Q

MTX+FOLIC ACID SEPARATE DAYS?

A

Give folic acid to reduce side-effects. Folic acid decreases mucosal and gastrointestinal side-effects of methotrexate and may prevent hepatotoxicity; there is no evidence of a reduction in haematological side-effects.

Withdraw treatment if ulcerative stomatitis develops—may be first sign of gastro-intestinal toxicity.

Treatment with folinic acid (as calcium folinate) may be required in acute toxicity.

Q

STATIN MONITORING?

A

Before starting treatment with statins, at least one full lipid profile (non-fasting) should be measured, including total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol (calculated as total cholesterol minus HDL-cholesterol), and triglyceride concentrations, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and renal function should also be assessed.

Liver function
There is little information available on a rational approach to liver-function monitoring; however, NICE suggests that liver enzymes should be measured before treatment, and repeated within 3 months and at 12 months of starting treatment, unless indicated at other times by signs or symptoms suggestive of hepatotoxicity (NICE clinical guideline 181 (July 2014). Lipid Modification—Cardiovascular risk assessment and the modification of blood lipids for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease).

Those with serum transaminases that are raised, but less than 3 times the upper limit of the reference range, should not be routinely excluded from statin therapy. Those with serum transaminases of more than 3 times the upper limit of the reference range should discontinue statin therapy.

Creatine kinase
Before initiation of statin treatment, creatine kinase concentration should be measured in patients who have had persistent, generalised, unexplained muscle pain (whether associated or not with previous lipid-regulating drugs); if the concentration is more than 5 times the upper limit of normal, a repeat measurement should be taken after 7 days. If the repeat concentration remains above 5 times the upper limit, statin treatment should not be started; if concentrations are still raised but less than 5 times the upper limit, the statin should be started at a lower dose.

Diabetes
Patients at high risk of diabetes mellitus should have fasting blood-glucose concentration or HbA1C checked before starting statin treatment, and then repeated after 3 months.

RIVAROXABAN DOSE ADJUSTMENTS?

A

When used for Treatment of deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism:
Following the first 21 days of treatment for deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, the usual dose of 20 mg once daily can be given, but consider reducing to 15 mg once daily if creatinine clearance 15–49 mL/minute and the risk of bleeding outweighs the risk of recurrent deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.

When used for Prophylaxis of recurrent deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism:
When the recommended dose is 20 mg once daily, consider reducing to 15 mg once daily if creatinine clearance 15–49 mL/minute and the risk of bleeding outweighs the risk of recurrent deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.

When used for Prophylaxis of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation:
Reduce dose to 15 mg once daily if creatinine clearance 15–49 mL/minute.

Q

patients with COPD give oxygen at 88-92 % in acute asthma or COPD because of the risk of sending them into hypercapnic drive (normal patients it’s usually 98% o2 I think something quite high)
Exacerbations of COPD: Target = 88-92%
Acute asthma: Target = 94-98% (if not at risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure)Digoxin
Monitor: K+, Mg2+, Ca2+. Toxicity increased by hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia and hypercalcaemia, RF, plasma digoxin.
Cardiac arrhythmias, weakness, lethargy, dizzy, headache, confusion, nausea, anorexia, diarrhoea, blurred or yellow vision
Overdose: more likely 1.5-3 mcg/litre

Q

WHOOPING COUGH MANAGEMENT?

A

Prescribe clarithromycin for infants less than 1 month of age.
Prescribe azithromycin or clarithromycin for children aged 1 month or older, and non-pregnant adults.
Prescribe erythromycin for pregnant women.
From 36 weeks’ gestation, this is recommended to reduce the risk of transmission to the newborn baby.
Prior to this, it is likely to be of clinical benefit for the woman only if administered within the first 21 days of the illness, or may be advised if she is likely to come into close contact with a person from a vulnerable group.
Prescribe co-trimoxazole if macrolides are contraindicated or not tolerated (off-label indication). However, co-trimoxazole is contraindicated during pregnancy, and is not licensed for use in infants younger than six weeks of age.
For full information on dosing regimens, contraindications, and adverse effects of antibiotics, see the section on Prescribing information.

A

Drugs that may cause or exacerbate the symptoms of GORD, such as alpha-blockers, anticholinergics, benzodiazepines, beta-blockers, bisphosphonates, calcium-channel blockers, corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nitrates, theophyllines, and tricyclic antidepressants should be reviewed

568
Q

Mirtazapine is a presynaptic alpha2-adrenoreceptor antagonist. It is given at bedtime due to its sedating effect.

Citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine and sertraline are all SSRI drugs. They are not usually associated with sedating effects.

569
Q

Mrs R is taking the DMARD sulfasalazine, which acts as an immunosuppressant. Yellow fever is a live vaccine and should therefore be avoided in all patients taking DMARDS due to the increased risk of possibly life-threatening generalised infections. Specialist advice must always be sought in such situations.
