(Pharmaceutical)Fucidin (Fusidic Acid)
(Pharmaceutical)FUCIDIN® Cream FUCIDIN® Ointment FUCIDIN® Intertulle Leo Fusidic Acid Sodium Fusidate Antibiotic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Fusidic acid inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by interfering with amino acid transfer from aminoacyl-sRNA to protein on the ribosomes.

Although bacterial cells stop dividing almost within 2 minutes after contact with the antibiotic in vitro, DNA and RNA synthesis continue for 45 minutes…
Frisium (Clobazam)
(Pharmaceutical)FRISIUM® Hoechst Marion Roussel Clobazam Anticonvulsant for Adjunctive Therapy Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Clobazam is a 1,5-benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant properties. In general, the mode of antiepileptic action of clobazam is probably largely analogous to that of the 1,4-benzodiazepines . The differences between clobazam (a 1,5-benzodiazepine) and the 1,4-benzodiazepines in terms of therapeutic efficacy and neurotoxicity are possibly due to the variation in degree of the agonist action at the high…
Fortaz (Ceftazidime Pentahydrate)
(Pharmaceutical)FORTAZ® Glaxo Wellcome Ceftazidime Pentahydrate Antibiotic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: In vitro studies indicate that the bactericidal action of ceftazidime, a semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic, results from inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Ceftazidime has a high affinity for the Penicillin-Binding Protein-3 (PBP-3) and moderate affinity for the PBP-1a of certain gram-negative organisms such as E. coli and P. aeruginosa. The affinity for PBP-1b is much less than that for either…

Folic Acid (Folate Sodium)
(Pharmaceutical)FOLIC ACID * General Monograph, Pteroylglutamic Acid Folate Sodium Anemia Therapy Pharmacology: Folic acid is a B complex vitamin. After absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, folic acid is hepatically converted to tetrahydrofolic acid which is a cofactor in the biosynthesis of purines and thymidylates of nucleic acids. An exogenous source of folic acid is necessary for the maintenance of normal erythropoiesis. Folic acid deficiency can lead to meagloblastic and macrocytic…

Forane (Isoflurane)
(Pharmaceutical)FORANE® Zeneca Isoflurane Inhalation Anesthetic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Isoflurane is an inhalation anesthetic whose low solubility (blood/gas partition coefficient equals 1.4), permits a rapid induction of and recovery from anesthesia. The mild pungency of isoflurane may limit the rate of induction, although excessive salivation or tracheobronchial secretions do not appear to be stimulated. The level of anesthesia may be changed rapidly with isoflurane. Pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes are readily…
