A steady-state plasma level of dofetilide is achieved in 2–3 days. 80% of dofetilide is excreted by the kidneys, so the dose of dofetilide should be adjusted in individuals with chronic kidney disease, based on creatinine clearance. In the kidneys, dofetilide is eliminated via cation exchange (secretion).
Mexiletine (sold under the brand names Mexitil and Namuscla) is a medication used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, chronic pain, and some causes of muscle stiffness. Common side effects include abdominal pain, chest discomfort, drowsiness, headache, and nausea.
Gabapentin, sold under the brand name Neurontin among others, is an anticonvulsant medication primarily used to treat neuropathic pain and also for partial seizures [10] [7] of epilepsy. It is a commonly used medication for the treatment of neuropathic pain caused by diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and central pain. [11]
Gabapentin enacarbil has passed human clinical trials for the treatment of restless legs syndrome, and initial results have shown it to be well tolerated and reasonably effective. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Gabapentin enacarbil was denied approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2010, citing concerns about possible increased ...
The endogenous α-amino acids L-leucine and L-isoleucine, which resemble the gabapentinoids in chemical structure (see figure) are ligands of the α 2 δ VDCC subunit with similar affinity as gabapentin and pregabalin (e.g., IC 50 = 71 nM for L-isoleucine), and are present in human cerebrospinal fluid at micromolar concentrations (e.g., 12.9 ...
Bictegravir should not be used with dofetilide and rifampin. [16] Use of dofetilide with bictegravir increases the concentration of dofetilide, which can lead to life-threatening events. [ 16 ] Concomitant use of bictegravir and rifampin causes significant interactions because of an effect rifampin has on bictegravir. [ 16 ]
Prominent computer scientist Fei-Fei Li is building a startup that uses human-like processing of visual data to make artificial intelligence (AI) capable of advanced reasoning, six sources told ...
Scholars have traditionally divided uses of animals, [1] plants, [2] and other living things into two categories: practical use for food [3] and other resources; and symbolic use such as in art [4] and religion. [5]
