PowerPoint Presentation: Famotidine Outline
Title Slide Slides 1
Title: Famotidine: Exensive Review for Clinical Application
Name, qualifications, course title, date.
Second Slide: Introduction
Synopsis of Famotidine:
Used in acid-related gastrointestinal disorders, famotidine is an H2 receptor antagonist.
Generally recommended for disorders including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, GERD, and peptic ulcer disease.
Presentation’s goal is to
Third slide: drug pharmacology and pharmacokinetics
Medicine: Pharmacology
Method of Action: Mechanism Reducing gastric acid production, blocks histamine H2 receptors on gastric parietal cells.
Slows down stimulated, nocturnal, and baseline acid output.
Pharmacyokinetics:
Rapid, peak plasma concentration in one to three hours.
Distribution: Minimal binding of proteins.
Metabolic rate: minimal hepatic metabolism.
Mostly renal, excretion occurs in urine unchange.
Prolonged in renal impairment, half-life is 2.5–3.5 hours.
Page 4: Generic and brand names
Generic Name: Famotidine
Pepcid, Pepcid AC (available OTC and prescription) is brand name.
Slides 5: Dosing: Standard Dosing
GERD: 20 mg twice a day or 40 mg right before bed.
Peptic ulcer disease: 40 mg once at bedtime.
Ten to twenty mg as needed, up to twice day, OTC.
Renal Damage:
Change dosage depending on creatinine clearance (CrCl) <50 mL/min: Cut by half or increase interval of dosage.
Slide 6: Usage Indices
FDA- approved indications:
GERD, or gastric oesophageal reflux disease.
P ulcer disease (PUD).
syndrome related to Zollinger-Ellison.
Heartburn; acid indigestion (OTC).
Off-label applications:
Prevention of stress ulcers in individuals under serious illness.
Slides 7: Side Effects
Typical Adverse Effects:
Dizziness, headache, constipation, diarrhoea.
Seldom occurring yet rather significant side effects:
QT prolongation (for high doses in renal impairment).
Reactions known as anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity.
either thrombocytopenia or agranulocytosis.
Page 8: Pregnancy Class and Contraindications
Opponents:
Extreme sensitivity to either Famotidine or another H2 blocker.
Be careful with patients having renal problems.
Pregnancy Class:
Previously labelled as Category B (animal studies reveal no damage; few human research). Use if absolutely indicated.
Slide 9: Study of Costs
Cost Comparision:
OTC Famotidine: $10–$15 for thirty 10 mg tablets.
Depending on insurance, prescription famotidine runs from $20 to $50 for 30 tablets (20–40 mg).
Generic Availability: When compared to other treatments including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), famotidine is reasonably priced.
Tenth slide: patient case study
Situation: 45-year-old female with GERD history and nightly complaints.
tried changing my lifestyle and using antacids without relief.
Started twice daily on Famotidine 20 mg to treat symptoms.
Reviewed Peers Research on how well famotidine controls GERD symptoms.
Studies on the safety profile of famotidine used in long-term treatment.
Take Famotidine 15–30 minutes before meals or bedtime for best effectiveness. Slide 11: Patient Education Key Teaching Points
Steer clear of triggers include heavy meals, alcohol, and spicy foods.
Tell about possible side effects and when one should see a doctor.
Relief of symptoms depends on following the advised schedule.
Slide 12: Prescription Responsibilities for a Nurse Practitioner
Examine carefully including renal performance and history of symptoms.
Look for contraindications and interactions with other drugs.
Work with pharmacists to check medications and educate patients.
Work with dietitians to underline changes in lifestyle.
Slide 13: Surveillance and Follow-Up
Surveillance:
Short-term: 2–4 week symptom relief.
Long term: Evaluate for ongoing therapeutic need.
For those on long-term use, follow-up on renal performance.
Check for possible side effects or indications of complications—such as GI haemorrhage.
Slide 14: Last Thought
One known and reasonably priced solution for acid-related disorders is famotidine.
Ensuring safe prescription, patient education, and consistent monitoring maximises patient outcomes as a nurse practitioner.
Reference Slides 15:
Incorporate in APA 7th edition style at least four current scientific articles:
2020 Johnson, C. R.; Smith, A. L. Function of H2 receptor antagonists in control of GERD. Journal of Gastroenterology Research, 34(2), 112–120. 10.1234/example @ doi.org
More sources particular to Famotidine pharmacology and case studies.
Peer-reviewed publications on Famotidine safety and efficacy.
This framework offers a professional and orderly way to present. Tell me whether you need help producing visual material for slides or writing particular sections.
QUESTION
For this week you will present a voiceover Powerpoint presentation (with the video on) on your drug of choice (Famotidine). You are to be dressed in office attire. The purpose of the presentation is for you to educate your colleagues on the drug you have selected. The presentation must include information about the:
- Drug pharmacology, pharmacokinetics
- Brand name
- Generic name
- Dosing
- Indications for use
- Side effects
- Contraindications
- Pregnancy class
- You must also perform a cost analysis of the drug.
- Provide a patient case study on a patient in which you would utilize the drug you have selected and include at least two peer-reviewed evidence-based studies related to the drug.
- Describe the appropriate patient education.
- What is your role as a Nurse Practitioner for prescribing this medication to this patient on your case study presentation?
- Describe the monitoring and follow-up.
Submission Instructions:
- Voiceover Presentation is original work and logically organized in current APA style including citation of references.
- Incorporate a minimum of 4 current (published within last five years) scholarly journal articles within your work.
