To be more specific if a patient takes 0.5mg of clonezepam what is the half-life.And when he takes 0.25mg of clonezepam what is the halflife.
Also when he takes 1mg,2mg,etc what is the half life.
It would also help if i can get a formula that can give me the relation between old halflife & new halflife when the dose is changed.If the dose of a medicine is changed to x times the original value then how will the half-life change?
I am not a pharmacist and can not say positively for that medication.
Some medications the half life is a fixed constant. if 1 gram becomes 0.5 left in the blood stream in 1 hr, then 10 grams becomes 5 grams in 1 hr.
Some medications don't have a "half life" they have a fixed metabolization rate. your liver can process appx 0.75 oz of alcohol per hour. it does not matter if BAC is 0.001 or 0.35. (except that the 0.001 will be completely gone before 1 hr is finished)
some medications will have a sort of "combined" version... some being metabolized at the fixed rate and some half-life effect.
I didn't think the half life changed when you changed the dose if there are first degree kinetics (most drugs). In this case the reports I have seen on the internet say that the half life is about 35 hours (depending on the patient).

If the cigarette company...?
changed the stuff in the cigarettes that made it less addicting and no one new of it what do you think that would happen? I think that everyone would go insaine like if we would get rid of drugs but huh? cigaretts are a drug... HUH>... think about it..If the cigarette company...?
So if the cigarette companies took the nicotine out, would people go insane due to withdrawl?
Possibly- but let's say the company does this gradually....
No- due to the Placebo Effect, people will still believe that they are getting their Nicotine fix as long as they believe so....
If the companies (who would have to be put through unbelievable alien water torture) decided to ween people off gently, who knows the possibilities? Then again, people would still die from smoking- over 400 poisons in one cigarette.
Yeah Good idea. How about a cigarette when inhaled produces Oxygen ;-?
Tobacco companies should just listen to you. but they want people to get addicted ..what do they really care who they kill?
good idea but no cigar..i thought about it and think you are dreaming
If someone is around people who smoke weed on a daily basis, but doesn't smoke it, will it show up on a drug t
Will it show up on a drug test. I should probably add that it is a urine test.If someone is around people who smoke weed on a daily basis, but doesn't smoke it, will it show up on a drug t
Yes, it might. It's called passive use.
Yes.
YES, SO STOP HANGING AROUND THEM WHILE THEY'RE SMOKING!!!
If someone bonks me on the head and it sounds like hollow wood, is that a bad thing?
If someone bonks me on the head and it sounds like hollow wood, is that a bad thing?
????? Thump, thump, BOOM! ????
I LIKE drums!
yyyyeeesssss.......
are you serious?! um... yea it's bad but it can't exactly sound hoolow. do you have a brain? i'm assuming you do so your head can't sound hollow.
no, the density of our brains is less than the skull surrounding it. This will give it that sound.
However, hitting your head could damage neurons and lead to injury (short and long term)
are you running for president ?
they all sound empty headed to me
the hollow sound is natural but if you got bonked hard enuff go to the doctors or hospital
Nah! But if little white things start coming out of your ears, see a termite exterminator immediately.
If rice is so fattening, why are there so few fat Asians?
If rice is so fattening, why are there so few fat Asians?
I didnt know rice was fattening!! Anyways, ppl in alot of asian countries don't eat meat and it's not like we eat chinese resturant food. And as for the dude who sed that there's no fast foods in asia, have you ever BEEN there? dude, it's like FULL of mcdonald's and kfc's. whee
other than that, i have no idea.
they work it off!
cause in asia it is like so hot. the heat helps you sweat off a lot of weight. plus, there isn't a lot of burgers and other fattening foods there.
The few chubby Asians of today aren't eating just the rice they did years ago. They are more modern and not all big people are big because of eating. They can have a thyroid problem which makes them that way. There's much more to it than eating. My mother ate about 1000 calories a day (she had a heart problem) but she still weighed 200lbs until her doctor started her taking thyroid meds and then she dropped weight fast.
