Re: D-Cycloserine
Interesting drug but poor bioavailability. I would be skeptical regarding its efficacy following prolonged use - perhaps a targeted drug delivery system would be better.kpbos wrote:An Antiobiotic that can do this - who knew?

Re: D-Cycloserine
Meaning a drug with similar properties that is not an antibiotic?

No. What I meant is the SAME drug but used in a safer and more effective way based on the way it is delivered. The reason cycloserine is not widely used is mainly related to its toxicity.kpbos wrote:Meaning a drug with similar properties that is not an antibiotic?
