The drug reaches peak concentration in about 2 hours and has a half-life in healthy adults of about 2–3 hours. [11] [9] [12] Zolpidem's half life is decreased in children and increased in the elderly and people with liver issues. While some studies show men metabolize zolpidem faster than women (possibly due to testosterone), [58] others do ...
Sanofi quoted Houman Ashrafian, its head of research and development, as saying that it "represents an unprecedented breakthrough as a potential first-in-disease treatment option with clinically ...
However drawbacks to this exist as well. Once the drug is in the brain there is a point where it needs to be degraded to prevent overdose to the brain tissue. Also if the drug cannot pass back through the blood–brain barrier, it compounds the issues of dosage and intense monitoring would be required. For this to be effective there must be a ...
-The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday it has approved the use of a drug combination along with Sanofi's Sarclisa infusion as a treatment for certain types of newly diagnosed ...
