If the SGPT test is extremely elevated, your physician may request that you have an ultrasound performed on your liver. This will determine if there is an underlying disease factor and will help the physician decide what to do to lower the GPT level. If the increased GPT level is caused by...
Drugs that increase serum potassium concentrations (ACE inhibitors, angiotension II type 1 receptor antagonists, potassium-sparing diuretics, heparin) Potential for increased serum potassium concentrations with estradiol in fixed combination with drospirenone (Angeliq) Angeliq: Monitor serum potassium concentra...

Your risk may be higher if you also take certain other medicines that affect serotonin levels in your body. Using this medicine while you are pregnant may cause neonatal withdrawal syndrome in your newborn babies. Tell your doctor right away if your baby has an abnormal sleep pattern, diarrhea...
Diuretics, which affect ion concentrations in the blood and consequently heart function, may be useful in treating arrhythmias such as AF. Apart from the five main classes of antihypertensive pharmacotherapies, potassium-saving diuretics (eplerenone, spironolactone and amiloride)12 are often prescribed ...
Additionally, we found that clozapine decreased protein kinase C (PKC) level and that its action on CRH activity was attenuated by PKC activator (TPA, 0.1 μM). The obtained results indicate that inhibition of CRH gene promoter activity by some antipsychotic drugs may be a molecular ...
dogs. Dogs were poisoned by intravenous administration of a lethal dose of potassium cyanide. Dogs then received sodium chloride 9 mg/ml, 75 mg/kg or 150 mg/kg hydroxocobalamin, administered intravenously over 7.5 minutes. The 75 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg doses are approximately equivalent to ...
These are drugs acting on the autonomic nerve supply to the detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder that include the anticholinergics tarafenacin and afacifenacin and the β3 adrenoceptor agonists solabegron and ritobegron; drugs acting on ion channels in the detrusor muscle (eg, potassium ...
Other drugs that deplete body potassium (e.g., amphotericin B, corticosteroids, corticotropin, edetate disodium, laxatives, sodium polystyrene sulfonate) or that reduce extracellular potassium (e.g., glucagon, large doses of dextrose, dextrose-insulin infusions) also may predispose patients to digoxin...
