BACKGROUND
Magnesium has a regulatory role in the excitability of cell membranes, and is also a cofactor in the phosphorylation of thiamine. Hypomagnesemia has been associated with coronary vasospasm, but its role in cerebrovascular pathology is controversial, and cerebral vasospasm exclusively
Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is a clinical condition that was first described in 2004. The syndrome may occasionally be observed in long-term cannabis users and is characterized by a set of features: severe cyclic nausea and vomiting, recurrent epigastric or periumbilical pain, relief of
There are many theories and hypotheses concerning with the pathogenesis of migraine. The clinical effectiveness of vasoactive drugs and many investigations on the cerebral blood flow in patients with migraine strongly support a vascular theory. In present paper we report a case of 26-year-old
BACKGROUND
The safety of ergonovine/ergometrine stress testing for coronary vasospasm when performed outside the cardiac catheterization laboratory (cath lab) has been questioned vigorously.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the tolerability and safety of ergonovine/ergometrine stress testing performed in the
The 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonists are commonly used agents for the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting. However, these drugs can have significant cardiovascular adverse effects. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction after administration of dolasetron in a 17-year-old

Syntometrine is an effective uterotonic agent used in preventing primary postpartum haemorrhage but has adverse effects including nausea, vomiting, hypertension and coronary artery spasm. Carbetocin is a newly developed long-acting oxytocin analogue that might be used as an uterotonic
BACKGROUND

METHODS
We retrospectively
The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, and dosage and administration of almotriptan are reviewed. Migraine is a common disorder with a serious impact on quality of life. Newer serotonin-receptor agonists have been developed with the aim of improving pharmacokinetic

Delirium tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Literature documenting acute coronary events in the setting of alcohol withdrawal remains scarce. An accepted hypothesis for the underlying process is focused on the hyperadrenergic state that leads to coronary vasospasm 5-fluorouracil is an anti-cancer drug commonly used in oncology practice. Typical side effects are myelosupression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomatitis. Cardiotoxicity is the other toxicity. Cardiac side effects are ST segment changes, rhythm abnormalities, supraventricular and ventricular
