WHAT DOES PREMEDICATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Premedication

Premedication refer to a drug treatment given to a patient before a medical procedure. These drugs are typically sedative or analgesic. Premedication before chemotherapy for cancer often refers to special drug regimens given to a patient minutes to hours before the chemotherapy to avert side effects or hypersensitivity reactions. Melatonin has been found to be effective as a premedication in both adults and children due to its pharmacological properties of hypnotic, antinociceptive and anticonvulsant which produce effective anxiolosis and sedation. Unlike midazolam melatonin does not impair psychomotor skills or adversely affect the quality of recovery. It has a faster recovery time compared to midazolam and has a reduced incidence of post-operative excitement and results in a reduction in dose required of propofol and thiopental. Midazolam is effective in children in reducing anxiety associated with separation from parents and induction of anesthesia. Sufentanil is also sometimes used as a premedication. Clonidine is becoming increasingly popular as a premedication for children. One drawback of clonidine is that it can take up to 45 minutes to take full effect.
