Dextromethorphan is a non-narcotic morphine derivative widely used as an antitussive for almost 40 years. It has attracted attention due to its anticonvulsant and neuroprotective properties. It is a cough suppressant in many over-the-counter cold and cough medicines. In 2010, the FDA approved the combination product dextromethorphan/quinidine for the treatment of pseudobulbar affect. Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex by a direct action on the cough center in the medulla of the brain. Dextromethorphan shows high-affinity binding to several regions of the brain, including the medullary cough center. This compound is an NMDA receptor antagonist and acts as a non-competitive channel blocker. It is one of the widely used antitussives and is used to study the involvement of glutamate receptors in neurotoxicity. Dextromethorphan (DM) is a sigma-1 receptor agonist and an uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist. The mechanism by which dextromethorphan exerts therapeutic effects in patients with pseudobulbar affect is unknown. Dextromethorphan should not be taken with monoamine oxidase inhibitors due to the potential for serotonin syndrome. Dextromethorphan is extensively metabolized by CYP2D6 to dextrorphan, which is rapidly glucuronidated and unable to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Iodide ion I-123 is the most suitable isotope of iodine for the diagnostic study of thyroid diseases. Sodium Iodide I 131 Capsules Diagnostic is indicated for use in adults for: Assessment of thyroid function using radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake test and Imaging the thyroid (scintigraphy). The following adverse reaction has been described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use from Sodium Iodide I 131 Capsules Diagnostic: Gastrointestinal disorders (vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea); General disorders and administration site conditions (local thyroid swelling); Immune system disorders (hypersensitivity reactions); Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (itching, rash, hives, and erythema). Certain drugs and iodine-containing foods interfere with the accumulation of radioiodide by the thyroid.

Iodide ion I-125 is radioisotope of iodine with half-life 59.4 days. It decays with the emission of low-energy gamma rays. It is used as a source for bone densitometry devices, protein iodination. Seeds implantations with I-125 are used in the clinics for the treatment of prostate cancer, malignant biliary obstruction, non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, uveal melanoma, and other tumors.

Iodide I-131 (as Sodium iodide I-131) is a radioisotopic drug used for the treatment and palliation of thyroid malignancy. Therapeutic solutions of Sodium Iodide-131 are indicated for the treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyroid carcinomas that take up iodine. Palliative effects may be observed in patients with advanced thyroid malignancy if the metastatic lesions take up iodine. It is also indicated for use in performance of the radioactive iodide (RAI) uptake test to evaluate thyroid function. Taken orally, sodium iodide I-131 is rapidly absorbed and distributed within the extracellular fluid of the body. The iodide is concentrated in the thyroid via the sodium/iodide symporter, and subsequently oxidized to iodine. The destruction of thyroidal tissue is achieved by the beta emission of sodium iodide I-131.

Methyl salicylate (or methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate), also known as wintergreen oil, is a natural product and is present in white wine, tea, porcini mushroom Boletus edulis, Bourbon vanilla, clary sage, red sage and fruits including cherry, apple, raspberry, papaya and plum. Methyl salicylate is topically used in combination with methanol and under brand name SALONPAS to temporarily relieves mild to moderate aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with: strains, sprains, simple backache, arthritis, bruises. The precise mechanism of action of methyl salicylate is not known, but there is suggested, that it cause dilation of the capillaries thereby increasing blood flow to the area.

Conditions:

Dextrorphan is an active metabolite of dextromethorphan, is an antitussive agent, which was found in cough medicines. Dextrorphan is a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist, sigma 1 receptor agonist, so as is an agonist of mu and kappa opioid receptors. In addition was found, that dextrorphan possessed anticonvulsive and neuroprotective effects.
Racemethorphan is racemic mixture of Dextromethorphan and Levomethorphan. Racemethorphan is listed under the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961 and is therefore listed in the United States as a Controlled Substance, specifically as a Narcotic in Schedule II. Dextromethorphan is a non-narcotic morphine derivative widely used as an antitussive. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant in many over-the-counter cold and cough medicines. In 2010, the FDA approved the combination product dextromethorphan/quinidine for the treatment of pseudobulbar affect. Dextromethorphan suppresses the cough reflex by a direct action on the cough center in the medulla of the brain. Levomethorphan is an opioid analgesic of the morphinan family that has never been marketed.
