SYMMETREL® (Antiparkinson) DuPont Pharma Amantadine HCl Antiparkinson Action and Clinical While the mechanism of action of amantadine in the treatment of Parkinson’s syndrome and drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions is not known, it is believed to release brain dopamine from nerve endings making it more available to activate dopaminergic receptors. The drug does not possess anticholinergic activity in animal tests at doses similar to those used clinically. The antiviral activity of amantadine…

SURVANTA® Abbott Beractant Lung Surfactant Action and Clinical Deficiency of pulmonary surfactant is an important factor in the development of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. Beractant replenishes surfactant and restores surface activity to the lungs of these infants. It reduces surface tension and concomitantly increases lung compliance.: Intratracheally administered beractant distributes rapidly to the alveolar surfaces and stabilizes the alveoli against collapse during respiration thereby increasing alveolar ventilation….

SULTRIN® Janssen-Ortho Triple Sulfa Vaginitis Therapy Indications And Clinical Uses: Postoperative vaginitis or cervicitis, nonspecific vaginitis, ulcerative vaginitis and related gynecological conditions. Contra-Indications: Sulfonamide sensitivity; kidney disease. Precautions: Although some absorption of sulfonamide may occur through the vaginal mucosa, systemic reactions attributable to this are infrequent, as are local sensitivity reactions such as increased discomfort or a burning sensation following the use of this product. However, as with all sulfonamides,…

SUPRAX® Rhône-Poulenc Rorer Cefixime Antibiotic Action and Clinical Pharmacology: Cefixime exerts its bactericidal effect by attaching to penicillin-binding proteins and inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis, thus causing damage to the bacterial cell wall.: Pharmacokinetics: Following oral dosing, cefixime attains peak serum levels in approximately 4 hours. The half-life is about 3 to 4 hours and is not dose dependent. Cefixime is excreted by renal and biliary mechanisms. About 50% of the absorbed dose is excreted…

SUPRANE® AstraZeneca Desflurane Inhalation Anesthetic Action and Clinical Pharmacology: Desflurane is a volatile inhalational anesthetic whose low solubility (blood/gas partition coefficient equals 0.42) permits rapid variation in anesthetic depth. If anesthesia is maintained with inflow rates of greater than 2 L/min, the alveolar concentration is usually within 10% of the inspired concentration. It is not necessary to deliver concentrations of desflurane far in excess of the desired end-tidal concentration (“overpressurization”…

SUFENTA® Janssen-Ortho Sufentanil Citrate Opioid Analgesic-Adjunct to Anesthesia Action and Clinical Pharmacology: Sufentanil is an opioid analgesic. The analgesic potency of sufentanil is approximately 5 to 7 times that of fentanyl. Dosage requirements for equianalgesic effect will be 1/5 to  1/7 those of fentanyl on a g/kg basis. Assays of histamine in patients administered sufentanil have shown no elevation in plasma histamine levels and no indication of histamine release. I.V….
