Okay i’m here today to talk about cylonor selanor is also known as doxyprint solenoid is a tricyclic antidepressant it is a new drug in the sense that the fda only recently approved it however the chemical compound of doxum has been around for a long time you may be wondering why am i talking about a drug which has been around for a long period of time well the
Reason is because a pharmaceutical representative came by the pharmacy where i’m at and told the entire staff that it was a great drug now it does have certain advantages it’s not a controlled drug you can try a tricyclic antidepressant you’re not gonna have to worry about becoming addicted because normally that the ankle and urging side effects the drowsiness
Side effects make this drug to be not very addictive now however the drowsiness and the increase in some balance is exactly why the drug is marketed the way it’s marketed this is actually kind of common in the pharmacy world if you have a chemical compound and it causes a side effect sometimes the side effect is desirable and so therefore the drug is unmarketed
For that side effect think of diphenhydramine and antihistamine which causes drowsiness and someone’s and it is in drugs such as tylenol pm or benadryl you know a lot of times people will say oh i can’t fall asleep and i just need something you know to help me for a day or two because i have an exam coming up okay let me pop a couple benadryl and then i’ll
Be fine and then i’ll stop taking the benadryl and then the receptors in my brain will not be encountering the chemical which stimulates them and then after a period period you can then take the drug again and you can then get that intense side effect happening and some of the more common side effects include drowsiness infection hypertension fatigue insomnia
Dizziness and emotional changes so if a person has low immune system functions which is a person who got a transplant a person who has hiv a person who is taking any cancer drugs due to the increase in upper respiratory tract infections we should probably avoid this drug i think as an alternative generic ambient think a benzodiazepine possibly think is opiclone
Those would be good alternatives for a person who has hypertension even though this is only a three percent risk of incidence i would not want to take any drug which is going to increase my blood pressure because that would allow for organ damage to occur similarly if i don’t want to feel it now i knew that the president of the company said the drowsiness was
Not a really big concern however clinical pharmacology states that drowsiness does occur at six or nine percent incident so i would say to myself is my job gonna be impaired if i’m dry next morning because even though benadryl is a well-known well regarded as well safe drug which is over the counter i was talking to a friend who is a pharmacist and he said
That when he soaked benadryl he would be drowsing the next day and benadryl works by blocking histamine receptors now according to both the literature that i got from the pharmaceutical rep and according to clinical pharmacology one of the ways that doc’s pen works is by attacking the histamine receptor now fatigue hopefully i’d be getting the fatigue a short
Time after i’m taking the pill so hopefully i’m trying to get the fatigue when i want the fatigue ideally i’m not going to be getting the insomnia and nausea unfortunately nausea is a relatively common side effect for almost any drug now with regard to the emotional chains if i would have a suicidal ideation i would hope that this would be obvious to my provider
I would hope that whoever writing drugs for me would not be saying oh yeah this person is emotionally unstable let me you know say i’ll just give him the drug because it’s only 1.8 chance well okay that’s like almost a 92.2 chance that i’m not going to have the pro or 98.2 chance that i’m not going to have a problem but if i’m an emotional person and i’m not
Completely stable would you really want to be giving me a drug which could have adverse side effects now the bigger concern for me is more the cost because docsipin generic can be bought at my store for about 23-25 dollars whereas the brand xylenar has to be bought for roughly two hundred and thirty dollars now the company is really generous it gives you a twenty
Five dollar reduction and you can use that twenty five dollars up to three different times in three different prescriptions however knowing that i have the manual dexterity and i have the ability to chop a 10 milligram pill in halves or quarters and then make bring the dosage of the pill down to two and a half or five milligrams i would be more inclined to not
Spend that 170 or 200 difference because knowing that i had spent that much money to get a pill might keep me up at night when the actual intended effect of the pill is to make me fall asleep so if a person does not have the manual dexterity they might seriously consider this drug also knowing that the fda allows for a 20 variability okay if the person had tried
And had failed some of the drugs such as ambien and they were very irritable and they wanted to fall asleep and they had the money to pay for the difference in price okay go ahead spend the money because unfortunately until the fda specifies that all brands and all generics will have a very little variability binders and the various other excipients that keep
The drug in one piece in a generic those extra drugs are far cheaper that’s why if you see a generic it’s far more likely that you’ll be seeing dust where parts of the pills have just broken apart i thank you for your time and i hope you’ve enjoyed this video
