[Effect of a levopromazine-thymalin combination on the development of toxic edema and swelling in the brain]
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
In this rat study, the authors examined toxic edematous brain swelling, which they report was accompanied by blood-plasma disproteinemia and an increased gamma-globulin fraction. Administration of levopromazine (5 mg/kg), thymalin (1.2 mg/kg), or their combination reduced these blood-protein disturbances. The authors describe the antiedematous action of the levopromazine-thymalin combination as an additive synergistic interaction.
Abstract
The development of toxic edematous brain swelling in rats is accompanied by disproteinemia of the blood plasma and buildup of the gamma-globulin fraction. The administration of levopromazine (5 mg/kg), thymalin (1.2 mg/kg), or their combination reduces this disorder in the blood protein fractions. The antiedematous effect of the levopromazine--thymalin combination has an additive synergistic interaction.
