Compounding pharmacies are the best. I love when pts come in and hand you a sheet saying they have some topical cream for their dermatitis that contains gabapentin, topiramate, ibuprofen and a beta blocker (actual example from yesterday). Whatever derms prescribe these should be ashamed.

I'm going to make my millions with topical compounded colace and I'll also put in some haldol and cipro just for good measure cause why not

Apply to butt twice a day

OK I'm done

for those of us (me) who don't carry around medical dictionaries, what is each of those and why is it laughable to have a topical cream containing them?
i mean i know what ibuprofen is and it seems dumb to put what is usually an ingested painkillers on a sore patch of skin but i'm no doctor here have a picture

epipen posted:

none of them bar ibuprofen are any use as a topical ointment
gabapentin is a medication used for epilepsy, neuropathic pain and restless leg syndrome (and off label for bipolar iirc?)
topiramate is for epilepsy
beta blockers block the action of adrenaline on certain receptors, and are used to lower bloodpressure, treat cardiac arrythmia, anxiety and tremors
all three have to pass the blood-brain barrier to have any affect, iirc
echi's example was a medication that decreases the production of stomach acid, helps with acid reflux and ulcers and stuff


Moist von Lipwig posted:

gabapentin is a weird GABA drug, think a gentler xanax/ativan/ghb, anti-seizure drug
ibuprofen is advil
beta blockers like propofol are anti-anxiety and anti-seizure drugs
topiramate is kind of weird, not super familiar with it but it's another anticonvulsant (anti-epilepsy drug)

i have no idea why you'd administer any of these in an ointment, nevermind for dermatitis?!

i went to south africa recently and as americans everyone was nice to us as far as i could tell, but you can really tell that apartheid ended basically yesterday

infrastructure is super good compared to tanzania, the only other place i have been in africa. there are nice highways all across the country and many well developed cities and if you just stay in the cities and just look at the architecture, it feels like you could be in western europe. in tanzania (which, granted, has a much smaller population) only Dar es Salaam and Arusha would be recognizable as cities to an american, and the roads quickly turn to dirt once you leave town.

huge racial divides economically.

- there are both black and white people driving cars, but the only people walking by the side of the road or using the private busses are black people.

- you can't walk a block without someone asking for money, asking you to go into a store to buy formula for their child, etc - especially after dark. none of our leftovers from dinner made it back to the hotel because i would instantly find someone who wanted them

- a large number of the white people are huge racists and will make no attempt to hide this in a way that will absolutely blow your mind. we were driving back from the beach, our car was behind a truck with a bunch of white people in the bed who were entertaining themselves by throwing firecrackers at the black people walking on the side of the road. when i got back to the lodge where we were staying (this was a rural area) i noticed a sign at the dining hall saying "anyone throwing firecrackers will be removed from the lodge". that's right, throwing lit fireworks at black people on the side of the road is such a common thing that they have to have a policy and make a sign for it.

dude where the gently caress was this? I've lived in sa for all but one of my 34 years and I've seen some hosed up poo poo but I've never seen fireworks being thrown at peop-- oh wait my cousin threw a Tom Thumb at me once as a joke – but still, seriously holy crap that is not the norm.

or maybe my city living has shielded me from the ways of the bumpkins

hello.jpg my old friend
you've come to shock us once again
it is an vision of something gaping
we all fixate on the ring
it's a vision that was shared on IRC
"lol it's goatse"
and straight after, stunned silence

i closed the tab, the damage done
I'd stared inside an old man's bum
close my eyes I can't erase it
I really wish it was the lotus pod tit
my eyes were stabbed by the flash of your red colon
and flaccid dong
a nauseous gasp; stunned silence

you stand there naked rear end cheeks aspread
eight fingers – one was wed
people stare without speaking
they'd rather see tubgirl streaking
we would rather see any other link be shared
than your rear end bared
i clicked goatse. stunned silence.

fools today
they do not know, a stretched rear end is such a show
these modern memes they will not teach you
the originals were all home brew
image macros, god drat this internet hell
i sit and cry
in mom's basement

somewhere online a day's been made
when that red anus was displayed
someone clicked a link without warning
now they sit crying and mourning
it should have said
"not safe for work in a million years"
but no one hears
your stunned silence
