Medication Discussion for URI

This discussion focuses on the pharmacokinetics and dosing of medications used for upper respiratory infections (URIs), specifically comparing QID (four times a day) versus TID/HS (three times a day at bedtime) dosing regimens. We will explore the efficacy and safety of various decongestants, bronchodilators, cough suppressants, antibiotics, and corticosteroids. Emphasis will be placed on reminding patients to take half a tablet of the prescribed antihistamine/decongestant if dizziness occurs. The combination of Methon with Bisolven is recommended, along with NoCough syrup for pediatric patients.
