Welcome to my nursing tutorial channel! I am a Long-Term Care Nurse who loves to teach. I focus on Pharmacology videos, and plan on expanding to other nursing topics!
Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! Insulin lispro is just one example of a rapid acting insulin (bolus insulin). Other examples include Insulin aspart, Insulin glulisine, and Insulin regular. Hope that helps!
Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! That being said, leptospirosis is often treated with a penicillin antibiotic (like cloxacillin).
I was prescribed with ciprofloxacin 500mg (2x/day) and Metronidazole (3x/day) running at the same time for 10 days. Is that combination not uncommon? Isn't that too potent? I'm yet to start the regimen. I'm so worried about the combined side effects.
Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! That being said, I quickly looked through some online studies, and it appears that a combination of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole was effective in treating recurrent or refractory pouchitis, is used for treatment of mixed aerobic/anaerobic infections, and more. But again, weighing the risks/benefits for antibacterial treatment is always an important discussion to have with your healthcare provider!
I have been taking ecitalopram for 6 years. It made me feel numb with my emotions. I dont care as much about things as i normally would. I would like to discontinue but i am unable to so, since along with me being able to feel and care again come the depressive mood and rumination. I belive everything is caused by stress. Even when stressful triggers are no longer part of my life. I am addicted to these pills😢
I'm sorry to hear that you experienced some of the negative side effects of this drug. Thanks for sharing your experience with it. I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes.
Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! The answer depends greatly on many factors like the type of wound, type of infection, severity of infection, pre-existing conditions, etc. Typically these kinds of antibiotics are prescribed for approximately 1-2 weeks.
Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! I haven't seen PPIs used this way personally, but I have read online that in some cases PPIs can be used to help manage the symptoms of pill induced esophagitis. Hope that helps.
Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! However, according to Oh's Intensive Care Manual (2014) - "It may be administered intravenously, orally or sublingually, and has a rapid onset of action (2-5 minutes) and duration of action of 20-30 minutes."
The comments on this page have been inspiring. Just got prescribed Lexapro today and am really hoping it can help me feel better. For most of my life I’ve just felt like things are just “not right,” or I need to constantly change something to try and be happy. I’ll let you know how it works! 🤞🏼
My Dr gave me this after i finished a 4 day test at a hospital. It was to help get off the meds they gave me to bring on my siezures. Has anyone experienced terrible 'medicine head' when starting it?
Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! However, to help prevent pill induced esophagitis, some recommend taking the pill with at least 1 cup of water, and to remain upright for 0.5-2 hours after taking it. In some cases, a PPI (like Lansoprazole) can be used. But again, every case is different!
Ive been taking Lexapro 10mg going on 2 weeks now and i can honestly feel the difference in the way i think. I am more happy and content, at work i can look customers and employees straight in their eyes and hold a actual conversation more fluently than i use to. I feel more confident and satisfied with life 😊
I was just recently (as in 3 days ago) prescribed Lexapro for my anxiety. I've binged watched so many SSRI videos to try to educate myself on how exactly the medication will work & this one truly made the most sense in layperson's terms. So thank you! Very informative & easy to understand.
I'm glad you found the video helpful! I hope that the medication helps for you. Remember that it can take as long as 6-8 weeks before you start to feel its full effect, and that the medication does not work for everyone! It is very much trial-and-error, but again, I hope that it works well for you 🙂
I had become majorly depressed over a break up I had 7 months ago. Literally the worst 7 months of my life. I had started to go to therapy again and it helped but it wasn't enough. When I started taking this I realized really how hard I was being on myself for no reason. This bitch is lit!
I have a question ,I overdosed on 120mg chewed up hydromorphon recently without a tolerance.How high was the chance of me actually dying?I weighed around 38kg at this time .
Sorry, I don't have the answer to your question, but I hope that you are doing better now and that you reach out for support from those around you if you need it
Thank you for sharing your personal experience with it! In general, it is ok to take it with or without food, but this can definitely vary from person to person!
Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! They will have the best information for you to calculate your Insulin to Carbohydrate Ratio (ICR). It is typically done by measuring blood glucose levels before and after eating, measuring the number of grams of carbs you ate, and the amount of insulin you took. Hope that helps!
Thanks for informative quizzes with the thoughtful explanation. I found your youtube recently and your questions are very in details. You deserve more subscribers! I hope I would like to see more videos. From a new subscriber 😉
Fatigue is definitely a possible side effect of taking Levocarb. I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! It is possible that the dose of your medication may need to be adjusted. Also, exercise, especially in the morning, can actually help to boost energy throughout the day. Staying hydrated is also very important and can help with fatigue. I hope that helps.