If my parents are like 5'4 and 5'6, does that garentee that i'm going to be around their height?
like around 5'4 or 5'5? or 5'6
cuz right now i'm 14 and only 5'1.5 and i got my period like when i was 12.75 years oldIf my parents are like 5'4 and 5'6, does that garentee that i'm going to be around their height?
Chances are you will be 5'6" or shorter....but guaranteed? No. There are no guarantees. You could be taller, sure. No way to know till you are about 20. Then you'll be done growing. And your period has nothing to do with it.
yeah.. ask ur mom about ur period
im sad.. my dad is 6 and my mom is 5'2.. if im around there ill die
You may not be the same size as your parents. Are your grandparents taller. Sometimes the height gene can come from them.
My husband and I are not tall, but our sons are.
You'll probably be around 5'5" (add the height of your parents and divide by 2) -- gives you an average height (unless you have an abnormal growth hormone in which case could be much different).
Not necessarily, usually there can be a trip up due to family genes. For example older family members ( great grandparents ) might have been short and the gene in your family is for short height to occurs every so many generations.
My ex-husband & I are both 5'3", so you'd think our children would be somewhere around my height. My sisters were 6'1" and 5'9" though. My children are 5'8" and 6'.
If mobile phones cause cancer, why don't more people have tumours in their hands?
Just one of those strange questions one thinks of in the daydreaming hours :)If mobile phones cause cancer, why don't more people have tumours in their hands?
most probably bcos our brain cells are much more sensitive compared to skin
there is no proof whatsoever that cell phones cause tumors or cancer. so this question doesnt really make sense. sorry!!!
Because its just another way for the government to control us and make us scared of stupid things, that arent really all that threatening.
My Question would have been - why don't guys get tumors 'near their pockets' from keeping them in their pockets all the time!!
If men could get pregnant do you think abortion would not only be legal but federally funded?
If men could get pregnant do you think abortion would not only be legal but federally funded?
Amazing question. Makes me think. Yes, youre right. Sometimes it does seem like a man's world.
LMAO!!! Probobly your right. Good question,LOL!!!
yes
...most probably
Yes to to be being legal, no to Fed funding. I'm sure that people would be a lot more careful about how they have sex, though.
yep. the realities of life....sigh....
1st, I am pro-life so my answer will be NOT what you're seeking. Abortion is a moral issue for each individual, male or female. A living human fetus has rights, but no voice to be heard saying "Please don't kill me. I want to live!"
Just because our legislature is made up of mostly men doesn't mean a vote of this nature would necessarily have any different outcome than it would if the legislature would consist mostly of women.
Should abortion ever become legal, this nation will further it's moral degradation.
The question you pose is a matter of opinion and only submitted to stir the controversy that surrounds the issue of abortion.
lol sure enough....
If masturbation is harmful ..then sex should also be ..why is that sex does not make a man impotent?.?
If masturbation is harmful ..then sex should also be ..why is that sex does not make a man impotent?.?
masturbation is actually good for you and reduces the risk of prostate cancer so whale away man, no hairy palms, or any other weird myth will happen.
Masturbation in and of itself is not harmful. It only becomes harmful if done improperly or if overdone. Same as sex.
masturbation is not harmful so don't let anyone tell you that. The only way masturbation is harmful is when you let it interfere with your everyday life or if you start doing it in inappropriate places, otherwise masturbation is the healthiest and safest way to explore your sexuality
This idea that masturbation is harmful is an old superstition. It does not cause impotence or any other malady.
Catholics, based on a misinterpretation of the biblical story of Onan, consider it to be a sin. It isn't.
i know about why sex does not make a man impotent and u can get More details on our web site
If left untreated,how long would it take for a bloodclot in the lower leg to travel to the lungs?
If left untreated,how long would it take for a bloodclot in the lower leg to travel to the lungs?
