Abstract:

Community abuse of prescription medication is typically limited to overuse or inappropriate sharing of medication. In jails and prisons, the demand characteristics are dramatically altered, creating an elaborate laboratory for medication alteration, diversion, and abuse. While prescription medications are sometimes used to achieve a ‘high,’ they may also be sought to ease discomforts commonly experienced in a jail or prison. Some may seek stimulating medications to counteract the effects of prescribed sedatives to allow them to be ready to respond to real or perceived dangers. Thus, inmates ma

Abstract:

There are nearly 4 million patients with depression followed by primary care in the United States, with nearly 80% of prescriptions for antidepressants written by non-psychiatrists (Mark et al. 2009). Understanding and utilizing psychopharmacology is a critical skill for primary care physicians, who are often initial or sole prescribers. Persons with medical illnesses and depression are often prescribed a multitude of medications, necessitating attention to pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetics, and an understanding of intended effects, side effects, toxicities, and drug interactions.

Abstract:

The psychostimulants methylphenidate and amphetamine are the most effective and frequently prescribed medications for ADHD. But these agents also have certain limitations; for example, they are controlled substances, and a proportion of patients do not achieve optimal symptom response, or they do not tolerate treatment well. There are two classes of regulatory-approved non-stimulant medications for ADHD, the selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (atomoxetine) and the long-acting alpha-2 adrenergic agonists (guanfacine and clonidine). In addition, several other medication classes have be

Abstract:

While the cost of health care rises in all public healthcare organizations, budgets for that care have remained the same or have decreased. This is most certainly true in correctional settings. Because pharmaceutical expenditures are a substantial percentage of a health care organization’s budget, medication utilization is closely scrutinized. Clinicians must consider the appropriateness, effectiveness, and safety of medications prescribed to incarcerated patients. The abundance of available drugs and the complex issues with respect to their safe and effective use make a sound program for maxi

Clinicians who care for adult cancer patients have many tools to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, cognitive changes, insomnia, and fatigue.

Psychotropic treatments are sometimes required to resolve complex syndromes that mingle both medical and psychiatric features.

Abstract:

One of the most distressing features of a healthcare providers practice is that of patient nonadherence. Adherence refers to an active, voluntary, collaborative involvement of the patient in a mutually acceptable course of behavior to produce a desired preventative or therapeutic result. Most of the research in the area of medical adherence has been focused on medication adherence or increasing the likelihood that a patient will take their medications as prescribed by their physician. Adherence also has a broader application with regards to patient behaviors that can either support or undermin

Abstract:

Despite the development of entirely new classes of anticoagulant medication, vitamin K antagonists like warfarin continue to be commonly prescribed for a wide range of cardiovascular diagnoses. Conversely, the advent of low molecular weight heparin has greatly simplified the use of the drug to the point that patients can dose themselves at home with no need for any type of monitoring. Given the widespread use of these medications, it is not surprising that an increasing number of patients requiring urgent or emergent surgery will present with a medically induced coagulopathy.

Anticholinergic toxidrome can be a side effect of medications or herbal therapies or can result from intentional or inadvertent overdose of prescribed medications or abused substances. The diagnosis of anticholinergic toxicity involves symptomatology, including tachycardia, hyperthermia, central nervous system dysfunction including delirium, and urinary retention. The diagnosis can be challenging, as it is based on clinical symptoms with presentation mimicking other etiologies.

Abstract:

With the growth of polypharmacy across medicine, the concept of deprescribing—reducing or eliminating the use of medication—is gaining traction among prescribers in a range of specialties. Applying this concept to psychiatry is more complex than in other fields of medicine and requires expanding the intervention to include consideration of psychological, social, environmental, and cultural factors. Taking a recovery-oriented and strengths-based approach, this book outlines the need for deprescribing in psychiatry and expands on the intervention to look at barriers and strategies for addressing

AUDs are under-detected, misdiagnosed and often completely missed in older populations. However, despite ageist and pessimistic assumptions, AUDs in older people are as amenable to treatment as in younger people. IMU in older people includes abuse of prescribed medications such as benzodiazepines and opi

There are currently a range of treatments available for anxiety disorders, including pharmacological and behavior-based therapies. The most widely used medications, for which there is considerable evidence of efficacy across a range of anxiety disorders, are the serotonin-selective reuptake inhibitor antidepressants. Benzodiazepines are also widely prescribed and show efficacy for acute anxiety, but their use in the treatment of chronic anxiety syndromes is more problematic.

Toxic myopathy symptoms range from myalgia and muscle cramps to severe weakness, bearing similarities to a number of other muscle conditions. Thus, when evaluating patients with muscle symptoms, an iatrogenic muscle problem should always be considered, to be able to distinguish a toxic from any other myopathy early on, preventing further muscle damage and to potentially reverse muscle injury by withdrawal of the toxic agent. Various commonly prescribed medications, as well as illicit drugs, may cause muscle damage. These substances may cause muscle injury through direct myotoxic effects, or in

There is extraordinary cross-national variation in the availability of prescription psychoactive drugs, with most prescription drug use being concentrated in developed countries. A variety of measures aim to prevent abuses such as ‘doctor shopping’ and diversion of psychopharmaceuticals from the medical and pharmacy systems. The evidence suggests that prescription regimes affect the prescribing practices of doctors, often resulting in substitution. Price can be used to channel demand between two drugs that are substitutes for each other, moving demand from a drug with more adverse consequences

Drugs are used to treat, salvage, and protect the brain. This book provides information on how to prescribe and monitor the drugs most frequently used in the emergency department and the neurosciences critical care unit. Each drug is discussed in great detail to allow for its efficient use and to allow the recognition of drug-related problems. The book explains how these drugs work and what the body does with the drug in the acutely ill neurologic patient. It provides guidance on how these drugs are best administered and revisits how we can most effectively practice medication reconciliation.
