Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Topical corticosteroid that induces phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (lipocortins), inhibiting arachidonic acid release and subsequent prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby mediating anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects.
Metformin hydrochloride is a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent that improves glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It primarily decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.
Apply a thin film to the affected area 1 to 2 times daily. Use the smallest amount for adequate therapy. Do not use for more than 2 weeks per course of treatment.
Locametz (gallium Ga 68 gozetotide) is administered intravenously at a dose of 3-5 mCi (110-185 MBq) as a single injection for PET imaging. No repeated dosing schedule is defined.
