Ans: Groups of medications that have similar actions often will have similar-sounding generic names, such as the antibiotic group. Amoxicillin and ampicillin are examples. If a generic medication is made by several different pharmaceutical companies, it is given a brand or trade name.

Difference between a generic drug and a trade name would be that the generic drug is the real name of the drug while the trade name are code names for the drugs
example: marijuana for generic and trade names for it can be pot, tree, zaazaa, leaf etc.
another example can be cocaine for the generic name and the trade name is snow

Answer:

1.) Abnormal parameters:

  • Difficulty focusing (confusion)
  • Elevated heart rate (tachycardia), with thready and weak pulse quality
  • Elevated respiratory rate (tachypnea). Rapid and shallow respiration.
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension)
  • Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia)
  • Low serum sodium (hyponatremia)
  • High serum potassium (hyperkalemia)
  • High ACTH
  • Low cortisol (hypocortisolism) (Note: this lab values are obtained normally at 8am, due to its physiological curve)

2.) Addison’s disease

  • Confusion: Hyponatremia causes confusion, due to neuronal imbalance.
  • Tachycardia: Inmediate response to hypotension, so as to maintain a adequate cardiac output.
  • Tachypnea: Hyperkalemia produces an acid-base imbalance (acidemia), which normally can be compensated by changes in the respiratory rate.
  • Hypotension: hyponatremia produces reduced water retention in blood vessels, affecting blood pressure
  • Hypoglycemia: hypocortisolism directly affects blood glucose (decreased gluconeogenesis)
  • Hyponatremia: Sodium retention will be reduced due to the absence of Aldosterone,
  • Hyperkalemia: Potassium excretion will be reduced due to the absence of Aldosterone.
  • High ACTH: No negative feedback inhibits the production of ACTH (depends on cortisol level).
  • Hypocortisolism: Due to the non functioning cortex of adrenal gland, no cortisol is being produced.

Explanation:

Addison’s disease, also known as adrenal insufficiency, is a set of characteristic signs and symptom caused by the failure of the adrenal gland to produce steroid hormones, mainly Cortisol and in some cases Aldosterone.  This syndrome presents various causes, incluiding autoinmune disease, infectious, and infiltration by cancerous cells.
