I found a package of pills that are oblong in shape that are white and blue, there is writing on it in chinese in red on the white side and on the blue side it says Antine I have looked everywhere to find out what this is, but am not able to find anything on it. The packageing appears to be something that one could by over the counter.

What does "across a lifespan" mean? My pharmacology book asks this about several drug? It's not asking for half-life. Thank you for any help ## Hi, Lolo! How are you? Usually, that refers to exactly what it sounds like, the use of any given medication across someone's life span. This can be an important factor to take under consideration, because many medications are metabolized differently by people of different ages. Some are absorbed much more readily in children and the elderly, so if possible, it can be best to avoid using those medications in anyone under 12 and over 65, because they may experience more severe side effects and complications from them. Gender is also another factor that has to be taken under consideration, when it comes to some medications. Is there...

Fludarabine is a purine analogue and antineoplastic agent. It is generally used as its 5-O-phosphorylated form known as fludarabine phosphate, sold under the brand name Fludara among others. It is a chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma.[1] These include chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and acute lymphocytic leukemia.[1] It is given by injection into a vein or by mouth.[1&a...

Intron A Interferon Alfa-2b

Interferon alfa-2b is an antiviral or antineoplastic drug. It is a recombinant form of the protein Interferon alpha-2 that was originally sequenced and produced recombinantly in E. coli[1] in the laboratory of Charles Weissmann at the University of Zurich, in 1980.[2][3] It was developed at Biogen, and ultimately marketed by Schering-Plough under the trade name Intron-A. It was also produced in 1986 in recombinant human form, in the Center for G...

Ontak Denileukin Deftitox

Denileukin diftitox (trade name Ontak) was an antineoplastic agent, an engineered protein combining interleukin-2 and diphtheria toxin. Denileukin diftitox could bind to interleukin-2 receptors[1] and introduce the diphtheria toxin into cells that express those receptors, killing the cells. In some leukemias and lymphomas, malignant cells express these receptors, so denileukin diftitox can target these. In 1999, Ontak was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (F...

Aptosyn Exisulind

Exisulind (tentative trade name Aptosyn) is an antineoplastic agent. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme cyclic guanosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase type 5 (EC 3.1.4.17).[1] It is the sulfone derivative of sulindac, an NSAID. Unlike sulindac, it has known effects on prostaglandin synthesis.[2] It was developed as the potential treatment of several conditions including familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), precancerous sporadic colonic polyps, cervical dysplas...

Amsidyl Amsacrine

Amsacrine (synonyms: m-AMSA, acridinyl anisidide) is an antineoplastic agent. It has been used in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.[1] Mechanism Its planar fused ring system can intercalate into the DNA of tumor cells, thereby altering the major and minor groove proportions. These alterations to DNA structure inhibit both DNA replication and transcription by reducing association between the affected DNA and: DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase and transcription factors. Amsacrine a...
