What Is Neurontin? Neurontin (gabapentin) is an antiepileptic drug (AED), also called an anticonvulsant, that can help treat epilepsy or postherpetic neuralgia. Despite the name, it does not affect gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system. Gabapentin binds with voltage-activated calcium channels, which normally mediate nerve activity. However, it is not clear how this action impacts the clinical effects of the medication. Gabapentin is the generic formulation of the drug, and there are several brand-name versions, including Neurontin. It is available as a tablet, a capsule, and an oral solution. Drug Facts Generic Name: Gabapentin Brand Name(s): Neurontin Drug Availability: Prescription Therapeutic Classification: Anticonvulsant Available Generically: Yes Controlled Substance: N/A Administration Route: Oral Active Ingredient: Gabapentin Dosage Form(s): Tablet, extended-release 24-hour tablet, capsule...

Yes, fentanyl is indeed an opioid. This synthetic, or lab-made, opioid is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) . And that's not necessarily a bad thing. When used correctly, pharmaceutical fentanyl can be a powerful tool for managing severe pain. But you've likely heard about fentanyl being found in other drugs, creating an ongoing overdose crisis. Keep in mind that the majority of fentanyl-related overdose deaths in the United States involve illegally manufactured fentanyl. This is different from pharmaceutical fentanyl — more on this later. Read on for a closer look at what fentanyl is, including what it can and can't do. Opioids are a group of drugs mainly used to treat pain. Along with fentanyl, some other opioids include: The effects of opioids, including fentanyl, vary depending on the dose and whether they're mixed with alcohol or other drugs.

© Bloopiers Clinical microbiology laboratories are critical infrastructures for the early detection and reporting of infectious diseases, and are most effective when organised into an integrated, multi-level network, enabling timely access to appropriate diagnostic tools at each level. Such tiered settings are well-established in Northern Europe and North America for example. However, the situation in the field in resource- restricted settings is markedly different, where clinical microbiology laboratories might exist in isolated pockets of excellence or be altogether absent. The current COVID-19 pandemic and the necessary response to the repeated waves, highlighted the needs and weaknesses of existing systems. Furthermore, whil...

A legal battle in Oklahoma over whether prisoners feel severe pain after being given the sedative, midazolam, will determine whether its use is constitutional. The status of executions across the country has been in turmoil for more than a decade, ever since pharmaceutical companies began halting their delivery of the most widely used drugs for executions. State prison systems were left to create cocktails of the drugs they could still get their hands on, often relying on one sedative in particular, midazolam, to start the execution process. But the lethal new formulations have led to legal challenges across the country, with death row prisoners and their lawyers arguing that the sedative now in use in about half a dozen states is ineffective at its primary purpose: keeping prisoners from feeling pain as they die. The first full trial on the challenges to midazolam played out this past week in Oklahoma, where a prisoner vomited and shook for several minutes after he was injected with t...
