EPINEPHRINE vs LABETALOL

I’ve noticed brand names often have no relevance to drug function, but also many which point towards their purpose or mechanism!

But, from what you can tell, he's still breathing and has a pulse. A rapid response nurse and a nurse from the floor confirm this. You let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief. After all, this unit was only meant to house patients who need to be monitored overnight post-surgery, anyway. A code

I work as a technician for CVS and last night a woman rushed into our pharmacy holding her child. The child was experiencing anaphylaxis due to an existing peanut allergy.

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
