11. Disease State:
CVA: It is characterized by sudden loss of blood circulation to an area
of brain, resulting in a corresponding loss of neurologic function.
Life Style Modifications:
Quit Smoking
Take medication regularly.
Do not discontinue medication abruptly.
Reduce salt intake
Do not take stress
Maintain Hygienic conditions
Mild aerobic exercise
Regular monitoring of BP and frequent check ups.
13. There are no serious/ harmful interactions
in the plan.
Minor interaction is seen with Ranitidine-
Phenytoin.
Ranitidine increases the levels of phenytoin
by decreasing its metabolism.
14. Why statins are given at night?
They act by inhibiting the enzyme HMG CoA
reductase, which controls synthesis of
cholesterol in the liver.
Cholesterol synthesis appears to occur mostly
at night, so statins are usually taken at night
to maximize their effect
