a.) What three types of preparations do you think he was prescribed? b.) Why did he probably experience his first tablet so positively on the trip? c.) Why, however, in the long run it is insufficient - and directly inappropriate - to treat heart failure with furosemide alone
multi-tasker Solbert (70) had become "bad" in the last days in connection with a budget cruise in the Mediterranean - and by a temporarily familiar fellow passenger got some tablets that "bums" had made him "great". Once back in Sweden, he contacts the health service for safety - there it is found that the patient suffers from heart failure ("incipient NYHA III"). Solbert is turned on adequate pharmacotherapy (three different types of drugs) - of which he regarding a drug happy recognizes the name "furosemide" - that was the name of the "perfect tablets" he got on the boat! After a few months, however, it is found that the patient's condition is not as good as expected and after a while he admits that he only took furosemide ("they were, after all so good! ") - but ignored the other two preparations.
a.) What three types of preparations do you think he was prescribed?
b.) Why did he probably experience his first tablet so positively on the trip? c.) Why, however, in the long run it is insufficient - and directly inappropriate - to treat heart failure with furosemide alone?
