DO YOU HAVE AN EPILELEX LIGHTING ADDICTION?

Many epilepsy patients can be controlled by appropriate epilepsy treatment. The most important situation in this period is the family of the epileptic patient and the pediatric neurology doctor. The most common concerns about drug use in families of epileptic patients are; whether the epilepsy drug is addictive or not, or whether it will have side effects on organs such as the liver and kidney.

Epilepsy drugs are not addictive. Epilepsy medications are used to raise the seizure threshold, making it difficult to have a seizure. There are only a few epilepsy drugs that are sold with green prescription, especially for drugs used in the treatment of epilepsy.

WHAT SHOULD BE CAREFUL IN EPILEPSY TREATMENT?

All the foods and medicines we take in our body are sometimes taken from the kidneys and sometimes from the kidneys, according to the substance of the substance being taken. All other medicines we use can have side effects in a similar way. The side effects of medicines with regular treatment and doctor's check will be appreciated at every doctor visit.

The most important step in the treatment of epilepsy is to use the medication regularly and do not skip the dose. If the dose is missed during treatment, the patient may have very severe and resistant seizures. For this reason, the forgotten dose should be given at the first time when the medication is forgotten. Without any doctor's approval, epilepsy medications will not be abruptly interrupted. In cases where the release of epilepsy medications is planned, the reduction of the epilepsy medication is progressive. Sudden withdrawal of epilepsy medications can result in epileptic attacks that are very long-lasting and resistant to what we call status epilepticus.

How to understand AIDS, how to understand HIV
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the cause of a disease that is known and treated as AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). How is this disease spread? How do you know if you're blocking the virus? Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology. Dr. We asked Yusuf Önlen. Here is the expert opinion on AIDS and HIV transmission routes and symptoms:

Hürriyet Family - Health - Expert Opinion

HIV, the so-called 'Human Immunodeficiency Virus', which causes HIV infection. As it enters the body, it attaches to the immune system cell, CD4, replicates itself using the cell's DNA, and breaks down the cell, mixing with many more. Over time, the cells that make up the immune system disappear and the resistance to the diseases of the body goes away.

HIV AND AIDS MAKE SAME THE SAME?

Although all HIV-related diseases in general use are commonly referred to as AIDS, in fact all HIV-infected periods after infection are HIV infection, and the last step is AIDS. Expressions of AIDS disease, 'AIDS patient' or 'AIDS individual' are frequently used basic misrepresentations. AIDS is referred to as 'Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome' and is the latest advanced stage of HIV infection. Individuals who have been diagnosed with the development of diseases and the immune system is unable to fulfill their responsibilities over the years after HIV infection are individuals who are diagnosed with HIV infection in the AIDS condition. Not everyone who is infected with HIV is in AIDS, and treated individuals do not return to AIDS for the rest of their lives.






A DEATH A MIDDLE OF THE DISEASE?

HIV infection is a chronic disease with treatment. With the treatments started to be implemented in the 1990s, it has been removed from the list of deadly diseases by the World Health Organization and has become one of life-long diseases that can be controlled like blood pressure and diabetes. People living with HIV today can live their normal life span without an HIV-related health problem if they receive treatment and control the infection.

WHAT WILL HIV CONTRIBUTIONS?

HIV causes acute infection in the first proliferative phase within 1-6 weeks of ingestion. Symptoms and clinical manifestations at this time are not unique to HIV infection and change. In a patient whose immune system is weakened by the HIV virus, many illnesses that are normally harmless, mild or rare, occur. They also grow in the lymph glands, recurrent herpes in the mouth and lower extremities, wounds and red stains on the body, long-term fever of unknown origin, night sweats, weight loss, diarrhea, cough. In the mouth opportunistic infections such as thrush, other bacteria, fungi and protozoan diseases arise. Some of the diseases that occur are spontaneous in 2-4 weeks. It is important to have an HIV test in order to make an early diagnosis after a suspicious contact.

How does HIV know?

The transmission of HIV occurs in three basic ways: sexually, through blood, and from mother to baby.

1) Unsafe sexual intercourse comes first with the person who carries the HIV virus at the infection rate. The greater the number of unprotected sexual contacts, the greater the likelihood of transmission.

2) Transmission of blood and blood products, which are secondary viruses, can be transmitted by transplantation or tissue and organ transplantation. However, in 1985 it was a legal obligation to test HIV and blood products before they were given to the patient. As a result, blood transfusions were greatly reduced in the following years. Since the use of common needle / injector by intravenous drug users also causes blood exchange, it is possible to infect the virus.

3) Thirdly, HIV can pass to pregnant women during pregnancy, during labor, and to breastfeed. This possibility is 20 - 30% if the necessary measures are not taken. However, if a HIV-infected mother continues to receive treatment during pregnancy, this rate falls below 0.5%. Bebeğin should receive preventive treatment for a certain period after birth and be under physician control. Because HIV can be transmitted to the baby by breastfeeding, the mother should not suck her baby.

HIV IS SURGICAL IN SOCIAL AREAS?

When HIV contacts the air and the sun in the outdoors, it quickly loses its infectivity. Blood or body fluids containing HIV do not cause contamination. HIV; shaking, kissing, kissing with mosquitoes and insect bites by using the same toilet, shower, using the same plate, fork, knife, towel, with the particles coming out from the body fluids like sweat, saliva, urine, tear, sneeze or cough social behavior such as being found.

HAVE TREATMENT?

HIV is a chronic infection that can be controlled but the virus can not be completely removed from the body. Thanks to the developments in the pharmacological environment, 20-25 tablets per day have been switched to single tablet regimens today. HIV treatment using the right combination is completely successful. Antiretroviral medicines (stopping, slowing, inhibiting) used in therapy prevent HIV from harming the immune system by stopping itself in the human body and enable individuals to continue their healthy life.

Should the medication be in continuous use?

Six months after starting medication, HIV virus falls to undetectable levels. However, since it is not possible to remove the virus completely from the body, regular and continuous drug use should be continued. If the treatment discipline deteriorates and viral infections reach re-detectable levels, the virus will undergo a mutation and develop resistance to the drugs used, that is, even if medicines are used, success will not be achieved. At such a stage, more complex combinations of treatments may require the use of more tablets, and the potential side effects of the drugs used are overcome.





    DRUG TREATMENT A STRUGGLE PROCESS?

The key to directly affecting the success of medications and treatment is their commitment to the treatment of individuals living with HIV. Drug use hours are determined by the individual living with HIV, but it is vital that drugs are taken at the same time every day. To illustrate the single tablet regimens, the active ingredients in these drugs remain optimal for 24 hours. Try to keep constant the rates of the active substances which are able to resuscitate the drug every 24 hours
