| gold sodium thiomalate | <chemical> A variable mixture of the mono- and disodium salts of gold thiomalic acid used mainly for its anti-inflammatory action in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It is most effective in active progressive rheumatoid arthritis and of little or no value in the presence of extensive deformities or in the treatment of other forms of arthritis. Pharmacological action: antirheumatic agents, gold. Chemical name: Butanedioic acid, mercapto-, monogold(1+) sodium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| gold sodium thiosulfate | <chemical> An antirheumatic agent with the same actions and uses as gold sodium thiomalate. Pharmacological action: antirheumatic agents, gold. Chemical name: Aurate(3-), bis(monothiosulfato(2-)-O,S)-, trisodium, (T-4)- (12 Dec 1998) |

| methicillin sodium | Sodium 2,6-dimethoxyphenylpenicillin monohydrate;a semisynthetic penicillin salt for parenteral administration; restriction of its use to infections caused by penicillin G-resistant staphylococci is recommended; it is less effective than penicillin G in infections caused by haemolytic streptococci, pneumococci, gonococci, and penicillin G-sensitive staphylococci. Synonym: sodium methicillin. (05 Mar 2000) |
