mechanism:
None (32) ·
Humanized IgG2 monoclonal antibody binding both isoforms of CGRP peptide (1) ·
Humanized IgG2 monoclonal antibody binding the CGRP receptor (not the peptide); blocks CGRP-mediated vasodilation and nociceptive signaling (1) ·
Humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody binding CGRP peptide; prevents CGRP from activating its receptor (1) ·
Tropane alkaloids: hyoscyamine (dominant; the racemic form is atropine), scopolamine. Competitive muscarinic antagonism. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-0000001D-QINU`"' Major Beers-list concern in elderly patients for cognitive and fall risks. CYP2D6 substrate. At massive overdose, also produces sodium channel blockade with cardiac toxicity'"`UNIQ--ref-0000001E-QINU`"'.
'"`UNIQ--effect-0000001F-QINU`"' (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000037-QINU`"' Hypertonic 3% is the standard urgent treatment of severely symptomatic hyponatremia'"`UNIQ--ref-00000038-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000584-QINU`"' Binds the same insulin receptor as endogenous insulin with comparable mitogenic-to-metabolic ratio. Ultra-rapid formulations (Lyumjev) add treprostinil and citrate to accelerate absorption further'"`UNIQ--ref-00000585-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000008BE-QINU`"' Preferred over prednisone in advanced hepatic dysfunction where hepatic 11β-HSD1 activation is impaired. Liquid formulations are the workhorse pediatric oral corticosteroid for asthma and croup'"`UNIQ--ref-000008BF-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000009FD-QINU`"' Active against gram-positive cocci including MRSA; the unique target underlies the absence of cross-resistance with other antibiotic classes. High-level resistance (plasmid-mediated mupA) is rising and limits prolonged or repeated use'"`UNIQ--ref-000009FE-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000D11-QINU`"' Same mechanistic family as amphotericin B but with prohibitive systemic toxicity at therapeutic doses, hence restriction to topical and luminal-gut indications. No clinically meaningful resistance after decades of use'"`UNIQ--ref-00000D12-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00001014-QINU`"' Activates the glucocorticoid receptor to broadly remodel inflammatory, immune, and metabolic transcription. The dipropionate, valerate, and augmented dipropionate ester forms determine topical potency (high to super-high)'"`UNIQ--ref-00001015-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000010F8-QINU`"' Pre-treatment screening for latent TB (PPD or IGRA) and chronic hepatitis B is standard. Anti-drug antibody formation is a recognized cause of secondary loss of response'"`UNIQ--ref-000010F9-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00001233-QINU`"' Onychomycosis cure rates with nail lacquer are modest (mycologic cure ~30-50%, complete cure ~5-12% at 48 weeks); oral terbinafine remains substantially more effective when systemic therapy is acceptable'"`UNIQ--ref-00001234-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000014BC-QINU`"' Topical ophthalmic and otic formulations remain widely used in ENT and ophthalmology. Subject to all fluoroquinolone-class restrictions (tendinitis/rupture, peripheral neuropathy, QT prolongation)'"`UNIQ--ref-000014BD-QINU`"'. (1)
