PROFASI® HP Serono Chorionic Gonadotropin Gonadotropin Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Chorionic gonadotropin, extracted from the urine of pregnant women, is a water-soluble polypeptide hormone produced by the human placenta composed of an alpha and a beta sub-unit. The alpha sub-unit is essentially identical to the alpha sub-units of the human pituitary gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), as well as to the alpha sub-unit of human thyroid-stimulating hormone…

PROGRAF® Fujisawa Tacrolimus Immunosuppressant Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Tacrolimus is a macrolide immunosuppressant produced by Streptomyces tsukubaensis. Mechanism of Action: Tacrolimus prolongs the survival of the host and transplanted graft in animal transplant models of liver, kidney, heart, bone marrow, small bowel and pancreas, lung and trachea, skin, cornea and limb. Tacrolimus has been demonstrated to suppress some humoral immunity and, to a greater extent, cell-mediated reactions such as allograft…

OSMOVIST® Berlex Canada Iotrolan Dimeric Nonionic Radiographic Contrast Medium for Myelography Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Iotrolan is a dimeric, nonionic, hexaiodinated radiocontrast medium. The contrast-giving substance, iotrolan, is a dimer of triiodinated isophthalic acid derivatives, in which the firmly bound iodine absorbs the x-rays. Solutions of iotrolan are isotonic to plasma and cerebrospinal fluid at radiologically useful iodine levels. After intrathecal administration, iotrolan is absorbed from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into…

ORGARAN® Organon Danaparoid Sodium Antithrombotic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Danaparoid is a mixture of low molecular weight sulfated glycosaminoglycuronans derived from porcine intestinal mucosa. It consists of heparan sulfate with low affinity for antithrombin III (AT-III) (about 80%), heparan sulfate with high affinity for AT-III (about 4%), dermatan sulfate (8 to 16%) and chondroitin sulfate. Compared to heparin, danaparoid has a much higher anti-factor Xa/anti-IIa ratio (more than 20:1). Danaparoid…

OPTICROM® Allergan Sodium Cromoglycate Antiallergic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: In the immediate reaction (Type I), the union of antigen with reaginic antibody leads to the formation and release of mediators of the local anaphylactic reaction. The principal effect of sodium cromoglycate is its specific ability to stabilize the membrane of the mast cell and thus prevent the release of mediators of anaphylaxis. The action appears to be specific for reaginic…

OCUFLOX™ Allergan Ofloxacin Antibacterial Agent Action And Clinical Pharmacology: The primary mechanism of action of ofloxacin appears to be the specific inhibition of DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II). This enzyme is responsible for the negative supercoiling of bacterial DNA and consequently for its topological configuration, governing functions such as RNA transcription, protein synthesis, DNA replication and repair functions. Indications And Clinical Uses: For the treatment of conjunctivitis when caused by susceptible…

OCCLUSAL™ Medicis Salicylic Acid Verrucae Therapy Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Although the exact mode of action of salicylic acid in the treatment of warts is not known, its activity appears to be associated with its keratolytic action which results in mechanical removal of epidermal cells infected with wart viruses. Indications And Clinical Uses: In the treatment and removal of common warts and plantar warts. Contra-Indications: Occlusal should not be used…

OCCLUSAL™-HP Medicis Salicylic Acid Verrucae Therapy Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Although the exact mode of action of salicylic acid in the treatment of warts is not known, it activity appears to be associated with its keratolytic action which results in mechanical removal of epidermal cells infected with wart viruses. Indications And Clinical Uses: In the treatment and removal of common warts and plantar warts. Contra-Indications: Occlusal-HP should not be used…

NUTROPIN® NUTROPIN® AQ Roche Somatropin Growth Hormone Action And Clinical Pharmacology: General: Somatropin is a human growth hormone (hGH) produced by recombinant DNA technology. The amino acid sequence of the somatropin protein is identical to that of pituitary-derived human growth hormone. In vitro and in vivo preclinical testing, and clinical testing have demonstrated that somatropin is therapeutically equivalent to pituitary-derived human growth hormone in pharmacokinetics, in stimulation of linear growth…
