Aluminium carbonate (Al 2 (CO 3) 3), is a carbonate of aluminium.It is not well characterized; one authority says that simple carbonates of aluminium are not known. [2] However related compounds are known, such as the basic sodium aluminium carbonate mineral dawsonite (NaAlCO 3 (OH) 2) and hydrated basic aluminium carbonate minerals scarbroite (Al 5 (CO 3)(OH) 13 •5(H 2 O)) and ...
An equianalgesic chart can be a useful tool, but the user must take care to correct for all relevant variables such as route of administration, cross tolerance, half-life and the bioavailability of a drug. [5] For example, the narcotic levorphanol is 4–8 times stronger than morphine, but also has a much longer half-life. Simply switching the ...

A vaccine dose contains many ingredients (such as stabilizers, adjuvants, residual inactivating ingredients, residual cell culture materials, residual antibiotics and preservatives) very little of which is the active ingredient, the immunogen. A single dose may have merely nanograms of virus particles, or micrograms of bacterial polysaccharides.
Ciprofloxacin should not be taken with antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, highly buffered drugs (sevelamer, lanthanum carbonate, sucralfate, didanosine), or with supplements containing calcium, iron, or zinc. It should be taken two hours before or six hours after these products.
