STIEVAMYCIN® Preparations Stiefel Erythromycin–Tretinoin Topical Acne Therapy Action and Clinical Tretinoin: The precise mechanism of action of tretinoin on the skin is not fully understood. It is known that tretinoin is both pharmacologically and structurally related to vitamin A which regulates epithelial cell growth and differentiation. Tretinoin itself is known to have an irritant and keratolytic effect on the skin. These two actions which occur simultaneously have been shown histologically…

STILAMIN® Serono Somatostatin Treatment of Acute Variceal Bleeding Action and Clinical Somatostatin is a synthetic cyclic 14 amino acid peptide (identical in structure and activity to naturally occurring somatostatin) which decreases splanchnic blood flow and portal venous pressure in man, possibly through a direct action on the unstriated muscle cells mediated by a calcium-dependent mechanism. In anesthetized healthy volunteers, somatostatin–dosed as a 250 g i.v. bolus followed by a 250…

STEMETIL® Rhône-Poulenc Rorer Prochlorperazine Antipsychotic–Antiemetic Action and Clinical Prochlorperazine is a piperazine phenothiazine derivative with antipsychotic, antiemetic and weak sedative activity. Prochlorperazine has actions similar to those of other phenothiazine derivatives but appears to be less sedating and to have a weak propensity for causing hypotension or potentiating the effects of CNS depressants and anesthetics. However, it produces a high incidence of extrapyramidal reactions. Prochlorperazine is well absorbed from the…

STELAZINE® SmithKline Beecham Trifluoperazine HCl Antianxiety–Antiemetic–Antipsychotic Action and Clinical The mode of action of the phenothiazines has not yet been definitely established. Existing information suggests the following possibilities: Antipsychotic/antianxiety effects: Observations suggest that the primary action is to depress the physiologic accompaniments of the emotional factors of the personality which are believed to be basically evoked by the limbic system and its connections with the hypothalamus. Experimental and clinical evidence…

STADOL NS™ Bristol-Myers Squibb Butorphanol Tartrate Analgesic Action and Clinical Butorphanol acts as an agonist at kappa-opioid receptors and a mixed agonist-antagonist at mu-opioid receptors in the CNS to alter the perception of pain. The drug is believed to act at sites in the periventricular and periaqueductal gray matter, and at sites in the spinal cord.: In an animal model, the dose of butorphanol required to antagonize morphine analgesia by…

Composition: Isopropamide is an inherently long-acting synthetic anticholinergic agent that provides 12-hour antisecretory-antispasmodic activity. Trifluoperazine is a piperazine phenothiazine derivative with antipsychotic and antiemetic properties. The mode of action of phenothiazines has not been definitely established. Like most phenothiazines, trifluoperazine possesses weak anticholinergic and possibly alpha-adrenergic blocking activities. Indications And Clinical Uses: Stelabid may be employed to advantage in the treatment of a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, including such…

SSD™ Knoll Silver Sulfadiazine Topical Antibacterial Action and Clinical The mechanism of silver sulfadiazine’s antimicrobial action has not been fully elucidated. The dominant manifestation of the reaction of silver sulfadiazine with sensitive organisms may result from the displacement of hydrogen bonds within the bacterial DNA. Once these bonds that serve to connect the 2 strands of the DNA double helix are displaced, bacterial replication and cell viability are effectively reduced….
