What produces oxytocin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

oxytocin: a pituitary octapeptide hormone C43H66N12O12S2 that stimulates especially the contraction of uterine muscle and the secretion of milk.

Oxytocin ( /ˌɒksɨˈtoʊsɪn/) is a mammalian hormone that acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain. Oxytocin has the distinction of being the very first polypeptide hormone to be sequenced and synthesized biochemically, by Vincent du Vigneaud et al. in 1953.[1]

Oxytocin is best known for its roles in female reproduction. It is released in large amounts 1) after distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, and 2) after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating birth and breastfeeding. Recent studies have begun to investigate oxytocin's role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, and maternal behaviors.[2] For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the "love hormone".[3]

The word oxytocin is a corruption of the Greek ὼκυτοκίνη, ōkytokínē, "quick labor".

most drug tests do not differentiate between the specifics and give general results like opiates, benzodiazepines etc... hydrocodone and oxycodone are both opiates, however, there are tests that can and DO differentiate the specifics and they are ordered per situation and policy of the entity that is ordering the test in the first place.

What is the max dose you can take of tramadol?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I do not believe there is one established fatal dose. As with all meds, fatalities can occur at both low and high doses. Much depends on what other meds one is taking and one's sensitivities to various drugs. Tramadol lowers the seizure threshold, so anyone prone to seizures needs their doctor to carefully manage their use of this drug. In addition, when combined with certain other medications, the seizure threshold can be lowered even further. Anti-depressant SSRIs taken together with Tramadol can be very dangerous for those prone to seizures. Tramadol causes the body to retain serotonin, as do many of the modern anti-depressants. Along with the risk of seizure for certain individuals, Tramadol taken together with other drug that cause the body to retain serotonin can contribute to serotonin syndrome, a highly dangerous condition. The maximum daily dose of Tramadol is listed at 400mg. Tramadol is to be taken every 4-6 hours, at either 50mg or 100mg. The long acting preparations have different dosing schedules. Those prone to seizures or those already taking other meds that either lower the seizure threshold, or cause retention of serotonin will probably have a much lower maximum dose set by their doctor than those without such risks.

What does morphine do?

Morphine is a prescription medication and exists in the market as a well-known analgesic. The group of morphine properties process mechanisms to treat the moderate to moderately severe pain. However, medical authorities can accumulate this medicine and or might be utilized individually to cure the medical conditions. Having this medication for off-label use without a doctor’s approval can lead to drastic outcomes. Therefore, run treatment as directed by the physician.

Before approving any medication, the doctor analyzes the health status and reviews the past medical histories. Therefore, please do not take any strength and medication unless it directs with a legal prescription.

What is the average treatment duration by morphine?

Although the treatment duration factors depend on the condition of the sufferer and the intensity of the disorder. Therefore, the treatment duration varies from one sufferer to another. So, to know about your adequate duration, meet the doctor. You will have to persist on the recommended duration without manipulation and procrastination.

The doctor may alter the duration if he finds the necessity to do so. But, in case if you increase treatment duration without a doctor’s direction. So, you may meet severe outcomes such as addiction and dependency. As it contains opioid properties, which can lead to physical and mental dependency if used for an extended duration.

What are the major forms of morphine?

Morphine exists in nature in two forms; immediate and extended-release. These two variants function and affect the pain differently. Immediately gets dissolved in the system immediately and the effects of this form survive up to 6 hours. In contrast, extended-release formulation melts into the system gradually over time, and effects may last up to 12 hours after the last dosage.

Additionally, the generic name of this medicine is morphine, but the brand name is duramorph. Both functions same, but the prices may vary due to production by several creators. To know more about morphine drug class, read the below data-

Drug class of morphine- morphine exists in the drug category known as opioid analgesic. Therefore, it functions by blinding the brain's specific receptors to break the transmission between the brain and the body.

Control status of morphine- this medication is classified under schedule 2 controlled substances. Thus, it has a high potential for being abused. To lower such impacts, go as directed by the doctors.

Is it safe to purchase morphine online?

