Dosage Regimen: Multiple Oral Dosage

208
Understanding how a drug's concentration fluctuates within the body over time is crucial in pharmacokinetics, particularly with multiple oral doses. A graphical representation of multiple oral dosages provides insight into these dynamics. Typical accumulation curves of a drug's concentration in the body reveal a sawtooth pattern, indicating periodic peaks and troughs correlating with each dose administration and the drug's subsequent elimination.The plasma concentration at any time during an...

Local Anesthetics: Common Agents and Their Applications

867
Local anesthetics (LAs) are commonly used for various applications in medical and dental procedures. Some of the common agents used are cocaine, lidocaine, and bupivacaine.
Cocaine is an ester of benzoic acid and methylecgogine. It is used to anesthetize and vasoconstrict locally. Currently, it is used primarily for topical applications. It is beneficial for surgeries on the upper respiratory tract, providing anesthesia and shrinking the mucosa. Cocaine in the form of cocaine hydrochloride is...

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

4.3K
A drug dosage regimen describes the specific instructions and schedule for administering a drug to a patient. It considers factors such as drug dosage, frequency, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Designing an appropriate dosage regimen for a patient aims to achieve a target drug concentration at the site of action.
Typically, the starting dose and dosing interval are guided by the manufacturer's recommendations based on clinical trials conducted during and after drug...

Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids

1.5K
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are anti-inflammatory drugs used primarily in treating persistent asthma and providing long-term maintenance. They target the bronchial mucosa, the lining of the airways, to control inflammation, a critical factor in asthma progression and exacerbation.
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes

694
Drug delivery methods like oral inhalation, nasal sprays, transdermal patches, eye drops, intravitreal injection,  and rectal administration provide localized effects with reduced toxicity.
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
Transdermal patches transport drugs...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids

413
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Superpotent topical steroids for psoriasis can cause skin issues like atrophy and infections. Careful monitoring of dosage and duration is essential to prevent side effects and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Superpotent topical steroids are potent treatments for psoriasis and other steroid-responsive dermatoses.
  • Their use can lead to significant local and systemic adverse effects if not managed properly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the potential side effects of superpotent topical steroids.
  • To provide guidance on the safe application and monitoring of these treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of known side effects associated with superpotent topical steroid use.
  • Guidelines for appropriate application and monitoring based on clinical evidence.

Main Results:

  • Local cutaneous side effects include atrophy, steroid acne, perioral dermatitis, hypopigmentation, hypertrichosis, and superinfections.
  • Systemic side effects may involve suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

Conclusions:

  • Superpotent topical steroids require careful monitoring of quantity and duration.
  • Avoidance of occlusion, facial application, flexural areas, and use in children is recommended to minimize risks.
