Our study is a rewiew of Methotrexate therapy in obstetrica? diseases such us: hydatidiform mole, and medical abortion. In the medical world, methotrexate is a citostatic drug used in neoplastic diseases. The clinical pharmacology data regarding methotrexate is presented, alongside route of administration and therapeutic effects in malignant disease, hydatiform mole, and medical abortion. The use of methotrexate in medical abortion and ectopic pregnancy is a great accomplishment, as it replaces a surgical intervention marred by characteristic side effects, with similar results.

The drug class of monoamine agonists includes agents called antidepressants and stimulants. Monoamine agonists are the most widely used class of psychotropic drugs. There are three major monoamines, and thus three main types of monoamine agonists. We consider each in turn: the serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs), norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRIs), and dopaminergic agents. We also discuss the dopamine agonists—bupropion (Wellbutrin) and amphetamines (“stimulants”), as well as other new monoamine agonists. The clinical pharmacology of specific agents within each class, including their efficacy and side effects, is explored. Specific phenomena surveyed include SRI tolerance, sexual dysfunction, drug interactions, serotonin withdrawal syndrome, and suicide and akathisia.
