AGA
APPROPRIATE FOR GESTATIONAL AGE
~A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain, including menstrual
~works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX)
~ Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps
~ increases the risk of ulcers and bleeding.
Mefenamic Acid
~ cephalosporin antibiotic commonly used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections.
~ works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis
~ Pain, swelling, or inflammation, especially with IM injections.
~ Should be used cautiously in patients with pre-existing gallbladder or biliary tract diseases

NEWBORN SCREENING
~ a widely used analgesic and antipyretic medication. It is primarily used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain and fever.
~ Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system (CNS)
~ Elevated liver enzymes
~ Malnourished patients may have reduced glutathione stores, making them more vulnerable to NAPQI-induced liver damage.
Paracetamol
~ opioid analgesic used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain.
~ binds to the mu-opioid receptors, producing analgesia similar to other opioids
~ Due to its CNS effects, tramadol can cause sedation and drowsiness.
~ Should be used cautiously or avoided in patients with epilepsy or a history of seizures.
Tramadol
~ An antifibrinolytic agent widely used to prevent and treat excessive bleeding in various medical settings
~ works by inhibiting the activation of plasminogen to plasmin
~ Rapid IV administration of TXA can cause hypotension
~ TXA should not be used in patients with a history of or current thromboembolic disorders
Tranexamic Acid
~ a well-established role in treating chronic respiratory conditions, acetaminophen overdose, and as a supportive therapy
~ NAC breaks down disulfide bonds in mucoproteins, reducing mucus viscosity and improving clearance from the respiratory tract
~ but may cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal distress.

IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA
~ a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) commonly used to treat acid-related gastrointestinal conditions
~ Suppresses the final step in gastric acid production
~ but may cause confusion, drowsiness, blurred vision
Omeprazole
~ a histamine analog commonly used to treat Ménière’s disease and vertigo
~ acts as a partial histamine H1 receptor agonist and a strong antagonist at the H3 receptors
~ Side effects: Asthma and Peptic Ulcer
Betahistine
~ Commonly used as an electrolyte replenisher to treat or prevent low blood levels of potassium
~ works by replenishing the body’s potassium levels.
~ Side effects: Gastrointestinal Irritation and Hyperkalemia

LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT
~ oral cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections and is particularly effective against certain gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
~ works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis
~ contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to cephalosporins or penicillins.
Cefuroxime Axetil
~ a lincosamide antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections
~ inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit
~ Caution is advised in patients with a history of colitis, particularly antibiotic-associated colitis.
Clindamycin
a xanthine derivative primarily used as a bronchodilator for the treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
~ It inhibits adenosine receptors, which are involved in bronchoconstriction
~ Side effects: GI Disturbances and Nervous system effects
Doxofylline
a non-pathogenic, spore-forming bacterium commonly used as a probiotic.
~ It helps restore the balance of gut microbiota
~ Side Effects: GI Disturbances, bloating
Bacillus Clausii
CHOLELITHIASIS
GALLSTONES
~ a derivative of the amino acid cysteine and is widely used as a mucolytic agent and a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione
