Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics01:23

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

1.6K
Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla.  Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

322
Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

1.6K
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Stimulants01:29

Stimulants

1.2K
Stimulants are substances that enhance neural activity and elevate dopamine levels in the brain, leading to their highly addictive nature. These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, caffeine, and nicotine, each with distinct mechanisms of action and varied health implications.
Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...

Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants

2.3K

Ganglionic stimulants activate NM nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia, falling into two categories: nicotine mimetics [e.g., lobeline, dimethylpiperazine, tetramethylammonium] and muscarinic receptor agonists [e.g., muscarine, methacholine]. The first category's action is rapid and blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, while the second category's action is delayed and blocked by atropine-like agents. Nicotine, an alkaloid, affects the heart rate by stimulating...

[SMOKING CESSATION IN PREGNANCY].

Gilles Grangé, Ivan Berlin

    La Revue Du Praticien
    |December 2, 2015
    PubMed
    Summary

    Smoking during pregnancy, a leading cause of perinatal morbidity, sees many women quit spontaneously. Healthcare provider support and spousal involvement are crucial for aiding cessation efforts, with nicotine replacement therapy used judiciously.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Public Health
    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • Smoking during pregnancy is a significant, preventable cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality.
    • Approximately half of pregnant smokers attempt to quit, with many achieving cessation by delivery.
    • Spontaneous cessation often occurs upon pregnancy confirmation, highlighting the influence of psychological factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of healthcare professional interventions on smoking cessation during pregnancy.
    • To emphasize the importance of patient support and destigmatization in smoking cessation efforts.
    • To explore the role of spousal involvement and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in supporting pregnant smokers.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and clinical observations on smoking cessation in pregnant populations.

  • Analysis of factors influencing spontaneous cessation and the impact of professional guidance.
  • Consideration of NRT as an adjunct to behavioral support for reducing cigarette consumption.

    • Main Results:

    • While spontaneous cessation is common, professional interventions show a modest but real positive effect.
    • Patient-centered care, free from guilt, and involving the spouse can create an enabling environment for cessation.
    • Nicotine replacement therapy can be effective in reducing consumption when used to maintain medical contact and support cessation.

    Conclusions:

    • Healthcare providers should actively support pregnant smokers, fostering an environment free from guilt.
    • Integrated support systems, including partners, are vital for successful smoking cessation during pregnancy.
    • Judicious use of nicotine replacement therapy can aid in reducing smoking consumption and maintaining patient engagement in care.
