			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Teeth whitening are carried out to clean your teeth from yellow or brown stains that form on the inner and outer layer of your teeth. Different techniques are applied for teeth whitening. And with advanced technology more new techniques are being introduced to make the teeth whitening process simple and easy. All these different techniques of <a href="http://www.miraclesformen.com/teeth-whitening">teeth whitening</a> are practiced by dentists.</p>
<p>The overall goal of all teeth whitening is to get rid of brown and yellow staining. There are chemical whitening techniques, laser teeth whitening, mild acid whitening and to name a few. All these techniques cost you different amounts. The teeth whitening cost basically depends on the sophistication of the method applied and the availability of the technique. At present the laser technique is the most expensive affair of teeth whitening. The costs though vary a lot from state to state and from clinic to clinic but they revolve around a particular base figure. For instance the cost of bleach teeth whitening is around $500. Laser teeth whitening exceed $1,000.</p>
<p>Thus this is how the teeth whitening cost depends on the technique you choose to clean your teeth. If you use laser technique definitely you have to pay more because of the cost of machinery and sophistication used. Good set of teeth has nice impact on <a href="http://www.miraclesformen.com/">mens health</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li>Use exactly as prescribed.</li>
<li>Lower dosages are recommended for elderly, adolescent, and outpatients, as compared to hospitalized patients who will be under close supervision. Initiate dosage at a low level and increase gradually, noting carefully the clinical response and any evidence of intolerance. Once depressive symptoms are controlled, maintenance doses will be required for a longer period of time, at the lowest dose that will maintain symptom control.</li>
<li>For many of these medicines, it is not possible to prescribe a single dos­age schedule that is therapeutically effective in all patients. Consequently, the recommended dosage regimens are only a guide, which may be modified by factors such as age, chronic disease, severity of the disease, medical condition of the patient, and degree of psychotherapeutic support.</li>
<li>If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If several hours have passed or if it is nearing time for the next dose, do not double the dose in order to catch up, unless advised to do so by your doctor. If more than one dose is missed, or it is necessary to establish a new dosage schedule, contact your doctor or pharmacist.</li>
<li>Once symptoms are controlled, therapy may need to be continued for several months to lessen the chance of relapse.</li>
<li>Do not change the dose or discontinue therapy unless advised to do so by your doctor.</li>
<li>These drugs may take 1 to 4 weeks to improve symptoms of depression.</li>
<li>Do not use in combination with an MAOI or within 14 days of discontinuing treatment with an MAOI. After stopping this medicine, wait at least 2 weeks before starting an MAOI.</li>
<li>Using these drugs with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants (eg, pain relievers, sedatives, barbiturates) may cause added drowsiness.</li>
<li>May cause drowsiness or blurred vision. Use caution while driving or performing other tasks requiring alertness, coordination, or physical dexterity.</li>
<li>Symptoms of nausea, headache, or fatigue may develop after abruptly stopping a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) after long-term use.</li>
<li>Notify your doctor if dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, increased heart rate, impaired coordination, difficult urination, excessive sedation, or seizures occur.</li>
<li>Notify your doctor if you develop a fever or sore throat.</li>
<li>Notify your doctor if you experience drowsiness, dizziness, or postural hypotension. Your doctor may need to reduce the dose.</li>
<li>Be sure your doctor and pharmacist are aware of the following ­ Other medical conditions. All medications, including nonprescription medicines, that you are taking. If you have had an unusual or allergic reaction to any TCA or to maprotiline. If you are pregnant or may become pregnant. If you are breastfeeding.</li>
<li>May cause sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and UV light (eg, tanning beds). Use sunscreens and wear protective clothing until tolerance is determined.</li>
<li>Taking these drugs at bedtime may help reduce side effects (eg, day­time drowsiness). Discuss this possibility with your doctor or pharmacist.</li>
<li>Lab tests may be required to monitor therapy. Be sure to keep appointments.</li>
<li>Store at room temperature in a child-resistant container. Patients should supervise this drug carefully in the home. Amitriptyline:</li>