Some blood clots never move, especially if they are in superficial veins. Deep vein clot (thrombosis - DVT) is much more dangerous as it involves the larger veins which have a direct connection to the inferior vena cava and the heart. From there it can go to the lungs (pulmonary embolus) or to the brain/kidneys/intestines if you have a common heart defect called a patent foramen ovale. If you haven't gotten a medical opinion, you should seek one immediately.
It could never happen, or it could happen with no warning, instantly. You really need to get the proper treatment.
If iam allergic to fish can i take calcium made from seashells?
If iam allergic to fish can i take calcium made from seashells?
I would call your doctor about that. Or if you really need to on a Sunday call your Local Hospital's Emergency Room
NO
im not sure so ask your doctor or drink milk instead because its much better for you and has calcium in it
I think it depends. Are you only allergic to fish or to shellfish as well? Ask your doctor before you take the wrong stuff.
You probably shouldn't. There's always a risk of cross-contamination. I know it's a pain, I have a nut allergy and I've been caught out by a bar person eating nuts and then pouring my drink! It's not worth the risk when there are other ways to get your calcium.
If I were to give a conference in a USA hospital which topic will be of interest? (Latinoamerican Dr.)?
If I were to give a conference in a USA hospital which topic will be of interest? (Latinoamerican Dr.)?
Perhaps cover topics which are specific to Latinoamericans
I would definitely give it on Chagas or a disease that you have more commonly in Latin Amerca that we don't see that often here. You should tell us what to look for and treatment (include lots of pictures). That way when we see these diseases in recent immigrants and travelers we can make the right diagnosis.
Good luck!!
MRSA. This is a disease that is running rampant now. It is not just in the hospitals, but out in the community. You can now get it quite easily, and the major cause is because people are not using hand hygiene. It affects one culture as much as another.
Drug treatment and prevention of abuse.
How about a salsa recipe.
Taking children off the awful drug concertaer 54mg METHLPHENIDATE and ritalin.....................

If I wera glasses or lens does my vision improve?
Becuase i think it doesn't at all. I need and operation to imrove my sightIf I wera glasses or lens does my vision improve?
Glasses do not improve your eyesight but only improve your eyesight with your glasses on, then they go back to normal. Here is a website that will allow you to improve your eyesight without surgery.
Glasses that are correct for you will help your vision.
no, your eyes become dependent on glasses and most of the time will get worse when you get old. the surgery is a good idea, but you will still need reading glasses when you get old most likely.
No. Glasses correct vision defects, but definitely, do not improve vision. It is eventually right the contrary.
If I was ultra rich I still wouldn't be able to afford ..?
If I was ultra rich I still wouldn't be able to afford ..
1. To eat as much ice-cream as I want without getting sick (I would like to stay thin)
2. To drink as much Coke without getting nauseous (I completely stopped drinking soda-pop)
3. To stay up late without being a tired the next day (I am a night owl)
4. To watch TV all day without getting stiff and lazy
5. Eat all the chocolate in the world without compromising my health
6. Not to exercise and expect to feel vital.
7. Stay mad at my mother when she says stuff I don't like to hear.
........
WHAT about you?If I was ultra rich I still wouldn't be able to afford ..?
Good question! If I was ultra rich I still wouldn't be able to afford ..
not have perverted guys check me out all the time.

never be mad or sad

(since you gave me seven, i gave you seven too. :))
It sounds like you have it figured out and are correct on every count.
I still couldn't bring back loving relatives that have past on.
I couldn't stop he madness of terrorists.
I couldn't stop climate change.
To all of the exercise reasons --- you would have enough money to buy a personal trainer, a therapist, and exercise equiment.
If I take pepto-bismol for nasuea/queezines, can I take an advil-for-migranes about an hour later? Thanks.?
If I take pepto-bismol for nasuea/queezines, can I take an advil-for-migranes about an hour later? Thanks.?
Pepto doesn't contain pain relievers, so yes you can take Advil with pepto in your system.
Always allow 1 hour between medicines. Some medicines must be taken further apart. Taking pepto and advil won't hurt you a hour apart.
