Specialty drugs or specialty pharmaceuticals are a recent designation of pharmaceuticals [ 1][ 2] classified as high-cost, [ 3][ 4][ 5] high complexity and/or high touch. [ 4] Specialty drugs are often biologics [ 3][ 6] —"drugs derived from living cells" [ 7] that are injectable or infused (although some are oral medications). [ 4]
All of these drugs inhibit the gastric H,K-ATPase by covalent binding, so the duration of their effect is longer than expected from their levels in the blood. [ 74 ] Targeting the terminal step in acid production, as well as the irreversible nature of the inhibition, results in a class of medications that are significantly more effective than H ...
It is conjugated in the kidney for excretion in the urine, where 75% of the drug is excreted, [113] and about 15% is eliminated in feces. [114]: 430 Desmethylmirtazapine is an active metabolite of mirtazapine which is believed to contribute about 3-10% to the drugs overall effects and has a half-life of about 25 hours. [6]
This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds.
An equianalgesic chart is a conversion chart that lists equivalent doses of analgesics (drugs used to relieve pain). Equianalgesic charts are used for calculation of an equivalent dose (a dose which would offer an equal amount of analgesia) between different analgesics. [ 1] Tables of this general type are also available for NSAIDs ...
In the United States a longer duty cycle is used, 50% for battery-powered buoys (20 seconds on, 20 seconds off) and 75% for on-shore beacons. Ramarks are wide-band beacons which transmit continuously on the radar bands without having to be triggered by an incoming radar signal. The transmission forms a line of Morse characters on the display ...
