thanx for sharing Ahmed but i guess you did not get the question right

i said Gastric emptying not bowel emptying
so from your answer only metoclopromide is right
i will not answer you try to find 3 more drugs (i know you can do it )



Best regards

Dear Dr. Farah,

I'm not quite sure that drugs like Dopaminergic antagonists drugs like Domperidone , cholinergic agonists like Bethanicol are used for gastric emptying but I'm quite sure that these 2 group of drugs enhance the gastric motor activity.

Also we have;

(1) The use of botulinum toxin has been shown to improve stomach emptying and the symptoms of gastroparesis by decreasing the prolonged contractions of the muscle between the stomach and the small intestine (pyloric sphincter). The toxin is injected into the pyloric sphincter

(2) Erythromycin : which is now used in small doses because one of its side effects is increase of gastric motility so its used to improved delayed gastric emptying.

So I guess the drugs that I suggest are : [B]Domperidone , bethanicol , Botulinum Toxin , Erythromycin.

And I hope I'm right so far.

Thank you.[/B]

Great job Dr.knight

the drugs would be,
1. metoclopromide.
2.domperidone.
3.erythromycin.
4.cisapride.

honestly Im not sure about bethanicol i thought it is used to treat urine retention



Best regards

Yes Farah,

I think it's used for urine retention for the same reason it's used for enhancing motor activity...coz mmm let me remember, it's cholinergic agonists?

cholinergic receptors are found in bladder wall...so cholinergic agonists enhance emptying and motor activity of the wall...= VOIDING.

For the stomach, it's probably through cholinergic receptors, nerve supply promoting gastric movement.

Dear Dr.

[B]The Bethanicol isn't effective by itself but may be due to increase gastric motor activity.[/B]

Dear All,
While we are now oncerned in drugs in this Topic which was started by Dr. Farah,so I just wanted to ask you to enumerate at least 5-10 side effects of Vicodin

If you give 5 then you are Good
If you give 10 then you are better than you think
If more than 10 then you are the best.

Good Luck.

Bgrds

The Side Effects of Vicodin inclue :
1- Central Nervous System : drowsiness, mental clouding, lethargy, impairment of mental and physical performance, anxiety, fear, dysphoria, psychic dependence, and mood changes ..

2- Gastrointestinal System : useful in suppression of the nausea and vomiting ..

3- Genitourinary System : ureteral spasm, spasm of vesical sphincters, and urinary retention ..

4- Respiratory Depression : may produce dose-related respiratory depression by acting directly on the brain stem respiratory center. Also affects the center that controls respiratory rhythm and may produce irregular and periodic breathing.

5- Dermatological : skin rash, pruritus ..

6- Allergic Reactions ..

7- Thrombocytopenia ..

side effects of omeprazole?

Dear Fellows,

I say Good to Ahmed for answering 8 out of 20 and ask him to achieve his outstanding work in listing up the whole side effects if he wishes.Thanks again Ahmed.

Returning back to Dr. Farah's Question....
the side effects are divided according to their severity into those which need medical attention which include :

•blood in urine
•chest pain or tightness
•dark yellow or brown urine
•fever or sore throat
•pain or difficulty passing urine
•redness, blistering, peeling or loosening of the skin, including inside the mouth
•shortness of breath
•skin rash
•unusual bleeding or bruising
•yellowing of the eyes or skin

And those which doesnt need a medical attention including :

•headache
•diarrhea or constipation

Hope I got a bingo.

And by the way Dear Hour Glass , Can I add some excitment to your question and ask about the drugs which interact with Omeprasole ??

Thank you and Bgrds.
God Bless You All

drugs that interact with omeprazole "
1- DIAZEPAM ,WARFARIN,PHENYTOIN (drugs that are metabolised by oxidation in the liver) because it prolong INR ,PT , and causes abnormal bleeding

2-cyclosporine , BENZODIAZIPANE( metabolised by CP450)

3- IRON SALTS, AMPECILLINE ESTRS , ketokanazole( interfier with thier absorption)

4-ERYTHROMYCIN, CLARITHROMYCIN( causes prolongation of QT and torsadesde pointes)





thanx
