Children’s cough syrup is back into mind, after uncovering the incorrectly marked dosing cups included in the package and the use of the least toxic ingredient used in the syrup is called guaifenesin. However, according to the labeled instructions; it’s unlikely to have any side effects and there were no reports on any serious side effects. Kids often get into these medicines, which may cause side effects, possibly hurting their health along with their parents worrying about accidental overdoses. In conclusion, doctors do not recommend this medicine.…
I completed my Institutional Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience (IPPE) at Miami Valley Hospital located in Dayton, Ohio. Miami Valley Hospital is an 848 bedded hospital with several units, those of which I had the privilege of working in were the intensive care unit (ICU), the burn unit, and the behavioral health unit. I also had the opportunity to spend time in the main pharmacy as well as the emergency department. I worked with pharmacists Beth Quedenfeld, Michelle Inman, and Jen Welch along many technicians.…
Allstar Brands' Allround product holds a strong position in the over-the-counter cold and allergy remedy market by being the market share leader, but there is no guarantee this trend will continue. Allround recognizes the need to continue to diversify and reformulate its current product line in order to remain competitive in light of an influx of competition. Allround competes in one of four product categories in the OTC market with no emphasis in the cough, allergy, or nasal categories. We will be better enabled to meet the desires and needs wanted most by consumers by enhancing the current Allround product line.…

I am the second oldest child in my house, and after my older sister I am responsible for my two other younger siblings. Therefore, most of my time I spent teaching my younger sister chemistry, and my younger brother math. I try my best to use the best way of explaining it to them. I use visual mind maps and sometimes I start off teaching my brother the basic math, so I can remind him how to solve a math problem. I find this way really helpful while I am teaching him. As well, when I am teaching my sister chemistry, I always use the strategy of asking her questions and making her explain what I am trying to teach her, and I find this way helpful for her. Now she is getting really good marks in her class, that inspires me to keep on teaching…
To accomplish my goal I did some refreshment my nursing skill and producers before clinical. I reviewed my nursing skill and procedure to refresh my brain about how to administer parental injection, the right site for IM and S/C, and size and length of needles. I reviewed my health and physical assessment videos and review my nursing skill notes how to assess head to toe and pain scale, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and CIWA Scale which helped me a lot to refresh my skills. Also, I looked up my previous clinical worksheets which reminded me some nursing diagnosis and…
She is at the gym and as she lifts the weight, she feels a “pop” and her leg buckles, she can’t stand, and she can’t bend her knee. The coach sprints over and helps her up, she can’t bear weight and she can’t straighten her leg, she is afraid, and although there isn’t pain, she comprehends the seriousness of her symptoms.…
I have very few memories of the day that I obtained my first concussion in the spring of my sophomore year at Tulane. I was feeling stressed that day, I had an Organic Chemistry quiz the next morning and was squeezing in study time between classes and diving practice. At practice, thoughts of Organic Chemistry were distracting me from my work out; I remember leaving the board, and then seeming to reappear on the pool deck with my coach barking at me in a language I did not understand. I just stared at him, too perplexed and confused to speak a word. I did not know it then, but the concussion diagnosis marked the beginning of a long journey into the inner workings of medicine from the other side, that of a patient. What I discovered would amuse,…
There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…
I kept thinking about medication. How it works.. every single word I didn't know I researched.. I could just be curious but no.. this was worse. I didn't want to think about this.…
Many individuals are completely unaware of the variety of job opportunities that a pharmacist has. Unfortunately, pharmacists are sometimes seen as “peel and stick” workers, and do not get enough credit for the tasks that they complete behind the scenes. Whether a health-system pharmacist, community pharmacist, federal pharmacist, or pharmacy director they all play an imperative role in the health of a patient. There are a many opportunities for a 21st century pharmacist in the health care system. And, in my opinion, these opportunities are only going to grow more and more in the next few years.…
While medical care was available growing up, there were financial or situational periods where it was not necessarily accessible. I am from a single parent family. My mother moved in with my grandparents after her divorce and works two full time jobs to help provide for my brother, grandparents, and I. Since my father went to jail and my grandfather passed, we have had to make many adjustments financially. This was the case due to my father not providing payments for child support for the time he was incarcerated nor occasional months prior. There has also been a complication with my mother and I having our identity stolen, which has created additional problems when applying for governmental aid throughout my undergraduate years. I worked…
First generation antihistamines include, brompheniramine (Dimetane), hydroxyzine (Vistaril), chlorpheniramine (Aller-Chlor), clemastine (Tavist), and diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Most of the first-gen medications are recommended less often due to their side effects. They are capable of moderately to severely impairing a person depending on dosage. This is because all first generation antihistamines are highly lipophilic and that enables them to easily pass through a blood-brain barrier. So while they are effective at reducing allergy symptoms, it also affects their central nervous system. This makes the person much more susceptible to the sedating effects and why there are so many warnings against taking allergy medications with alcohol. The second generation antihistamines are regarded as less sedating because they have been designed to be hydrophobic and to not cross the blood-brain barrier. Second generation Antihistamines include loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec), and levocetirizine (Xyzal). In addition to causing less severe side effects, this class of medications have longer half lives than their predecessors. This is a great benefit to patients since dosages could be dropped from several times a day to just one or two per day. Third generation antihistamines are a refined version of their…
