BEROTEC® Inhalation Aerosol BEROTEC® FORTE Inhalation Aerosol Boehringer Ingelheim Fenoterol HBr Bronchodilator Action And Clinical Pharmacology: The bronchodilating effect of fenoterol is produced primarily by stimulation of b2 receptors in the bronchial smooth muscles. The effect has been measured by means of spirometry (FEV1, FVC, MMFR), peak flow rates, flow volume curves, airway resistance (plethysmography) and oscillation mechanics. Fenoterol, when administered by inhalation, exerts a significant increase in pulmonary function…

BEROTEC® Inhalation Solution Boehringer Ingelheim Fenoterol HBr Bronchodilator Action And Clinical Pharmacology: The bronchodilating effect of fenoterol is produced primarily by stimulation of b2-receptors in the bronchial smooth muscles. The effect has been measured by means of spirometry (FEV1, FVC, MMFR), peak flow rates, flow volume curves, airway resistance (plethysmography) and oscillation mechanics. Fenoterol, when administered by inhalation, exerts a significant increase in pulmonary function 5 minutes after administration and…

BENTYLOL® Hoechst Marion Roussel Dicyclomine HCl Antispasmodic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Dicyclomine relieves smooth muscle spasm of the gastrointestinal tract. Animal studies indicate that this action is achieved via a dual mechanism: 1) a specific anticholinergic effect (antimuscarinic) at the ACh-receptor sites with approximately 1/8 the mg potency of atropine (in vitro guinea pig ileum); 2) a direct effect upon smooth muscle (musculotropic) as evidenced by dicyclomine’s antagonism of bradykinin-…

BENZAMYCIN® Dermik Laboratories Canada Erythromycin – Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Therapy Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Erythromycin is a bacteriostatic macrolide antibiotic, but may be bactericidal in high concentrations. Although the mechanism by which erythromycin acts in reducing inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris is not fully elucidated, it is presumably due to its antibiotic action. It inhibits the growth of P. acnes on the surface of the skin, and reduces the concentration…

Pre- and postoperatively, when indicated, and in debilitated patients. Secondary deficiencies of the above vitamins caused by severe vomiting, chronic diarrhea, celiac disease, and other conditions interfering with normal absorption and metabolism. Dosage And Administration: The reconstituted solution may be injected slowly into the vein or…

Allergic diseases such as hay fever, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, angioedema, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, gastrointestinal allergy, pruritus, physical allergies, reactions to injection of contrast media, reactions to therapeutic preparations and allergic transfusion reactions; also postoperative nausea and vomiting, motion sickness, and quieting emotionally disturbed children. Contra-Indications: Cream should not be applied to extensively denuded…

BENEMID® MSD Probenecid Uricosuric Agent Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Probenecid is a uricosuric and a blocking agent of tubular secretion of organic anions. It inhibits the tubular reabsorption of urate, thus increasing the urinary excretion of uric acid and decreasing serum urate levels. Effective uricosuria reduces the miscible urate pool, retards urate deposition and promotes resorption of urate deposits. Probenecid inhibits the tubular secretion of penicillin and usually increases penicillin…

BECLOVENT® INHALER BECLOVENT® ROTACAPS® BECLOVENT® ROTAHALER® Glaxo Wellcome Beclomethasone Dipropionate Corticosteroid for the Treatment of Bronchial Asthma Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Beclomethasone dipropionate is a potent anti-inflammatory steroid with strong topical and weak systemic activity. When inhaled at therapeutic doses it has a direct anti-inflammatory action on the bronchial mucosa. Since with therapeutic doses the minute amounts absorbed do not exert any significant systemic effect, inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate can replace…

BECONASE Aq® Glaxo Wellcome Beclomethasone Dipropionate Corticosteroid for Nasal Use Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Beclomethasone dipropionate is a potent anti-inflammatory steroid with strong topical and weak systemic activity. When inhaled intranasally at therapeutic doses, it has a direct anti-inflammatory action within the nasal mucosa, the mechanism of which is not yet completely defined. The minute amount absorbed in therapeutic doses has not been shown to exert any apparent clinical systemic…

BEANO® Block Drug Alpha-D-Galactosidase Alpha Galactosidase Enzyme Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Hydrolysis converts raffinose, stachyose and verbascose into their digestible sugar components: glucose, galactose, sucrose and fructose. Raffinose yields sucrose+ galactose; stachyose yields sucrose+galactose; verbascose yields glucose+fructose+galactose. Indications And Clinical Uses: Helps prevent gas. Beano enzyme has been shown to be effective in both clinical and anecdotal studies with humans when consuming foods with high alpha-linked sugar content. Use results…
