Question 1

what is the definition or description of: amidate allergy?

Amidate allergy: Amidate  ((Etomidate Injection, USP) is  a hypnotic drug. An allergy occurs when your body’s immune system creates antibodies to a foreign substance causing a reaction that can be mild to severe.  For potential adverse effects see:   https://www.drugs.com/pro/amidate.html

Question 2

can etomidate and succinylcholine show up as a positive alcohol drug test?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: I am not aware of this.  Etomidate comes in a 35% solution with propylene glycol which might give a false positive depending on the assay method, but this would not last long, would not likely be high and there would not likely be any concern of etoh intake around the time of etomidate or succ use.

Question 3

does etomidate cause seizures?

Accepted Answer

Etomidate&seizures: Yes there has been reports of seizures--but the answer is usually much more complex

only a few people will get seizures, while most people will not get seizures, so other factors play a role.

Question 4

etomidate (tradenames , mode of action, phamacokinetics, pharmacological action, uses, side effects.), can you tell me this info?

Accepted Answer

Briefly: Etomidate=Amidate, hypnotic agent used in general anesthesia and brief sedation. It works by altering specific brain receptors (GABA). We use it when we need to have stable or increased heart rate and blood pressure at the beginning of anesthesia (a time when those things can drop quite a bit with other drugs). So, we use for people with certain heart disease, blood loss, trauma, critically ill

Question 5

what is the difference between propofol and etomidate?

Accepted Answer

Different effects: Both are medications given IV (into a vein) to make someone sleep. Propofol may be used as a sedative or at the start of general anesthesia (ga); etomidate is used mostly in ga. Propofol lowers blood pressure more. Etomidate may be used for stable BP in trauma or heart surgery. Both can reduce or stop breathing and must be given under anesthesiologist supervision  with careful monitoring.

Question 6

can etomidate and succinylcholine cause a positive etoh?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: I am not aware of this.  Etomidate comes in a 35% solution with propylene glycol which might give a false positive depending on the assay method, but this would not last long, would not likely be high and there would not likely be any concern of etoh intake around the time of etomidate or succ use.

Question 7

why is etomidate so much more nauseating than propofol when they both work on the same receptors in the brain?

Accepted Answer

Drug: Propofol is a sedative hypnotic while Etomidate is a non-barbiturate hypnotic. Etomidate does have an effect on the adrenal glands and this may cause more nausea.

Question 8

what can i do for a medicine allergy?

Accepted Answer

Stop taking it: If it is an extreme necessity, and there are no alternatives, and you don&#x27;t know whether this an allergic reaction or an adverse drug reaction (side effect), see an allergist/immunologist for evaluation and possible desensitization to the said drug for treatment of a particular disease episode, good luck

Question 9

what is the best medicine for stubborn allergies?

Accepted Answer

Various Options: Daily steroid or antihistamines nasal sprays (fluticasone, azelastine) are helpful. Determining exactly what you could be sensitized to in order to practice appropriate avoidance measures is also important.

Other meds include Sudafed, Mucinex, (guaifenesin) Afrin, oral antihistamines
