BUTAMBEN

 BUTAMBEN


BRAND NAME:- CETACAINE 


BUTAMBEN is local anesthesia of mucus membranes other than the eyes. 


PHARMACODYNAMIC:-
Butamben has been shown to selectively inhibit dorsal root pain signal transmission for periods of months when administered as epidural suspensions.1 The effect of butamben is not related to any significant loss of motor function which indicates that it targets specifically the pain-sensing C fibers of the dorsal root.3 When administered topically, butamben produced anesthesia by accumulating in the nerve cell membrane causing it to expand and lose its ability .

MECHANISM OF ACTION:-
Butamben acts by inhibiting the voltage-gated calcium channels in dorsal root ganglion neurons.2 The modification in this channels is thought to cause a disturbance of the channel kinetics acceleration.1 It is reported as well that butamben is an inhibitor of the sodium channels and a delayed rectifier of potassium currents. All the effects of butamben are performed in the root ganglion neurons which suggests that the related anesthetic effect may be caused by the reduced electrical excitability. 

USED:-

They are used as lozenges for stomatitis,sore throat; as dusting powder/ointment on wounds/ulcerated surface and as suppository for anorectal lesions.


SIDE EFFECTS:-
.Signs of an allergic reaction, like rash; hives; itching; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin with or without fever; wheezing; tightness in the chest or throat; trouble breathing, swallowing, or talking; unusual hoarseness; or swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Chlorthalidone Uses, Side Effects, and More....

 Chlorthalidone  Brand name:- Hythalton 50,100mg , Hydrazide, Thalizide ( 12.5, 25) . Chlorthalidone is a diuretic which lowers blood pressure by removing extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Pharmacodynamic:- Not 🚫 available.  Pharmacokinetics:- Chlortalidone is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral ingestion. It has a long half-life and therefore a prolonged diuretic action, which results in continued diuretic effects despite a skipped dose. This prolonged action of chlortalidone despite missing doses may account for the higher efficacy of chlortalidone compared to the shorter half-life medication, hydrochlorothiazide. Chlortalidone is eliminated from the body mostly by the kidney, as unchanged drug. Thus, in persons with diminished kidney function, the clearance of chlortalidone is reduced and the elimination half-life is increased. As with other thiazide diuretics, ch...

Chlordiazepoxide Uses, Side Effects, and More

 Chlordiazepoxide Brand name:- Librium 10, 25 mg tabs; Equilibrium 10mg tab. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger (GABA) which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. Pharmacodynamic:-  Chlordiazepoxide has antianxiety, sedative, appetite-stimulating and weak analgesic actions. The drug seems to block EEG arousal from stimulation in the brain stem reticular formation. The drug has been studied extensively in many species of animals and these studies are suggestive of action on the limbic system of the brain, which recent evidence indicates is involved in emotional responses. Hostile monkeys were made tame by oral drug doses which did not cause sedation. Chlordiazepoxide revealed a "taming" action with the elimination of fear and aggression. The taming effect of chlordiazepoxide was further demonstrated in rats made vicious by lesions in the septal area of the brain. The drug dos...
