Adverse effects RR Flashcards
Severe local vesicant action and tissue necrosis upon extravasation
Doxo/daunorubicin Dacarbazine Vincristine
Facial flushing + antidiuretic effects
Desmopressin (DDAVP)
In Anti-retroviral therapy (ART), hyperlipidemia is a complication; statins are used to lower lipids, but statin metabolism is inhibited by Protease inhibitors; Inc. levels of statins can then cause:
rhabdomyolysis
Acute infusion reactions including fever, chills, urticaria, headache, bronchospasm, angioedema and hypotension

iron poisoning s/s
