Some questions

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicki,

You didn't mention any red meat. My main sources of protein are beef, lamb,

and some rabbit. I was burnt out on chicken also because my O daughter

still doesn't eat red meat. At least I got her to eat chicken and fish

before she went back to college. I know that meat is expensive, but as my

diet has simplified I am no longer paying for processed junk food of varying

qualities so the bill isn't too high.

some questions

Hi everybody! I dont know about you all but I am

having trouble keeping up with all this e-mail , But I

am learning so much more that I did on the other

lists.

I am having a problem getting all the protein that I

need to get daily. I have a shake in the am with egg

protein cause the hfs only had Nutribiotic rice

protein in choc. and vanilla but still thats only

around 15 or so grams.Do you all and more that what is

recommended? I found that that is what gave me the

diareaa bofore when I thought that it was the flax.Is

this a problem with anybody else?

I cant really stomach tuna unless its mixed with mayo

and lots of pickle relish so thats out.I cant find any

high sources of protein except chicken and I get butnt

out on chic. really fast.

If only there was a protein pill

Wait, I'm unclear about your morning protein shake.

You're downing an egg-protein shake and that's giving

you diarrea? Well, whatever is giving you diarrea you

would do well to stop. Have you looked into live

nut/seed smoothies (here we go again!). I can make a 20g

protein 600 calories mostly from living fat

protein " shake " from live nuts and seeds alone! Then I

usually throw in some live ginger juice, a little live

citrus juice, some warming and sweetening Indian spices

with maybe a touch of flaxseed oil if I haven't make it

with flaxseeds... works fantastic for me! It's almost

like I've hit upon one of the ultimate foods... and now

I have to content myself with the ultimate, day after

day, year after year. Is this the anticlimax I'm

experiencing? At the tender age of 22 having discovered

one of life's ultimate foods?

The blend in my refridgerator right now is almonds,

sesame seeds and flaxseeds (the sesame and flax help

balance each other out EFA-wise). Delicious!

Tuna tuna tuna... I use to abhor any fish. Now I eat

salmon (wild, canned) and tuna (canned). I find the meat

department's fish too expensive. Mayo is in, always. I

like to use paprika, parsley, and cayenne pepper w/

freshly ground black peppercorns to add life to my

canned fishies. Also, live garlice and an onion-type

veggie will help immensely. You've got to experiment

with herbs and spices on your own, for your own palette

to see what is possible. Sage, rosemary, thyme, those

are good european herbs for fish.

Why haven't you mentioned any red meat? Are you insane?

Right now I've got some grass-fed ground beef mixed with

home-ground venison heart... spiced in the style of the

sweet italian spice mix. I put the 1.5 pound mix into a

muffin/cupcake pan and cooked it up. I eat two 2 oz.

muffins right away, put a few in the fridge and save the

rest in the freezer for the next few days emergency

snacks or for the effortless meal (I like to cook so the

convenience factor isn't too big an issue). I've found

meat muffins to be a good way of making quick meals for

limited time meals. Also transports well.

ok I am sure this has been discussed before but what

are live nuts and fats?? Uncooked??

live = fresh, raw, uncooked, organic,

cold-pressed...

I like beef but I cannot bring myself to eating deer

or lamb...i guess its the Disney in me..

oh, my partner is the same way....he just can't do

it...for me I just just have to surrender it all, (believe me, I'd much rather

not have to eat any meat to survive). Alas, I'm an Onegnon...and in this 3D

realm I need it, it feeds me, life feeds on life...feeds on life....life feeds

on life...feeds on life (I have a TOOL song running through my head).

I'm hoping to evolve soon, transforming into a 5th

Dimensional being so that I won't have to eat much at all, like I could just

become a fruitarian and live on fruit and light (oh, and chocolate, don't forget

the chocolate). But until then, I offer rituals to the dead animals I consume,

and sing their praises before, during, and after the kill, let the grease run

down my hands, and run with the wolves....

....please note, this is a small attempt at humor, howmI

doing Axe?

I am not into the twin towers comparison so I just delete and it makes the

list manageable. Sometimes you have to ignore certain things depending on

what else is on your plate!

HI Axel. I would be interested in your meat muffin recipe. Preferably without

organ meat, I just can't get myself to eat any of that at all.

