Avatar n tn If an underlying cause is not found, anticholinergic medication can help, such as atropine, scopolamine, or even benadryl. The blood in your sputum is concerning, this needs to be checked by your doctor since that does not commonly accompany sialorrhea.
Avatar f tn Meclizine is a piperazine-derivative H1-receptor antagonist. Meclizine is structurally and pharmacologically similar to buclizine, cyclizine, and hydroxyzine. It is used as an antivertigo/antiemetic agent, specifically, in the prevention and treatment of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness. Additionally, it has been used in the management of vertigo in diseases affecting the vestibular apparatus.
Avatar f tn other anticholinergic meds would include benadryl (an antihistamine, but with anticholinergic side effects) or scopolamine. In that light I might try scopolamine- skin patches are sold over the counter and are placed on the skin behind the ear-- place your right over the.... that was going to be a joke, sorry-- they don't have to be on any particular area of skin, even though many people think they go behind the ear to affect motion centers there..
1903798 tn?1333905288 I was really sick to my stomach the morning I was to fly home so I asked for NS to call in a sticker and I have been fine since (3 days now). I am just wondering if those with nausea problems have tried transderm scopolamine 1.5 mg dis. I think I am going to talk to my PCP about it tomorrow it says it is a anticholinergic agent used for preventing nausea and vomiting associted with motion sickness and recovery from anesthesia and surgery.
Avatar m tn Graves’ disease is considered an antibody-mediated autoimmune disorder. Here, stimulating TSH receptor antibodies (also known as thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins or TSI) react with the TSH receptor protein on thyroid cells, ordering these cells to produce excess thyroid hormone. While the immediate goals in treating Graves’ disease are to reduce thyroid hormone levels and lessen the effects of hyperthyroidism, the long-term goals are to heal the immune system and reduce the production of TSI.
1128565 tn?1316721143 While it is true that a certain brand of Benadryl can help for withdrawal due to it's sedative effect and action on the H1 receptor, Benadryl also have anticholinergic effect. The withdrawal is mainly due to what is called a ''anticholinergic rebound'' what you need is to rebalance your cholinergic system by providing your body/brain with extra choline & inositol (supplementing with choline and inositol to restore the depleted levels of acetylcholine).
Avatar n tn What is the best way to wean off the scopolamine patch in an elderly person? Can we use the cream instead and slowly increase the time between use?
3093770 tn?1389739126 The nature of this neurotoxicity is speculative, and there is no definitive treatment. Because animal studies suggest that IFN-alpha acts at opioid receptor sites, we gave naltrexone, a long-acting opioid antagonist, to 9 patients who had hematological malignancies and who suffered from IFN-alpha side effects. Seven of these patients experienced complete or moderate relief of side effects.
1535444 tn?1292453284 My mother just had her appointment with the specialist in allergy and what he said to her was that basically theres no specific reason for this to happen (idiopathic, as you all know) but he also mentioned that in this type of urticaria the best treatment was NOT an antihistaminic (because is ineffective) but an Immunosuppressant, similar to those use in transplanted patients but in a smaller dosage. We are new at this topic and we need all the help and advise we can get.
Avatar m tn s overarching strategy, the DPCs used in ARC-520 employ active ligand-mediated targeting specific to a receptor on hepatocytes. This approach results in high-potency knockdown of a target gene, validated in mice, rats, and non-human primates and it has demonstrated a low toxicity profile in primates enabling long term dosing. "The promotion of ARC-520 as a clinical candidate, so soon after acquiring the Roche RNAi assets, represents an important milestone for Arrowhead," said Dr.
Avatar f tn The anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) their effects are produced by the allosteric modification of a specific kind of neurotransmitter receptor, the GABAA receptor, which INCREASES the conductance of this inhibitory. So basically cannabis decreases and anti-anxiety meds increases. And i beleive this is why weed can cause you to have panic attack and anxiety if you are prone to anxiety.
Avatar m tn We found that Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ(9)-THC, the main active component of Cannabis sativa) and JWH-015 (a cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB(2)) cannabinoid receptor-selective agonist) reduced the viability of the human HCC cell lines HepG2 (human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell line) and HuH-7 (hepatocellular carcinoma cells), an effect that relied on the stimulation of CB(2) receptor.
Avatar n tn I recently went on a a 7 day cruise and wore the scopolamine patch from the first day and changed at 3 days. A total of 2 patches. I removed the patch the day I got home within 24 hours of removal I became very ill vomiting and nauseated. This continured throughout the next day. I called the Dr. and she told me to take dramamine. I remembered I had one patch left so I applied the patch again. Within 3 hours I was feeling better and that next day began to feel better.
Avatar m tn Ativan and it's action on the GABAb receptor will most likely to cause anterograde memory problems such as anterograde amnesia. This seems to be the case for you. Procyclidine is an anticholinergic drug this is also related to memory trouble. Zyprexa is an atypical antipsychotic with affinity to the GABAa recpetor which, like most antipsychotic, can cause memory problem and especially anterograde memory. A wise thing to do would be to get on a nootropic regiment.
Avatar m tn Entry inhibitors for the treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis D virus infections. Stephan Urban Department of Infectious Diseases, Molecular Virology, University Hospital Heidelberg For almost three decades after the discovery of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) the early events of infection (attachment, receptor binding and fusion) remained entirely unresolved.
Avatar n tn Tagament (cimetidine) is in a class of heartburn medications called H2 receptor blockers. These are a special type of antihistamine which are more effective in the stomach, but they do have some effect on systemic allergic reactions. I have heard of using ranitidine for this purpose more frequently. You may want to talk to her doctor about supplementing the Allegra with benadryl when she starts itching.
Avatar f tn Certain medications can directly or indirectly lead to GERD. For example, anticholinergic agents (such as those used for IBS and chronic diarrhea) can slow the muscular waves of digestion and reduce the pressure gradient in the esophagus. Similarly, codeine and other opiates slow down the action of smooth muscle tissue and affect LES tone.
Avatar n tn The decisions about further treatment will take into account what treatment she has had in the past, her overall health, the characteristics of the cancer. There is not one specific regimen used to treat hormone receptor negative and HER2 negative breast cancer. Treatments that would not be used are the hormone therapies that would be used to treat hormone receptive cancers or medications like Herceptin or lapatinib which target the HER2 receptor.
1128565 tn?1316721143 The anticholinergic rebound should be over. Try supplementing with choline and inositol to restore your acetylcholine which is causing withdrawal symptoms and B vitamin complex and fish oil too to help your brain. You must have severely depleted your acethylcholine.
747988 tn?1396536878 I did go hypo thyroid during treatment the second time, but my thyroid panel was fine after I finished treatment. However, - and I have been done since August 2012 - I still feel sluggish and have gained much weight. Still the thyroid panel says that is not the problem.
1621167 tn?1299090742 I am trying to understand some of the paperwork Ive been given from the hospital,I live in Germany and have had real problems with the language barrier.My question is regarding Receptor Status, My paperwork says, Oestrogen,Progesterone,c-erbB-2HER-2/neu negative.I understand this gives me the TNBC status, what I dont understand or know anything about is: p53 negative and Proliferation marker Ki67 ; in 50% of the tumour cell nuclei positive (high proliferation activity.
18840190 tn?1468675333 I would talk to the vet about the possibility of an immune-mediated problem and see what the treatment would be. In many cases it would consist of steroid treatment, but that can be kind of risky because dogs don't tolerate steroids nearly as well as cats do and it often gives rise to other problems involving the liver and other organs, so you have to weigh the pros agains the cons very carefully.
