Manage episode 430722543 series 2784121
On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, I continue my coverage with the Top 200 Drugs Podcast. Here’s the list of medications we will cover.
- Lorazepam (Ativan) is a benzodiazepine well known for its anxiolytic and anti-seizure properties.
- Phenazopyridine (Pyridium) is a urinary analgesic that can change the color of the urine to a reddish/orange color as one of its adverse effects.
- Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is a DMARD used in rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus. One highly testable and unique nugget to remember is that it can cause retinopathy.
- Lidocaine patch (Lidoderm) is used topically to help with various types of pain including neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia.
- Diclofenac (Cataflam) is an NSAID used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory. It can increase the risk of GI bleed, edema, renal failure, and thrombosis.
