Description

Acute complications, exacerbations or recurrences of sarcoidosis may require urgent therapy by emergency medicine doctors. The lungs are most frequently affected by sarcoidosis, a chronic non caseating granulomatous illness of unclear cause; nonetheless, granulomatous infiltration of the heart, eyes, and nervous system may result in severe morbidity and mortality. Despite the fact that a patient's history may raise a suspicion of sarcoidosis, histology and chest radiography are typically used to confirm the diagnosis.

In patients without an underlying immune system disorder, druginduced lupus erythematosus (DILE) clears up within days to months of stopping the offending medication. DILE may appear months to years after using medications that were recommended to address other medical issues (eg, antihypertensives, antibiotics, anticonvulsants). Hydralazine, procainamide, quinidine, isoniazid, diltiazem, targeted immunotherapy, and minocycline are the medicines that induce DILE the most frequently. Druginduced Sub-acute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematous (DISCLE) is a subtype of DILE that mostly affects the skin, is time-related to medication exposure, and resolves after the drug is stopped. It has been observed in conjunction with leflunomide, terbinafine, and hydrochlorothiazide.

Any molecule that, when consumed, alters the physiology or psychology of an organism qualifies as a drug. Usually, foods and other substances that help nutrition are segregated from drugs. Drugs can be ingested, inhaled, injected, smoked, absorbed via the skin using a patch, suppository, or dissolved under the tongue.

In pharmacology, a drug is a chemical compound, usually one with a well-known structure, that, when given to a living thing, has a biological impact. A pharmaceutical drug is a chemical compound that is used to treat, cure, prevent, or diagnose an illness, as well as to improve wellbeing. It is also known as a medication or medicine. In the past, medications were extracted from medicinal plants, but more recently, they were also create dorganically. Pharmaceutical medications for chronic illnesses may be taken occasionally or for a brief period of time.

Pharmaceutical medications are frequently grouped into drug classes, which are composed of drugs that are used to treat the same condition and have comparable chemical structures, the same mechanism of action (binding to the same biological target). The most popular drug classification system, the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC), gives each medicine a special ATC code, an alphanumeric identifier that places the drug in one of the systems designated drug classes. The bio pharmaceutics Classification System is another important classification scheme.

According to their solubility and permeability, or absorption, qualities, this categorizes medications.

Chemicals known as psychoactive drugs modify perception, mood, or awareness by interfering with the central nervous system's normal operation. Drugs like stimulants, depressants, antidepressants, anxiolytics, antipsychotics, and hallucinogens are separated into separate categories. Around the world, these psychoactive medications are effective in treating a variety of medical ailments, including mental disorders. The most commonly used drugs worldwide are coffee, nicotine, and alcohol, which are sometimes referred to as recreational drugs because they are consumed more for enjoyment than for medical reasons. All medications have the risk of negative effects. Numerous psychoactive drug abusers risk developing physical dependence or addiction. Stimulant psychosis can be facilitated by excessive stimulant use. Numerous recreational drugs areillegal, and there are international conventions like the single convention on narcotic drugs that aim to outlaw them.
