Alternative venlafaxine kinetics in overdose.

Unlabelled: The pharmacokinetics of venlafaxine in therapeutic doses is well established. It is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzymes including CYP2D6. The toxicokinetics in overdose is less well known.

Effects of 10 mg and 15 mg oral procyclidine on critical flicker fusion threshold and cardiac functioning in healthy human subjects.

The critical flicker fusion threshold (CFFT) is thought to index alertness and cortical arousal. Sedative drugs reduce CFFT while psychostimulants increase it. Procyclidine is an anticholinergic that is used to control the extrapyramidal side-effects of antipsychotics in schizophrenia.

Morphine, pethidine and buprenorphine disposition in the cat.

Pharmacokinetics of morphine, buprenorphine and pethidine were determined in 10 cats. Six cats received morphine (0.2 mg/kg) intravenously and four intramuscularly.
