Tiotropium nursing implications
Common Questions and Answers about Tiotropium nursing implications
spiriva
I take Spiriva Respimat (tiotropium bromide) 2.5 mcg/actuation, and Wixela (fluticasone propionate salmeterol inhalation powder) for my COPD. Is there a sequence I should be taking these meds in? Is there a time frame I should use between the two meds?
Yes, there are. Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) is one and Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate) another. Each is a bronchodilator and capable of giving good relief of shortness of breath.
If from the lungs, you could be experiencing Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) withdrawal symptoms, depending on what type of lung problem was being treated with the Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder). These symptoms, along with your arms feeling weak and heavy, could all be due to anxiety, but could also be symptoms of more serious disease of the heart or lungs. For that reason, you do need to see your doctor to sort this out.
This would include a long-acting bronchodilator, such as Serevent® Inhalation Aerosol (salmeterol xinafoate), Foradil® Aerolizer™ (formoterol fumarate inhalation powder) or Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) along with an inhaled steroid. Another potentially helpful, oral medicine is called theophylline. Your doctor may also want to prescribe this.
You should have your blood oxygen level checked, in case it is low and you would need supplemental oxygen.
A 68 year-old white male presenting with pectus excavatum and blood pressure that averages 155/85 . What implications may be encountered regarding dysfunctional heart functions ?
Spiriva® HandiHaler® (tiotropium bromide inhalation powder) has a maximum duration of action of about 36 hours. To be safe, you would want to be off the medicine for 48 to 72 hours before the spirometry. It would have been preferable, but not mandatory to do the pulmonary function tests (PFTs) at the time the diagnosis of chronic lung disease was made especially if the diagnosis was unequivocal. The other important question would be, “Why 3 CT scans, presumably of your lungs, in 16 months?
Cause of low DLCO and drop in it from test 1 to test 1? I am currently on tiotropium bromide and salmeterol/fluticasone propionate. My reason for posting this is one doc is pessimistic and the other highly optimistic.
Thank you.
Spiriva contains tiotropium bromide which is an anticholinergic bronchodilator. So, yes, both have action against acetylcholine recptors and both are efefctive bronchodilators. You can take any one of them.
Indacaterol is an ultra-long-acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist. So, it gives bronchodialation for a much longer time. It is a more recent drug so long term efficacy data are not available. However, available data does show a marked benefit in individuals with COPD.

What are the implications of an enlarged left atrium found on echocardiography

We live in Illinois and my only options are to quit my job to care for her and loose everything we have including house, or place her in a nursing home which I cannot even bear thinking about. It seems that the government would actually SAVE money by paying a family caregiver (I am also a Registered Respiratory Therapist) rather than paying for the cost of a nursing home. Any such programs or grants out there for this type of thing in the state of Illinois?
t scream or cry when its excruciating i often felt that the nursing staff and doctors thought i was making it up. I'm not sure if this is right diagnoses however don't know much about cysts etc could someone please tell me if these symptoms are normal shud i get a second opinion?
Do the implications of the surgery (including, but not limited to, the degree of voice/pitch change, the likelihood of developing hypernasal speech) change because I'm an adult?
The surgery will be 3/4 months away, so I have a lot of time to figure all of this out. I also assume that these issues will be discussed in the preliminary appointment, but I'd like to get on top of this and be fully aware of the implications well in advance.
Thank you!
Also where and who do I see like a specialist in abuja Nigeria.
I am a ftm and have less than 12 weeks to go and need a new bra. I was considering just getting a good nursing bra, since I'll be needing one anyway. Where is a good place to find a nursing bra and are there any brands or types that you moms prefer?
I recently had a friend tell me nursing bras with wire in them cuts off ur milk supply....I was wondering if thats true I like wire bras bc I have bigger boobs and it gives them shape but if it will cut off milk supply I dont want them....
I am looking for some reasonably priced nursing bras. My problem is that I have ridiculously large and out of control breasts. Pre pregnancy cup size was 36 DD. My cup size has already increased significantly, I'm not sure how much exactly I just know that nothing fits and i cannot seem to find anything that does. The largest I have found so far is 42 DD and that is still too small.
