Avatar n tn I was taking Linzess and it didn't work and they offer a refund as long as you have your receipt and tell them why, etc.? Do you know if the manufacturer who makes Lubiprostone offers a refund if it doesn't work?

1042487 tn?1275279899 Off label discoveries are always interesting and there is often a great deal of knowledge that is coming with it that are, when they get to understand the mechanisms, good for the pursuit of human biology/neurobiology/pharmacodynamics understanding. On the other hand technology is really pushing forward and I expect to see a reduction of pharmaceutical uses in the next 2 decades.
Avatar m tn Alosetron has been approved for women with IBS and severe diarrhea and that too under strict vigilance and research program. Similarly Lubiprostone may be prescribed to men and women with IBS and constipation, again under strict vigilance. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care! I sincerely hope you will find this information useful in your journey towards better health. Hope you get well soon! Good Luck and take care!
Avatar f tn Here https://www.ebmconsult.com/articles/glucocorticoid-wbc-increase-steroids we have a review saying that there is a lot of *variability*, and "Some studies have shown increases in WBC counts greater than 20,000/mm3 ..." Here's a study about variability "Prednisolone Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Relation to Sex and Race" which also talks about estrogen levels: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar f tn The randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 clinical trial was designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of single ascending intravenous doses of AIC649 in CHB patients. Thirty-two patients were randomized in four ascending dose groups. Patients in each group received either single dosages of AIC649 or placebo and were monitored for 84 days. The majority of the patients were male, HBeAntigen (HBeAg)-negative, and HBV treatment naive.
Avatar f tn This phase includes trials designed to assess the safety (pharmacovigilance), tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of a drug. These trials are often conducted in an inpatient clinic, where the subject can be observed by full-time staff. The subject who receives the drug is usually observed until several half-lives of the drug have passed.
362971 tn?1201987034 if there were perfection in the petre dish or tube, there's would be no need of animal or human trials. funny I just had this discussion on why you could not access the carcinogenic potential of Human Growth Hormone based on how it grows cancer cells in a lab, minus the great equalizer of the human immune system, which shuts of aberant growths. Obviously is you put a growth chemical in a model with no restraints, you will get an optimal growth outcome not possible in the real world.
131114 tn?1380083190 This phase II study will evaluate the potential to achieve sustained virologic response 12 weeks post-treatment with an all oral, once-daily, interferon-free treatment regimen in patients infected with genotype 1 HCV. The study will assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of 12 and 24 weeks of PSI-7977 in combination with TMC435, with and without ribavirin, in patients infected with HCV genotype 1 who had a prior null response to peginterferon alfa and ribavirin treatment.
Avatar m tn Molixan® possesses unique biological and pharmacological effects due to the following: Regulation of thiol-disulfide metabolism in hepatocytes and immune cells. Regulation of endogenous production of cytokines by liver macrophages including IFN a and g determining the drug immunorehabilitating and antiviral activity. Pronounced differentiated impact on the normal and virus-transformed cells. Inhibition of ATP-ase/helicase activity of NS3 HCV.
Avatar n tn In a conflicting report, the effects of acute and chronic dosing of APAP on warfarin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics was studied in 20 healthy males in a 2-phase, randomized, crossover study. The mean serum concentrations of S- and R-warfarin did not differ significantly between treatments. There was no change in anticoagulation response between treatment and control (4). INR should be monitored more closely when APAP use exceeds 2 g/day or chronic use > 7 days occurs. References: 1.
Avatar m tn The only proven effective prevention of RBV-induced anemia is the concomitant administration of erythropoietin. Future research on RBV pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, as well as erythrocyte antioxidant defense mechanisms may improve safety and efficacy of RBV therapy and guide the development of new treatments for RBV-induced anemia and alternative antiviral agents.

Avatar m tn They are similar chemically and therefore have similar pharmacodynamics, which is why both trazodone and diphenhydramine, a first generation antihistamine, make a person drowsy (cause somnolence.) Frankly I don't like either the TCA or antihistamine hangover. While Ambien and other z-drugs cause less hangover, they have other negative side effects. I would suggest that the OP try melatonin.

Avatar f tn Knowing what CYP450 enzymes your built to produce can predict your analgesic response to medication, and used with your list of medications, a trained pharmacologist who understands those terms -- pharmacodynamics (PD), pharmacogenetics (PG), and pharmacokinetics (PK) -- can prevent nasty drug-drug interactions. The new frontier involves preventing severe reactions in drug allergies and minimizing unwanted side effects.
Avatar m tn interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene expression, cytokine and chemokine levels, lymphocyte and natural killer cell activation, and viral antigen expression. Clinical pathology parameters were monitored to determine the safety and tolerability of GS-9620. RESULTS:: Short-term oral administration of GS-9620 provided long-term suppression of serum and liver HBV DNA. The mean maximum reduction of viral DNA was 2.
Avatar f tn In pretty much all clinical trials, laboratory tests are performed as a tool for diagnosing the disease, assessing the safety / tolerability, assessing the pharmacokinetics / pharmacodynamics and so on. A very common issue is the reporting units for laboratory tests. There are two different unit systems: conventional units and SI units. U.S.
Avatar m tn The effectiveness of phosphorylation in the cytosol is critical in the process of creating the actual inhibitor, but is hard to measure in vivo. The classical pharmacodynamics parameters examine blood and urine and bile , but not the speed of uptake into the hepatocyte and the intracellular processing by enzymes into the final truly inhibiting triphosphate nucleotide analogs, that do the real job.
