TIMOLIDE® Merck Frosst Timolol Maleate-Hydrochlorothiazide Antihypertensive Action and Clinical Uses: Timolide combines the antihypertensive activity of 2 agents: a beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent (timolol maleate) and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent that does not have significant intrinsic sympathomimetic, direct myocardial depressant, or local anesthetic (membrane stabilizing) activity in humans. The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agents has not yet been…

TICLID® Roche Ticlopidine HCl Inhibitor of Platelet Function Action and Clinical Uses: Ticlopidine is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation. It causes a time and dose-dependent inhibition of platelet aggregation and release of platelet factors, as well as a prolongation of bleeding time. The drug has no significant in vitro activity. The exact mechanism of action is not fully characterized, but does not involve inhibition of the prostacyclin/thromboxane pathways or platelet…

TILADE® Rh´ne-Poulenc Rorer Nedocromil Sodium Bronchial Anti-inflammatory Agent Action and Clinical Uses: Nedocromil sodium is a new chemical entity that inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators from a variety of cell types occurring in the lumen and in the mucosa of the bronchial tree. When it is administered topically to the bronchi, it displays specific anti-inflammatory properties. Laboratory experiments have shown that nedocromil sodium prevents the release of inflammatory chemotactic…

THYRO-BLOCK® Carter Horner Potassium Iodide Thyroid Blocking Agent Action and Clinical Uses: Potassium iodide, an ionic thyroid blocking agent, acts on the transport of iodide into and out of the thyroid. When given in sufficient amounts, entry of radioiodide into the gland can be virtually prevented. The onset of inhibition is rapid and is readily demonstrated 30 minutes after oral administration. An important factor in obtaining satisfactory acute block of…

THROMBOSTAT™ Parke-Davis Thrombin (Bovine Origin) Topical Hemostatic Action and Clinical Uses: Thrombostat is a protein substance produced through a conversion reaction in which prothrombin of bovine origin is activated by tissue thromboplastin in the presence of calcium chloride.
