𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲! 💊

Trimetazidine is a prescribed metabolic oral medication used to treat angina pectoris through the support of myocardial glucose utilization during ischemic-related conditions. It partially reduces fatty acid beta oxidation, therefore lessening chest pain

Trimetazidine functions through its anti-ischemic properties by inhibiting fatty acid beta oxidation, specifically blocking the 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase in the mitochondria. This results in a shift to glucose oxidation, or glycolysis, in cardiac metabolism in order to restore ATP production in oxygen-deprived cells.

Common side effects tend to include dizziness, headaches, stomach pain, diarrhea, indigestion and vomiting, with more severe side effects pertaining to rashing, itching, hives, and a general feeling of weakness.

𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲! 💊

Everolimus is an orally-prescribed medication used to treat various types of cancer (e.g., brain cancer) and tumor diseases (e.g., neuroendocrine tumor). It is also used to prevent organ rejection during transplant. It is a derivative of Rapamycin, a potent immunosuppressant drug from the gram-positive bacteria 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑦𝑐𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑦𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑝𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑠.

Similar to Rapamycin, Everolimus binds strongly with FK506-binding protein to form a complex which will inhibit the serine/threonine-protein kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), the regulatory enzyme involved in physiological functions such as cell growth, metabolism, autophagy, and protein synthesis. Hence, the common side effects involve cough, fever, and diarrhea. It is important not to consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking this medication as it inhibits the enzyme which breaks down Everolimus (CYP3A4), which may lead to increased drug concentration.

Currently, Everolimus is studied for its potential treatment against autoimmune hepatitis, tuberculosis, chronic-graft-versus-host disease, and as an anti-aging immune enhancement.

𝐗𝐏𝐑𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 joins the global community in observing World Cancer Day on February 4, 2026, a worldwide call to raise awareness, encourage early detection, and support better access to cancer care.

This year’s World Cancer Day theme, “United by Unique,” as highlighted by the World Health Organization (WHO), reminds us that every person’s experience with cancer is different. It highlights the importance of placing people at the center of care, listening to their needs, respecting their journeys, and providing support that is compassionate, inclusive, and accessible.

In the Philippines, World Cancer Day is supported by the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS), which continues to lead efforts in cancer awareness, prevention, patient support, and advocacy. PCS works with government agencies, health professionals, and communities to help improve cancer education and access to care nationwide.

World Cancer Day also marks the beginning of National Cancer Awareness Month, observed throughout February under the National Integrated Cancer Control Act (RA 11215). Led by the Department of Health and its partners, this month-long observance helps sustain awareness by promoting cancer prevention, early screening, timely treatment, and patient support across the country.

Through World Cancer Day and National Cancer Awareness Month, XPRT Analytical Services Corporation encourages everyone to take part by learning more about cancer, supporting screening and early consultation, and standing with individuals and families affected by the disease.

Together, we can support a future where every person facing cancer is seen, heard, and cared for.

𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲! 💊

In the late 1950s to the early 1960s, thalidomide was a drug used to treat nausea in pregnant women. However, this drug was soon banned worldwide by the end of the decade after it caused drastic birth defects in thousands of children. In the 1980s, thalidomide was discovered to have anti-angiogenic properties and is now used to treat multiple myeloma, a type of rare blood cancer, by preventing blood vessels from growing in tumors. Thalidomide is also used to treat Hansen’s disease, also known as leprosy.

The antitumor mechanism of thalidomide is not fully understood, but studies suggest that it mainly works by binding to cerebron, a part of a multi-protein complex responsible for degrading proteins, to break down transcription factors responsible for the multiplication of cancerous myeloma cells. Thalidomide has two forms, the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, which rapidly interconvert within the body. The (R) form of thalidomide prevents nausea, while the (S) form causes birth defects. The severe effects of the (S) form of thalidomide to embryos is not fully understood, but studies suggest its anti-angiogenic effects might be a contributing factor.

Thalidomide caused a wide range of birth defects in over 10,000 children by the 1960s, and malformities were mostly seen in the limbs, face, eyes, ears, genitalia, internal organs, and skeletal structure. Because of the thalidomide tragedy, stricter regulatory frameworks were established for drug testing, marketing, dispensing, and use.

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲! 💊

Clofazomine is an oral medication requiring a doctor’s prescription used to treat the bacterial and inflammatory effects of Leprosy due to the gram-positive bacteria 𝑀𝑦𝑐𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑙𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑒. It is primary co-administered with dapsone and rifampicin to treat Leprosy, and is also used to treat dapsone-resistance leprosy, erythema nodosum leprosum, and non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections.

Although the specific mode of action of Clofazomine has not yet been discovered, it has been theorized that its antibacterial effects is either because (1) its lipophilic property generates intracellular reactive oxygen species to produce hydrogen peroxide and superoxide that has antimicrobial properties, and (2) it interacts with the phospholipids of the bacteria then generates antimicrobial lysophospholipids by interfering with the bacterial ATP production, specifically through its K+ uptake. Its anti-inflammatory effect is theorized either because it (1) directly binds to the Kv 1.3 channel of T-lymphocytes to inhibit the flow of potassium ions or (2) promotes the release of prostaglandins and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).

As we celebrated World Leprosy day last Sunday, January 25, let us continue to show support to the patients of Leprosy and their loved ones by spreading awareness about its cause and effects.

𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲! 💊

Propylthiouracil is a medication used to treat thyroid disorders caused by an overproduction of thyroid hormone, such as Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism. It is also used to treat patients with hyperthyroidism before thyroidectomy or radioactive iodine therapy.

Hyperthyroidism affects nearly every organ in the body since thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, i.e., how the body uses energy. Serious health problems can occur due to an overactive thyroid gland, such as heart-related problems, muscle problems, and fertility issues. Hyperthyroidism can be caused by Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland.

In thyroid hormone production, iodide is combined with the amino acid tyrosine to form diiodotyrosine (DIT) or monoiodotyrosine (MIT), important components of thyroid hormones T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). Propylthiouracil works by inhibiting the enzyme thyroid peroxidase from converting iodine into iodide, slowing down the production of thyroid hormone. This drug also stops the peripheral conversion of the less active thyroid hormone T4 into the more active thyroid hormone T3.

Propylthiouracil is part of a class of antithyroid drugs called thionamides, which include methimazole and carbimazole. These drugs are used to reduce thyroid activity, an alternative treatment to hyperthyroidism that does not involve the destruction of the thyroid gland.

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲! 💊

Carbimazole is an oral medication used to reduce the production of thyroid hormones, a condition called hyperthyroidism, affecting body functions such as metabolism. It prevents the thyroid peroxidase enzyme from iodinating the tyrosine residue of thyroid-producing hormone protein.

Carbimazole is often co-administered in a “block and replace” system. Some of the medicines it is co-administered with are thyroxine to prevent hypothyroidism, Beta-blockers to control hyperthyroidism symptoms, and antihistamines to manage Carbimazole’s minor side effects, involving rashes.

As we move through the month of January, let’s celebrate Thyroid Awareness to help promote awareness and show support to the patient and their loved ones.

𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲! 🧠💊

Lorazepam is a medication used to treat anxiety and anxiety-related symptoms, such as difficulty in sleeping, and long-lasting seizures (status epilepticus). This drug is also used to help patients relax before administering anesthesia during operations.

Lorazepam works by binding to gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) receptors in the nervous system. This improves the binding of GABA, a calming neurotransmitter, to the receptors. As a result, the relaxing effects of GABA in the brain become more enhanced, leading to anxiety regulation.

Lorazepam is part of a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, more commonly known as “benzos.” These drugs slow down brain activity. Other known drugs in this category include alprazolam and diazepam.

Like other benzodiazepine medications, lorazepam can be highly addictive and cause patients to become dependent on the drug. Thus, this drug should be regulated and only prescribed after careful consideration. Healthcare professionals must keep a close watch on patients undergoing this treatment to prevent lorazepam abuse.

In case of mental health emergencies, contact emergency services or a crisis hotline immediately.

Axitinib is a drug used to control advanced kidney cancer, a case where the cancer cells have already spread to other parts of the body. Axitinib slows down the spread of cancer cells and deprives these cells of nutrition and oxygen it needs. Although it does not function to cure cancer, it is an effective chemotherapeutic drug to help kidney cancer patients to have a better quality of life.

Kidney Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated in March, represented by a ribbon to symbolize solidarity, and an orange color to signify encouragement for an early detection and support to the patients and continuous research on treatment. Through the simple act of wearing an orange ribbon, we help promote awareness on this tiresome battle faced by the patients and their family

Check out the infographics to learn more about Axitinib and together, let’s help promote awareness about kidney cancer!

𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲! 👩🏻‍🔬🧠

Fluoxetine is an antidepressant medication prescribed for several mental health conditions, commonly used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bulimia nervosa, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and panic disorder. In some cases, it is combined with olanzapine to treat depressive episodes associated with Bipolar I disorder or forms of depression that have not responded well to other treatments.

Fluoxetine was developed from research showing that low serotonin levels are linked to depression. It belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and works by increasing serotonin activity in the brain. By blocking its reabsorption into nerve cells, fluoxetine allows more serotonin to stay active longer, helping improve mood, behavior, and emotional balance.

Similar to other antidepressants, fluoxetine carries an important safety warning. It may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors, especially in children, teenagers, and young adults under 24, particularly at the start of treatment or when doses are changed. Close monitoring during this time is essential. Fluoxetine is available by prescription only and should be taken exactly as directed. Patients should keep regular follow-up appointments and report any side effects or mood changes to their healthcare provider.

In case of mental health emergencies, contact emergency services or a crisis hotline immediately.

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲! 🦵🏻💊

Nabumetone is an oral medication used to relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It belongs to a group of medicines called 𝙣𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞-𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙙𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙨 (𝙉𝙎𝘼𝙄𝘿𝙨). Nabumetone helps reduce inflammation and pain, allowing better movement and improved daily function. It is often prescribed for long-term management of joint and muscle pain under medical supervision.

It works by reducing the production of substances in the body called prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain, inflammation, and swelling. After being taken, nabumetone is converted into the body into its active form, which blocks enzymes involved in prostaglandin formation. By lowering these pain-causing chemicals, nabumetone helps decrease inflammation, relieve pain, and improve joint mobility, especially in chronic inflammatory conditions.

Taking nabumetone may cause some side effects, particularly with long-term use. Common side effects include stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, or headache. Some people may also experience swelling of the legs or increased blood pressure. Less commonly, serious side effects such as stomach ulcers, bleeding, kidney problems, or heart-related issues may occur. If symptoms like black stools, chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe weakness appear, medical help should be sought immediately.
