Medicine Fact's:
ERGOTAMINE:
Ergotamine is an ergopeptine and part of the ergot family of alkaloids; it is structurally and biochemically closely related to ergoline. It possesses structural similarity to several neurotransmitters, and has biological activity as a vasoconstrictor Image
It was first isolated from the ergot fungus by Arthur Stoll at Sandoz in 1918 and marketed as Gynergen in 1921.
It is used medicinally for treatment of acute migraine attacks (sometimes in combination with caffeine). Medicinal usage of ergot fungus began in the 16th century to induce childbirth, yet dosage uncertainties discouraged the use. It has been used to prevent post-partum
Heamorrhage.
Side effects of ergotamine include nausea and vomiting. At higher doses, it can cause raised arterial blood pressure, vasoconstriction (including coronary vasospasm) and bradycardia or tachycardia.
Contraindications include: atherosclerosis, Buerger's syndrome, coronary artery disease, hepatic disease, pregnancy, pruritus, Raynaud's syndrome, and renal disease.[9] It's also contraindicated if patient is taking macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin).

CAN PRE-CUM GET YOU PREGNANT?

The chances of getting pregnant from pre-cum are pretty low — but it is possible.

Pre-cum (also known as pre-ejaculate) is a small amount of fluid that comes out of your penis when you’re turned on,but before you ejaculate (cum). Oozing pre-cum is Image
involuntary — you can’t control when it comes out, and you might not be able to feel it happening.

Pre-cum doesn’t usually have any sperm in it. But some people may have a small amount of sperm in their pre-cum. If there is sperm in someone’s pre-cum, and that pre-cum gets Image
into your vagina, it could possibly fertilize an egg and lead to pregnancy.

There’s no way to know when there is or isn’t sperm in pre-cum — that’s one reason why the withdrawal method (pulling out) isn’t the best at preventing pregnancy, even if they pull out before they

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the skin, causing red, itchy and scaly patches.

CAUSES:
The exact cause of psoriasis is not yet fully understood. However it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Research Image

Medicine Fact's!
GEMFIBROZIL
It was designed first at the Parke Davis Research Laboratories, Detroit in the year of 1968 in order to lower serum lipid. After three years of intense research, in 1971, gemfibrozil was proposed as a new drug with its lipid lowering ability. Image
Gemfibrozil is in the fibric acid derivatives drug class, which inhibits the production of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) and enhances VLDL clearance by stimulating lipoprotein lipase activity. This primarily results in reducing triglycerides and raising HDL-C.
