Ranitidine and Its Uses
Mechanism of Action
- Ranitidine, marketed under various names including Zantac, reduces stomach acid production by blocking histamine receptors in gastric cells. This helps prevent peptic ulcers.
- It became widely used since the 1990s for its effectiveness in protecting against gastric ulceration due to increased acid levels.
Promethazine: Antiemetic Properties
Applications of Promethazine
- Promethazine, known as Phenergan, belongs to the dopamine antagonist class of drugs that alleviate nausea and vomiting symptoms by facilitating gastric emptying.
- It can be administered intramuscularly or intravenously for quick relief from nausea during chemotherapy or post-operative care.
Ondansetron: A Key Antiemetic
Role in Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea
- Ondansetron works by binding to serotonin receptors in the central nervous system, effectively preventing nausea associated with chemotherapy treatments.
- Its use extends beyond chemotherapy; it is also effective for general nausea management across various patient populations.
Cefazolin: Antibiotic Use
Indications for Cefazolin
- Cefazolin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic utilized primarily before surgical procedures to prevent bacterial infections effectively.
- Discovered in the 1970s, it plays a crucial role in treating infections caused by bacteria such as those affecting respiratory systems and urinary tracts post-surgery.
Gatifloxacin: An Antibiotic Overview
Mechanism of Action
- Gatifloxacin, part of the fluoroquinolone class, inhibits bacterial DNA synthesis which halts bacterial growth; it's effective against a range of infections including respiratory tract infections and skin infections.
Metronidazole: Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic
Clinical Applications
- Known as Flagyl, Metronidazole targets anaerobic bacteria and protozoa; it disruptively affects nucleic acid synthesis within these organisms making it effective against gastrointestinal infections among others.
Propofol: Anesthetic Agent
Usage During Surgical Procedures
- Propofol, recognized for its rapid onset short duration effects, is commonly used as an anesthetic agent during surgeries due to its ability to induce sedation quickly while maintaining hemodynamic stability throughout procedures.
