• To administer — To manage, direct, govern, or organize the assets, business, or activity of an institution, commercial company, or private individual; also, in a medical context, to give, apply, or introduce a medicine or treatment into a patient's organism; in a legal or penal sense, to mete out a punishment or administer a proof.
• Administered — Managed, directed, controlled, or organized by an authority or a manager; also, in a medical context, describes a treatment or therapeutic substance that has already been introduced into a patient's organism. As a participle, it represents the completed state of the verb 'administra'.
• Aminophylline — A stable complex composed of theophylline and ethylenediamine in a one-to-one molar ratio, widely used as a bronchodilator medication in the treatment of obstructive airway diseases, such as bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Due to its xanthine component, it inhibits phosphodiesterase, increasing intracellular cyclic AMP levels, which leads to the relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and direct relief of dyspnea attacks.
• Antalgic — Having the property to calm, diminish, or suppress the sensation of pain; analgesic. As a noun, it denotes any medicinal substance or pharmaceutical preparation administered to block the transmission of pain signals to the central nervous system without causing loss of consciousness.
• Antifebrile — Combating, reducing, or preventing fever (the pathological increase in body temperature); a medicinal substance or natural remedy with antipyretic action. Antifebrile drugs act on the hypothalamus to reset the thermal autoregulation center affected by pyrogens.
• Antiphlogistic — Reducing, combating, or preventing inflammation and its associated manifestations, such as edema, redness, or local pain; anti-inflammatory. In classical pharmacology, the term describes a substance or medicinal treatment designed to block pro-inflammatory biochemical cascades.
• Anti-flu — Preventing, combating, alleviating, or treating influenza and its clinical manifestations; a medicinal or biological preparation (vaccine) designed to neutralize influenza viruses or reduce associated symptoms. Antiflu medications include specific antivirales and symptomatic mixtures.
• Antipsychotic — Combating, mitigating, or eliminating manifestations specific to psychosis, such as hallucinations, delusions, extreme agitation, or severe thought disorders. As a noun, it designates a major class of psychotropic medications (historically known as neuroleptics), divided into first-generation (typical) and second-generation (atypical), used in treating schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other severe psychiatric conditions by modulating dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitter systems.
• To self-administer — To administer a medication, substance, or medical treatment to oneself, without the direct intervention or supervision of a medical professional; also, to lead, manage, or govern oneself independently, through one's own efforts and internal resources, applied to a community, institution, or territorial entity.
• Self-administration — The act of self-administering or its result; autonomous management of one's own affairs, resources, or structures by an institution or community, independent of a higher authority; also, the act of introducing a drug or therapeutic substance into one's own organism.
• Self-medication — A medical practice consisting of the initiation and administration of drugs, supplements, or remedies by an individual on their own initiative, to treat self-diagnosed symptoms without consulting a doctor and without an authorized prescription. While useful in managing minor ailments through OTC products, uncontrolled self-medication represents a major public health concern due to severe risks of misdiagnosis, adverse drug reactions, dangerous interactions, and the development of antibiotic resistance.
• Self-treatment — A form of medical treatment or care that an individual administers to themselves at home (through the use of over-the-counter medications, natural remedies, hygienic-sanitary procedures, or physical exercises) without the direct supervision or prescription of a qualified physician. In the psychological sphere, it denotes the use of self-help techniques to correct mild negative emotional moods.
• Bacteriostatic — Stopping, inhibiting, or blocking the multiplication and development of bacteria without destroying them directly or irreversibly, leaving the final elimination of the microorganisms to the host's immune system. Biochemically and clinically, bacteriostatic substances (such as certain antibiotics like tetracyclines or macrolides) clearly differentiate from bactericidal agents, which kill microbial cells.
