My Stackexchange Website Proposals

I proposed a new stackexchange site, pharmacy stackexchange please help me in gathering support for it becoming beta ($\beta$)! It will be for pharmacists, doctors and medical researchers.

About Me

I am a Ubuntu and Android user. I like learning about drugs.

Feel free to contact me through email and facebook so long as you keep a clean and civil tongue from what I can tell (including statuses) and do not offend me or my friends.

Best Office Suite for Ubuntu is a blog I made on the best Office Suite for Ubuntu. The comparison is based on reviews in the software centre, sourceforge.net and CNET with negatives and positives pointed out based on the reviews in the software centre.

Apr 30	comment	How do you average Ki values? The latter would be a breach of copyright and the other I don't quite understand how that would be better.
Apr 30	comment	How do you average Ki values? Nope, all the units are nM.
Apr 21	comment	What are the conditions that must be satisfied in order for drugs to be deliverable via the epidural route? This question is about general drugs. If you're asking about pentazocine it is a predominantly kappa opioid.
Apr 17	comment	What's a good and reliable database on the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data of drugs both approved and unapproved? Where exactly on this site do you find the PD and PK data? I looked up sertraline all I got was these sort of pages...accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/…
Apr 16	comment	Which receptor in particular does, “MUSCARINIC CHOLINERGIC” refer to in Goodman and Gilman? @dd3 OK, here are the relevant tables.
Apr 13	comment	How does Tianeptine work to elicit its therapeutic effects? Just wondering if there are any additional theories.
Apr 6	comment	How can homosexuality evolve despite natural selection? @rg255 you're right.
Mar 27	comment	How can homosexuality evolve despite natural selection? Yep, neither do I have any problem. The purpose of asking this question I think is to detach any prejudice because evolution implies genetics and thus a lack of control over said orientation.
Mar 27	comment	What's the Evolutionary Purpose of Hair in Humans (namely the hair that grows on their skin, NOT internal hairs)? Not entirely that was about facial and scalpal hair, not hair in general.
Mar 25	comment	Why do some people find vegetables so repellent when evolutionarily they should find them an attractive and thus tasty food? OK I appreciate your honesty, for that I will leave it open and unaccept your answer, but I will also upvote your answer.
Mar 25	comment	Why do some people find vegetables so repellent when evolutionarily they should find them an attractive and thus tasty food? A healthy diet is also more likely to result in us being more healthy and thus looking more attractive to potential mates so it still seems odd that the foods that are among the richest in said vitamins are so repugnant to us.
Feb 14	comment	What's the therapeutic index of Pethidine (Meperidine in the US)? Sounds about right. I've been trying to get a pharmacy stackexchange site started but that's going to take at least a few months even if it gets a relatively large amount of support.
Feb 14	comment	What's the therapeutic index of Pethidine (Meperidine in the US)? In any case I created a new tag to suite this question.
Feb 14	comment	What's the therapeutic index of Pethidine (Meperidine in the US)? If so, where am I supposed to ask this question as far as stackexchange sites? This biology stackexchange is best suited for me to ask this question.
Feb 13	comment	What's the therapeutic index of Pethidine (Meperidine in the US)? Tell me about it... It would be nice if those that think I've done a poor job in asking this question could tell me what I did wrong.
Feb 12	comment	Does the NMDA antagonist, Memantine that's used to prevent Excitotoxicity cause brain damage? Ah, thanks, I assume you're talking about hallucinations because it makes the link between its NMDA antagonist activity and potential brain damage more clear by demonstrating that it has one of the effects characateristic of NMDA antagonists, i.e. hallucinations.
Feb 12	comment	Does the NMDA antagonist, Memantine that's used to prevent Excitotoxicity cause brain damage? What do you mean by N=3?
Feb 12	comment	Does the NMDA antagonist, Memantine that's used to prevent Excitotoxicity cause brain damage? Thanks, mate. That's helpful for me, of course in human studies would be more helpful but c'mon there's no such studies on the most widely-used NMDA antagonists like ketamine and PCP so I can hardly expect it for memantine -- a drug I had trouble finding evidence even in rodents.
Feb 11	comment	Which range are the Therapeutic Indices of Currently-Prescribed Benzodiazepines in? Yeah I know of the therapeutic window but the problem is that we know more about therapeutic indices for other drugs so it's a more useful comparison for me.
Feb 11	comment	Which range are the Therapeutic Indices of Currently-Prescribed Benzodiazepines in? Is the effective dose of 0.5mg/kg for humans or rats? In order for a therapeutic index to be a fair estimate both the lethal and effective doses have to be for the one species.
