WHEN ANTIDEPRESSANTS DON’T WORK
Pharmacists and psychiatrists know that, while antidepressant medications
are very effective, they do not work in all cases. The fact is that only
one-third of those prescribed antidepressants find they effectively combat
depression. With this in mind, doctors will take a trial-and-error approach
until they find a medication that works. In order to find out why this
hit-or-miss approach is necessary, researchers conducted laboratory experiments
to look for a “biomarker” (a substance in the body whose presence is
indicative of some phenomenon) that might influence the response to antidepressants.
They found that the “glucocorticoid receptor” (GR) plays a key role
in shaping an individual’s response to treatment with antidepressants. This
finding may help shape the future treatment of depression.
It’s never too late to become an informed consumer about your health. At
VILLAGE PHARMACY, we are more than happy to answer any questions you
might have about generic drugs as well as brand name drugs and
over-the-counter medications. When you take medicine, be sure to follow
your doctor's instructions carefully to obtain the maximum benefit with the
least risk. For more information, please call 781-334-3133. We are located in
the Colonial Shopping Center. Open” Mon.-Fri., 9-8; Sat. 9-5; and Sun. and
holidays, 9-1:30.
HINT: The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) helps fine-tune the stress hormone
system.
