Read this article and answer the following question There are 3 different Metformin ER products available: Glucophage XR Glumetza ER Fortamet ER All 3 formulations are available generically but they are not interchangeable as they all use different release mechanisms. Glucophage XR uses a dual hydrophilic polymer system. The drug is slowly released by diffusing through a gel matrix, also known as GelShield diffusion system. Once the tablet is swallowed, the outer layer of the tablet forms a gel layer and the metformin contained within is slowly released. Due to this release mechanism, Glucophage XR can not be cut or split. Glumetza ER uses a mechanism known as gastro-retentive technology (also known as 'Modified Release'). The tablets are designed to remain in the stomach and deliver metformin to the upper GI tract over an extended period of time. Like Glucophage XR, Glumetza ER can not be cut or split. Fortamet ER uses single-composition osmotic technology (SCOT). After…
For each of the following examples, indicate whether the drug is acting on physical process, chemical process or enzymatic system (your answer should be only; Physical, Chemical or Enzymatic). Group of answer choices 1. A drug is used as an antidote in lead poisoning and acts by binding to lead particles in body (chelation therapy). 2. A drug acts to reduce flatulence and acts by reducing the surface tension of intestinal gas bubbles in the GI tract (e.g. Simethicone). 3. A drug competes with alpha-glucosidase in intestine to reduce glucose conversion from disaccharides (e.g. Acarbose).
A patient is receiving morphine sulfate intravenously via a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump. The concentration of the solution is 11 mg/mL and is being infused continuously around the clock at a rate of 0.1 mL/hr. The patient may also access a 2-mg bolus dose every hour for breakthrough pain if needed and they are currently using an average of 5 additional bolus doses per day. The patient is to be converted to fentanyl using the table below. But before using the table we must determine their morphine usage, so what is this patient's total daily dosage of IV morphine?

This is a walk-through of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration, MIC: This tray has 8 rows, 4 for Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and 4 for Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Each row has 12 compartments, or wells. The wells have different concentrations (ug/ml) of the antibiotic Oxacillin in them. From Left to Right, the concentration of Oxacillin is going down acillin concentration, pg/ml 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 0.5 0.25 0.13 0.06 0 SA dn The same amount of S. aureus broth culture is added to each well and the tray is incubated. A color change shows that S. aureus grew in a given well. MRSA What is the lowest concentration at which SA is inhibited (does not grow)? 64mg/ml What is the lowest concentration at which MRSA is inhibited? What is the MIC for Oxacillin vs SA?

The plate below is a test of 7 different antibiotics against Enterobacter aerogenes. The center disc is Ciprofloxacin 15 micrograms) and the 24 hour extent of the Zone of Inhibition is the farther diameter. The one below it and slightly to the right is Chloramphenicol (30 micrograms) [see red arrow}. Give me the extent of the Zone of Inhibition in mm (yes, use a ruler and measure it at the size it comes up on your computer screen), then use the Standard Table and determine R, I, S for each. Antibiotic Zone of Inhibition (mm) R, I or S Drug target Ciprofloxacin Chloramphenicol Which of the 2 drugs is more selective and why?
