Autobiography of a Drug
Initial Post
Select a drug that you have studied this week and write its autobiography, including some fun details along with the mechanism of action. Please see the example below:
Autobiography of a Drug
Hello everyone! I was first synthesized in 1985 by Dr. Bruce Roth. I did not get approved by the FDA until 1996. I became the best-selling drug of all time in the world, netting more than $125 billion in sales over a 14.5-year period. I work by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme found in the liver that plays a role in producing cholesterol. Several years later in the mid-2000’s, I was shown to contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes in some populations. The most common side effects that I cause are joint pain, diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, hyperglycemia, and muscle pains.
Who am I?
You should not use the name of the drug in the post. Your classmate will guess the name of the drug and justify the guess in their response post.
