On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, I cover medications 81 through 85 on the top 200 drug list.
Famotidine is an H2 blocker. H2 blockers are less potent than PPIs but can be used to manage heartburn symptoms.
Aspirin is technically an NSAID but is primarily used for cardioprophylaxis purposes.
Senna is a stimulant laxative. I often see this medication used with opioids to help manage opioid-induced constipation.
Novolog is a rapid acting insulin used to bring down post prandial blood sugars. I discuss sliding scale insulin and other concepts with this medication.
Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant. It has central nervous system depressant effects which can be especially problematic in elderly patients.
