I have a med dictionary link which I use when reading 'package inserts' on RX List. You know these words like, "Amitriptyline is metabolized by N-demethylation and bridge hydroxylation in man, rabbit, and rat. Virtually the entire dose is excreted as glucuronide or sulfate conjugate of metabolites, with little unchanged drug appearing in the urine. Other metabolic pathways may be involved."
Sometimes, if a word 'appears innocuous', I'll blow it off. Curiosity sets in and when I look it up, it means something to the effect of, say, this med could cause men to grow breasts and has rarely been shown to cause sudden death.
We do need to know these words. Thanks for the new link Cam.
