Deanol Overview

Deanol Deanol, also known as 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol or DMAE, is a chemical compound that is found naturally in the brain and is also available as a dietary supplement. It is purported to have a number of potential health benefits, including cognitive and mood-enhancing effects. Deanol is a precursor to choline and is thought to work by increasing the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in memory, learning, and other cognitive functions. It is most often used as a natural remedy for anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions, although it is important to note that the effectiveness of deanol for these purposes has not been established.

Valrubicin Overview

  • Valrubicin solution is used to treat a type of bladder cancer (carcinoma in situ; CIS) that was not effectively treated with another medication (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin; BCG therapy) in patients that can not have surgery right away to remove all or part of the bladder. However, only about 1 out of 5 patients responds to treatment with valrubicin and delaying bladder surgery may lead to the spread of bladder cancer which may be life-threatening. Valrubicin is an anthracycline antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy. It slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in your body.
