Phenylephrine, sold under the brand names Neosynephrine and Sudafed PE among others, is a medication used as a decongestant for uncomplicated nasal congestion in the form of a nasal spray or oral tablet, [5] to dilate the pupil, to increase blood pressure given intravenously in cases of low blood pressure, and to relieve hemorrhoids as a suppository.
Side effects often could not be unambiguously attributed to spironolactone due concomitant use of other medications, particularly birth control pills. Hyperkalemia was rare (14/469; 3.0%) and was "invariably mild and clinically insignificant". Risk of bias was high and quality of evidence was low to very low. Sources: See template.
Avalglucosidase alfa is composed of the human GAA enzyme that is conjugated with a couple of bis-mannose-6-phosphate (bis-M6P) tetra-mannose glycans. [12] The bis-MGP of avalglucosidase alpha binds to the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor which is located on the skeletal muscles. [12]
Common side effects include dizziness, headache, insomnia, nausea, blurry vision, and sexual problems. [9] [6] Other side effects may include feeling lightheaded with standing due to changes in blood pressure, and angioedema. [9] Tamsulosin is an alpha blocker and works by relaxing muscles in the prostate. [10]
Alglucosidase alfa, sold under the brand name Myozyme among others, is an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) orphan drug for treatment of Pompe disease (Glycogen storage disease type II), a rare lysosomal storage disorder (LSD). [6] Chemically, the drug is an analog of the enzyme that is deficient in patients affected by Pompe disease, alpha ...
Midodrine is a prodrug which forms the active metabolite, desglymidodrine, which is an α 1-adrenergic receptor agonist and exerts its actions via activation of α 1-adrenergic receptors of the arteriolar and venous vasculature, producing an increase in vascular tone and elevation of blood pressure.
Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) also known as hematopoietin 1 is a cytokine of the interleukin 1 family that in humans is encoded by the IL1A gene. [5] [6] In general, Interleukin 1 is responsible for the production of inflammation, as well as the promotion of fever and sepsis. IL-1α inhibitors are being developed to interrupt those processes ...
Alfacalcidol (or 1-hydroxycholecalciferol) is an analogue of vitamin D used for supplementation in humans and as a poultry feed additive.. Alfacalcidol has a weaker impact on calcium metabolism [3] and parathyroid hormone levels [4] than calcitriol; but significant effects on the immune system, including regulatory T cells. [5]
