Unique in that it has a greater effect on cerebral arteries than on other arteries. As a result, nimodipine is indicated for the improvement of neurological deficits due to spasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured congenital intracranial aneurysms in patients who are otherwise in good neurological condition following the episode. Verapamil and diltiazem are pharmacologically different from the 1, 4-DHPs in that they block sinus and AV nodal conduction. As a result, IV formulations of verapamil and diltiazem are indicated for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia PSVT ; . Verapamil can also be used orally, either alone, for prophylaxis of repetitive PSVT, or in combination with digoxin, for atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation.
By Barbara Quinn UR hospital no longer offers grapefruit on our patient menu. Not because grapefruit isn't nutritious. Like other citrus fruits, it is an excellent source of vitamin C, fibre and even contains natural substances that help lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Ironically, however, some of these same substances that render grapefruit and its juice so healthful have also been found to interfere with the action of some medications . including several that lower cholesterol levels. What we have here, say dietitians and pharmacists, is a "fooddrug" interaction an ingredient in food that interferes with the intended action of a medication. Certain active components in grapefruit and its juice hinder certain enzymes in the digestive tract that break down certain medications. As a result, these particular drugs can enter the bloodstream in higher or lower ; amounts than expected, causing serious potential side effects. Grapefruit and related foods such as Seville oranges, tangelos a grapefruit hybrid ; and lime juice have all been singled out as foods to avoid when taking medications that react with grapefruit juice. Other foods such as lemons, regular oranges, tangerines and grapefruit-flavoured sodas are on the "OK to eat" list. Here is a partial list of common medications that most experts agree should not be taken with grapefruit or its juice, and a few substitute drugs: Cholesterol-lowering medications: atorvastatin Lipitor ; , lovastatin Mevacor ; , simvastatin Zocor, Vytorin ; . Alternate drugs: pravastatin Pravachol ; , rosuvastatin Crestor ; and fluvastatin Lescol ; . Heart and blood pressure medications: cilostazol Pletal ; , felopidine Plendil ; , nifedipine Procardia, Adalat ; . Grapefruit juice does not significantly affect: amlodipine Norvasc ; , digoxin Lanoxin ; or diltiazem Cardizem ; . Sedatives and anti-seizure medications: diazepam Valium ; , triazolam Halcion ; , carbamazepine Carbatrol, Tegretol ; . Drugs in this category that do not react significantly with grapefruit juice: haloperidol Haldol ; and alprazolam Xanax ; . Antidepressants: buspirone BuSpar ; , clomipramine Anafranil ; , sertraline Zoloft ; . Allergy medications: fexofenadine Allegra ; . Experts suggest desloratadine Clarinex ; is safe. HIV drugs: saquinavir Fortovase, Invirase ; , indinavir Crixivan ; . Immunosuppressant drugs: cyclosporine Neoral, Sandimmune ; , tacrolimus Prograf ; Other no-no's with grapefruit: sildenafil Viagra ; , amiodarone Cordarone, Pacerone ; , Doses and timing matter, too. Less than 1 cup of grapefruit juice can affect the action of some medications for up to three days, according to one study. Yet the blood-thinning medication warfarin Coumadin ; does not interact significantly with grapefruit juice . unless you drink more than 24 ounces a day.
Children with severe congenital heart disease, even after surgery, may require digoxin for prolonged periods.
Seem to benefit most were more likely to harbor substantially stenotic large cerebral arteries. Hypotension in the setting of acute stroke is uncommon and should prompt a search for an underlying cause 28 ; . Such patients may benefit from intravascular volume augmentation and the use of vasopressor agents to improve cerebral perfusion pressure. However, it is important to ensure that patients undergo adequate volume resuscitation before the institution of vasopressor therapy. The favored approach is the use of intravenous electrolyte solutions such as saline or Ringer solution. It is best to avoid the use of glucosecontaining fluids because hyperglycemia can exacerbate ischemic neuronal injury 30, 31 ; . In summary, the delivery of substrates to ischemic brain tissue should be optimized. Eventually, all patients will demand an individually tailored approach to therapy based on his or her a ; premorbid blood pressure, b ; cardiac function, and c ; neurologic assessment. ARRHYTHMIAS Cardiac arrhythmias in acute stroke are seldom life-threatening. Routine monitoring in asymptomatic patients is not necessary. Arrhythmias that usually require management in the intensive care unit are new-onset atrial fibrillation with an uncontrolled ventricular rate or ventricular tachyarrhythmias. In atrial arrhythmias, a number of agents--including intravenous infusion of diltiazam or esmolol and bolus administration of metoprolol or digoxin-- can help control the ventricular rate. Aggressive magne.

