This study will open up new areas of research that will lead to better understanding of the causes of low birth weight and ultimately lead to reducing the tragedy of infant mortality....

New fertility drug development techniques by Organon

...fety. The new compound, an LH/hCG agonistic agent, interacts with the human LH receptor just like LH (and hCG). Scientists carried out pre-clinical tests of this LH agonist in rats and found that it induced ovulation after a single oral dose and that fertilization of the ovulated eggs resulted in the normal im...

The Dangers Of Herb-Drugs Evaluated

...cans. While some research suggests St. John’s wort interacts with certain drugs and that it can be dangerous,// none of the research has been conclusive. Investigators reviewed 22 research trials that examined drug interactions with St. John’s wort. The studies included around 12 participants each. Researchers...

New Blood Thinner Pill - First Potential Alternative to Warfarin in 50 years

...r lungs.But warfarin, which takes time to kick in, interacts with other drugs and foods containing vitamin K. It requires regular blood tests to adjust the dose.
