Act-HIB® Connaught Haemophilus b Conjugate Vaccine (Tetanus Protein – Conjugate) Active Immunizing Agent Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Clinical Data (PRP-T): Haemophilus b Conjugate Vaccine has been administered during clinical trials to over 110 000 infants and children in Canada, the U.S., Finland, France, Chile, Israel, and the United Kingdom using local immunization schedules, and has been used widely in immunization programmes. In clinical trials where 921 infants were given the…

ACCUPRIL™ Parke-Davis Quinapril HCl Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Quinapril is a nonpeptide, nonsulphydryl inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), which is used in the treatment of hypertension. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is a peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. After absorption, quinapril is rapidly de-esterified to quinaprilat (quinapril diacid), its principal active metabolite. Its primary mode of action…

ACCURETIC™ Parke-Davis Quinapril HCl – Hydrochlorothiazide Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor – Diuretic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Accuretic is a fixed-combination tablet which combines the antihypertensive actions of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, quinapril HCl, and a diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide. In clinical studies, administration of this combination produced greater reductions in blood pressure than the single agents given alone. Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism: Quinapril: Following oral administration of quinapril, peak plasma concentrations of quinapril…

ACCUTANE™ ROCHE® Roche Isotretinoin Acne Therapy Action And Clinical Pharmacology: The mechanism of action of isotretinoin is unknown. Vitamin A is important for functional integrity of the skin and is known to affect the keratinization process. In acne patients, improvement occurs in association with a reduction in sebum secretion. The decrease in sebum secretion is temporary and is related to either the dose or duration of isotretinoin administration and reflects…

ACE INHIBITORS General Monograph, Benazepril Captopril Cilazapril Enalapril Enalaprilat Fosinopril Lisinopril Perindopril Quinapril Ramipril Trandolapril Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor, Action And Clinical Pharmacology: The renin-angiotensin system is a complex neuroendocrine system involved in the regulation of hemodynamics and water and electrolyte balance. When released from the kidney in response to a decrease in blood volume, renal perfusion pressure or plasma sodium concentration, renin acts on its substrate, angiotensinogen, to form…

ABBOKINASE® OPEN-CATH® Abbott Urokinase Fibrinolytic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Urokinase acts on the endogenous fibrinolytic system. It converts plasminogen to the enzyme plasmin. Plasmin degrades fibrin clots as well as fibrinogen. When used as directed for i.v. catheter clearance only small amounts of urokinase may reach the circulation; therefore, therapeutic serum levels are not expected to be achieved. Nevertheless, one should be aware of the clinical pharmacology of urokinase. I.V….

ABENOL® SmithKline Beecham Acetaminophen Analgesic – Antipyretic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Acetaminophen is the major metabolite of phenacetin and acetanilide. Animal and clinical studies have shown acetaminophen to have antipyretic and analgesic activity equal to that of ASA. Acetaminophen lacks anti-inflammatory effects. Unlike the salicylates, acetaminophen does not interfere with tubular secretion of uric acid nor does it affect acid-base balance if taken in therapeutic doses. Acetaminophen does not interfere…

ACCOLATE® Zeneca Zafirlukast Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Zafirlukast is a selective and competitive receptor antagonist of leukotriene D4 and E4 (LTD4 and LTE4), components of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRSA). Cysteinyl leukotriene production and receptor occupation have been correlated with the pathophysiology of asthma, including airway edema, smooth muscle constriction, and altered cellular activity associated with the inflammatory process, which contribute to the signs and symptoms of…

AZMACORT® Rhône-Poulenc Rorer Triamcinolone Acetonide Corticosteroid Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Triamcinolone is a potent anti-inflammatory steroid with strong topical and weak systemic activity. When inhaled at therapeutic dosages, it has a direct anti-inflammatory action on the bronchial mucosa. Since the minute amounts absorbed do not exert any significant systemic effect, inhaled triamcinolone can replace oral steroids with the elimination of the untoward effects of systemic therapy. Indications And Clinical Uses:…