Digoxin is usually taken once a day. Try to take the dose at about the same time each day. You can take digoxin either in the morning or in the evening. It is important to get the right amount of digoxin in your blood. Your doctor might ask you to have a blood test to make sure it is right. Do not stop taking digoxin unless your doctor tells you to. Always follow the instructions on the label of your medicine.
This 2-day symposium will focus on the concept of an agmatinergic system, inclusive of the receptors labeled by imidazoline ligands as well as other endogenous compounds related to agmatine. Current research on the metabolism and function of agmatine, as well as recent pharmacological and molecular studies of imidazoline binding proteins, will be discussed with a bent towards the possible therapeutic potential of this system. The symposium will occur just prior to Experimental Biology 2003, and has official satellite status through ASPET. Registration and abstract deadline is December 31, 2002.

Were tested for interference by spironolactone, canrenone, and canrenoate also a metabolite of spironolactone ; by assaying control serum with added parent drug or metabolites at concentrations ranging from 10 to 10 000 pg L. Spironolactone and canrenoate did not interfere with either RIA, hut canrenone in concentrations of 10 000 pg L and 1000 iig L resulted in apparent djgoxin values of 1.1 ig L and 0.5 ig L by the equilibrium 125J assay, and 0.5 pg L and 0.3 pg L unmeasurable ; by the sequential-saturation 1H assay. When the 1H assay was performed as an equilibrium rather than as a sequential-saturation technique, the "digoxin" values were higher, but the differences were not significant. We measured values for canrenone in serum as a result of spironolactone administration in the experimental group, using a newly developed assay that is specific for canrenone in the presence of spironolactone. We found a correlation r 0.73 ; between canrenone and "digoxin" concentrations by the equilibrium `251-RIA Table 2 and Figure 1 ; , hut interference in the `25l-RIA observed in the experimental group was substantially larger than would have been predicted from the canrenone concentrations alone. To determine whether metabolites other than canrenone were contributing to the observed interference, we extracted pooled serum from the experimental group. Canrenone would be extracted into the ether fraction under these conditions. We found that the ether extractable fraction of serum accounted for less than 20% 0.3 Mg L ; of the interference, whereas the aqueous fraction accounted for 80% 0.7 pg L ; . There was no significant correlation between either serum albumin, urea nitrogen, or creatinine and "digoxin" in either group, by either assay. Bilirubin correlated r 0.70 ; with "digoxin" in the experimental group by the `I-RIA. However, neither digoxin assay was affected by externally added hilirubin in concentrations up to 180 mg L, although the 1H assay required color-quench correction when hiliruhin concentrations exceeded 40 mg L. Therefore, the correlation between bilirubin and "digoxmn" t2IRIA interference must be indirect.
The administration of more than 10 mg of digoxin in a previously healthy adult , or more than 4 mg in a previously healthy child, or a steady- state serum concentration greater than 10 ng ml often results in cardiac arrest and epivir.

Administration's Response to the Passage of California's Proposition 215 and Arizona's Proposition 200" hereinafter "December 1996 Policy" ; . The December 1996 Policy represents the consensus of several federal departments and agencies, including the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Department of Health and Human Services. The December 1996 Policy includes a series of specific threats to physicians: a ; Threats to revoke physicians' licenses to prescribe drugs. In order to prescribe medication, physicians need to be registered and to obtain a license from the Drug Enforcement Administration. The December 1996 Policy states that "a practitioner's action of recommending or prescribing Schedule I controlled substances is not consistent with the 'public interest' as that phrase is used in the federal Controlled Substances Act ; and will lead to administrative action by the Drug Enforcement Administration to revoke the practitioner's registration." The revocation of a physician's DEA registration would.
