Medications commonly used to manage schizophrenia...
Haloperidol, fluphenazine, and chlorpromazine are known as conventional, or typical, antipsychotics and have been used to treat schizophrenia for years. However, they sometimes have movement-related side effects, such as tremors and dystonia, a condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions

This week we're going to talk about stages of labor... Today let's talk about BRAXTON HICKS OR POPULARLY KNOWN AS,FALSE LABOR.
Braxton Hicks contractions are felt during pregnancy and can be mistaken for true labor contractions. Unlike true labor, Braxton Hicks are irregular in frequency, less intense and usually go away if you change positions. They are your body's way of getting ready for labor, but it doesn't mean labor is coming.

When do Braxton Hicks contractions start? Braxton Hicks contractions can begin any time after week 20 of pregnancy in the second trimester, though they're more noticeable in later months, in the third trimester.When this happens, the muscles of the uterus tighten for approximately 30 to 60 seconds, and sometimes as long as two minutes.. They'll increase starting around week 32 all the way until real labor starts

CONTINUATION OF OUR TOPIC TODAY,PAIN KILLERS.

PRESCRIPTION OF PAIN KILLERS
Opioids are the most powerful of these drugs. They block the nerve signals that transmit feelings of pain to your Brain, bringing feelings of pleasure,thus, they are mostly used after recent surgery, painful injury or a condition such as cancer.
Examples of opioids are;
Codeine
Morphine
Oxycodone etc

Another very powerful opioid painkiller is fentanyl. It's up to 100 times more powerful than opioids and it's usually given to people who are near death from cancer and in a lot of pain. But it's also abused or mixed into illegal drugs, resulting to death.

Side effects of opioids

1.Constipation -is the most common side effect, affects nearly everyone who has taken them.
2.Nausea
3.Dizziness
4. Depression
5.weakened immune system
6.tolerance-meaning, that every time your body needs more of the drug to get same effect
7.addiction-meaning, your want to keep taking these drugs even when you don't need them
8.Death-taking large amounts of opioid painkillers can stop breathing, which eventually leads to death.

As BEST HEALTH CARE CLINIC,we urge that before you take any painkiller or reliever,read the drug instructions and most importantly,seek medical advice from your doctor.

I've interacted with many patients and most of them don't know the effects of taking too much painkillers, therefore,as BEST HEALTH CARE CLINIC, today we're going to write about PAINKILLERS

PAINKILLERS
Meds that relieve pain are valuable tools for doctors and patients. But like all drugs, they can have side effects,and some ot them can be serious. Here's a look at some of the most common painkillers and what you need to know if you have taken them. Most of these commonly used painkillers are ones you can buy in a chemist near you commonly referred to as "OVER THE COUNTER DRUGS" .. they are, ACETAMINOPHEN, ASPIRIN, IBUPROFEN AND NAPROXEN, usually taken for mild pains and fevers.

ASPIRIN- this is the oldest in a family of medications known as non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs. While they can relieve pain, they can also cause your stomach to bleed if you take them for a long time. This can cause problems from simple indigestion to stomach ulcers, taking a lot of NSAIDs(like Diclofenac) may also cause kidney damage.
Aspirin, should not be given to children because of a life threatening condition called REYE'S syndrome which affects the brain and the liver. Doctors often recommend aspirin for people who are more likely to have a heart attack or stroke because it can prevent blood clots, but since it can cause bleeding, taking it everyday also raises the odds of one kind of stroke that involves bleeding in the Brain.

Acetaminophen- This can be taken on its own. Acetaminophen-doesn't cause stomach problems as seen With aspirin but taking them too much or drink alcohol while taking it can cause liver damage.

Ibuprofen -like aspirin and NSAIDs, Ibuprofen can cause stomach or kidney problems. But it acts quickly and leaves the body faster than aspirin, thereby lowering the chances of side effects

Naproxen -this another member of NSAIDs family. It has the same possible side effects

WHAT IS TYPE 1 DIABETES?🤔

This is a chronic condition in which the PANCREAS produces LITTLE or no INSULIN. Insulin is a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter the cells. Although this type of diabetes usually appears during childhood and adolescence,it can develop in adults.

SYMPTOMS

Increased thirst
Frequent urination
Bed wetting in children who previously didn't wet their bed during the night
Extreme hunger
Unintended weight loss
Irritability and mood changes
Fatigue and weakness
Blurred vision
Signs of an emergency with type 1 diabetes include:

Shaking and confusion
Rapid breathing
Fruity smell to your breath
Belly pain
Loss of consciousness (rare)

CAUSES

In type 1 diabetes,your immune system specifically white blood cells mistaken your pancreatic beta cells for foreign Invaders,in an autoimmune response, your white blood cells secrete antibodies that destroy your own beta cells,as a result,your pancreas produces little or no INSULIN.
Without insulin, glucose can't get into the cells,so, they are starved for the calories they should be receiving from glucose. The glucose therefore builds up in your blood stream resulting in a condition called HYPERGLYCEMIA.

OTHER CAUSES ARE;
Family history. Anyone with a parent or sibling with type 1 diabetes has a slightly higher risk of developing the condition.

Genetics. Having certain genes increases the risk of developing type 1 diabetes.

Geography. ...
Age.

COMPLICATIONS

Dehydration. When there’s extra sugar in your blood, you p*e more. That’s your body’s way of getting rid of it. A large amount of water goes out with that urine, causing your body to dry out.

Weight loss. The glucose that goes out when you p*e takes calories with it. That’s why many people with high blood sugar lose weight. Dehydration also plays a part.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). If your body can't get enough glucose for fuel, it breaks down fat cells instead. This creates chemicals called ketones,it breaks down fat cells instead. This creates chemicals called ketones. Your liver releases the sugar it stores to help out. But your body can’t use it without insulin, so it builds up in your blood, along with the acidic ketones. This mix of extra glucose, dehydration, and acid buildup is known as ketoacidosis and can be life-threatening if not treated right away.

Treatment for type 1 diabetes includes:

Taking insulin
Counting carbohydrates, fats and protein
Monitoring blood sugar often
Eating healthy foods
Exercising
