This causes prolonged stimulation and desensitization of neuroreceptors, causing skeletal muscle relaxation effects such as paralysis. [1] Depolarizing neuromuscular blockers, notably succinylcholine, tend to be preferred over non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers due to their long-acting and rapid-onset properties.
Benzodiazepines, like many other sedative hypnotic drugs, cause apoptotic neuronal cell death. However, benzodiazepines do not cause as severe apoptosis to the developing brain as alcohol does. [105] [106] [107] The prenatal toxicity of benzodiazepines is most likely due to their effects on neurotransmitter systems, cell membranes and protein ...

Drug-induced amnesia is amnesia caused by drugs. Amnesia may be therapeutic for medical treatment or for medical procedures, or it may be a side-effect of a drug, such as alcohol, or certain medications for psychiatric disorders, such as benzodiazepines. [1] It is seen also with slow acting parenteral general anaesthetics. [citation needed]
One large study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that men who took sildenafil or medications in the same class of drugs had a lowered risk of several heart events, including heart ...
Flaccid paralysis resulting from cholinergic crisis can be distinguished from myasthenia gravis by the use of the drug edrophonium (Tensilon), as it only worsens the paralysis caused by cholinergic crisis but strengthens the muscle response in the case of myasthenia gravis. Edrophonium is a cholinesterase inhibitor, hence it increases the ...
Medications for gastroparesis aim to manage symptoms and may include what are called prokinetic agents. These work by inducing stomach contractions to move food through your digestive tract.
In the book, author and neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi, Ph.D., director of the Weill Cornell Women’s Brain Initiative, notes that more than 60% of women have brain fog at some point during ...
