Gourmeds are chewable, natural chicken- or fish-flavored tablets that taste delicious and help mask the taste of the medication. For pets who have trouble swallowing larger pills… Tiny Tabs® deliver big. Some pets (like some people) simply can’t swallow a regular size pill. This can cause serious stress at pill-taking time. For these pets, we recommend Tiny Tabs pillable tablets. Smaller than a Tic-Tac®, Tiny Tabs help make pilling easier for your pets, and you. When no oral dosing option works… ask your veterinarian about Twist-a-Dose™. With the Twist-a-Dose transdermal gel applicator, you can apply medications directly to your pet’s ear with no mess and accurate dosing every time.

  • Bromocriptine Inhibits Pro-Opiomelanocortin Mrna and ACTH Precursor Secretion in Small Cell Lung Cancer Cell Lines
    Bromocriptine inhibits pro-opiomelanocortin mRNA and ACTH precursor secretion in small cell lung cancer cell lines. W E Farrell, … , S R Crosby, A White J Clin Invest. 1992;90(3):705-710. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI115941. Research Article We have previously reported that a human small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line (COR L103) that expresses the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene and secretes ACTH precursor peptides is relatively resistant to glucocorticoid regulation. Using this model, we have now examined alternative regulatory mechanisms of the POMC gene and found that both the mRNA and ACTH precursor peptides were stimulated four- and two-fold, respectively, after 48 h incubation with db-cAMP. Next, we examined the dopamine agonist, bromocriptine, which acts predominantly through D2 receptors linked to adenyl cyclase to cause a reduction in intracellular cAMP. Bromocriptine suppressed cAMP levels and inhibited precursor peptide secretion within 24 h in a dose-dependent manner (0.15-15 microM). At the highest dose, peptide secretion was inhibited from 95 to 53 pmol/mg protein, and POMC mRNA was reduced by 50%, while beta-actin mRNA remained unchanged. This effect could not be mimicked by incubation of cells with the alpha-adrenergic antagonist, phenoxybenzamine, suggesting that the alpha-adrenergic effects of bromocriptine were not responsible for this observation. These cells also secrete estradiol, but the secretory rate was unaffected by bromocriptine, suggesting, with the beta-actin data, that the POMC inhibition was not a cytotoxic effect. No recovery in precursor peptide secretion was seen in a 48-h period after the removal of bromocriptine.

Inactive ingredients consist of D&C Red No. 14 33, FD&C Red No. 3, FD&C Yellow No. 6, Gelatin NF, Lactose NF, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate NF 15 and Silicon Dioxide NF. 16 17 Dibenzyline is N-(2-Chloroethyl)-N-(1-methyl-2-phenoxyethyl)benzylamine hydrochloride: 18 19 Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride is a colorless, crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 20 340.3, which melts between 136° and 141°C. It is soluble in water, alcohol and chloroform; 21 insoluble in ether. 22 23 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 24 Dibenzyline (phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride) is a long-acting, adrenergic, alpha-receptor­ 25 blocking agent, which can produce and maintain “chemical sympathectomy” by oral 26 administration. It increases blood flow to the skin, mucosa and abdominal viscera, and lowers 27 both supine and erect blood pressures. It has no effect on the parasympathetic system. 28 29 Twenty to 30 percent of orally administered phenoxybenzamine appears to be absorbed in the 30 active form.1 31 32 The half-life of orally administered phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride is not known; however, the 33 half-life of intravenously administered drug is approximately 24 hours. Demonstrable effects 34 with intravenous administration persist for at least 3 to 4 days, and the effects of daily 35 administration are cumulative for nearly a week.1 36 37 INDICATION AND USAGE 38 Dibenzyline is indicated in the treatment of pheochromocytoma, to control episodes of 39 hypertension and sweating.

    Updated June 07, 2021 Bulk Drug Substances Nominated for Use in Compounding Under Section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Three categories of bulk drug substances: • Category 1: Bulk Drug Substances Under Evaluation • Category 2: Bulk Drug Substances that Raise Significant Safety Risks • Category 3: Bulk Drug Substances Nominated Without Adequate Support Updates to Categories of Substances Nominated for the 503B Bulk Drug Substances List1 • Add the following entry to category 2 due to serious safety concerns of mutagenicity, cytotoxicity, and possible carcinogenicity when quinacrine hydrochloride is used for intrauterine administration for non- surgical female sterilization: 2,3 o Quinacrine Hydrochloride for intrauterine administration • Revision to category 1 for clarity: o Modify the entry for “Quinacrine Hydrochloride” to “Quinacrine Hydrochloride (except for intrauterine administration).” • Revision to category 1 to correct a substance name error: o Correct the error in the substance name “DHEA (dehydroepiandosterone)” to “DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone).” 1 For the purposes of the substance names in the categories, hydrated forms of the substance are included in the scope of the substance name. 2 Quinacrine HCl was previously reviewed in 2016 as part of FDA’s consideration of this bulk drug substance for inclusion on the 503A Bulks List. As part of this review, the Division of Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Products (DBRUP), now the Division of Urology, Obstetrics and Gynecology (DUOG), evaluated the nomination of quinacrine for intrauterine administration for non-surgical female sterilization and recommended that quinacrine should not be included on the 503A Bulks List for this use. This recommendation was based on the lack of information on efficacy comparable to other available methods of female sterilization and serious safety concerns of mutagenicity, cytotoxicity and possible carcinogenicity in use of quinacrine for this indication and route of administration.

I-I. VANDERWOLF,T. E. ROBINSON and B. A. PAPPAS Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, N6A 5C2 (Canada), ( T.E.R.) University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich. 48109 (U.S.A.) and ( B.A.P.) Carleton University, Ottawa, KI S 5B6 (Canada) (Accepted May 29th, 1980) Key words: reserpine -- monoamines -- motor activity -- atropine -- neocortical activity SUMMARY A large dose of reserpine abolishes an atropine-resistant form of neocortical low voltage fast activity (LVFA) which normally accompanies certain patterns of motor activity in rats. An attempt was made to reverse this effect by replacement of specific monoamines or by injection of suitable agonists in rats pretreated with reserpine (10 mg/kg). The following compounds, alone or in various combinations, failed to restore atropine-resistant LVFA in reserpinized rats even though spontane- ous motor activity was restored in many cases: L-DOPA (150--300 mg/kg) after pretreatment with an inhibitor of peripheral L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase; 5- hydroxytryptophan (100-200 mg/kg); D-amphetamine (1-2 mg/kg); apomorphine (0.25-2.5 mg/kg); lysergic acid diethylamide (100-300/~g/kg); and clonidine (0.5-1.0 mg/kg). In contrast fl-phenylethylamine was quite effective in restoring atropine- resistant LVFA and its effects were not diminished by pretreatment with a-methyl-p- tyrosine (400 mg/kg), chlorpromazine (15 mg/kg) or trifluoperazine (5-10 mg/kg).
