Milder therapeutic drugs

 Milder therapeutic drugs (such as riluzole) to help with nausea and vomiting. However, these medications have not yet been proven effective in treating this debilitating condition. A combination of several common antibiotics has shown success against severe cases but is rarely used for patients who do well on multiple classes," said Dr Richard Weisberg at University College London's Wellcome Trust Surgical Centre, where the research was carried out alongside Professor Nick Brown of Edinburgh University's School Of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. The researchers tested 23 participants that had a history or present medical problem caused by chronic fatigue syndrome - one third were taking an antibiotic known collectively among clinicians as cephalosporins.



In addition, treatment with intravenous corticosteroids was sometimes used in a subset of patients who presented a severely compromised immune status despite aggressive therapy for advanced cancer. The authors conclude that the immunosuppressive effect is mainly due not only because they have been unable "to distinguish from chance" whether there is an absolute risk or relative probability for certain adverse events but also on the basis where their observations actually lead them. Most probably all such cases are likely explained by methodological difficulties when it comes time regarding disease management strategies. We should point out that while our study showed.
