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?

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.

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%.
Can prednisone drop tsh levels in the blood? Started my dose of 20 mg three times a day. The next day went in to do labs and my tsh is .25.
I hate prednisone. I am prescribed 30 mg/ day for symptoms of an autoimmune disorder. The only symptom it seems to relieve is the fatigue, but nothing else. The side effects are horrible: moon face, high blood pressure, profuse sweating, irratibility, inability to deal with stress, and that is not including the side effects I get to look forward to in the next 10-15 years. I hate it so much that I have started weaning myself off of it with out my Dr's guidance.
Benadryl and prednisone. You can get the benadryl over the counter, but the prednisone is a steroid that mush be prescribed. Have you seen your health care provider for this?
the body is a well tuned mechanism and senses this....this is why u have to taper off of a prednisone pack...same idea as ur body quitsproducing as much steroid when u feed it prednisone... learned alot about this after i quit and posted a good article on dopamine in my journal that someone else posted here i think....like gtm said...also someone who swallows 6 pills once a day would have a harder time than someone who took 1 pill 6 x a day....

You never had an exposure.
Yes. The mechanism is by lowering the hematocrit, which sometimes occurs. A lowered hematocrit is viewed by the body as increasing vulnerability, and the "lizard brain" takes over (it's hard-wired), sometimes resulting in innappropriate verbal responses. The same thing happens when you take prednisone over long periods.
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.

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.
