Estradiol and norethisterone acetate (Activella, Amabelz) – 1 mg / 0.5 mg; 0.5 mg / 0.1 mg Ethinylestradiol and norethisterone acetate (FemHRT) – 25 μg / 0.5 mg Estradiol/progesterone (TX-001HR), a combination of estradiol and progesterone in oil-filled capsules, is currently pending approval.
The tables below contain a sample list of benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine analogs that are commonly prescribed, with their basic pharmacological characteristics, such as half-life and equivalent doses to other benzodiazepines, also listed, along with their trade names and primary uses.
In comparison studies, mCPP has approximately 10-fold selectivity for the human 5-HT 2C receptor over the human 5-HT 2A and 5-HT 2B receptors (K i = 3.4 nM vs. 32.1 and 28.8 nM). [11] It acts as a partial agonist of the human 5-HT 2A [ 47 ] and 5-HT 2C [ 48 ] receptors but as an antagonist of the human 5-HT 2B receptors.
Acute use (1–3 days) yields a potency about 1.5× stronger than that of morphine and chronic use (7 days+) yields a potency about 2.5 to 5× that of morphine. Similarly, the effect of tramadol increases after consecutive dosing due to the accumulation of its active metabolite and an increase of the oral bioavailability in chronic use.
Pills are thought to date back to around 1500 BC. [1] Earlier medical recipes, such as those from 4000 BC, were for liquid preparations rather than solids. [ 1 ] The first references to pills were found on papyruses in ancient Egypt and contained bread dough, honey, or grease.
Cyproterone acetate (CPA), sold alone under the brand name Androcur or with ethinylestradiol under the brand names Diane or Diane-35 among others, is an antiandrogen and progestin medication used in the treatment of androgen-dependent conditions such as acne, excessive body hair growth, early puberty, and prostate cancer, as a component of feminizing hormone therapy for transgender individuals ...
In terms of dosage equivalence, norethisterone and NETA are typically used at respective dosages of 0.35 mg/day and 0.6 mg/day as progestogen-only contraceptives, and at respective dosages of 0.5–1 mg/day and 1–1.5 mg/day in combination with ethinylestradiol in combined oral contraceptives. [8]
Desvenlafaxine is a synthetic form of the isolated major active metabolite of venlafaxine, and is categorized as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). When most normal metabolizers take venlafaxine, approximately 70% of the dose is metabolized into desvenlafaxine, so the effects of the two drugs are expected to be very similar. [18]
