Avatar n tn Most drugs used for short term in people with non-cirrhotic livers are ok. i would avoid aspirin like drugs though. Paracetamol is good.
Avatar m tn Treatment of a serious paracetamol overdose is done by administration of an antidote, which can defeat and combat the toxic effects of the overdose. Seek immediate medical care to make sure you haven't taken an overdose. Seek help for your depression or other mental issues. Good luck.

Avatar f tn To reduce the risk of an error, prescribers should print all orders for Lanoxin and levothyroxine and include the purpose for each drug on all prescriptions. Both the mg dose and the mcg conversion should be listed in all levothyroxine orders and on product labels, such as "levothyroxine 100 mcg (0.1 mg)" or "Synthroid 0.1 mg (100 mcg).
Avatar n tn She prescribed Ferrous Sulfates as source of my iron for blood oxygen. Also, she told me to conitnue avoiding caffeine and I did. Lanoxin was given.I just noticed that I had once a week SVT and when ever i took Lanoxin with full stoamch, SVT stopped after 11 hrs. ( that happened twice ). One time I had SVT and i took Lanoxin on an empty stomach and SVT stopped after an hour. Yesterday, I had SVT again. I took Lanoxin after eating my snacks and the SVT stopped after 6 hrs.
Avatar n tn Digoxin is the generic for Lanoxin, so they are the same (just in case you are taking both). Coreg is a great beta blocker, so that should really help the fast heartbeat and blood pressure. Lanoxin helps the heart to beat stronger and get a better fill. Lanoxin will strengthen the heart muscle. Sounds like the medications are really improving your heart. That is really great news!! Yes, your heart can get better.
Avatar n tn Is your uncle taking Lanoxin (heart medication)? Lanoxin has shown to increase the pumping strength. My father had a weak heart beat and after being on Lanoxin for about 10 years now, he's heart beat is strong (very strong per taking his pulse). Ask your uncle's doctor about Lanoxin.
Avatar f tn If the patient ever passes out and can not be awakened, it might be a methadone overdose and patient needs the antidote. (I always wished I had a life alert alarm that would alert me if someone stopped breathing so I could quickly react and save them.) There are new ways of treating certain types of chronic pain, especially if patient has physically recovered but still feels pain. See book chapter 1 of Norman Doidge, M.D.

329165 tn?1515471990 I am 6 1/2 weeks post-op after OHS to repair Mitral valve (Annuluplasty). Since the op I have a resting HR of 120+ and low BP (ave 90/60). Went to Cardio for 6 weeks check-up and he prescribed LANOXIN 0,25mg with high starting dosage (had to take 4 tabs the 1st day). It is now 7 days later and still no improvement. My HR is still fast and BP low and I now have extra systoles/irregular HR. Should I stop using LANOXIN and switch to SOTACOR (I used it pre-op). I had Ablation done in Nov.
603838 tn?1238534975 They are still doing tests to check for blood clots or anything like that, but so far they think it was an accidental overdose on methadone. The MRI's and CT scans have shown 6 areas of brain damage (3 on each side) one each in the frontal, middle, and rear... She has since awoken from the "coma" and been removed off the ventilator (all in about 4 days). She remembers her family and friends but she has significant involuntary movements of her arms.
Avatar n tn Beta blockers like metoprolol and ACE inhibitors like benazepril have been been shown to be of value in patients with congestive heart failure as well as for hypertension. Simvastatin is of value for patients with both diabetes and heart disease. Talk to your doctor and changes can be made to minimize the side effects.
Avatar n tn Also, I researched Lanoxin and that sounds like it may be a drug suitable for him. Any advice you may have would be great thanks.

Avatar n tn i know that my daughters cardiologist at the univ of mich had told us when they put her on lanoxin that the risks of amiodarone in her case made her not a good candidate for it. i do know that many have taken it for short periods and it seemed to help, but i believe it generally not taken long term as lanoxin or digoxin is hope my little bit helps and good luck....... dawn p.s.
Avatar f tn Then doctors will pump the stomach, aiming to remove all of the acetaminophen. Likewise they might give the patient N-acetylcysteine, or NAC, which is an antidote for acetaminophen overdose and can be taken orally. The following 12 - 24 hours is called the latent phase. The patient will feel fine and all symptoms will completely disappear. Some patients may experience less frequent urination. Although it seems the body is doing fine, it is during this phase that the liver damage begins.
Avatar f tn The medications really helps and are best. My dad was taking Lanoxin to strength his heart pump and I took his pulse the other day and was it strong. There was quite a change that I felt from before he started taking it. I am glad to hear that you are improving and feeling better. Take care.
