  • SPIRONOLACTONE Spironolactone – Oral (Common Brand Name
    SPIRONOLACTONE Spironolactone – oral (common brand name: Aldactone) Uses: Spironolactone is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is also used to treat swelling (edema) caused by certain conditions (e.g., congestive heart failure) by removing excess fluid and improving symptoms such as breathing problems. This medication is also used to treat low potassium levels and conditions in which the body is making too much of a natural chemical (aldosterone). Spironolactone is known as a “water pill” (potassium-sparing diuretic). Other uses: This medication has also been used to treat acne in women, female pattern hair loss, and excessive hair growth (hirsutism), especially in women with polycystic ovary disease. Side effects: Drowsiness, lightheadedness, stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or headache may occur. To minimize lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur; dizziness, increased thirst, change in the amount of urine, mental/mood chances, unusual fatigue/weakness, muscle spasms, menstrual period changes, sexual function problems. This medication may lead to high levels of potassium, especially in patients with kidney problems. If not treated, very high potassium levels can be fatal. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following unlikely but serious side effects: slow/irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness. Precautions: Before taking spironolactone, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies.

Sensory symptoms include neuropathic pain, paraesthesia, and numbness and usually spread in a glove-and-stocking distribution. At present, there are no effective medications to treat or prevent CIPN, and the mechanisms by which symptoms are induced have not been fully elucidated. Paclitaxel (PTX) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic that induces neuropathy in a high percentage of patients. The broad aim of this thesis was to establish a model of CIPN in vitro and in vivo and test clinically approved drugs for potential neuroprotective effects. Since the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) has been implicated in CIPN, we cultured dissociated primary DRG neurons from 5-week-old C57BL/6 mice and treated them with PTX to observe neurotoxic effects.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Ketamine is a broadly used anaesthetic for analgosedation. Accumulating clinical evidence shows that ketamine causes pulmonary edema with unknown mechanisms. We measured the effects of ketamine on alveolar fluid clearance in human lung lobes ex vivo. Our results showed that intratracheal instillation of ketamine markedly decreased the reabsorption of 5% bovine serum albumin instillate. In the presence of amiloride (a specific ENaC blocker), fluid resolution was not further decreased, suggesting that ketamine could decrease amiloride-sensitive fraction of AFC associated with ENaC.

    AMILORIDE HYDROCHLORIDE AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE- amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide tablet Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. ---------- Amiloride Hydrochloride and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets USP 5 mg/50 mg Rx only DESCRIPTION Amiloride Hydrochloride and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets USP combine the potassium-conserving action of amiloride hydrochloride with the natriuretic action of hydrochlorothiazide. Amiloride HCl, USP is designated chemically as N-amidino-3,5,-diamino-6-chloropyrazine- carboxamide monohydrochloride dihydrate and its structural formula is: C6H8CIN7O•HCl•2H2O M.W. 302.12 Hydrochlorothiazide, USP is designated chemically as 6-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1, 2, 4-benzo- thiadiazine-7-sulfonamide 1, 1-dioxide. Its structural formula is: C7H8CIN3O4 S2 M.W. 297.74 It is a white, or practically white, crystalline powder which is slightly soluble in water, but freely soluble in sodium hydroxide solution. Each tablet, for oral administration, contains 5 mg of amiloride hydrochloride, USP (calculated on the anhydrous basis) and 50 mg of hydrochlorothiazide, USP. Inactive Ingredients: Croscarmellose sodium, D&C yellow no. 10 (aluminum lake), lactose monohydrate, magnesium oxide, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide tablets provide diuretic and antihypertensive activity (principally due to the hydrochlorothiazide component), while acting through the amiloride component to prevent the excessive potassium loss that may occur in patients receiving a thiazide diuretic. Due to its amiloride component, the urinary excretion of magnesium is less with amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide than with a thiazide or loop diuretic used alone (see PRECAUTIONS). The onset of the diuretic action of this product is within 1 to 2 hours and this action appears to be sustained for approximately 24 hours.