<li>Usual initial adult dosage for outpatients is 75 mg/day in divided doses. If necessary, this may be increased (preferably at bedtime doses) to a total of 150 mg/day. An alternative method is to begin with 50 to 100 mg at bedtime. This may be increased by 25 or 50 mg as necessary in the bedtime dose to a total of 150 mg/day. Smaller initial doses may be needed if side effects appear with higher doses.</li>
<li>Hospitalized patients may require 100 mg/day initially, which can be increased gradually to 200 mg/day. A small number of patients may need up to 300 mg/day.</li>
<li>Usual dosage for children and elderly patients is 10 mg 3 times a day with 20 mg at bedtime.</li>
<li>Usual maintenance dosage is 50 to 100 mg given as a single dose at bedtime.</li>
<li>Injection Dosage - Injection should be used for initial therapy in hospitalized patients who are unable or unwilling to take tablets. Tablets should replace the injection as soon as possible. Usual initial dosage by injection is 20 to 30 mg (2 to 3 ml) 4 times a day. Intramuscular doses may cause the effects to appear more rapidly than with tablets. Amoxapine:</li>
<li>Usual starting dosage is 50 mg 2 or 3 times daily. Dosage may be increased to 100 mg 2 or 3 times daily by the end of the first week.</li>
<li>Increases above 300 mg/day dose should only be made if 300 mg/day had been ineffective during a trial period of at least 2 weeks.</li>
<li>Usual effective dose is 200 to 300 mg/day. If no response is seen at 300 mg, dosage may be increased to 400 mg/day. Hospitalized patients who have been refractory to antidepressant therapy and who have no history of convulsive seizures may have dosage raised cautiously up to 600 mg/day in divided doses.</li>
<li> Once the effective dose is established, the daily maintenance dose, if not more than 300 mg, can be given as a single dose at bedtime. If maintenance dose is more than 300 mg per day, then divided doses should be used.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Mipramine HCI:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Usual initial adult dose for outpatients is 75 mg/day increased to 150 mg/day. Doses over 200 mg/day are not recommended. Maintenance dose is 50 to 150 mg/day.</li>
<li>For hospitalized patients, usual initial adult dosage is 100 mg/day in divided doses gradually increased to 200 mg/day as required. If no response occurs after 2 weeks, increase dose to 250 to 300 mg/day.</li>
<li>For adolescents and elderly patients, usual initial dose is 30 to 40 mg/day, not to exceed 100 mg/day.</li>
<li>Childhood bed wetting - An oral dosage of 25 mg/day given 1 hour before bedtime should be tried in children 6 years of age and older.</li>
<li>If satisfactory response does not occur within 1 week, increase the dose to 50 mg nightly in children younger than 12 years of age; children older than 12 may receive up to 75 mg nightly.</li>
<li>Doses larger than 75 mg do not work better and tend to incense the side effects.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong> Imipramine HCI (cant.): </strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Consider instituting a drug-free period following an adequate therapeutic trial with a favorable response.</li>
<li>To reduce the tendency to relapse, taper dosage gradually rather than discontinue abruptly.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Imipramine pamaate:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Initiate adult dose for outpatients at 75 mg/day and increase to 150 mg/day, which is the dose level at which optimum response is usually obtained. If necessary, dose may be increased to 200 mg/day. Doses higher than 75 mg/day may also be administered on a once-a­day basis at bedtime after the optimum dosage and tolerance have been determined.</li>
<li>Maintenance dosage is usually 75 to 150 mg/day administered on a once-a-day basis, preferably at bedtime.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Nortriptyline:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Usual adult dosage is 25 mg 3 to 4 times daily. As an alternative regimen, the total daily dose may be given once a day.</li>
<li>Doses above 150 mg/day per day are not recommended.</li>
<li>Usual dosage in elderly patients is 30 to 50 mg/day in divided doses.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Protriptyline:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Usual adult dosage is 15 to 40 mg/day divided into 3 or 4 doses. If necessary, dose may be increased to 60 mg/day. Make dose increases with the morning dose.</li>
<li>Doses above 60 mg/day are not recommended.</li>
<li>For elderly patients, the usual dosage is 5 mg 3 times a day initially and is increased gradually. The cardiovascular system must be monitored closely if the daily dose exceeds 20 mg.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Trimipramine:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Usual initial adult dosage for outpatients is 75 mg/day in divided doses. May be increased to 150 mg/day if needed.</li>
<li>Doses over 200 mg/day are not recommended.</li>
<li>Hospitalized patients may be given 100 mg/day initially in divided doses, increased gradually in a few days to 200 mg/day. If improvement does not occur in 2 to 3 weeks, the dose may be increased to the maxi­mum recommended dose of 250 to 300 mg/day.</li>
