Paxil Reduces Benefits of Cancer Treating Drugs

A study in the British Medical Journal found that paroxetine, better known as paxil, decreases the benefits of the cancer treating drug tamoxifen. In addition, they found an increased risk of death in breast cancer patients the longer both drugs were taken concurrently.

Tamoxifen is a popular breast cancer treatment that can be taken for up to five years to prevent a recurrence. Conversely, paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant that is typically used to treat major depression, obsessive-compulsive, panic,social anxiety, and generalized anxiety.

Paroxetine has revealed promise for easing the hot flashes that can occur after cancer treatment.

Antibiotics

These drugs are bacteriostatic — that is, they do not kill the germ but inhibit its growth, and the body’s own defence mechanism can then overcome the infection.

They still have some advantages in that they readily cross from the blood into the fluid inside the brain and spinal cord, which many newer antibiotics don’t. They are thus useful in treating bacterial meningitis, an infection of the covering membranes of the brain.

Insoluble forms, which are not absorbed, are used to sterilise the bowel.

Some people become sensitised to the sulphonamides and can develop an allergic rash or other allergic symptoms.

A recently developed antibiotic combines a sul-phonamide with an antibiotic of the tetracycline group, trimethoprim.

These complement each other’s action to a considerable degree and make the drug bacteriocidal in some circumstances — that is, it kills the germ rather than inhibiting its growth.

This antibiotic is marketed in Australia as Septrin and Bactrim.

Some Facts About Painkillers

I’ll just comment on one thing that may surprise you. You will see from the table that just two tablets of either aspirin or paracetamol, both easily available non-prescription painkillers, is about as strong as 20 milligrams of morphine taken by mouth. Surprising but true and very useful. You don’t need to rely on your doctors for supplies of painkillers as long as one of these drugs works for you and suits you. However, it is very important to know that you must not take aspirin if you are having a chemotherapy drug called methotrexate.

Asprin is also not a safe painkiller if you have a stomach ulcer or if you bleed and bruise easily for any reason, but especially if you have a low platelet count. A problem with both aspirin and paracetamol is that it is neither safe nor pleasant to take more than about 4,000 milligrams per day of either one (that is twelve aspirin tablets of 300 milligrams each or eight paracetamol tablets of 500 milligrams each). Higher doses are likely to cause heavy sweating, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, and in the case of aspirin, ringing in the ears. Too much paracetamol can cause serious liver damage and too much aspirin can seriously disturb the balance of acids and minerals in the blood. This means that, on their own, aspirin and paracetamol are only useful as long as less than 4,000 milligrams per day is enough to control your pain. But don’t worry, there is no such limit for the other painkillers listed
