Ibuprofen is available as both oral (e.g. Nurofen tablets) and topical dosage forms (e.g. Nurofen gel). Outline which dosage form is likely to be suitable for the management of a simple headache and provide justification for your answer. Your answer should describe the absorption pathways for ibuprofen following oral ingestion and topical application

Synthetic opioids are frequently being used for analgesia, i.e. as pain killers. While morphine or other full agonists such as fentanyl are the strongest pain killers available, partial agonists such as nalorphine or pentazocine are being used in applications requiring something intermediate in strength between morphine and basic painkillers such as aspirin. Considering a situation where both morphine and pentazocine are co-administered, select the TRUE statement(s): A. With increasing concentrations of pentazocine, the percent maximal response for morphine can be reduced to the level of pentazocine. B. The dose-response curve for morphine will shift to the right and its shape will not change (parallel rightward shift). C. The dose-response curve for morphine will shift to the left and its shape will not change (parallel leftward shift). D. The maximal efficacy of morphine alone can be exceeded. E. None of the answers here is correct. Please answer asap and type your answer and…
Azithromycin can be administered either orally as a slow release of active ingredients (known as extended release) or intravenously (IV) into the bloodstream (known as immediate release). Calculate the appropriate dosage of both extended and immediate release azithromycin for a 17.0 lb patient. Orally administered extended-release azithromycin dosage for a child is 60 mg per kg of body weight. Calculate the dosage in mg of azithromycin for a 17.0 lb child. IV administered immediate-release azithromycin dosage for a child is 10 mg per kg of body weight. Calculate the dosage in mg of azithromycin for a 17.0 lb child.
