পায়ে কামড়ায়– ঝিমঝিম করে–

রেহানার প্রেশার দেখলেন, প্রেশার 100/60 mmHg.

রেহানাকে জিজ্ঞাস করলেন, কোমরে ব্যাথা আছে কিনা? বললো, না স্যার, কোমরে ব্যাথা নাই-

মেকানিকাল পেইনের সব প্রশ্ন করলেন, না এইটা মেকানিকাল পেইন মনে হচ্ছেনা—-

কিভাবে চিকিৎসা করবেন-?

কোন একটা পেশেন্ট যদি এমন complain নিয়ে আসে যে, তার পায়ের রগে টান খায়, তাহলে প্রথমত তার heal walking, toe walking করে নিবেন,sciatica exclude করে নিবেন, sciatica থাকলে আরো কিছু সমস্যা থাকবে- LBP থাকবে,

তারপর তার lower limb এর পালস দেখবেন,popliteal, posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis. এই পালস ক্লিয়ার থাকলে Peripheral vascular diseases exclude করবেন-

তারপর পেশেন্ট এর কিছু investigation দিবেন-

পেশেন্ট এর এই কন্ডিশন কে leg Cramps বলে-

এইটা Most common cause হচ্ছে dehydration, পেশেন্ট কোনো diuretics নেয় কিনা, তার হিস্ট্রি নিবেন,

প্রতিদিন কত গ্লাস পানি পান করে, তার হিস্ট্রি নিবেন–

diuretics নিলে সেটা বন্ধ করবেন,কিংবা proper water intake করতে বলবেন-

অত:পর পেশেন্ট Anaemic কিনা দেখুন,

পেশেন্ট এর bowel habit এর খবর নিন,

কোনো malabsorption আছে কিনা দেখুন, Malabsorption থাকলে পেশেন্ট এর Nutritional deficiency থাকবে,

তাই Malabsorption থাকলে তার চিকিৎসা করুন–

এনিমিয়া থাকলে তা কারেক্ট করুন-

patient এর malabsorption নাই,

water intake normal, তাহলে কি করবেন,

পেশেন্ট এর একটা CBC, Serum electrolyte, serum calcium করেন-

পটাশিয়াম কমে গেলে কিংবা ক্যালসিয়াম কমে গেলে leg cramps হতে পারে-

তাই পেশেন্ট কে পটাশিয়াম সমৃদ্ধ খাবার দিন, পটাশিয়াম যদি normal range এর lower limit এ থাকে, তাহলেও leg cramps হবে—

ভিটামিন ডি ডেফিসিয়েন্সি থাকলেও leg crams হবে-

এখন ধরুন, পেশেন্ট এর CBC and serum electrolyte নরমাল, পেশেন্ট আর কোনো ইনভেসটিগেশন করতে চাচ্ছেনা–

কিংবা পেশেন্ট প্রথম থেকেই কোনো ইনভেস্টগেশন করবেনা, চিকিৎসা চাচ্ছে,

তাহলে তার ক্ষেত্রে যে চিকিৎসা দিবেন-

Treatment Management :-

1…water intake কম হলে তারে water মিশিয়ে খাইতে হয়, এমন একটা ঔষধ দিয়ে দিন, যেমন alkuli syrup etc.

বলবেন, দৈনিক এক চামচ এক গ্লাস পানিতে মিশিয়ে ৪ বার, (২ মাস) [[ প্রতিদিন ৮-১০ গ্লাস পানি পান করার জন্য কাউন্সেলিং করবেন]]]

সপ্তাহে একটা করে ৩ মাস

Indications of Capsule:- Defrol (40000 IU) (AS A Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).AS A Vitamin in bone formation, Vitamin-D preparations).

 

  • Vitamin D3 deficiency can occur in people whose exposure to sunlight is limited and in those whose diet is deficient in vitamin D3.
  • Vitamin D3 is essential for the effective calcium and phosphate absorption required for healthy bones and teeth, preventing rickets, osteomalacia and osteoporosis.
  • Vitamin D3 is also essential to prevent pre-eclampsia during pregnancy and breast feeding as it is an essential nutrient for a growing infant.
  • Vitamin D3 has vital role on immunity boost up.

Pharmacology of Capsule:- Defrol (40000 IU) (AS A Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).AS A Vitamin in bone formation, Vitamin-D preparations).

 

The active form of Vitamin D3, Calcitriol, exerts its effect by binding to the Vitamin D receptors (VDRs) which are widely distributed through many body tissues.Vitamin D3 has a half life of about 50 days as it is fat soluble.Vitamin D3 is absorbed in the small intestine and bound to specific a-globulins and transported to the liver where it is metabolised to 25-hydroxy Vitamin D3 (Calcidiol). A second hydroxylation to 1,25-dihydroxy Vitamin D3 (Calcitriol) occurs in the kidney. This metabolite is responsible for the vitamin’s ability to increase the absorption of calcium. Non-metabolised Vitamin D3 is stored in tissues such as fat and muscle.Vitamin D3 is eliminated via faeces and urine.

Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant in the body. Vitamin E protects polyunsaturated fatty acids (which are components of cellular membrane) and other oxygen-sensitive substances such as vitamin A & vitamin C from oxidation. In premature neonates irritability, edema, thrombosis and hemolytic anemia may be caused due to vitamin E deficiency. Creatinuria, ceroid deposition, muscle weakness, decreased erythrocyte survival or increased in vitro hemolysis by oxidizing agents have been identified in adults and children with low serum tocopherol concentrations.

Dosage & Administration of Capsule :-E- Cap 200 (AS A Vitamin E Herbal and Nutraceuticals, Vitamin-E Preparations).

 

Age-related Macular Degeneration: Vitamin E 400-600 IU daily.

Heart Disease (to improve effectiveness of Nitrates): Vitamin E 200 IU three times daily.

Diarrhoea & abdominal pain may occur with doses greater than 1000 IU daily.

Pregnancy & Lactation of Capsule :-E- Cap 200 (AS A Vitamin E Herbal and Nutraceuticals, Vitamin-E Preparations).

 

There is no evidence of the safety of high doses of vitamin E in pregnancy, therefore should not use in pregnancy especially in the first trimester. No information is available on excretion in breast milk, therefore it is advisable not to use during lactation.

Precautions & Warnings of Capsule :-E- Cap 200 (AS A Vitamin E Herbal and Nutraceuticals, Vitamin-E Preparations).

 

E-Cap has been reported to increase bleeding tendency in vitamin K deficient patients or those taking anticoagulant treatments, it is therefore recommended to monitor the prothrombin time and international normalised ratio (INR) to detect any changes in haemostasis. E-Cap has been reported to increase the risk of thrombosis in patients predisposed to this condition, including patients taking oestrogens. This finding has not been confirmed but should be borne in mind when selecting patients for treatment, in particular women taking oral contraceptives containing oestrogens.

Overdose Effects of Capsule :-E- Cap 200 (AS A Vitamin E Herbal and Nutraceuticals, Vitamin-E Preparations).

 

Transient gastrointestinal disturbances have been reported with doses greater than 1000 IU daily and where necessary, general supportive measure should be employed.
