  • Dietetics
Universal entry(ies)
DEF

A serotonin-noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor which promotes satiety and supports the effects of diet and exercise on weight loss.

CONT

Sibutramine has been shown to reduce body weight by dual actions : reduction of food intake through enhancement of satiety, and increase of energy expenditure by induction of thermogenesis. Sibutramine produces its therapeutic effects primarily by serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition.

OBS

1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]-N,N,3-trimethylbutan-1-amine: form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) for the systematic name corresponding to the CAS number indicated on the present record.

OBS

OBS

N: This capital letter must be italicized.

OBS

sibutramine: international nonproprietary name (INN).

Entrée(s) universelle(s)
DEF

Substance médicamenteuse qui agit sur le cerveau, où elle augmente l'effet de la sérotonine et de la noradrénaline, et est utilisée comme anorexigène dans le traitement de l'obésité.

CONT

La sibutramine fait perdre du poids par deux mécanismes complémentaires : [...] Elle augmente le seuil de satiété. [...] Elle augmente la thermogenèse, c'est-à-dire la production de chaleur par l'organisme.

OBS

1-[1-(4-chlorophényl)cyclobutyl]-N,N,3- triméthylbutan-1-amine : forme recommandée par l'UICPA (Union internationale de chimie pure et appliquée) pour le nom systématique correspondant au numéro CAS indiqué sur la présente fiche.

OBS

alpha : Ce mot doit être remplacé par la lettre grecque correspondante ou s'écrire en italique.

OBS

N : Cette lettre majuscule s'écrit en italique.

OBS

sibutramine: dénomination commune internationale (DCI).

Record 2 2022-10-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
  • Nervous System
  • Biochemistry
CONT

SSRIs treat depression by increasing levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is one of the chemical messengers(neurotransmitters) that carry signals between brain nerve cells(neurons). SSRIs block the reabsorption(reuptake) of serotonin into neurons. This makes more serotonin available to improve transmission of messages between neurons. SSRIs are called selective because they mainly affect serotonin, not other neurotransmitters. SSRIs may also be used to treat conditions other than depression, such as anxiety disorders.

Key term(s)
  • selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor
  • selective serotonin re-uptake blocker

French

Domaine(s)
  • Médicaments
  • Système nerveux
  • Biochimie
CONT

Les ISRS, en inhibant la recapture de la 5-HT [sérotonine] dans la synapse, augmentent sa concentration et donc son efficacité sur les récepteurs sérotoninergiques synaptiques.

Record 3 2013-07-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
  • Mental Disorders
CONT

MAOIs [monoamine oxidase inhibitors] tend to be underutilized in clinical practice, due in part to misinformation and mythology about their dietary and drug interactions. The new class of reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors(RIMAs) has shown efficacy in depression, with safety and tolerability comparable to SSRIs [selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Médicaments
  • Troubles mentaux
CONT

On a rapporté des réactions graves, dont certaines ont été fatales, chez des patients ayant reçu [du] chlorhydrate de sertraline ([zoloft]) en association avec un inhibiteur de la monoamine oxydase (IMAO), y compris avec la sélégiline, un IMAO sélectif, le moclobémide, un IMAO réversible ou IRMAO (inhibiteur réversible de la monoamine oxydase) et le linézolide, un antibiotique et un IRMAO non sélectif.

Subject field(s)
  • Federal Government Bodies and Committees (Canadian)
  • Non-Surgical Treatment
OBS

The Scientific Advisory Panel(SAP) on Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors(SSRI) and Serotonin/Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors(SNRI) acts as a forum of advice and a sounding board for management and scientists of Health Canada(HC). The SAP will primarily be consulted on the issue concerning the use of SSRI/SNRI in children under 18 years of age having major depressive disorders, but the decision-making responsibility remains with HC.

Key term(s)
  • SAP on SSRI and SNRI

French

Domaine(s)
  • Organismes et comités fédéraux (Gouvernement canadien)
  • Traitements non chirurgicaux
OBS

Le Groupe consultatif scientifique (CCS) des inhibiteurs sélectifs de la recaptation de la sérotonine (ISRS) et des inhibiteurs sélectifs de la recaptation de la sérotonine/norépinéphrine (ISRSN) a pour mandat de conseiller et d'informer les membres de la direction et les scientifiques de Santé Canada (SC). On consultera le CCS principalement dans le domaine de l'utilisation des ISRS/ISRSN chez les enfants de moins de 18 ans atteints de troubles dépressifs majeurs, mais la responsabilité des décisions incombe à SC.
