If glucose levels are already high, they increase even more. . This can lead to a hyperglycemia (high blood sugar level). . The blood glucose levels of a diabetic can be measured daily.
Sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil are oral phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, pulmonary arterial hypertension, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and male to female gender identity disorder in transgender people. Triggers of cystoid macular edema (CME) include trauma, infection, inflammation, and vitreous hemorrhage. . Oral nonselective non-nitric oxide inhibitors of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme are used in the treatment of acute, moderate-to-severe pain and long-term management of acute pain. Their use, however, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events. The myocardial infarction and stroke risks increase with age, and the risks also increase with multiple risk factors. . Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, especially stroke. . ACEIs and ARBs can cause hyperkalemia. They are also associated with impaired hepatic and renal function, and gout. . New-onset arrhythmia and sudden death have been reported with the use of aripiprazole, aripiprazole lauroxil, and asenapine. . Dosing and monitoring strategies of antidepressants are discussed in Chapter 16 of the FDA prescribing information for each drug.
Younger adults and older adults (65 and older) are at risk for kidney disease. . After age 65, urinary sodium excretion decreases by 50%. . Older adults need to limit dietary sodium. . In a review of several small clinical studies of alpha-blockers for benign prostatic hyperplasia, 23 of 31 patients (74%) had a reduction in bladder outlet resistance. . However, patients taking alpha-blockers may be at increased risk for cardiovascular complications. Treatment options for testosterone-induced gynecomastia include measuring serum testosterone levels every 3 months and seeking medical advice when levels are elevated. Several methods are available for measuring serum testosterone levels.