<li>Usual initial dose for adolescents and elderly patients is 50 mg/day, increasing in gradual increments up to 100 mg/day.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Type of drug:</h2>
<p>Antidepressants; mood-elevating agents.</p>
<h2>How the Drug Works:</h2>
<p>Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) appear to adjust or rebalance the brain&#8217;s own natural chemicals (neurotransmitters), which control mood, feelings, and behaviors. The effect may take a few weeks (1 to 4) to be noticed.</p>
<h2>Uses:</h2>
<p>For the relief of symptoms of depression (except clomipramine).</p>
<p><strong>Clomipramine: </strong>Only for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.</p>
<p><strong>Doxepin: </strong>To treat anxiety.</p>
<p><strong>Imipramine: </strong>For the treatment of bedwetting in children 6 years of age and older after possible organic causes have been excluded by appropriate tests.</p>
<p><strong>Unlabeled Uses: </strong>Occasionally doctors may prescribe doxepin, clomipramine, imipramine, or amitriptyline to control chronic pain and to treat bulimia. Imipramine, clomipramine, nortriptyline, and other tricyclic anti­depressants have also been used to treat panic disorder. Amitriptyline has been used to prevent the onset of cluster and migraine headaches and to treat pathologic weeping and laughing secondary to forebrain disease. Protriptyline has been used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Trimipramine and doxepin have been studied in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and to treat skin disorders. Desipramine has been used to facilitate cocaine withdrawal and to treat bulimia. Clomipramine and nortriptyline have been used to treat panic disorder. Nortriptyline has also been used to treat skin disorders and premenstrual depression.</p>
<h2>Precautions:</h2>
<p><strong>Tardive Dyskinesia: </strong>Involuntary and uncontrollable movements may develop in patients treated with these drugs. Occurrence is highest among the elderly, especially women. The risk of developing these involuntary movements and the likelihood that they will become permanent are increased as the length of treatment and the total amount of drug given increases. However, it is possible to develop these symptoms after short-term treatment at low doses.</p>
<p><strong>Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) </strong>Is a potentially fatal syndrome associated with use of tricyclic antidepressants. Symptoms include increased body heat, muscle rigidity, altered mental abilities including catatonia, irregular pulse or irregular blood pressure, increased heart rate, sweating, and irregular heart rhythm.</p>
<p><strong>Withdrawal Symptoms: </strong>Stopping abruptly after prolonged therapy may pro­duce nausea, headache, dizziness, nightmares, and malaise. Clomipramine may also cause vomiting, sleep disturbances, hyperthermia (abnormally high temperature), and irritability. Gradual dose reduction may produce, within 2 weeks, transient symptoms including irritability, restlessness, dreams, and sleep disturbances.</p>
<p><strong>Sensitivity to sunlight: </strong>May occur. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. Use sunscreens and wear protective clothing until tolerance is determined. These drugs may reduce tolerance to hot weather.</p>
<p><strong>Pregnancy: </strong>Adequate studies have not been done in pregnant women. Use only if clearly needed and potential benefits outweigh the possible hazards to the fetus. There have been a few reports of birth defects associated with use of imipramine and amitriptyline. Withdrawal symptoms have been seen in newborns of mothers who have taken clomipramine, desipramine, or imipramine until delivery.</p>
<p><strong>Breastfeeding: </strong>Tricyclic antidepressants appear in breast milk. Because of the potential for adverse reactions, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. Consult your doctor before you begin breastfeeding.</p>
<p><strong>Children: </strong>Amitriptyline and doxepin are not recommended for patients younger than 12 years of age. Safety and effectiveness have not been established for amoxapine in children younger than 16 years of age. Imipramine HCI use in bed wetting should be limited to children 6 years of age or older. The safety and effectiveness of imipramine HCI in children with conditions other than bed wetting have not been established. Safety and effectiveness have not been established for clomipramine in children younger than 10 years of age. Trimipramine, nortriptyline, desipramine, imipramine pamoate, and protriptyline are not recommended for use in children.</p>
<p><strong>Elderly: </strong>Elderly patients are particularly sensitive to the anticholinergic effects (eg, constipation; difficulty urinating; confusion) of tricyclic antideprossants and may be at increased risk for falls. Lower than normal adult doses are generally used when starting therapy.</p>
