Cholestyramine therapy for quinidine-induced diarrhea. Case reports.

The effective use of quinidine as an antiarrhythmic agent is frequently curtailed by one of its most common side effects-relentless diarrhea. Seven patients are described in whom diarrhea was quickly and completely controlled by the use of cholestyramine resin. To date, this is the only therapy reported to be effective for this purpose. It has proven to be safe, well tolerated, and continuously effective in these cases.

Triple therapy for acute deep thrombophlebitis.

Therapy for patients with extensive thrombophlebitis is ofter inadequate with available methods. The reluctance of most physicians in private practice to use streptokinase or urokinase is understandable when one considers the cost, hospitalization, length of stay and risks involved. This article discusses a unique and previously unreported mode of drug therapy in these patients, consisting of a combination of drugs designed to combine the antithrombotic and thrombusantipropagating effects of warfarin, the anti-inflammatory effect of trypsin-chymotrypsin enzymes, and the antiplatelet aggregating, antiadhesion, and possible enhanced fibrinolytic effects of aspirin with added buffered protection (Ascriptin A/D). This treatment program has been a safe, efficient, economical, and highly effective one for a very costly, common, and disabling disease. It therefore fulfills the ideal criteria for any form of therapy, provided one is knowledgable of its content, and adheres to its contraindications as well as to the basic application of the drugs involved. It is hoped that further investigations along these lines will continue until an ideal solution is reached. Although this is a preliminary report, this study will continue in its present form, and will be expanded to include a series of patients on the aspirin-enzyme combination without the use of warfarin.
