AUVI-Q vs LABETALOL

14M. 125 lbs. 5’10”. White. No drugs/drinking/smoking besides 1 over-the-counter allergy pill each day for seasonal allergies. I’m allergic to all (common) fruit, trees, grass, and nuts. About 10-15 minutes ago I ate banana waffles, and the mix contained nuts such as cashews, pistachios, and other c

Provider prescribed EpiPen Jr (0.15 mg) for a 6-month-old infant weighing 18.8 lbs (~8.5 kg). Lexidrug recommends 0.1 mg IM/SQ for 7.5–15 kg, while AAP suggests 0.15 mg IM for 7.5–25 kg (limited data). I called and spoke with the nurse, who confirmed the doctor is okay with the 0.15 mg dose, noting

I know that Walgreens has a deal to dispense them, but I'm wondering if any insurance companies are actually paying the $4500 per package they try and get.

Of course pushing a big copay discount card as well. It appears the new model is the Auvi-Q one, let's just make the price an insanely high amount (even compared to what they have been), and just take whatever we can get from the insurance companies.

I'm 24/F/Caucasian with history of autoimmune diseases. I have Hashimoto's, Type 1 Diabetes, and Systematic Lupus (currently in remission). I broke out in itchy hives about a month back, went to my GP, and she ordered an allergy blood panel along with steroids. Test came back positive only for eggs.

Hi all. 25F Will include history and medications after descriptions. During severe occipital nueralgia flare ups, I will have these convulsions. They feel like spasms in just my abdominal, like crunches. My pcp doesn’t think it’s worth it to find out what it is because we’ve already had a clear EEG

Labetalol changes its affinity for alpha and beta receptors based on the route that it is administered. I am wondering if there are other drugs out there that have different pharmacology based on their route of administration?

Am I working at the last pharmacy in the country that does this? I don't mind getting used to it because I know it's the preference of the elderly pharmacy owner, and it's a great place to work. I just started there and there is enough to learn without having to look up the brand name for trihexyph

I recently finished my rotation on a medicine ward. On the last day, I was on rounds with the residents/med students and we had a pregnant lady admitted for acute hepatitis. They talked about potential causes and investigations, we told them to be careful about upping her morphine too much due to he

I am losing my mind over this. Would it be labetalol, NTG, or nicardipine? I thought yoy wpuld not use labetalol because it is a beta blocker, and not use NTG bc it woukd lower BP too quickly. so I picked nicardipine. however labetalol has both alpha and beta blocking so apparently that was the answ

Beta blockers are still prescribed as monotherapy for hypertension, especially in older patients who have been on them for many years. The kinetics of, say, metoprolol succinate are quite different from IV metoprolol, and runs of bradycardia are an issue with the latter in a patient of normal heart

Does anyone have a good potency analogy to explain that drug strengths cannot be directly compared to other drugs? I had a patient that was afraid to take labetalol 200mg because it was “higher than 10mg of lisinopril.” I’m admittedly really bad at translating stuff into layman’s terms and I did th

Yeah so thats pretty much it, anyone know where i can find stuff abt the drug discovery process for labetalol? Much appreciated
