Fluoxetine and Paresthesias
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concern has been raised on the recent High Court of Bombay ruling which stated that ECT without anesthesia was inhuman (Channabasavanna et al., 2000). Based on this the same authors have suggested the use of only modified ECT in clinical practice as patients may claim compensation for increasing the risk of complications while using unmodified ECT. However, the article by Andrade et al. (2000) provides new insights into the fact that unmodified ECT may have lesser complications than previously thought Hence, it is desirable that IPS frame guidelines, which consider both modified and unmodified ECT so that the psychiatrists practicing either modality of ECT in our country can be appropriately guided in legal issues.

متن کاملDuloxetine-related galactorrhea and restless legs syndrome: a case report.
High prolactin hormone level in the blood is known as hyperprolactinemia. The most common symptom of hyperprolactinemia is galactorrhea, in which spontaneous milky discharge is seen from all ducts of the two mammary glands. Dopamine has an inhibitor effect on prolactin, in the tuberoinfundibular tract and inhibition of dopamine increases the serum prolactin level (Feuchtl et al. 2004). Monoamin...

Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that exerts its anti-depressive effect by blocking the presynaptic reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). Although fluoxetine is usually considered safe for most patients, in the present case report, we describe a young patient with mixed anxiety and depression disorder (MADD) treated with fluoxetine 10 mg/day, who develo...
متن کاملResolving Spectra Overlapping Based on Net Analyte Signal for Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Fluoxetine and Sertraline
The net analyte signal standard addition method was used for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of sertraline and fluoxetine in pharmaceutical preparations. The method combines the advantages of the standard addition method with the net analyte signal concept to enable the extraction of information about an analyte from the spectra of multi-component mixtures. This method uses full s...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Networks (ANN) for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of fluoxetine and sertraline in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluid
Simultaneous spectrophotometric estimation of Fluoxetine and Sertraline in tablets were performed using UV–Vis spectroscopic and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Absorption spectra of two components were recorded in 200–300 (nm) wavelengths region with an interval of 1 nm. The calibration models were thoroughly evaluated at several concentration levels using the spectra of synthetic binary mix...
