Rx Tidbits from Nick

If somebody is not getting adequate relief from morphine they can take dextromethorphan OTC and that will increase morphine levels by inhibiting the metabolism of morphine by 2D6.

Quinolones can increase your risk for seizure by enhancing the release of glutamine, a neurotransmitter involved with seizures.

Nick -- what did you say about lasix? Was it that Lasix is bid 6 hrs apart and that is how it got part of it's name -- lasix? Please correct me if I am wrong.