Yes, don't worry. Hope you feel better!
you can take them together. There are no drug interactions between the two. Pepto-bismol has an ingredient similar to aspirin called bismuth subsalicylate, but no ingredients related to ibuprofen (advil).
Yes, you can. Pepto does not contain acetaminophen.
If I swallowed a really long piece of sting, while keeping the one end hanging out of my mouth...?
would the other end of the string come out of the same hole as my solid waste does?If I swallowed a really long piece of sting, while keeping the one end hanging out of my mouth...?
Yes, it would, and many fakirs have done this trick
I feel like your stomach would digest the string. And if it were possible, it would be extremely uncomfortable to have a string, in your throat for the length of the digestion. Actually, it would probably inhibit your breathing because there are involuntary muscles that flap back and forth to keep liquid and food out of your lungs.
If I stay up 2 nights in a row, will it have long term effects?
If I stay up 2 nights in a row, will it have long term effects?
Well Guitar dude
It very easily could
when you don't get proper rest-- especially for that length of time---the body gets very fatigued and the brain gets somewhat cloudy and the reaction times go down and the cognitive and rationalization processes suffer a major blow !!!
SO
You could possibly have a situation that would call on your very well being or the well being of others into play that you would not be able to cope with either in time or in good judgement --- SO--- that-- believe me --- could have some VERY long term effects !!!!
i dont think so u just gotta get rest after that
Probably not. Unless you keep doing it, or you're doing it with the aid of some substance that is itself harmful.
God bless.
I don't know about that, but I do know that if you stay up for more than 3 days, you are considered legally insane.
Staying awake for too long causes the body to go crazy... Experiments have shown people to hallucinate, suffer from mild and short-term dementia, and in some rare cases: death.
u mean all night? well, no, it shouldn't but make sure you get your rest
Well, what do you think soldiers have had to do for CENTURIES in wars.
lose 2 years
Do seek professional help. It's not healhthy.
If I sneeze with my eyes open - will my eyeballs fly out?
If I sneeze with my eyes open - will my eyeballs fly out?
Only if you're a Toon.
You mean you dont know ??
first of all, its impossible for a man to sneeze without closing the eyes. its part of our body mechanism that every time we sneeze, we close our eyes.
Theoretically yes.
No.
That is a funny question!
No they won't, the muscles that hold the eyes in their sockets are too strong, thus the eyeballs will fly out or even fall out!
Try it, and if they do, just suck the fluff off and pop them back in!
No, but if you manage to sneeze with your eyes open I'd give you a lot of money.
Of course not...LOL
Yes, that is why your eyes shut when you sneeze.
I can't keep my eyes open while I'm sneezing...can you? Maybe we should find some guy with no eyelids and see if that is a concern to him?
If you have gas though, and you try to hold it in when you are sneezing, I'm pretty sure either your eyes or the flatulence will pop out.
I've tried and tried to get my eyes to launch. They won't.
why dont you try and see and let me know how it goes! k? lol its impossible to sneeze with your eyes open though! just like its impossible to lick your elbow...lol
If i read too much will my eyes explode?
If i read too much will my eyes explode?
Haha, no. They wont. They may get tired or sore, but they wont explode.
YES!
No, but the headache that you'll get will make you wish that your whole head would explode.
um, no.
is that a serious question???
No.. You might get smarter and stop asking silly questions.
No, I don't think your eyes will explode if you read too much but they might get sore and you might get tired. It's awesome that you like to read!
not only that but they will catch on fire
If i play sports 7 days a week will marijuana get out my system in less than 30 days?
If i play sports 7 days a week will marijuana get out my system in less than 30 days?
After THC breaks down, it becomes metabolites that bind to your fat cells. So in theory it could work if you burn a lot of fat. But unless you smoke habitually marihuana will be removed from your system in a matter of days.
nope
maybe, but you should try not putting it in there to begin with, if you're going to have to worry about getting it out. i don't think you can just sweat it out, though.
Now you know better than that....