Generally, it is safe to buy morphine online and other medication online. But for the consumption, you should have approval from the doctor in the form of a prescription. In case if you don’t have a copy of your existing prescription. So, you can apply for an online prescription from online pharmacies. Above all, keep the below directions in mind to prevent yourself from the scam-

How can you keep Duragesic Fentanyl Transdermal Patches from falling off when sweating?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This has always been a problem for Duragesic users like myself, particularly during the Summer months. However, there are several ways you can help keep your patch(es) in place:

1. If you're using Duragesic and not the generic patches (most people like me who've used Duragesic for years can't use them), Janssen Pharmaceuticals, the maker of the patch, has a program for users of their patch to deal with the problem. Qualified individuals are sent a package of Bioclusive cover bandages to place over the existing patch. Bioclusives are transparent bandages that work like any other, but are just transparent and have different properties. The Bioclusive is large enough to fit over a single 100mcg patch and hold it in place. The information is in the Duragesic box, or you can call them directly at the number on the back of the box. The Bioclusive program is one of the menu items. Note that it is ONLY for Duragesic users; if you're using the generic patch, you're not qualified for the program.

2. Skin Prep - Skin Prep is a medical adhesive skin preparation, normally used by Colostomy patients who have much greater adhesive/adhesion requirements. Skin Prep preps the skin by adding a thin layer of a chemical that increases the adhesion of whatever it's stuck to. The key to using this though is that you must be absolutely precise in its application where the adhesive edges of the patch are to go. If careless, you can block the skin area where the patch membrane is when you apply your patch, thus preventing a full skin area for drug release.

There are 2 versions of the drug; one stings, the other is a 'non-sting" version. But the stuff works.

3. Medical/Surgical tape - You can use medical tape on the edges also. If the patch has come off, don't toss it if it's still intact and not stuck to itself. Clean the area where it was thoroughly, then put the patch back on using tape on the edges to hold it in place. Once removed from the skin, the patch adhesive is no longer strong enough to hold it in place on its own, so it needs tape or something like a Bioclusive patch to hold it. It takes a bit of time, but if you've got enough Fentanyl left in the patch, it'll start transferring within an hour or more depending on your body heat.

Having said that, at times requiring 2 100mcg patches myself every 48 hours (I'm in a small percentage of the population that only gets 48 hours out of the patch) I eventually figured out that the best way to keep them from coming off while sweating was to ensure they were put on properly in the first place. The only way to do this is to remove all skin oils from the area where the patch is going to be.

Ah, you say - but the directions say not to use alcohol for skin preparation, right? Actually, yes and no - the directions say not to use alcohol and THEN apply the patch. The reason for this is that Isopropyl Alcohol leaves a residue that can block drug release. So how do you get around this problem?

The answer is to use Isopropyl to clean the skin area, the to rinse/flush the area with water afterward to remove any residue left by the alcohol. Be sure not to use any soaps either, as they leave residue also.

Having used 1 or 2 100mcg Fentanyl patches for over 10 years now, I've always used them on my biceps, since for me they're the best place which affords the least skin flexing. Where you place your patch has a major effect on its adhesive capability as well. Any patch must be placed above the waist; many cancer patients I've known who've used them prior to passing on had them placed on the back. Anywhere you place the patch is supposed to be free of any body hair, as even small hairs can interfere with the patch. I've use mine for so long in the same place on both arms that hair doesn't grow there anymore, but when first starting I had to shave the areas where I put the patches. If you're wondering, I switch arms every time I switch change patches. You must give the area where you place your patch enough time to breathe and replenish itself.

I also offer this advice to any Fentanyl Patch user; as Schedule 2 opiate patients, all of us know the extreme restrictions placed on us by Federal Law, including the "minor problem" of only being given 30 days worth of medicine, only to lose one or more to sweating. I learned many years ago to maintain at least a 30 day emergency supply of all of my opiate medications, both primary and breakthrough (120/150 Percocet 10/325's per month). It is not easy to save up that much - if you have a good relationship with your Pain Specialist, you can always ask for extra, but be absolutely honest in why you're asking for it. Having had more bad doctors than good, it took a long time for me to find a good Pain Specialist, so be sure you've got a good one before saying anything if you should choose to try and bank extras for emergencies.

In my case, I used my breakthrough meds to substitute for my patches on those days when my pain wasn't as bad. It typically takes me a year to save that much - I've always kept my doctor informed, and he in turn has always given me a little extra in my prescription when my emergency supply ran low due to problems with my HMO or some other stupid reason. But I had the same doctor for 9 years, and I was one of his best patients. Never break the trust between you and your Pain Doctor - ever.

What drugs are used to combat drowsiness and fatigue?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Check for copper imbalance. excess copper , or too little. or accumulated copper with deficiency of zinc.

My problem was addiction to dark chocolate & Coffee. Chocolate has too much copper. after I have restricted amount chocolate I was eating I checked my liver & result was great. My blood did not show liver enzymes. My energy & interest in life was back.

