Nicoderm anti-smoking aid.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ashlynn @ 9:37 am

Nicoderm is available in various forms such as flavored chewing gum, lozenge, or a skin patch. It helps you to quit smoking and also reduces your desire for tobacco.

Special Warnings

The patch is for external use only. Children, pregnant women, and nonsmokers should not use nicotine gum or patches because of harmful effects.

Do not take Nicoderm if you continue to smoke or chew tobacco, use snuff, use a nicotine patch or other nicotine-containing products, or if you are allergic to the adhesive tape.

How Nicoderm controls smoking urges

When you inhale a cigarette, tar particles carry nicotine to your lungs, where it’s absorbed. Blood sweeps the nicotine from blood vessels in your lungs to your heart, which pumps it through the arteries to the brain and the rest of your body.

This entire process takes around eight seconds and you start feeling alert, less irritable, less Aggressive. No wonder smoking feels so good, and giving it up is so difficult.

Nicoderm works by partially replacing the nicotine derived from tobacco to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This allows you to gradually do away with your need for cigarettes.

Before using Nicoderm

  • Inform your doctor if you are developing an allergic reaction because of some ingredients that is present in Nicoderm.
  • If you are pregnant, planning to be pregnant or breastfeeding then consult your doctor before using Nicoderm.

Having ear wax problems? Try Cerumenex

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: Cerumenex, ear wax treatment, loosen earwax, removal of ear wax — Ashlynn @ 10:20 am

Cerumenex is a ceruminolytic agent used to break down and loosen earwax that has built up inside the ear canal. It contains an emulsion that breaks down the ear’s natural oils.

How to use Cerumenex

For adults: gently pull the earlobe up and back to straighten the ear canal. For children: gently pull the earlobe down and back to straighten the ear canal.

Lie down or tilt your head so that the affected ear faces up. Drop the medicine into the ear canal. Keep the ear facing up for several minutes so the medicine can run to the bottom of the ear canal.

If you have difficulty keeping the medicine in your ear, ask your doctor about using a clean cotton plug in your ear. Allow solution to remain in the ear for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove cotton and gently flush ear with lukewarm water using a soft rubber ear syringe.

If the first use of this medicine does not remove the earwax, you may repeat the procedure one time. If this medicine spills on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water.

To prevent germs from entering the medicine, do not touch the applicator to any surface including the ear.

Precautions

Do not use Cerumenex more often than prescribed. Do not leave in the ear for more than 30 minutes. Do not insert any type of object into the ear canal in an attempt to remove earwax. This may result in a puncture wound and permanent damage to the eardrum. If earwax is not removed after using Cerumenex, please contact your doctor.

Before Cerumenex using tell your doctor if you have a perforated (ruptured) ear drum or an ear infection. Also tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Side effects of Cerumenex

Stop taking Cerumenex if you experience any of these following side effects

  • Severe itching;
  • Burning, or irritation of the ear;
  • Crusting, or scaling of the skin around your ear.

Cilazapril

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ashlynn @ 2:59 pm

How does it work?

Cilazapril belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors. It blocks the action of a chemical in the body called angiotensin converting enzyme. Normally, this chemical produces another chemical, angiotensin II. Thus cilazapril reduces the amount of angiotensin II which has two actions. Firstly it acts on the blood vessels to make them narrow and secondly it acts on the kidney to produce less urine. As cilazapril stops the production of angiotensin II, these actions are reversed. Therefore more urine is produced by the kidneys, which results in less fluid in the blood vessels. The blood vessels also widen. The overall effect of this is a drop in blood pressure and a decrease in the workload of the heart.

What is cilazapril used for?

  • Heart failure
  • High blood pressure

Use with caution in

  • dehydration
  • history of swelling of the lips, face or tongue (angioedema)
  • kidney disease
  • narrowing of blood vessels in the extremities
  • people on a low sodium diet

Not to be used if

  • You are allergic to any of the active ingredients
  • You have disease of the blood vessels in the kidney (renovascular disease)
  • You have fluid collection in abdomen (ascites)
  • You have narrowing of the main artery of the body (aortic stenosis)
  • You are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breast feeding

Side effects of cilazapril

  • rash
  • diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain
  • dry cough
  • severe swelling of lips, face or tongue
  • dizziness
  • alteration in taste
  • difficulty in breathing due to narrowing of the airways
  • disorders of the blood, kidney or liver
