Initial treatment of tension HA
NSAIDs, aspirin, analgesics, caffeine, heat/cold, massage, relaxation, headache
diary
Mechanism of action for bisphosphonates
Inhibits osteoclast activity and increases bone density
Reduce bone reabsorption by inhibiting osteoclast activity
Calcium supplements and bisphosphonates
Calcium decreases absorption of bisphosphonates - DO not take calcium
supplements for at least an hour after taking bisphosphonates
Least sedating antihistamine
2nd generation, loratadine
,Anti-tussive medications
codeine (contraindicated under 12 yo), dextromethorphan, benzonatate,

ointments, steam inhalation liquids
Vitamin to enhance iron absorption
Vitamin C
Orlistat - who can take it
Used for obesity in both adult and peds - BMI 28 or more and other health related
conditions, such as HTN, DM or a BMI of 30 or more
Orlistat - ADR's
oily greasy stools, GI sx, bladder pain (increased level of urinary oxalate), muscle
aches, rarely severe hepatic injury
SERM's and treatment of osteoporosis
, Raloxifene: Prescribed for post-menopausal women with osteoporosis to mimic
estrogen effects, lipid metabolism and blood clotting on bone but not on breast and
endometrium.
Safest formulation for mild to moderate iron deficiency anemia
Ferrous sulfate
Foods and substances that increase dietary absorption of plant-based iron
Vitamin C
Most likely cause of macrocytic anemia
B12 or folate defienciency
Insulin and drug interactions with nonselective beta-blocker and alcohol