Thanks,

Dear and All,

I went to the other study group early this morning while I was

waiting to get into ,because I could not get into

While there I posted responses to many questions.

asked this same questions over there, as he did here, so I

will transfer my response and his replies here:

" " " Question number 1

From: Subject: A few questions

1. Are only chemotherapy drugs prepared in a

biological safety cabinet?

2. Is an 'exact count' kept only for Schedule II

drugs? (question 91)

3. Does anyone know why federal law requires that

patient package inserts be distributed with

premarin and not prilosec, dilantin or minocin?

4. How can I learn which drugs need to be stored

at room temp and which need refrigeration?

Thanks " " "

Question/Reply #2

From: Jeanetta Subject: RE: A few questions

" " " Dear and All,

Here are my opinions and answers to your questions:

1. Are only chemotherapy drugs prepared in a

biological safety cabinet? There must be vertical flow to the Flow

hood that is used for making Chemo IV's. A biological safety cabinet

is made specificaly to 'contain' and limit chemo drug exposure for

the technician or pharmacist making the drug. These are considered

more 'portable' and some can be placed inside of a verticle flow hood

to maximize safety even further. I would not make any other non-chemo

drug in a hood or safety cabinet that is desigated for chemos IF I

had another choice or location to do so. This would cut down on cross

contamination. However if there was absolutely no other choice, I

would clean/sterilize the chemo hood orthe biological safety cabinet

before manufacturing the non-chemo in it.

2. Is an 'exact count' kept only for Schedule II

drugs? (question 91)

By law yes. A class III , IV and V may inventort may also be kept

this way but it is not required by law. So if it is kept this way

then it is by a policy, not by law.

3. Does anyone know why federal law requires that

patient package inserts be distributed with

premarin and not prilosec, dilantin or minocin?

Premarin is the Equestrian Chorionic Gonadotropin (from the Horse or

pregnant mare's urine =

Pre mar in ). This contains high levels of estrogen. Exogenous

Estrogen is a known carcinogen )cancer causing). Any estrogen

containing product including Birth control Pills MUST by law be

dispensed with the package insert.

proton pump inhibitors, antiseizure, antiepileptic, and antibiotic

medications do not carry such a risk.

Hope that this helps you out.

4. How can I learn which drugs need to be stored

at room temp and which need refrigeration?

This is by experience and memorization mostly. However if you are

trying to convert the Temperature in Celsius to Farenheight or vice

versa feel free to go to Jeanetta's PTCB Study Group! There is a

tutorial there on this also.

Respectfully,

Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BS Chemistry

Pharmacy Technician Educator " " "

Question/Reply #3

From: Subject: RE: A few questions

" " " Thanks, Jeannetta. That helps a lot.

I wonder how many people (women) know that the reason the package

insert comes with the drug is because it is a carcinogen. Not

something most people (women) think about!

Thanks again. " " " "

Oh-on the last one. Are there any generalizations? Like all

antibiotics should be refrigerated? or all chemo should be

refrigerated?

Date Posted: 7/21/02 7:09:16 AM

Question/Reply #4

From Jeanetta Re:A few questions

" " " Dear

All women and for that matter all patients MUST be counseled on new

prescriptions. The problem is thast man women/pts forget what they

were once told if on a maintenance drug for months or years!

So technically all women should know. Do they recall is the question!

Secondly there are no generalizations. Most antibiotics are not

refrigerated, until they are made into an oral suspension or

intravenous infusion. Flagyl premade RTU, is not refrigerated. Chemo

varies once made.

Hope that this helps.

Sammy, here are some more answers and explanations:

30. MAC pricing would be applicable to which type product?

> B: multi-source generic drugs

MAC Pricing refers to Maximum Allowable Cost (see question 87).

This is in reference to Medicare billing, on which there is a limit

to the amout that can be billed, regardless of the pharmacy's

wholesale cost. Therefore it is most cost-effective for the pharmacy

to choose a generic drug provider with the lowest cost.

87. MAC refers to the:

> B: maximum allowable cost

102. If a patient is hypertensive, which of the following drugs are

contraindicated?

> B: nasal decongestants

My students will tell you that I HATE the Sudafed commerical where

all the patients come to the pharmacy window and are automatically

referred to the Sudafed aisle without any counseling. This is

because nasal decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)

increase blood pressure. If a patient is hypertensive, this means

they have high blood pressure, and nasal decongestants, such as

Sudafed, are contraindicated.

