في الوريد : اما 500 او 1000 طبعا مايستحقش اختبار حساسيه و في الوصفه تلقاه مكتوب باسم perfergan or paracetamol or panadol iv
لو بتعطيه في الوريد لبيبي يفضل ببطء هلبه و ماتعطيشي اكثر من 50 ملي فقط فقط
بس في الكبار عادي
زرابيط: 80 125 150 250 300 500mg

لو بتعطيه شروبو بتحول 180 للمليات مش تعرف قداش ملي بتعطيه
في الصيدليه عندك زوز تركيزات اما 125 مج او 250 مج لكل 5 ملي
180×5/125= 7.2 ml

Long QT1 - usually associated with exertional syncope, often swimming.  Long QT2 - often associated with syncope occurring following emotional stress, exercise or auditory stimuli e.g. doorbell or telephone ring.  Long QT3 - events often occur at night or at rest.  Sudden cardiac death.  Diagnosis is based upon the QTc (corrected QT interval), although this may be within the normal range at rest; hence Holter ECG monitoring is recommended.  Identification of an LQTS genetic mutation confirms the diagnosis. However, a negative result on genetic testing is of limited diagnostic value because only approximately 50% of patients with LQTS have known mutations. The remaining half of patients with LQTS may have mutations of yet unknown gene.

Selected Important Safety Information
Contraindications

Tresiba® is contraindicated during episodes of hypoglycemia and in patients with hypersensitivity to Tresiba® or one of its excipients

Warnings and Precautions

Never Share a Tresiba® FlexTouch® Pen Between Patients, even if the needle is changed. Sharing poses a risk for transmission of blood-borne pathogens
Monitor blood glucose in all patients treated with insulin. Changes in insulin may affect glycemic control. These changes should be made cautiously and under medical supervision. Adjustments in concomitant oral anti-diabetic treatment may be needed
Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction of insulin, including Tresiba®, and may be life-threatening

Indications and Usage

Tresiba® (insulin degludec injection) is indicated to improve glycemic control in adults with diabetes mellitus.
Limitations of Use

Tresiba® is not recommended for treating diabetic ketoacidosis.
Important Safety Information
Contraindications

Tresiba® is contraindicated during episodes of hypoglycemia and in patients with hypersensitivity to Tresiba® or one of its excipients

Warnings and Precautions

Never Share a Tresiba® FlexTouch® Pen Between Patients, even if the needle is changed. Sharing poses a risk for transmission of blood-borne pathogens
Monitor blood glucose in all patients treated with insulin. Changes in insulin may affect glycemic control. These changes should be made cautiously and under medical supervision. Adjustments in concomitant oral anti-diabetic treatment may be needed
Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction of insulin, including Tresiba®, and may be life-threatening. Increase monitoring with changes to: insulin dose, co-administered glucose lowering medications, meal pattern, physical activity; and in patients with hypoglycemia unawareness or renal or hepatic impairment
Accidental mix-ups between basal insulin products and other insulins, particularly rapid-acting insulins, have been reported. To avoid medication errors, always instruct patients to check the insulin label before each injection
Severe, life-threatening, generalized allergy, including anaphylaxis, can occur with insulin products, including Tresiba®
As with all insulins, Tresiba® use can lead to life-threatening hypokalemia, which then may cause respiratory paralysis, ventricular arrhythmia, and death. Closely monitor potassium levels in patients at risk of hypokalemia and treat if indicated
Fluid retention and heart failure can occur with concomitant use of thiazolidinediones (TZDs), which are PPAR-gamma agonists, and insulin, including Tresiba®. Patients should be observed for signs and symptoms of heart failure. If heart failure occurs, dosage reduction or discontinuation of the TZD must be considered

Adverse Reactions

Adverse reactions commonly associated with Tresiba® are hypoglycemia, allergic reactions, injection site reactions, lipodystrophy, pruritus, rash, edema, and weight gain

Drug Interactions

Certain drugs may affect glucose metabolism, requiring insulin dose adjustment and close monitoring of blood glucose. The signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia may be reduced or absent in patients taking anti-adrenergic drugs (e.g., beta-blockers, clonidine, guanethidine, and reserpine)
