STOPPING A MEDICATION, THEN STARTING IT AGAIN There are several reasons why a person would stop an arthritis medicine and then want to restart it again. The most common is that the person while on the medicine experienced a.resolution of arthritis and over time stopped taking any arthritis medicine. But after months or even years free of the condition, the arthritis returned. Another reason that causes a patient to stop an arthritis drug is cost. An employer changes health insurance carriers, and the patient, an employee, finds that under the new insurance, the medication is no longer covered or raised to a higher tier requiring more co-pay than the patient can afford. The patient stops the drug, and for several months the concentration of medication in the patient's body suffices to hold off a flare of the arthritis. However, in time, the arthritis breaks through. Finally, there is the patient who had a rash or abdominal pain that he thought represented an allergic reaction to the arthritis medication, and stopped the drug. Later evaluation revealed another medicine, not the arthritis medication, was the culprit. Can these patients return to the arthritis drug and expect the same results previously achieved? The answer is not a clear yes. The arthritis does not become immune to the medication, but molecular changes that lead to inflammation, have the opportunity to develop alternative pathways that can circumvent the inhibitory effects of the arthritis medication. The doctor always needs to know when a patient stops a medicine as the physician must decide to observe the effect of cessation or initiate another drug immediately. ______QE08735201 J

Level: Beginner Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, mum column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will R e a l E s t a t e appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
