MEDICATIONS / TREATMENT GIVEN
DRUG THERAPEUTIC ACTION
Doxazosin are known to relax prostate smooth muscle through blockade of 1-adrenergic innervation to the prostate. This action alone however does not fully account for the longterm clinical responses exerted by these drugs in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
INDICATION
CONTRAINDICA TION
SIDE EFFECTS ADVERSE REACTIONS
NURSING RESPONSIBI LITY
Hypersens.
CARDURA(DOXAZOSIN)
urinary outflow obstruction and obstructive and irritative symptoms associated with BPH
hypotension hepatic impairmen cataract surgery
Dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, drowsiness, trouble sleeping, weight gain, joint/muscle pain, or decreased sexual ability/interest
- Monitor blood pressure. - Instruct to Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position.
AVODART
(dutasteride)
Antihyperglycemic that decreases hepatic production of glucose. Improves glycemic control and improves lipid profile
symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate
hypersens. hepatic impairment
decreased sex drive, impotence, and abnormal ejaculation.
- Monitor fasting blood glucose and renal function.
Inform that pregnant should not handle AVODART due to the potential risk of a specific birth defect.
treatment of hyperphosphatemia or as a calcium supplement in chronic kidney disease. Successfully normalizes phosphate concentrations in patients with chronic kidney disease. Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium can also bind to other minerals (such as phosphate) and aid in their removal from the body.
an irregular heartbeat nausea, vomiting, or decreased appetite
Oystercal(Calcium carbonate)
Renal calculi; hypercalcemia; hypophosphatemia; digitalis toxicity
dry mouth constipation weakness headache a metallic taste muscle or bone pain; or drowsiness
- monitor blood pressure - monitor the cardiac rate - assess for tenderness in the muscles or in bones.
Calcitriol (Rocaltrol )
To control serum inorganic phosphate levels and dietary phosphate absorption in patients undergoing dialysis, oral aluminum carbonate or aluminum hydroxide gel must be used. Magnesium containing antacids may contribute towards hypermagnesemia in patients on chronic kidney disease.
Calcitriol Injection is indicated in the management of hypocalcemia in patients undergoing chronic kidney failure,it significantly reduce elevated parathyroid hormone levels.
hypersensitivity; hypercalcemia; malabsorption syndrome
Severe allergic reactions , bone pain; constipation; decreased sex drive; diarrhea; difficult or painful urination; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; eye redness or irritation; fever; flushing; frequent urination; headache; increased body temperature; increased thirst; irregular heartbeat; loss of appetite; mental or mood changes; metallic taste; muscle pain; nausea.
Dizziness,
- Monitor for allergenic reactions - Monitor vital signs - Monitor for the irregular heartbeats - Monitor for eye redness or irritation - Monitor for the intake and output
Finasteride
To determine a potential
It is administered in
Hypersensitivity
- Monitor vital
(Proscar)
mode of action for finasteride in prostatic cell proliferation, we have studied the incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into the DNA of cultured epithelial and stromal cells from normal and hyperplastic human prostates.
combination with the alpha-blocker doxazosin is indicated to reduce the risk of symptomatic progression of BPH
to any component of this medication. Pregnancy.
lightheadednes s, nausea, drowsiness, trouble sleeping, weight gain, joint/muscle pain, or decreased sexual ability/interest
signs - Monitor for joint and muscle pain
Flomax ( tamsulosin )
The therapeutic action of Flomax is as a smooth muscle relaxant for the bladder outlet and the prostate gland; relaxation of the prostate decreases obstruction of the bladder outlet, allowing easier emptying of the bladder.
Flomax (tamsulosin hydrochloride) capsules are indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). FLOMAX capsules are not indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
hypersensitive to tamsulosin hydrochloride or any component of FLOMAX capsules.
Back pain; blurred vision; cough; decreased sexual ability; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; lightheadedne ss; runny or stuffy nose; sinus inflammation; trouble sleeping; weakness.
- Monitor for a sinus inflammation - Monitor intake and output - Monitor blood pressure
