    Medications

    Our medically complicated patients are often on medication that could effect their attention, muscle tone, and other systems. I am vaguely familiar with medication names to control ADHD (Adderal) however, all others are a mystery to me.
     
    Here is a short list of medications I hear around me quite often:

    Albuterol -used to treat wheezing, and difficulty breathing and chest tightness. The med is a bronchodilator which means the drug opens up air passages to the lungs. (cite)
    Types of patients: COPD,  respiratory diseases

    Baclofen - used to treat muscle tightness and cramping.
    Types of patients; Multiple Sclerosis. (cite)