However, as I felt better I got relaxed & defied my own rule "eat a little bit of chocolate once a week only", bad habits coincided with stress & poor nutrition that showed results without much delay. Day by day I felt more tired, sleep deprived, nail fungous & other minor infections intensified, cold etc. As a reaction to my gradual increase of tiredness & fatigue I only increased consuming coffee & chocolates. Eventually , I have lost my appetite & if I have time I can sleep 20 hours a day. My energy that I had & I was so excited about few weeks ago is gone. I am chocoholic, tired, lost interest about anything, I just want to sleep.

After some thought I have obtained iron supplement, zinc & vitamin C, some pumpkin seeds for naturally high in iron. I passed sadly shelves adorned with dark chocolate bars. Once I feel better I can safely eat chocolate once a week. but now I need to detoxify from excess copper.

What is a common dosage of hydrocodene?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The "recommended" dose is 1-2 every 4-6 hours, so I guess according to doctors, that's the normal dose.

In my opinion though, however many makes you feel better is the recommended dose since everybody's different. Just be careful, NEVER exceed 8 in 24 hours, and if you have taken 6 or more in the last 24 hours, talk to your doctor about possibly "upping" your narcotics from Vicodin to something else, or try for a different route instead of narcotic medication.

Good luck and feel better :)

You have developed a tolerance to oxycodone whats next?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Oh, absolutely. They say that if you're going to be on oxycodone for more than a month, you must speak to a doctor about how to adjust your dose, or perhaps switch to another medication. If you'll only need it for a few weeks, or for a short-ish post-op situation, there shouldn't be as much of an issue with tolerance. I have chronic pain (RSD, Fibromyalgia, arthritis). I was treated well by about 20 mg a day (starting October 2007), but as time wore on, I've needed more and more. Recently I was switched to 60 mg a day of oxycodone -- that was about three months ago -- and just today I had to be switched to MS Contin because there's almost no end to the tolerance. I guess it's a juggling act for chronic pain sufferers -- good luck to you. :)

Treatment for a chip fracture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the part of the body the chip is in - if it 's part of an appendage (arm, leg, toe, finger, etc.) usually there's not much to do except let it heal, unless it's interfering with mobility or the use of the limb itself. In those cases it can simply be removed.

Same goes for chips in other parts of the body - depending on where it is and whether or not it's a threat to an organ or is in a position to cause further harm, the decision might be to remove it. In most cases though it's just left alone if it's not a threat to anything.

In general, many opiates can be more effective than oxycodone when taken at a high enough dose. But, using common doses taken by mouth, the opiates that cab be more effective are fentanyl (Duragesic), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), levorphanol (Levo-Dromoran), methadone, morphine, and oxymorphone (Opana). There are narcotic analgesic conversion tables and charts available on the internet and in libraries. These can be very helpful when trying to make comparisons.

What are the main differences between acetaminophen and ibuprofen and acetylsalicylic acid and naproxen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) has antipyretic (fever reducing) effects, as well as analgesic (pain reducing) effects and anti-inflammatory effects. It is also an effective anti-platelet medication, helping to prevent heart attacks, strokes and blood clotting. however, aspirin should not be used for children, as there is a risk of Reye's Syndrome. In adults, aspirin is quite effective, but limitations include stomach irritation, gastritis and ulcers (and this is further exacerbated in those who consume alcohol - especially concurrently).

Acetaminophen is an effective antipyretic and analgesic, but not particularly effective as an anti-inflammatory, although it does help to decrease the pain of degenerative joint disease. Acetaminophen may be given to children as it does not carry the risk of Reye's Syndrome (as aspirin does). However, acetaminophen is dangerous in overdose. Acetaminophen toxicity is the leading cause of liver failure in the U.S. Acetaminophen has no significant anti-platelet activity.

Ibuprofen belongs to a large group of medications known as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Ibuprofen is an antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent (just as aspirin is). However, it carries only mild anti-platelet activity. It is useful, in its own right, and when combined with opiates for pain treatment (especially post-operatively). Ibuprofen, like all NSAIDs has GI side effects, especially when used in excess (e.g. gastritis, ulcers) and also renal (kidney) toxicity in overdose (or situations of excess high-dose usage, chronically). Ibuprofen has less risk of drug-drug interactions than either aspirin or acetaminophen.

Naproxen is a NSAID medication (in the same general NSAID class as ibuprofen. it is, therefore, an antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication). It is used in all forms of arthritis, as well as gout, ankylosing spondylitis, menstrual cramps, tendinitis, bursitis, headaches, and the like.

All of the above four medications are potentially very effective when used correctly.
