Neuro meds

[Mommy of 2]

Just wanted to know the common medications you deal with on a neuro floor?

I'm on a neuro/tele floor.

We see a lot of statins, ace inhibitors, beta blockers, hydromorphone, oxycodone, nimitop, ativan, insulins, cardizem/heparin drips, mannitol, coumadin, depakote, dilantin, gabapentin, lamictal, aspirin, tylenol (fevers), etc...

On a neuroscience/epilepsy floor:

Pretty similar to kkcrank (sorry for repeats) lots of statins and B/P meds- simvastatin and metroprolol being the most common. Most common pain meds- dilaudid, morphine, fentanyl, oxycodone, oxycontin, flexiril, baclofen, robaxin, toradol, fioricet. AEDs- keppra, dilantin, lacosamide, tegretol, ativan, neurontin. Others off the top of my head- decadron, zofran, vanco, haldol, nimotop, lyrica, synthroid, DDAVP, hydrocortisone, seroquel. Lots of stool softeners and antidepressants as well. Hope that helps!!

Not to mention those totally disgusting giant sandpaper textured sodium tablets for our SIADH patients!
