DESYREL (1) 300 mg bid
The active pharmaceutical ingredient in it is trazadone, an oral drug available as a regular/extended release tablet to be taken twice daily.
STRUCTURE

MECHANISM OF ACTION
It is a selective serotonin receptor inhibitor that inhibits reuptake of serotonin and causes subsensitivity of adrenoceptors. It induces significant changes in 5HT presynaptic adrenoceptor. It also blocks histamine (H1) and α1- adrenergic receptors significantly.

STRUCTURE

MECHANISM OF ACTION
By decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose it decreases hepatic glucose production. It also increases insulin sensitivity.
SIDE EFFECTS
Diarrhea, bloating/gas, indigestion, constipation, stomach pain, heart burn, nail changes and muscle pain.
POTENTIAL DRUG INTERACTIONS (2)
Drugs that interact Interaction category Parameters altered Suggestion
Trazodone Minor interactions Increase in metformin effects by pharmacodynamic synergism To be monitored

ASSESSMENT
From the above medication list given, we can diagonise that the patient suffers from depression, hypothyroidism, bladder muscle spasm, arrhythmia, hypertension and type-II diabetes. To manage depression, Desyrel, Klonopin, Aricept, and Zoloft were used. Synthroid was used for the management of hypothyroidism. For the condition of urinary incontinence, Detrol was used. For arrhythmia, Norpace and Inderal were used. Bumex, Aldactone, Avapro and Prinivil were used to treat hypertension. Glucophage was used to treat the condition of type II

    A medication that could be used instead of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is chlorthalidone. Current data and evidence suggests that HCTZ is equal to or secondary to chlorthalidone (Allan, Ivers, & Padwal, 2012). Compared to HCTZ, chlorthalidone has both a longer duration and half-life (Cooney, Milfred-LaForest, & Rahman, 2015). Chlorthalidone has also been found to be more vigorous in lowering blood pressure (Cooney et al., 2015). Chlorthalidone works by inhibiting the sodium-chloride co-transporter found in the luminal membrane of the distal convoluted tubule of the ascending loop of Henle (Cooney et al., 2015). Chlorthalidone potentially causes a stronger inhibition of carbonic anhydrase compared to HCTZ leading to a lower intracellular pH and cell volume (Cooney et al., 2015). The recommended dosage for chlorthalidone is 12.5 to 25 mg, with dosage consideration for the elderly (Cooney et al., 2015). For this patient I would start him on chlorthalidone to help lower his blood pressure. Given that he is an older patient, I would want to start him on 12.5 mg initially to prevent hypotension and other adverse effects.…

    Metformin's main effect is to decrease liver glucose production (Kirpichnikov et al., 2002). It also increases insulin sensitivity, which increases peripheral glucose uptake (Collier et al., 2006). Its glucose-decreasing effect is mainly a consequence of reduced hepatic glucose output and increased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and glycogenesis in skeletal muscle (Kirpichnikov et al., 2002). Another action of metformin is to reduce fatty…

    Insulin Research Paper

    Insulin will stimulate liver to store excess glucose as glycogen and also fatty acid which stored in adipose tissue. It activates the enzyme hexokinase, which phosphorylates glucose, trapping it within the cell and hence block the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase (Plum, Belgardt & Brüning 2006). Insulin will restrain fuel mobilization and breakdown of glycogen are blocked. Hence, causes the glucose to decrease gradually. However, the blood glucose will go back to the basal value. This is due to the secretion of basal insulin by pancreas to regulate the blood glucose level back to normal. Negative feedback organism occurs when blood glucose higher than normal, beta cells secrete insulin to blocks the production of glucose and move glucose from blood into cells to be used for energy. Glycolysis and ATP production will increase, which will close K+ channels and causes a depolarization of the…
