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…

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…

BENZODIAZEPINES Alprazolam Bromazepam Chlordiazepoxide Clobazam Clonazepam Clorazepate Diazepam Flurazepam Lorazepam Midazolam Nitrazepam Oxazepam Temazepam Triazolam Anticonvulsant – Anxiolytic – Hypnotic – Sedative Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Benzodiazepines are glycoproteins with an affinity for benzodiazepine receptors which act as specific binding sites for gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS. Although various mechanisms of action have been proposed, the precise sites and mechanisms of action have not…
