AB This  chapter  is  a  tabular  list  of  commonly  used  medications  on  the  neurology  wards  for  quick  reference  in  text  and  table  formats.  A  working  pharmacotherapy  knowledge  base  is  essential  to  dosing  and  optimizing  patient  care.  This  chapter  is  intended  to  highlight  practical  dosing  considerations  and  common  problems  associated  with  the  pharmacologic  management  of  patients  with  neurologic  disorders.  Pain  management,  cardiac  medications  including  blood  pressure  management,  antiplatelets,  and  anticoagulants  are  covered  in  this  chapter.  In  addition,  antidepressants,  antipsychotics,  antiepileptic  drugs,  and  agents  for  the  treatment  of  inflammatory  and  demyelinating  diseases  are  covered  in  more  detail.  A  complete  discussion  of  the  pharmacology  and  pharmacokinetics  of  all  medications  highlighted  is  beyond  the  scope  of  this  chapter.  Thus,  this  will  not  replace  available  tertiary  references  or  the  most  valuable  medication  reference,  the  clinical  pharmacist.  The  addition  of  a  clinical  pharmacist  can  provide  you  with  further  dosing  and  medication  management  considerations.
