Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to treat hypertension, edema, heart failure, and glaucoma. Because carbon dioxide plays a key role in acid-base regulation mechanisms, this class of diuretics is the only one that can affect lung function. Acetazolamide has been shown to interfere with the elimination of carbon dioxide during exercise and also […]
Methenolone is a steroid used to treat osteoporosis, anemia and catabolic conditions, known as Primobolan. This substance is a DHT derivative capable of firmly binding the androgen receptor, does not convert to estrogen, therefore it does not give gynecomastia, water retention and suppresses the HPTA axis to a limited extent. This steroid has an A: […]
Oxylophrine is a sympathomimetic used to treat hypotensive conditions, with actions similar to those of ephedrine. This substance promotes the release of norepinephrine and, therefore, has indirect noradrenergic activity. Its main activity is at the level of the heart, where it has a positive inotropic and chronotropic effect (increases the heart rate and cardiac output). […]
Nitric oxide: what it is, how it is produced and physiological functions Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical nitrogen capable of oxidizing or reducing compounds with which it comes into contact. It is a powerful vasodilator commonly used in the inflammatory process against pathogens, viruses and cancer cells. It is a gas formed by […]
Anabolic agents are chemicals that promote anabolism, that is, the formation of complex molecules, in particular proteins, but not only starting with simpler molecules. These substances are used in therapy to stimulate the growth of certain tissues as needed. They act in a similar way to certain hormones that are responsible for regulating certain growth […]
Acetylsalicylic acid is the main NSAID in the salicylate class. The name aspirin was born as a trademark invented by Bayer , which first produced the drug, but over time it became the generic name for the substance. Aspirin is the only irreversible inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, this property makes this substance, when taken in a […]

Clenbuterol, marketed in Italy as Monores and elsewhere as Spiropent, is a particularly potent long-acting β2 agonist used in the treatment of asthma. In addition to providing anti-asthma activity, this substance increases heart rate and promotes weight loss by also acting on β3 receptors. # 3 receptors are present in adipose tissue, and their activation […]
Beta blockers are a class of drugs that block the action of β-adrenergic receptors. This class includes drugs that block all β-adrenergic receptors in a non-selective manner, and others that can also selectively block one of three types of beta receptors: β 1 , β 2 receptors and β 3 . The main activity of […]
