Gemcitabine Hydrochloride; Indications, Contraindications
Gemcitabine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of an analog of the antimetabolite nucleoside deoxycytidine with antineoplastic activity. Gemcitabine is converted intracellularly to the active metabolites difluorodeoxycytidine di- and triphosphate (dFdCDP, dFdCTP). dFdCDP inhibits ribonucleotide reductase, thereby decreasing the deoxynucleotide pool available for DNA synthesis; dFdCTP is incorporated into DNA, resulting in DNA Read More …

Fulvestrant; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions
Fulvestrant is a synthetic estrogen receptor antagonist. Unlike tamoxifen (which has partial agonist effects) and the aromatase inhibitors (which reduce the estrogen available to tumor cells), fulvestrant binds competitively to estrogen receptors in breast cancer cells, resulting in estrogen receptor deformation and decreased estrogen binding. Read More …
Toremifene; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions
Toremifene is a first generation selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Like TAMOXIFEN, it is an estrogen agonist for bone tissue and cholesterol metabolism but is antagonistic on mammary and uterine tissue. Toremifene is an Estrogen Agonist/Antagonist. The mechanism of action Read More …
Fluorouracil; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Drug Interactions
Fluorouracil is an antimetabolite fluoropyrimidine analog of the nucleoside pyrimidine with antineoplastic activity. Fluorouracil and its metabolites possess a number of different mechanisms of action. In vivo, fluoruracil is converted to the active metabolite 5-fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate (F-UMP); replacing uracil, F-UMP incorporates into RNA and inhibits RNA processing, thereby inhibiting cell Read More …
Dyspepsia; Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Dyspepsia is a condition of impaired digestion. Symptoms may include upper abdominal fullness, heartburn, nausea, belching, or upper abdominal pain. People may also experience feeling full earlier than expected when eating. Dyspepsia is a common problem and is frequently caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or gastritis. In a small minority of Read More …
Everolimus; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions
Everolimus is a Kinase Inhibitor and mTOR Inhibitor Immunosuppressant. The mechanism of action of everolimus is as a Protein Kinase Inhibitor and Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inhibitor and P-Glycoprotein Inhibitor and Cytochrome P450 2D6 Inhibitor and mTOR Inhibitor. The physiologic effect of everolimus is by means Read More …
Eribulin Mesylate; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions
Eribulin Mesylate is the mesylate salt of a synthetic analog of halichondrin B, a substance derived from a marine sponge (Lissodendoryx sp.) with antineoplastic activity. Eribulin binds to the vinca domain of tubulin and inhibits the polymerization of tubulin and the assembly of microtubules, Read More …
