Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that enhances serotonergic neurotransmission by blocking the reuptake of serotonin at the presynaptic neuron, thereby increasing extracellular serotonin levels in the brain.
Pandel (hydrocortisone probutate) is a topical corticosteroid that acts by inducing phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. These proteins inhibit the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids, thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and other inflammatory mediators. This results in vasoconstriction, decreased edema, and suppression of the inflammatory and pruritic responses.
