Project Roots

» Many advertisements and campaigns that exist educates society about what foods they consume and how it affects their bodies » The same kind of awareness for medical drugs is difficult to find

Methodology

» Aimed towards educating young children and an older audience (50+ years) » Passive approach to educating target group » Research into what the public already knows and what they need to know about medical drugs » Choosing to work with only over-the-counter drugs rather than all pharmaceutical drugs

Research Results

» Lack of knowledge on over-the-counter drugs » Medication can be taken for wrong symptoms » Lack of educational workshops or awareness of knowledge on medical drugs » Most of the target audience prefers private learning

Ibuprofen

Pregnancy: Not usually prescribed. May af- fect the unborn baby and may prolong labour. Discuss with physician. Breast-feeding: The drug passes into the breast milk, but at normal doses adverse effects on the baby are unlikely. Discuss with your physician Infants/children: Reduced dose necessary Over 60: Reduced dose may be necessary Alcohol: Avoid: Alcohol may increase the risk of stomach disorders with ibuprofen Surgery and general anesthetics: Ibupro- fen may prolong bleeding. Discuss the possi- bility of stopping ttreatment tetemporarily with your physician or dentists Special Precautions Via tablet, chewable tablets, gel caps, liquids 4–6 times daily (general pain relief) 3–4 times daily with food (arthirirtis) Pain relief begins in 1–2 hours. The full anti- inflammatory effect in arthritic conditions may not be felt for up to 2 weeks. The dura- tion of action is between 5–10 hours. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you
  • remember. If your next dose is due within 2
hours, take a single dose now and skip the next. When taken for a short-term pain relief, the drug can be safely stopped as soon as you no longer need it. Follow instructions on the label. Call your physician if symptoms worsen. Dosage Information Product Names: » Advil » Apo-ibuprofen » Motrin » Novo-Profen » Nu-Ibuprofen Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which, like other drugs in this group, reduces pain, stiffness, and inflammation. It is an effective treatment fo the stmptoms of
  • steoarthiritis, and gout. In the treatment of rheumatoid arthiritis, ibuprofen may be prescribed
with slower-acting drugs. Other uses of the drug include the relief of mild to moderate headache, menstrual and dental pain, pain resulting from soft tissue injuries, or the pain that may follow an operation. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Note Be sure to consult your physician if: » You have a long-term kidney problem » You have a long-term liver problem » You have high blood pressure » You have had a peptic ulcer, esophagitis,
  • r acid indigestion
» You are allergic to ASA » You have asthma » You are taking other medications Additional Information General Note: Ibuprofen interacts with a wide range of drugs to increase the risk of bleeding and/or peptic ulcers. Such drugs include othe rnon-steroidal anti-inflamma- tory drugs (NSAIDs), ASA, oral anticoagu- lants, and corticosteroids. Ciprofloxacin: The risk of seizures with this drug and related antibiotics may be increased by ibuprofen Antihypertensive drugs and diuretics: The beneficial effects of these drugs may be reduced by ibuprofen Lithium, digoxin, and methatrexate: Ibuprofen may increase the blood levels of these drugs to an undesirable extent Prolonged use: There is an increased risk of bleeding from peptic ulcers and in the bowel with prolonged use of ibuprofen. Side effects: » Heartburn/indigestion is common. Discuss with physician if severe » Nausea/vomiting is rare. Discuss with phy- sician if severe » Rashes occuring is rare. Stop taking the drug now and discuss with physician. » Wheezing/breathlessness or black/blood- stained feces is rare. Stop taking the drug now, Call and discuss with the physician immediately » Swoleen feet/ankles or ringing in the ears is rare. Discuss with physician. Interactions Possible Adverse Effects

Acetaminophen.

Is kept in the home to relieve occasional bouts of mild pain and to reduce fever. It is suitable for children as well as adults. one of the primary advantages is that it does not cause stomach upset of bleed- ing problems, making it a useful alternative for people for suffer from peptic ulcers or those who canot tolerate ASA. the drug is also safe for those who are being treated with anticoagulants.

Methods

Onset of Effect Duration Overdose

Interactions Anticoagulants such as warfarin may need dosage adjustment if acetaminophen is taken regularly in high doses. Cholestyramine reduces the absorbtion of acetamin-

Overdose Danger? HIGH Dependence Risk? LOW Available as generic? YES Although safe when used as directed, acat- aminophen is dangerous when taken in over- dose, and it is capable of causing seruious damage to the liver and kidneys. large doses may also be toxic if you drink even moderate amounds of alchohol.

PRECAUTIONS

Pregnancy// Safety not established. Breast-feeding// Safety not established. Infants and Children// Reduced dose necessary. Over 60// Reduced dose necessary. Increased likelihood of adverse effects. Driving and Hazardous Work// Can cause drowsiness, dizziness and blurred vision. Alcohol// May increase the sedative effects of this drug.

HOW TO TAKE

Drowsiness/dizziness Digestive disturbances Diffjculty in passing urine Dry mouth Blurr ed vision Excitation Rash

INTERACTIONS

Anticholingeric drugs and similar drugs to it are likely to increase the anticholingeric drug of chloriniramine. The effects of phenytoin may be enhanced by chlorpheniramine. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and tricylic antidepressants may increase the side effects of chlorpheniramine. All drugs with a sedative effect are likely to increase the sedative properties of chlorpheniramine.