Hi, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes! The feeling your experiencing may or may not go away over time while taking the medication, so I definitely recommend reporting the side effect to your doctor. Hope that helps.
Dude stop eating and drink lots of water ! It happened to me once and I had to break it off with the stick. I thought was going to have a heart attack and it’s probably what killed Elvis.! You should get to the emergency room in the next two days !!
Not having a bowel movement for 10 days may indicate a serious underlying issue. Even if the problem resolved with the medication, I would definitely recommend speaking to your doctor about this just to be safe!
Hi Ryan, is it necessary to round the ml to 6.3? I used 6.25 til the end of my formula and got 350… If so, why? Thanks! I only rounded off the final answer.
Hi, for these types of questions, we typically round to the nearest tenth (the first decimal place) for adults, unless otherwise specified in the question. This is typically how it is done in practice too, because most syringes and medications are not required to be specific to the hundredth decimal place (however, some will be). If you don't round to the nearest tenth, even if you get the correct answer in the end (which doesn't always happen), you may lose points as part of 'showing your work.' Hope that helps!

I’ve had SEVERE anxiety my whole life, with random episodes of severe depression. The voices in my head are gone. I’ve experienced no side effects… like everyone else here… I will say.. this stuff WORKS! 😭❤
If this medication decreases dopamine and serotonin, would that not lead to mood decreasing symptoms? as those to chemicals when released help to make you less depressed?
Olanzapine is not typically used for depression on it's own. It is sometimes given for depression in combination with Fluoxetine (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) which raises serotonin levels in the brain. Also, Olanzapine is not first-line for depression, however, it is used in patients with episodes of depression associated with bipolar disorder type 1 and treatment-resistant depression.
Hi, I would definitely recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice, as these videos are meant for educational purposes only. How long you should be taking the medication varies greatly from person to person, and case to case. Sometimes antidepressants are ordered for 6 months, 1 year, or even indefinitely. Hope that helps!
Ciprofloxacin may help to treat (or prevent) the infection if the infection is susceptible to Cipro. It you have any questions about the treatment of your wound, I would definitely recommend speaking to your doctor for the best information for your case, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes!
If the swelling is caused by an infection that is susceptible to Ampicillin, then it can help. But as far as I know, Ampicillin is not used to treat inflammation on its own. You would need to take an anti inflammatory drug like an NSAID. However, I would always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for the best information for your case!
Sadly as a kid i was just trying to get waisted anyway possible and i found a big bottle of this in the medicine cabinet when i was home alone for 2 days i took 5 pills a bunch of cough syrup alcohol weed lsa from morning glory seeds and molly this was an obviously horrible idea i was probably 15 or 16 i passed out for 15 hours and woke up in a poll of sweat be careful y'all don't be a dumbass like me.
Bethanechol has been used to help treat the symptoms of GERD caused by lower esophageal sphincter issues. However, from what I have read, it is not often used for GERD anymore due to the side effects and other options available. But I always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for any actual medical advice as these videos are meant only for educational purposes!
@@NurseRyan Bethanachol looks like a good option, it can work within 1 hour, I don't know why they prefer a PPI, Bethanachol is not directly available on the NHS, FYI Viagra can cause LES issues, thanks for the reply
Thank you for this video! I've been raw dogging severe anxiety and depression for over 10 years now and my life is in shambles. I just got prescribed this and can't wait to see the results. Any ounce of hope at this point is greatly appreciated. The comments make me feel optimistic.
I'm glad the video was helpful, and I hope the medication works well for you! Remember that it can sometimes take up to 4-6 weeks to see the full effects of the medication. And if this medication doesn't work well for you, there are always other options 🙂
I was there, and this stuff was a game changer! My completely non-medical, unprofessional, experienced only based advice: don’t stay on this stuff for too long. It was such a great change of my life that I stayed on it for about five years, then weaned myself off, and finally realize that I think I just stayed on it a little bit too long. When you’re on it, it’s great, but also use it as a tool to realize this is how my life can be and how I can live my life. Then maybe after a year or two or whatever consider trying to wean yourself off of it. And I do know you need to wean yourself off of it with a professional. You can see if you’ve rewired your brain a little bit at point to cope with anxiety just more typical skills, and you can always go back on if you have to right?
