Abstract: | The use of drugs as countermeasures in the United States and Russian space programs is examined. Pharmacological tools for short and extended space flights are reviewed. Medications flown on the Shuttle are listed. Considerations for the use of pharmacological countermeasures include pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, drug interactions, therapeutic interventions, space motion sickness, the musculoskeletal system, radiation protection, space flight anemia, and cardiovascular disorders. |
