NORETHANDROLONE, a nandrolone derivative, is a synthetic hormone with anabolic and androgenic properties and moderate progestational activity. It was used to treat, among others, anorexia nervosa, severe burns and trauma, decubitus ulcers, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal diseases. Its list of prescriptions included preparation for and recovery from surgery, bone fracture healing, severe or prolonged illness, and various forms of malnourishment in adults and children. It was withdrawn for the market in most countries in the 1960s, however, it remains viable on the veterinary drug market in Australia.

Deslanoside is a cardiotonic glycoside from the leaves of Digitalis lanata. It is used to treat congestive heart failure and supraventricular arrhythmias due to reentry mechanisms, and to control ventricular rate in the treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation. Deslanoside inhibits the Na-K-ATPase membrane pump, resulting in an increase in intracellular sodium and calcium concentrations. Increased intracellular concentrations of calcium may promote activation of contractile proteins (e.g., actin, myosin). It also acts on the electrical activity of the heart, increasing the slope of phase 4 depolarization, shortening the action potential duration, and decreasing the maximal diastolic potential.
Zoxazolamine is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. It decreased striatal dopamine metabolism without affecting striatal dopamine concentrations. More specifically, Zoxazolamine was shown to decrease striatal dopamine turnover without directly affecting dopamine synthesis, catabolism, reuptake, or release. It is the IK(Ca) channel opener. It was approved for the relief of muscle spasm in conditions such as musculoskeletal disorders and neurological diseases. Later, it was submitted for the drug's use as a uricosuric agent to treat gout. It was withdrawn from the market due to hepatotoxicity.

Conditions:

Docusate, also known as docusate salts or dioctyl sulfosuccinate, prevents/relieves dry hard stool and thus is used to treat constipation. Results usually occurs 1 to 3 days after the first dose. In North America, docusate and a stimulant laxative such as sennosides are commonly used in bowel treatment protocols associated with institutionalized elderly and oncology treatments. A paucity of evidence is available to support the use of the stool softener docusate yet it continues to be prescribed in everyday clinical practice for the aforementioned populations. While the actual cost of docusate is low, additional costs associated with its administration (i.e. nursing time) and its widespread use can be significant. Docusate is absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted via the gallbladder after undergoing extensive metabolism. The effect of docusate may not necessarily be all due to its surfactant properties. Perfusion studies suggest that docusate inhibits fluid absorption or stimulates secretion in the portion of the small intestine known as the jejunum

Fluoxymesterone, sold under the brand names Halotestin and Ultandren among others, is a synthetic, orally active androgenic-anabolic steroid (AAS) and a 17α-alkylated derivative of testosterone developed by Pharmacia & Upjohn Company LLC, approved by FDA at 1956. Fluoxymesterone is used in the treatment of hypogonadism in males and breast cancer in women. Fluoxymesterone has a relatively high ratio of androgenic to anabolic activity similarly to testosterone. Like many 17α-alkylated AAS, it has a relatively low affinity for the androgen receptor (AR). However, its actions are mediated by the AR, most likely due to its relatively long elimination half-life of approximately 9.2 hours.
