Question 1

where should dornase alfa be stored?

Accepted Answer

In the refrigerator: There should be specific instructions when you get a new prescription as to where to store it (what temperature and for how long), and whether light damages it. There should also be an expiration date to tell you when it will no longer work if you keep it too long. Don't use it afterthat date. If you have questions, ask your pharmacist or go to the web site shown in the package insert.

Question 2

do you have idea about dornase alfa uses?

Accepted Answer

Thick chest mucus: Dornase alfa, called pulmozyme, (dornase alfa) is a medicine that makes lung mucus thinner and easier to cough up. It was developed for patients with cystic fibrosis and is used every day for months or years. It is not used for short-term colds or bronchitis. It gets into the lungs by breathing in a mist of the medicine from a nebulizer machine.  Treatments usually take 10-20 minutes.

Question 3

is it safe to take pulmozyme (dornase alfa) while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pulmozyme (dornase alfa) is a category b, deemed safe in pregnancy. Its safety in lactation is unreported, but should have minimal absorption, and i would consider the benefits vs risk for lactation on a case-by-case basis with my patients.

Question 4

i have a patient on pulmicort and dornase, which one should i give first and why?

Accepted Answer

See Below: I'm confused. If this is a patient, you need to discussing this with the patient's doctor.

Question 5

i need a refill on one of my medications?

Accepted Answer

Best: Would be to get it through your prescriber. Other options such as paid consult on Health Tap or Urgent care are less optimal. Controlled substances are not prescribed on HealthTap.

Question 6

how can i tell my friends i'm on medication?

Accepted Answer

Your decision: It is your decision whether or not you wish to share this information. I think it is fine to be candid.

Question 7

what are common medications on a paediatric unit?

Accepted Answer

Antibx and resp: While flippant, generally most kids who are admitted to the hospital are suffering an infection of some kind or having respiratory issues. So antibiotics are huge. Respiratory meds include albuterol and steroids mainly. Pain medications of course. Otherwise it's specialty dependent, and can vary greatly.

Question 8

hi i'm currently on medication for my bp and my bp today is 95/66..is that normal ?

Accepted Answer

Contact your doctor: If you are feeling weak and dizzy upon standing up it could indeed be low. Contact your doctor for a dosing adjustment or perhaps investigating other potential causes. Also discuss the specific blood pressure targets with your doc.

Question 9

do any doctors on here perscribe medication?

Accepted Answer

No: We can only prescribe to those who see us, and we know who they are, know their allergies and are covered by insurances and we know would be sage to do so. Our system had a telemedicine, wherein, our own patients can go on the insurance computer for us and we can give them their medicine but not for consultation as this, too risky for you and for us, medico legally.

Question 10

i have white patch on my toug from the medications?

Accepted Answer

: Please repost with more specifics, such as what medications you are taking, how long the patch has been present, and other pertinent medical conditions.
