    Hello.

    I hope you are well. In many of the studies, it was only given for three days before. I think a week is totally sufficient in these cases. I normally do 3 days.

    I use TXA in most cases of bleeding problems, regardless of cause. It is probably helpful in cases of secondary coagulation problems and even thrombocytopenic patients.

    Hope that helps.

    Hello.

    I hope you are well.

    Reported side effects include diarrhoea, vomiting, increased drinking and urination, drooling, nausea, abdominal pain, increased gastrointestinal sounds, head shaking, and lethargy. Bloodwork side effects include an increase in blood urea nitrogen and an increase in phosphorus levels.

    These are all more short term. From my own experience, I have not seen many of these side effects with short term use.

    There is a study looking at longer-term use, which suggests it is pretty safe too:

    Interesting!

    How often are you using NAC in your liver cases?

    Hello.

    I am so glad you enjoyed. There are a few protocols out there, but I would go with:

    IM regular insulin, not administered until patients have been adequately rehydrated with a stable cardiovascular system, is given at dosages of 0.2 U/kg initially and then 0.1 U/kg IM hourly until the blood glucose drops below 14 mmol/l, when insulin is given SC every 6 to 8 hours at dosages of 0.5 to 1 U/kg. Dextrose should be supplemented in the patient’s fluids as needed based on the patient’s blood glucose level.

    Hope that helps!
