Drug Name Tribulus

It is a protein (MW 5800) consisting of two peptide chains linked by two disulfide bridges; the A chain has 21 and the B chain 30 amino acids. Insulin is the “blood-sugar lowering” hormone.
Indications: prophylaxis of renal hypovolemic failure, mobilization of brain edema, and acute glaucoma. These drugs contain the sulfonamide group -SO2NH2. They are suitable for oral administration. In addition to being filtered at the glomerulus, they are subject to tubular secretion. Their concentration in urine is higher than in blood.

 

Oral administration, however, is advantageous in that it is impossible to overload the body with iron through an intact mucosa because of its demand-regulated absorption (mucosal block).
The effectiveness of such indirect sympathomimetics diminishes or disappears (tachyphylaxis) when vesicular stores of NE close to the axolemma are depleted. Indirect sympathomimetics can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and evoke such CNS effects as a feeling of well-being, enhanced physical activity and mood (euphoria), and decreased sense of hunger or fatigue.
