Polypharmacy versus Drug Combinations
Drug combinations have been known to be used either for increasing effcctivity or for decreasing side-efFects. It is only when multiple drugs are prescribed without adequate scientific evidence in their favour then such practices need careful scrutiny. Multiple drug use in psychiatry has recently gained currency and so require thoughtful consideration. The term polypharmacy is generally used to...
متن کاملSimultaneous diagnosis and drug delivery by silymarin-loaded magnetic nanoparticles
Objective(s): The aim of this work was to prepare and characterize magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as theranostic system to act simultaneously as drug carrier and MRI contrast agent. Chitosan-coated MNPs (CMNPs) were prepared and loaded with silymarin. Silymarin-loaded CMNPs were characterized with various techniques and their potential as MRI contrast agent was also evaluated. Materials and Meth...
متن کاملMycobacterium avium complex develop resistance to synergistically active drug combinations during infection.
Isolates of Mycobacterium avium complex from five patients on longterm (3-5 yrs) anti-mycobacterial drug treatment were collected during the early and late phase of disease, and studied in vitro for their susceptibility to anti-mycobacterial drugs and drug-combinations. All isolates were resistant or moderately resistant to ethambutol, rifampicin and streptomycin when given singly; however, all...
متن کاملWhat Does It Take to Synergistically Combine Sub-Potent Natural Products into Drug-Level Potent Combinations?
There have been renewed interests in natural products as drug discovery sources. In particular, natural product combinations have been extensively studied, clinically tested, and widely used in traditional, folk and alternative medicines. But opinions about their therapeutic efficacies vary from placebo to synergistic effects. The important questions are whether synergistic effects can sufficie...
متن کاملDrug interactions and lethal drug combinations.
Although the development of drugs of greater potency and efficacy confers on the physician increasing power to treat serious diseases, it also increases the number and seriousness of potential adverse effects and drug interactions which can occur. Most hospital patients receive more than one drug at a time, the average number often being greater than five (Smith, Seidl, and Cluff, 1966). The in...
