I'm a bit worried about my mom's injection. She just had CABG surgery, and the doctor prescribed Tazact 4.5 gm. We assumed it would be your regular kind of injection, but it turned out to be powder. We also got a saline bottle with sodium chloride injection IP 0.9 WV and a syringe. How do clinics prepare this injection with these items? I want to make sure we're doing it right for my mom.

To prepare the Tazact 4.5 gm injection, you will first need to reconstitute the powder with the provided saline solution. Start by washing your hands thoroughly and then clean the rubber stoppers of both the Tazact powder vial and the saline bottle with an alcohol swab. Next, use a syringe to withdraw the entire contents of the saline bottle and inject it into the Tazact powder vial. Gently swirl the vial to ensure the powder is completely dissolved. Avoid shaking the vial vigorously as it may affect the effectiveness of the medication. Once the powder is fully dissolved, withdraw the reconstituted solution back into the syringe. Your Tazact 4.5 gm injection is now ready for administration. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions carefully regarding dosage and administration schedule.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had angioplasty done on March 1st, but he's still gasping and not feeling well. We're consulting with Dr. Shirish MS Hiremath, but it doesn't seem like there's any improvement. I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice on how to help him feel better?
t's important to address his symptoms of gasping and feeling unwell. In this case, considering his recent angioplasty, it's important to ensure he is not experiencing any complications related to the procedure. One possible cause of his symptoms could be related to heart function or fluid buildup in the lungs. It's important to follow up with his current consultant, Dr. Shirish MS Hiremath, for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, medications like Furosemide (Lasix) can help with fluid retention and shortness of breath. The usual starting dose for Furosemide is 20-80 mg per day, but the actual dose will depend on his specific condition and should be determined by his healthcare provider. Additionally, medications like Ramipril (Altace) can help improve heart function post-angioplasty. The usual starting dose for Ramipril is 2.5-5 mg once a day, but again, the dose may vary based on his individual needs. It's important for your dad to continue following up with his healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of his symptoms.
