Although some older antihistamines have a relatively slow onset of action, modern agents indicate an efficacy between 1 and 3 hours of administration. For patients who use antihistamines regularly, a short onset of action is relatively unimportant. When antihistamines are used as needed, either because of poor compliance or in accordance with emerging therapeutic guidelines, antihistamines with a short onset of action are preferable.

Despite sharing ∼ 43 % sequence identity and structurally similar individual domains, botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes A and E have differences in their properties and domain positioning. BoNT/E has a faster onset of action than BoNT/A. This difference is proposed to be due to conformational differences between BoNT/E and the other BoNT serotypes.

Previous studies have shown that FGF-21 can ameliorate hyperglycemia and improve the level of oxidative stress in vivo in diabetic mice. The hypoglycemic effect is safe and lasting, but it takes a longer time to exert its effect. Insulin treatment of canine diabetes takes effect quickly; however, its action time is short, and it is prone to cause hypoglycemia.

Introduction: X842 is a new type of gastric acid-suppressing agent with a rapid onset of action and a long duration of effect. We aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of different doses of X842 versus lansoprazole in the treatment of patients with erosive esophagitis (EE).
Methods: This phase 2 study included 90 patients with EE (Los Angeles grades A-D) who were randomized (1:1:1) to receive oral low-dose X842 (50 mg/day, n=31), high-dose X842 (100 mg/day, n=31), or lansoprazole (30 mg/day, n=30) for 4 weeks.

Background: Dementia is a growing public health issue. Non-drug interventions targeting individuals before the onset of overt cognitive decline may be effective. Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is present in > 50% of older adults and associated with progression to dementia.
