1.1. Chloramphenicol ingredient information 1.1.1. Pharmacodynamics of active ingredient Chloramphenicol Active ingredient Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces venezuelae, now produced by synthetic method.
1.1.2. Pharmacokinetics of the active ingredient Chloramphenicol Absorption: Active ingredient Chloramphenicol is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Chloramphenicol palmitate hydrolyzes in the gastrointestinal tract and is absorbed as free chloramphenicol. After topical application in the eye, the active substance chloramphenicol is absorbed into the aqueous humor. Distribution: Active ingredient Chloramphenicol is widely distributed in most body tissues including saliva, ascites, pleural fluid, synovial fluid, aqueous humor and vitreous humor. The highest drug concentrations exist in the liver and kidneys. Chloramphenicol is about 60% bound to plasma proteins. Metabolism: Active substance Chloramphenicol is inactivated mainly in the liver by glucuronyl transferase. Elimination: Approximately 68-99% of an oral dose of Chloramphenicol is excreted in the urine in 3 days. 1.1.3. The action of the active ingredient Chloramphenicol Pharmacokinetics Chloramphenicol is usually bacteriostatic, but can be bactericidal at high concentrations or against highly susceptible bacteria. Chloramphenicol inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria by binding to the 50S subunit of the ribosome. At the same time, this drug also inhibits protein synthesis in rapidly proliferating mammalian cells. Chloramphenicol may cause bone marrow suppression and may be irreversible. The drug has no effect on Shigella flexneri, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Streptococcus pneumoniae and has little effect on fungi. 1.2. Dexamethasone ingredient information 1.2.1. Pharmacokinetics of the active ingredient Dexamethasone Dexamethasone is fluomethylprednisolone which is a synthetic glucocorticoid, almost insoluble in water.
1.2.2. Pharmacokinetics of the active ingredient Dexamethasone Absorption: The drug Dexamethasone is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, well absorbed at the site of administration. The drug is highly absorbed by the kidneys, liver and adrenal glands. Distribution: The drug is distributed into all tissues of the body, crosses the placenta and small amounts are excreted in breast milk. The drug is also bound to plasma proteins up to 77% and mainly to albumin. Metabolism: Dexamethasone is metabolized slowly in the liver. Elimination: Dexamethasone is excreted in the urine, mostly in the form of unconjugated steroids. The mean half-life is about 36 to 54 hours. 1.2.3. The action of the active ingredient Dexamethasone Active ingredient Dexamethasone works by binding to receptors in the cell, translocating into the cell nucleus and there affecting a number of genes to be translated. Dexamethasone active ingredient has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and immunosuppressive effects. The effect on electrolyte balance is minimal. In terms of anti-inflammatory activity, Dexamethasone is 30 times stronger than Hydrocortisone. At pharmacological doses, systemic administration of dexamethasone causes suppression of the pituitary gland causing corticotropin release (ACTH), causing the adrenal cortex to stop secreting endogenous corticosteroid hormones, causing secondary adrenocortical insufficiency.