92. How many ounces are contained in one pint?

> C: 16

If there are 30 milliliters in a fluid ounce (pharmacy standard) and

480 milliliters in a pint, then there are 16 fluid ounces in a pint.

There are MANY different ways of coming up with this answer, just

pick the best way for you to remember. Jeanetta has some awesome math

links for help on conversions that most of my students love.

PS anybody else reading this, please let me know if I've answered

these questions incorrectly, and feel free to expand. I've found

that relating things to everyday knowledge and products helps my

students remember points.

The one that solidifies is truly a virgin coconut oil. The other must not be a

vcno. That is one way of telling vcno, it solidifies when temperature is around

76 deg, F.

some questions

i have 2 bottles of virgin coconut oil, each from a diffenrent

supplier. the containers are identical. i am wondering why one of

them solidifies and the other does not ( my room temperature is

around 24 deg celcius).

Excellent answers Joe!! Good comments too. Now that is what I mean by

teaching/tutoring. This site does not provide just the answers, but we comment

on the why's so that the student/member can build on the knowledge.

Much appreciation in your contributions.

Dear ,

Thank you for posting your answers to the questions. They are correct. Please

feel free to give the questions a try and post your answers anytime. What I am

about to post is by no means to hurt your feelings, but to support the dynamics

of this site.

Dear All,

It is the (MY) requirement of this site that TEXPERTS review all of the

questions and answers posted on this site to determine if the question is valid,

ambiguous or not and if the answer is correct. Acknowledging that the answers

that are posted by a non-Texpert are incorrect or correct is extremely important

to assure that the students/members reading or viewing the material can rely

upon the site and its moderator (Dora) owner Jeanetta and TEXPERTS (9 or 10 in

total) as well as the information. It is a self-governing, self-correcting

site. Every one makes errors (including me!) and it is important to have a

second or third pair of eyes. What we do as techs in practice must also be done

here in education. All TEXPERTS volunteer their time. They take a look at the

site in their own real time. Answers usually appear wsithing 12 hours and up to

72 hours later. Usually within 24 hrs. Please be patient for a TEXPERT to get to

the site post their yeah or nay so that everyone can accept

or not accept a question and answer. By the way we check each others work also!

A big thank you to all who are actively contributing to questions or answers on

this site.You have NO idea how much you are helping not only yourself but others

who are too shy to post or have the exact same question that you do.

Respectfully,

Dear All,

So what is Relenza (zanamivir) anyway??? What is being blocked??? An enzyme!

According to Rxlist.com

" Mechanism of Action: The proposed mechanism of action of zanamivir is via

inhibition (blocking) of influenza virus neuraminidase with the possibility of

alteration of virus particle aggregation and release. "

'It is also important to note that a mutation in the enzyme " reduces the

enzyme’s activity to zanamivir by 1,000-fold " . However there is " insufficient

information is available to characterize the risk of emergence of zanamivir

resisance in clinical use. " (only slightly changed by Jeanetta from the rxlist

source).

1. Which of the following drugs is an inhaled neuramised inhibitorfor

influenza A and B?

a. Vioxx

b. Xenical

Answer is c. Relenza

d. Tamiflu

Hello Jeanetta,

I'm confused... It's ok to post answers even though I'm not

a " Texpert " ? Would it be better if I posted the answers with the

source I found them in?

I'm in a local College class for Pharmacy Technician and plan on

taking the Cert. test in March.

I understand you wanting to maintain the integirty of the site and

thats one of the reasons I'm here. This is a great source of

information.

Thank you and Have a Great Day!

Dear and All,

What I am concerned about is,as in the past, when someone is trying to answer

posted questions as a 'practice' that another student/memer will 'accept' the

answer as 'fact' and absolute, when in fact it has not been checked by myself or

another TEXPERT who is a seasoned tech or another educator like myself.

So if student/member attempts to answer the questions in a post it is best to

let everyone know " this is what I got is it right? " , as opposed to " here are

the answers for you. " . The latter leads others to think that because they gave

it a shot it must be correct. Even Texperts make errors...especially those up

late at night with long fingernails! (me!)

I am suggesting that everyone hold out for the jury - the Texperts to

acknowledge the correctness of an answer rather than accept it right away.
