mechanism:
None (1) ·
5-HT1A agonist, 5-HT2A antagonist, with weaker activity at D4 and other receptors. Net effect involves enhanced prefrontal dopaminergic/noradrenergic tone with decreased serotonergic inhibition of sexual desire. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000000B6-QINU`"' Active metabolite EXP3174 is ~10-40-fold more potent than the parent and accounts for most of the antihypertensive effect; CYP2C9 polymorphism affects conversion'"`UNIQ--ref-000000B7-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000391-QINU`"' Minimal CYP metabolism; mostly renally cleared unchanged. Cetirizine is the active racemate; levocetirizine is the active R-enantiomer marketed separately'"`UNIQ--ref-00000392-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-0000061E-QINU`"' Less reliably anticholinergic than first-generation H1s; minimal antiemetic effect. Desloratadine (Clarinex) is the active enantiomer-of-metabolite version marketed as a Rx alternative. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000762-QINU`"' Largely renally cleared, hence the eGFR-tiered dosing. Rare but well-documented signals: acute pancreatitis (uncertain causal contribution), severe joint pain, and bullous pemphigoid (class effect, especially in older Asian patients)'"`UNIQ--ref-00000763-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00001284-QINU`"' Systemic oral ketotifen (available outside US) has historical use for asthma adjunct therapy via the same dual mechanism, but oral use produces sedation and weight gain — the topical ophthalmic application largely avoids both'"`UNIQ--ref-00001285-QINU`"'. (1)
