Antihistamines used Prompt control of in the treatment of anxiety or agitation allergy act by competing with histamine for H 1receptor sites on effector cells. They thereby prevent, but do not reverse, responses mediated by histamine alone. Antihistamines antagonize, in varying degrees, most of the pharmacological effects of histamine, including urticaria and pruritus. Also, the anticholinergic actions of most antihistamines provide a drying effect on the nasal mucosa.

DRUG ORDER (Generic name, brand name, classification, dosage, route, frequency) G: Cetirizine B: Virlix C: Anti-histamine D: 1ml R: oral F:O.D
MECHANISM OF ACTION A potent antihistamine with a low potential drowsiness at pharmacologic dosage. It is a selective H1 antagonist with neglible effects on other receptors. Inhibits the histanine mediated early prior of the allergic reaction and also reduces the migration of inflammatory cells.
INDICATIONS
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DRUG Drowsiness, dizziness, agitation, dry mouth, headache.
NURSING RESPONSIBILITIE S/ PRECAUTIONS Patient are advised not to exceed the recommended dose if drving or operating machinery.
Treatment of perennial rhinnitis, seasonal allergic rhinnitis, chronic idiopathic urticaria.

DRUG ORDER (Generic name, brand name, classification, dosage, route, frequency) G: asmalin B: Pediatrica C: Antiasthmatic D: 1 neb R: inhaler F: b.i.d
MECHANISM OF ACTION beta(2)-adrenergic agonist. It stimulates beta(2)-adrenergic receptors. Binding of asmalin to beta(2)receptors in the lungs results in relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles.
INDICATIONS
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DRUG Hypertension, tachycardia, tremors, dizziness, nervousness, headache, bronchospasm, cough, nausea, GI discomfort & throat irritation. View ADR Monitoring Website
NURSING RESPONSIBILITIE S/ PRECAUTIONS Chest tapping after the nebulization .

NURSING RESPONSIBILITIE S/ PRECAUTIONS Should be taken with food
For skin infection Fusidic acid disrupts translocation of peptide subunits and elongating the peptide chain of susceptible bacteria, thus inhibiting protein synthesis.
Hypersensitivity to fusidic acid and Hepatic disease; monitor liver function. Neonates; pregnancy, lactation.
DRUG ORDER (Generic name, brand name, classification, dosage, route, frequency) G: cefuroxime B: betcef C: cephlosporine D: 2.5 ml R: p.o F: t.i.d
MECHANISM OF ACTION Bactericidal: inhibits synthesis of bacterial cell wall, causing cell death.
INDICATIONS
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DRUG Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting
NURSING RESPONSIBILITIE S/ PRECAUTIONS Special precaution with Renal impairment. Prolonged use & high-dose therapy.
Treatment of susceptible infections e.g. lower resp. tract

DRUG ORDER (Generic name, brand name, classification, dosage, route, frequency) G: cefixime B: Cifixmycin cap C: cephalosporin D: 1.5 ml R: p.o F: b.i.d
MECHANISM OF ACTION Cefixime binds to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting biosynthesis and arresting cell wall assembly resulting in bacterial cell death.
INDICATIONS
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DRUG Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain; headache, dizziness, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia.
NURSING RESPONSIBILITIE S/ PRECAUTIONS Should be taken with food
