Why are the effects referred to as systemic effectrs
Treatment for lewisite exposure includes removing contaminated clothing, thoroughly washing the affected area with soap and water, and seeking medical attention immediately. Antidotes such as British Anti-Lewisite (BAL) may be administered by healthcare professionals to help neutralize the effects of lewisite poisoning. Data on lewisite-specific treatment is limited, so prompt and supportive care is essential in managing exposure.
Yes. It is very common to get the systemic effects of locally acting drug. Specially the allergic reactions.
Systemic effect refers to an adverse health effect that takes place at a location distant from the body's initial point of contact and presupposes absorption has taken place. Examples: arsenic effects to the blood, nervous system, liver, kidneys and skin; benzene effects to the bone marrow.Substances with systemic effects often have "target organs" in which they accumulate and exert their toxic effect. Some substances that cause systemic effects are cumulative poisons. These substances tend to build up in the body as a result of numerous chronic exposures. The effects are not seen until a critical body burden is reached. Example: heavy metals such as lead.
Local and systemic
Not all toxic chemicals have both local and systemic effects. Some toxic chemicals may primarily affect the area where the exposure occurred (local effect) without spreading to other parts of the body (systemic effect). It depends on the specific chemical and how it interacts with the body.
Anything that affects the entire body is called "Systemic" meaning the entire system.
Classic side affacets are side affects that occur quite often. :)
A systemic disease effects more than one part of the body. A severe systemic disease is spread throughout the body and impacts the patient's life to a large degree, causing widespread pain and suffering.
The copper IUD does not have systemic effects and does not cause weight gain.
The Nasolacrimal duct allows entry into the systemic circulation. If a medication will cause systemic effects, you will want to block the Nasolacrimal duct with gentle pressure.
