Answer:

The drug doses mentioned in the patient chart are in normal dosage limits. However, Tylenol shall be discontinued.

Explanation:

Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic drug and its mechanism of action is only limited to central nervous system. Acetaminophen does not produce antiplatelet effects and does not interfere with COX 1 and COX 2 inhibition by NSAIDs i.e. Ibuprofen. Hence it is safe to use Ibuprofen with Acetaminophen or hydrocodone/ acetaminophen. However, both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Hydrocodone/ acetaminophen cannot be used in combination because the daily acetaminophen dose becomes too high. High dose of acetaminophen may cause serious side effects such as congestion, swelling, sweating, unusual bleeding, and stomach pain. Acetaminophen lowers body temperature and increases the threshold for pain but does not affect inflammation. Hence, NSAIDs are given in combination to reduce inflammation but high doses may lead to bleeding, stroke and other cardiovascular symptoms. It is safe to take albuterol with NSAIDs and acetaminophen, as it reduces congestion and improves breathing.

Some athletic women, in their obsession to lose weight , consume a very low calorie and low protein diet " Vegetarian" diet lead to Amenorrhea.

What is Amenorrhea?

  • Amenorrhoea is the absence of menstrual periods.
  • Athletic amenorrhoea can happen to women who are exceptional athletes or who regularly engage in extreme exercise.
  • Low levels of body fat and the impact of hormones linked to exercise on the menstrual cycle are suggested to be contributing factors.
  • It has repeatedly been demonstrated that compared to peers who have regular periods, women who experience extended amenorrhea have reduced bone mineral density. Additionally, athletes with amenorrhea are more likely to experience stress fractures (microscopic overuse injuries of the bone).
  • Your amenorrhea's underlying cause will determine your course of treatment. Your menstrual cycles may occasionally be restarted by birth control tablets or other hormone treatments. Medicines may be used to treat amenorrhea brought on by thyroid or pituitary abnormalities.
