citrate. pH adjusted with citric acid or sodium hydroxide. 1 Reference ID: 3593917 Each mL of Hexadrol® Phosphate Injection 10 mg/mL, contains dexamethasone sodium phosphate, USP equivalent to 10 mg dexamethasone phosphate; 1.5 mg sodium sulfite; 10 mg benzyl alcohol (preservative). Made isotonic with sodium citrate. pH adjusted with citric acid or sodium hydroxide. ACTIONS — Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone), which also have salt- retaining properties, are used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical deficiency states. Their synthetic analogs are primarily used for their potent anti-inflammatory effects in disorders of many organ systems. Glucocorticoids cause profound and varied metabolic effects. In addition, they modify the body’s immune responses to diverse stimuli.

  • Vertebroplasty (Repair of Vertebrae with Bone Cement)
    Patient information – Radiology Unit Tel 0118 322 7991 Vertebroplasty (repair of vertebrae with bone cement) Introduction This leaflet tells you about the procedure known as “vertebroplasty”, explains what is involved, the benefits and possible risks. It is not meant to replace informed discussion between you and your doctor but can act as a starting point for such a discussion. You should have plenty of time to discuss this procedure with the doctor who will be performing the procedure. What is vertebroplasty? Vertebroplasty is a procedure used to strengthen a collapsed spinal vertebra that has fractured and usually lost height due to osteoporosis or, less commonly, tumour infiltration or trauma. Vertebroplasty is primarily aimed at relieving the patient’s pain, to allow a rapid return to the previous level of activity, and secondarily to prevent further vertebral collapse. It is minimally invasive which means that patients suffer less disruption, face less risk and recover more quickly than with conventional open surgery. It is most effective when the fracture is relatively recent and particularly in patients who are very debilitated by the pain of the fracture or who cannot tolerate adequate quantities of painkilling medication. In some circumstances, vertebroplasty can be very effective even if the fracture is many months or even years old. Vertebroplasty is accomplished by injecting orthopaedic cement through a needle into the fractured bone; essentially forming an internal cast to stabilise the fracture similar to the principle of using plaster cast on an arm fracture. Typically, vertebroplasty is recommended if simpler treatments, such as bed rest, back bracing or pain medication have been ineffective, or if the side effects of analgesia have become problematic, such as causing stomach ulcers or drowsiness.

Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB) is a diagnostic injection of contrast (absent allergy to contrast) of a single nerve root to assist with surgical planning, followed by the introduction of a local anesthetic by inserting a needle into the neuroforamen under fluoroscopic or computed tomography (CT) guidance. SNRBs are erroneously referred to as transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI), although technically SNRBs involve the introduction of anesthetic only and are used for diagnostic purposes. Selective nerve root blocks (SNRBs) performed for the purpose of treating pain (i.e., repeat SNRB at the same level) may be termed therapeutic selective nerve root blocks.

  • Sacroiliac Joint Injection
    Dr Sean White Consultant in Pain Medicine Sacroiliac joint Injection 1 Introduction Before you agree to have your sacroiliac injections, it is sensible to know all you can about it. This means knowing why you may need sacroiliac injections, what the procedure is, and what it will be like, if there are any risks, and if there are any alternatives. Even if you are not keen on the details, getting an overall picture is helpful. This leaflet is a good starting point. It does not cover everything, so do mention any particular worries you may have. Ask for more information at any time. Patients, their pain problem and treatments all vary to a degree. But the leaflet should help you make the best decision. You will need to sign a consent form. This will happen just before the procedure at the hospital. This consent form records what you have agreed to. It is flexible enough to cover the unexpected. Please make sure everything is quite clear to you. Mention anything you do not wish to have done. You can change your mind even after signing the consent form. What are sacroiliac joint injections? Sacroiliac joints are the large pair of joints that hold the pelvis onto the spinal column. They help keep the spine straight and firm to hold your body weight. At the same time they allow limited movement so that you can bend, stretch and rotate. With injury or simple ‘wear and tear’ these joints can become painful. Injections into these joints are used to treat pain in that area.

  • Require Initiation of Oral/IV Corticosteroids - Require a Corticosteroid Injection
    Management of patients with musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions who: - are on corticosteroids - require initiation of oral/IV corticosteroids - require a corticosteroid injection 16 June 2020 This supersedes the specialist guidance “Management of Patients with Musculoskeletal and Rheumatic Conditions on Corticosteroids” published as part of the NHS England and Improvement phase 1 response to the coronavirus pandemic. It relates to musculoskeletal (MSK) service provision across primary, community and secondary care and is applicable to adults and children. The use of steroid medication is one of the management options for a range of musculoskeletal conditions and in particular rheumatic conditions, and this guidance aims to assist decisions on the use of such medication during the pandemic. It is supported by the British Society for Rheumatology, British Association of Orthopaedics, British Association of Spinal Surgeons, Royal College of General Practitioners, British Society of Interventional Radiology, Faculty of Pain Medicine, British Pain Society and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Management of patients with musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions who: are on corticosteroids; require initiation of oral/IV corticosteroids; require a corticosteroid injection. 16 June 2020. © BSR BOA BASS RCGP BSIR FPM BPS CSP. It reflects the new potential problems that may be associated with corticosteroid use in the setting of COVID-19 while recognising the important role that appropriate and considered use of corticosteroids may have to treat patients where alternative treatments are inappropriate or ineffective. Summary Steroids – oral and injected – can be an important and effective treatment for some MSK conditions, particularly rheumatic conditions, some types of arthritis and joint pain. Sometimes these can be lifesaving.

Lozenges are palatable solid unit dosage form administrated in the oral cavity. They meant to be dissolved in mouth or pharynx for its local or systemic effect. Lozenge tablets provide several advantages as pharmaceutical formulations however with some disadvantages. Lozenge as a dosage form can be adopted for drug delivery across buccal route, labial route, gingival route and sublingual route. Multiple drugs can also be incorporated in them for chronic illness treatments. Lozenge enables loading of wide range of active ingredients for oral systemic delivery of drugs. Lozenges are available as over the counter medications in the form of caramel based soft lozenges, hard candy lozenges and compressed tablet lozenges containing drugs for sore throat, mouth infection and as mouth fresheners. The rationale behind the use of medicated lozenges as one of the most favored dosage form for the delivery of antitussive drugs. This review focuses various aspects of lozenge formulation providing an insight to the formulation scientist on novel application of lozenge drug delivery system.
