If you miss a dose of Nitroglycerin Patch, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once. When used for long periods of time without a break, some people develop a physical need to continue taking Nitroglycerin Patch. This is known as physical DEPENDENCE. Do not suddenly stop taking Nitroglycerin Patch without your doctor's approval.
The nurse take a blood sample for the predonations screening tests. She used a new needle, new vacutainer, but a REUSABLE VACUTAINER HOLDER!. I didn`t saw any blood spot inside or outside the vacuntainer holder, but who knows..
The predonations screening test was negative for all test such HIV, Hep C, Hep B, Treponema Pallidum. Also, the blood collection kit was new !
I still had stable angina every time I did some for of cardio activity or is I ate something with sodium. I started using Nitroglycerin patches and even have the pills just in case my angina episode occurs.
I had a date and I read online that you can't take viagra and any nitrates cause it can drop your blood pressure really low. So I stopped using my nitroglycerin for about 48 hours so I can take the Viagra.
Hi, I did a blood collection in a Canadian clinic, the tube holder is not single use, will I have the possibility infect hiv?
ed is correct nitro dilates vessels.
I take a nitrate (isosorbide) for more than 6 years 3 times before going to gym for workout. My blood pressure does not drop between intervals...in fact I was told to have intervals of nitrate free period. It is true, nitro dilates the coronary vessels and prevents angina (chest pain). The patch should only be worn for up to 12 to 14 hours a day, or as directed by your doctor, but continued use with no interruptions can cause a tolerance for drug....
I only take isosorbide prior to a workout, and nitro when engaged in an activity that brings on angina. I understand your doctors are suggesting taking isosorbide daily as aschemia does not always produce angina even though the heart cells are not getting sufficient blood supply. This can lead to a silent heart attack so the medication is recommended continuously whether there is angina or not and older people in general are likely to have a silent heart attack.
The pain lasts anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. I have been prescribed nitroglycerin to take as needed for chest pain and this medicine surely helps. I've had several EKGs and cardiac enzymes done which were all normal. I also had a threadmill/stress test done which was normal. My cardiologist thinks the the probability of me having an occluded/blocked coronary artery is very low.
I am not sure if this suppose one time use holder has any different from other clinic reusable holder. So, if this one time use holder was accidently reused and it had contaminated before used one me, does it put any risk on me? I didn’t pay any attention that time and don’t remember saw anything. Now it only 8 days, I don’t want going through another 12 weeks. I did search old posts, reuse holders seems no one was marked “do not reuse”. Please tell me (1). Do I have any risk? Why?
I WENT to a barber shop for shaving. He change the Blade of Holder and he cleaned the Holder by a towel nicely. He cut my skin very little like less than 0.2mm. Can hiv transmitted this way?? cut was very very tinny...
SO BLADE WAS NEW AND holder cleaned by towel nicely.
They use VACCUM containers for blood draw. I did see the guy opening a fresh needle and putting it on the holder.Then he put the holder on the table and was searching for the rubber string which they tie on the arm before the blood draw.while searching for the string in his bag he took out another holder from his bag and also the string.he took my blood and i went away.Now i dunt rem if there was any NEEDLE in the holder that he had taken out from his bag....
1. Yes, the plastic holder is the sleeve I was referring to.
2. Blood only flows out in this situation. In fact the negative pressure in the tube sucks it outward.
There is NO risk from the situation you describe
You have nothing to worry about.
in a lab in morocco i went to make a test and they re used to holder, the needle was new but the holder had some blood inside and now im scared the virus could go trow the needle untill my vain, plz help
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" might come into play here. If the President ran Holder off, what could Holder do or say to taint the President's image?
The doctor said the left heart was okay but found a narrowing in the right heart which caused coronary spasms during the test. IV nitroglycerin during the test stopped the spasms and dilated the vessel. He did not mention any other problems and recommended sublingual nitroglycerin to treat the spasms as they occur.
