Self-administration of medicines

Nursing Standard, 1991
In the fourth of this six-part series on nurse prescribing, Susan Davis assesses the advantages and disadvantages of patient self-administration of medicines in hospital. The former, she asserts, considerably outweigh the latter; a controlled self-administration programme can hasten a patient's progress towards full independence and ease the often ...

Self-administration of medicines

British Journal of Nursing, 1994
Self-administration of medicines by patients in hospitals and residential homes can lead to increased comprehension and compliance with treatment after discharge and thus to a reduction in readmission rates. It can also increase the self-esteem of chronically ill patients by allowing them to take responsibility for their own health.

Nicotine self-administration in baboons

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1983
Two experiments were conducted in which responding maintained by nicotine and cocaine was studied under two different schedules of drug delivery. In Experiment 1, nicotine (0.01-0.32 mg/kg IV) was available under a fixed-ratio 2 timeout 15 sec reinforcement schedule.

Methamphetamine self-administration by humans

Psychopharmacology, 2001
Methamphetamine abuse has become increasingly problematic. Yet, the reinforcing effects of methamphetamine in humans have not been systematically evaluated.To characterize methamphetamine's reinforcing effects in human research participants under controlled laboratory conditions.Eight healthy research volunteers (one female, seven males) completed this

ACTH self-administration in rats

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1979
The ability of rats to learn a lever pressing response reinforced by a contingent intravenous delivery of ACTH 1--24 and 4--10, was investigated. About 60% of the rats tested learned to press the lever for the two analogues that were infused at a rate of 2.08 microgram per second via a chronically implanted intrajugular catheter.

Cocaine self-administration in pigeons

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1991
Pigeons with chronic indwelling intravenous catheters responded under a multiple schedule of food and cocaine presentation. In one component, responding was maintained by food presentation under a fixed-ratio (FR 50) schedule, whereas in the other component, responding was maintained under the same schedule by IV infusions of cocaine (0.03 or 0.1 mg/kg/

Pharmacology of drug self-administration

Alcohol, 1990
Limited access to drugs provides a reliable model for their acute-reinforcing effects and a means by which to explore neuropharmacological mechanisms involved in these effects. In limited access situations intravenous self-administration rates of opiates and psychomotor stimulants is inversely related to dose, and competitive antagonists at low doses ...

Nicotine self-administration in rats

Psychopharmacology, 1995
Considering the importance of self-administration models in determining mechanisms of drug maintained behavior, we attempted to replicate the findings of nicotine self-administration by Corrigall and Coen. Male, Sprague-Dawley rats, trained on food reinforcement, acquired relatively high and stable rates of self-administration of IV nicotine bitartrate
