Avatar m tn I am not physically restricted - I walk 1 mile or more day and do 10 minutes of other light exercises most days. My BP runs under 120/80 most of the time. I understand carvedilol helps prevent stiffening of the heart muscle and can help restore LV function to some degree. How specially, so it do this? What is the biochemical mechanism?
Avatar f tn through the lowering of vaginal pH to the physiological level of 3.8 - 4.5, anaerobic overgrowth is inhibited and the conditions for the re-growth of physiological lactobacilli flora are re-established. “ “The results of the present study show that 250 mg ascorbic acid vaginal tablets taken 6 days per month safely halves the risk of BV recurrence from 32.4% to 16.2% during a 6-month prophylactic treatment. The O.R.
Avatar f tn Valproate is believed to affect the function of the neurotransmitter GABA in the human brain, making it an alternative to lithium salts in treatment of bipolar disorder. Its mechanism of action includes enhanced neurotransmission of GABA (by inhibiting GABA transaminase, which breaks down GABA). However, several other mechanisms of action in neuropsychiatric disorders have been proposed for valproic acid in recent years. *Rosenberg, G. (2007).
Avatar m tn The mechanism of action of Campral® (acamprosate calcium) Delayed-Release Tablets in maintenance of alcohol abstinence is not completely understood. Originally, several neurotransmitter systems, including GABA, were investigated for a possible role in Campral's mechanism of action. However, recent evidence suggests Campral's main interaction is with the glutamate system. Chronic alcohol exposure is hypothesized to alter the normal balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition.

Avatar m tn Oyakawa I am in my 3rd year of medical school and I was wondering the mechanism of action of steroid injections in the eyelid causing cataracts. It is not an osmotic agent so why does that occur? thanks so much.
Avatar m tn s anti-viral preclinical program, with compound designated NVP018, has generated significant data indicating that NVP018 has the potential to become an effective alternative or addition to current drugs for treating chronic hepatitis B infections. This new data will be presented at the EASL (European Association for the Study of the Liver) congress in London, in April 2014 (www.ilc-congress.eu). The results indicate that NVP018 has a dual effect against the hepatitis B virus.
393986 tn?1303825975 The mechanism by which Gabapentin exerts its analgesic action is unknown, but in animal models of analgesia, Gabapentin prevents allodynia (pain-related behavior in response to a normally innocuous stimulus) and hyperalgesia (exaggerated response to painful stimuli). In particular, Gabapentin prevents pain-related responses in several models of neuropathic pain in rats or mice (e.g.
382218 tn?1341181487 Thanks for posting this DV. My favorite part was the mechanism of action for Tecfidera. "Poorly understood...
Avatar f tn Plavix has a unique mechanism of action by blocking the amplification of platelet activation by released ADP, and often used with aspirin to prevent the risk of clots for the first year after DES implant. Plavix and aspirin have different mechanism of action to prevent clots. After a year, plavix is usually discontinue as the risk for clots is decreased, and aspirin is continued long term. The risk of a clot is about 3%.
Avatar f tn Without getting into the pharmocological aspects regarding the mechanism of action of asprin resistance and the mechanixm of activity of plavix (clopidogrel), the American Academy of Cardiology recommends tests. Dr. Waksman: "I'll try to do my best because it's a controversy.
Avatar n tn a peck and a hug around the neck, boy that brings back some memories, now about the indigestion, that would depend on how long you have been on the Plavix, and also besides the obvious blood thinning action of Plavix what brought you to be on it? I recieved a heart stent in 09' and they put me on it then along with the aspirin. This year my doctor said that I could now go back on prilosec. The gov.
Avatar f tn Now for the past 6-8 weeks I have had an almost constant feeling of a lump/bubble/knot in my throat. i am aware of acid reflux at times, but not all the time. Sometimes the esophagus goes into a spasm and I find myself gasping for air - this has always happened while I am at rest, but not while I am up and active. I have no trouble with swallowing food.

26471 tn?1211936521 Apparently, these factors are already in place before we even begin tx, especially in geno 1b. There are two 1b amino acid switches that may be predictors of nonresponse, and may be the reason why 1b is a little tougher to clear.
Avatar f tn Potassium is a chemical element and it is part of the electrolyte that should be in balance with other lytes to adequately conduct an electrical impulse that originates with the sinus node in the right atrium. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but what is when a voltage (unit of potential for conduction) and electrolyte there will conduction and passage of electrical impluses.
Avatar n tn Hello Dear, Lack of sweat could be just a normal variation in your daughter’s body cooling mechanism or there could be the following possibilities- skin diseases or conditions that can block or clog sweat ducts ,injury to the skin and sweat glands, including burns ,dehydration and heat stroke ,malfunctions of the hypothalamus (the area of the brain that regulates temperature), or other neurological conditions,thyroid gland problems ,use of certain medications .
Avatar m tn http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/578705 Ribavirin improves early responses to peginterferon through improved interferon signaling. Gastroenterology. 2010 Jul;139 The therapeutic mechanisms of ribavirin for hepatitis C are unclear. Microarray analyses have shown that ribavirin increases induction of interferon-stimulated genes. We evaluated viral kinetics, serum cytokine expression, and viral mutagenesis during early stages of peginterferon therapy with and without ribavirin.
541196 tn?1293552936 I often have bouts of indegestion and acid stomach with reflux. I have been medicated with nexium in the past, which helped, but my insurance doesn't cover it with out major hoops to jump through. I have tried OTC ones in the same group, but they don't seem to work as well for me. I seem to get lightheaded and headaches with my acid reflux and I wonder if this is normal?
Avatar m tn It's not uncommon for people with GERD to present with asthma-like symptoms. Acid gets into the lungs, causes inflammation and even spasms, and voila! Asthma-like issues. A hiatal hernia, unless is HUGE, doesn't do much in the way of preventing the lungs to expand. However, since a hiatal hernia that's "up" causes the LES to stop working by displacing the mechanism, it would make it very easy for acid to splash up. If the docs say it's not asthma, it's not.
Avatar m tn Seeing an orthodontist is advised.
Avatar n tn I've been given lansoprazole by my doctor for suspected overproduction of stomach acid. Although i still have diarrhoea, the tablets seemed to have lessen all the other sytoms (mainly pain, feeling sick and being sick). But i am worried as to why i have developed this. Before the tablets, it has been getting steadily worse for around two months. I am nearly at the end of a monthly course of tablets and will be seeing the doctor soon, what further tests or treatments should i be asking for?
Avatar n tn Some medications are actually derived from plants. The mechanism of action and effect on the body determines the classification, therefore, laxatives can be synthetic or natural.
