An equianalgesic chart is a conversion chart that lists equivalent doses of analgesics (drugs used to relieve pain). Equianalgesic charts are used for calculation of an equivalent dose (a dose which would offer an equal amount of analgesia) between different analgesics. [1]
2–10 mg/wk or 5–20 mg every 2 wks Estradiol cypionate: Depo-Estradiol: Estrogen: IM, SC: 2–10 mg/wk or 5–20 mg every 2 wks Estradiol dipropionate: Agofollin: Estrogen: IM, SC: 2–10 mg/wk or 5–20 mg every 2 wks Estradiol benzoate: Progynon-B: Estrogen: IM, SC: 0.5–1.5 mg every 2–3 days Estriol: Ovestin [c] Estrogen: Oral: 4–6 ...
Cyproheptadine has been reported to block 85% of 5-HT 2 receptors in the human brain at a dose of 4 mg three times per day (12 mg/day total) and to block 95% of 5-HT 2 receptors in the human brain at a dose of 6 mg three times per day (18 mg/day total) as measured with positron emission tomography (PET).

Notes: (1) The smaller the K i or EC 50 value, the more avidly the drug binds to or activates the receptor. The higher the E max value, the more effectively the drug activates the receptor. (2) All values are for human receptors except for the 5-HT 2A and 5-HT 2C K i values, which are for the rat receptors. Refs: [47] [34] [33]
As is supported by the common practice of prescribing low-dose quetiapine and clozapine for PDP at doses too low to antagonize the D 2 receptor, but sufficiently high doses to inversely agonize the 5-HT 2A receptors. [30] Eight case reports have been reported in five papers on the use of mirtazapine in the treatment of hives as of 2017. [135]
Flunarizine is a selective calcium antagonist with moderate other actions including antihistamine, serotonin receptor blocking and dopamine D 2 blocking activity. Compared to other calcium channel blockers such as dihydropyridine derivatives, verapamil and diltiazem, flunarizine has low affinity to voltage-dependent calcium channels.
Hydrochlorothiazide, sold under the brand name Hydrodiuril among others, is a diuretic medication used to treat hypertension and swelling due to fluid build-up. [4] Other uses include treating diabetes insipidus and renal tubular acidosis and to decrease the risk of kidney stones in those with a high calcium level in the urine. [4]
More specifically, it is an antagonist/inverse agonist at most or all sites of the histamine H 1 receptor, serotonin 5-HT 1D, 5-HT 1F, 5-HT 2A, 5-HT 2B, 5-HT 2C, 5-HT 3, 5-HT 6, and 5-HT 7 receptors, and adrenergic α 1-and α 2-adrenergic receptors, and additionally a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
