The Pharmacology Of Rodenticides, S. A. Peoples

Proceedings of the 4th Vertebrate Pest Conference (1970)

The compounds used as rodenticides are tremendously varied in their chemical structure and mechanism of action. With a few exceptions, these agents are generally poisonous to all animals, including man, and a great deal of study has been directed to their toxicity in animals other than rodents. However, the development of new compounds as Norbormide and certain antifertility drugs which are highly selective in their action may justify the hope that the ideal rodenticide free of secondary toxic hazards will soon be available. Until this happy announcement is made, a review of the pharmacology of the older compounds is in …

Interactions Of Sodium Ethacrynate In Intravenous Admixture With Selected Cardiovascular And Psychotherapeutic Agents, Patrick N. Catania

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The possibility of drug incompatibilities is a matter of serious concern when administering two or more therapeutic agents. This is especially true in the case of parenteral administration when one must be aware not only of therapeutic interactions but also chemical and physical reactions that might occur.

In order to avoid incompatibilities, drug manufacturers have suggested that parenteral solutions be used immediately after reconstitution and that admixtures of parenteral products not be administered wherever possible (1,2). Physicians have also stressed the importance in avoiding multiple drug therapy (3,4). In spite of these suggestions, the practice of multiple drug therapy is …

Differential Spectrophotometric Analysis Of Intravenous Admixtures Containing Metaraminol With Selected Corticosteroids, Frederick Erin Turner

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Intravenous admixtures consisting of one or more drug formulations, diluted in a large volume of intravenous solution, are used extensively in current medical practice. Development of reliable methods to predict the compatibility of the admixture components is essential as a guide for their selection.

Because the majority of the reports published, to date, have used a visible change as the criterion for judging compatibility, it was the purpose of this study to demonstrate the use of spectrophotometric analysis to detect the occurrence of chemical interactions between two components of an intravenous admixture.

1970 Apothecary, Southwestern Oklahoma State University

Apothecary

The end of the academic year heralds the arrival of the 1970 APOTHECARY. It has been a fast-paced, hectic time for all. For some, this ends the formal pharmacy curriculum and thus many new situations lie ahead. The 1970 APOTHECARY would like to take this opportunity to wish all the Seniors the best of luck in the future and hearty congratulations on their achievements.

We are very proud of this edition of the APOTHECARY and we want to thank everyone involved in its completion. Certainly, the most "credit" goes to Dr. Ulrich, faculty sponsor. He made most of the …
