HCAS143 – Human Diseases and Pharmacology

Brand Name of Drug

SOLIRIS

Generic Name

eculizumab

Drug Class

Monoclonal Antibodies

Used for Treatment of

patients with a disease called Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH).

adults and children with a disease called atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS).

SOLIRIS is not for use in treating people with Shiga toxin E. coli related hemolytic uremic

syndrome (STEC-HUS).

adults with a disease called generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who are anti-

acetylcholine receptor (AchR) antibody-positive

adults with a disease called neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who are anti-

aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody positive

Side Effects

headache,

tiredness,

nausea,

vomiting,

diarrhea,

muscle pain,

back pain, or

cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, or sore throat

Key Facts

(Warnings, If you miss a dose,

etc)

You should not use this medicine if you have bacterial meningitis or if you have not been

vaccinated against meningitis.

Eculizumab affects your immune system. You may get infections more easily, even serious

or fatal infections.

You must be vaccinated against meningococcal infection at least 2 weeks before treatment

with eculizumab.

Seek emergency medical attention or call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of

meningitis: headache and fever with nausea or vomiting, skin rash, body aches, flu

symptoms, confusion, sensitivity to light, stiffness in your neck or back.

Do not stop receiving eculizumab without first talking to your doctor. Stopping or

interrupting your treatment could cause sudden and serious effects on your red blood cells.

This medication is used to treat Myasthenia gravis a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks its

own neuromuscular connections. This causes problems with communication between nerves and muscle, resulting in

weakness. Myasthenia gravis affects the voluntary muscles of the body, especially the eyes, mouth, throat, and

limbs.

Myasthenia gravis develops later in life when antibodies in the body attack normal receptors on muscle. This blocks

a chemical needed to stimulate muscle contraction

I choose this medicine because my Uncle has myasthenia gravis and although I am not sure what medication he is

taking this is the first one I found that is used to treat this condition.

GB540_U6_Assignment

Hello please review the attached GB540_U6_Assignment_Rubric.pdf for the assignment. Also please review the notes from the professor for gotcha's.Important information for Unit 6 assignmentPosted Jan 9, 2018 3:51 PMClass, Here are some things you need to think about before you start your Unit 6 project.For your paper in Unit 6: Make sure to use informative supporting graphics where they will add to the paper, such as tables, charts, and diagrams.Don't use "we" or "our" pronouns, as you're not writing as part of the company. Avoid getting distracted with various PR information on the company website that is intended to make the company look good. There is no need for page after page on the company's vision, mission, values, solar panels, recycling bins, or charitable efforts. None of this is vital to the objectives of the presentation.It is critical that you follow the supplied links on macroeconomic indicators (these are on the page where you can click to find the rubric for the assignment). Some students have tried writing their papers without understanding what macroeconomic indicators are, and that's usually disastrous. These are not the same as financial information on the firm, e.g., "return on equity" or "earnings" or "profits." Here is one link to get you started--it contains a list of economic indicators: http://www.census.gov/economic-indicators/Finally, as with your other papers, watch grammar, spelling, and formatting. Make sure you have addressed all the components of the rubric before you turn this in.It is important that you not turn this in late, because my grading deadline is very tight for this last week.T.
