Distinguishing between other drugs
editI'm having a lot of trouble distinguishing this drug from glUcosaminoglycan polysulfate and glYcosaminoglycan polysulfate.
- The Drugs.com monograph for Adequan states that the ingredient is polysulfated glycosaminoglycan. However, the page for glUcosaminoglycan polysulfate on Drugs.com claims that it is the main ingredient of Adequan, presumably meaning they are the same. This book says that glUcosaminoglycan polysulfate is the generic name of Arteparon.
- Arteparon is apparently(?) the German, human version of Adequan([1][2]), and quick Google search shows that the main ingredient of Arteparon is glYcosaminoglycan polysulfate.
- The page for chondroitin sulfate on Drugs.com claims that glYcosaminoglycan polysulfate is a synonym, and that it is the main ingredient in Adequan, which it definitely isn't; this source distinguishes chondroitin sulfate from PGAG, as did everything else I read, and notes that PGAG is much larger than chondroitin sulfate.
- It's UNII is 268AW7000T. On that page, glYcosaminoglycan polysulfate is listed as a synonym.
None of the sources I used in the article mentioned any name other than polysulfated glycosaminoglycan for Adequan. What do? —Prof. Squirrel (talk) 22:39, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
