Avatar m tn I have beem taking carvedilol for three years and have never seen a description of it so concise and 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 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 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 m tn she has had severe pain in her joints as well as a lot of pain in her hands and arms...no it is not arthritis.....my question is....what will happen if she combines the methadone and the pregabalin?...she takes methadone about every other day...a bottle of 130mg methadone will last her almost 5 to 6 days....any info would be helpful.

Avatar n tn A heart murmur is a sound heard as the blood flows through the heart and especially the blood flow through the heart valves. If there is a defect, a stethoscope hears a specific sound for different defects. â– Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. ACE inhibitors lower the system's blood pressure. The mechanism of action is to relax the blood vessels and that provides less resistance for the heart to pump against and decreases blood pressure.
Avatar n tn Although plavix and aspirin are anti-platelet agents, plavix has a different mechanism of action that seems to be specialized for drug eluding stent to prevent restenosis. Laviquin is an antibiotic medication! and there is a class-action suit against Laviqiin providers that is currently unresolved.
Avatar f tn As with any CNS active drug, physicians should carefully evaluate patients for history of drug abuse and observe them for signs of LYRICA misuse or abuse (e.g., development of tolerance, dose escalation, drug-seeking behavior." I have been doing some searching, as I said I would. I have found numerous posts on tolerance. And as you can see even some of the litature discusses tolerance. So I do beleive as with most medications, your body can build a tolerance to Lyrica.
Avatar m tn We elucidated the unique mechanism of action of glycyrrhizin on HBsAg processing, intracellular transport, and secretion.
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.
Avatar n tn Other medications associated with green urine may contain phenol groups and include promethazine, thymol, cimetidine, and propofol. The mechanism of action appears to be caused by phenol's conjugation by the liver and subsequent excretion by the kidneys. The strength of the green seems to be dose related. Some nonphenol drugs noted to produce green urine are metoclopramide, amitriptyline, and indomethacin.
Avatar m tn Seeing an orthodontist is advised.
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.
Avatar f tn I know most people are able to inhale air to expand their bellies (belly breathing), and some are able to make their bellies become larger by breathing in a certain pattern which imitates a pump to kind of slowly push out their abdominal walls with each breath. May I know the mechanism behind this? (Pressure, volume in cavities, diaphragm movements) What happens when a person retains this pushed out abdominal wall for a prolonged period?
Avatar f tn , duloxetine) has a combination mechanism of action involving serotonin and norepinephrine making it useful in depression and also neuropathic pain. When a peripheral nerve is injured there is an increase in pain sensitive fibers leading to increase pain recognition. This causes a change in central (i.e., brain/spinal cord) recognition of pain. One major neurotransmitter involved in this is norepinephrine. Cymbalta works to modulate this change.
Avatar n tn "Mechanism of Action Oxomemazine, a phenothiazine derivative, is a sedating antihistamine" The above information is about all I could find on this drug. If it is used in the US, I have no idea what label it's under. Even if I had been able to find more information, I am not qualified to tell you to either stop or start or change any medications. You need to speak with your doctor or chemist for an answer to your question.
