Medication action

The published literature on the biological and medical actions of ansamycins is too vast to be dealt with at length in this article. Several reviews have appeared, however, dealing with the rifamycins51 53 ... 

The term diagnosis includes the nosological and systematic designation of a clinical picture and the sum total of the results, which provide a basis for medical action and therapeutic success. 

A medication action occurs between the medication molecules and molecules in the body, resulting in alteration of the body s physiological process. There are three ways medication alters the body s physiological... 

A medication action begins when the medication attaches to the receptor site (see Pharmacokinetics), resulting in the medication s therapeutic effect. 

Dose The dose is how much of the medication is administered to the patient—the higher the dose, the stronger the medication action. 

Frequency This is the number of times that medication is administered to the patient. An increased frequency usually strengthens the medication action. 

Alteration in thought processes related to medication action. The patient s normal thought process is interrupted when the patient is administered barbiturates, sedatives, and mood-altering medication. 

Constipation related to medication action or side effect. Intestinal movement is reduced when opioids such as morphine sulfate are administered to the patient. 

Recognizing toxic symptoms is imperative for immediate medical action to be taken. However, toxic medicinal plants are sold by herbalists with only a general knowledge of toxic effects and symptoms based on patient observation (75). In South Africa, eight patients were admitted to the intensive care unit after admitting to consulting a traditional healer 48 hours before. Six out of the eight patients died (64). 

General Remarks BZ, also known as (1) QNB, (2) 3-quinuclidyl benzilate, and (3) benzilic acid, 3-quinuclidinyl ester, is a synthetic glycolic ester. Its medical action is as a competitive muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist, that is, an incapacitating agent. Like other such agents, its purpose is to produce temporary disability, not death (Wiener and Nelson, 2004). Indeed, the onset of symptoms may not appear until several hours after exposure. 

Schmiedeberg formulated a series of rules regarding the effect of alkyl groups on physiological activity, which May summarizes as follows. In the first place, a close connection exists between medical action and the ordinary physical properties of volatility and solubility. In the aUphatic paraffin series, the lower members, which are more volatile, exhibit a narcotic effect that is absent in the insoluble, nonvolatile higher members. 

Considering that oxoisoaporphine (7/f-dibenzo[rfe,/ ]quinolin-7-one ) have obtained the interest for its versatility in the synthesis of new derivatives in diverse medical action fields as its use in such parasitic diseases like Malaria [25] or Leishmania [26], the study of behavioral diseases as depression through compoimds that inhibit the human monoamino oxidase A (hMAO-A) or to reverse the depressed state in reserpinized animal testing, has been the first impulse to compile references of this type of alkaloid in the therapeutic scope under the observation of the neoplastic and psychiatric diseases. 

Rectal solutions, emulsions and suspensions are liquid preparations intended for rectal use in order to obtain a systemic or local effect, or they may be intended for diagnostic purposes. Rectal solutions, emulsions and suspensions are supplied in single-dose containers and contain one or more active substances dissolved or dispersed in water, glycerol or macrogols or other suitable solvents. Rectal solutions, emulsions and suspensions may contain excipients, for example to adjust the viscosity of the preparation, to adjust or stabilise the pH, to increase the solubility of the active substance(s) or to stabilise the preparation. These substances do not adversely affect the intended medical action or, at the concentrations used, cause undue local irritation (Ph. Etur.).
