Oral bioavailability of the drug is discussed in AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY 166 (4): 1163-1170 APR 1992. However, I don't have access to the full text. If anyone does, could they please update the information accordingly? GeeJo(t)(c) 23:23, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Dehydroepiandrosterone
There is an article already on dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, - the generic name this hormone is commonly referred to- that contains more information. Prasterone appears to be a brand name and this article appears to endorse somewhat uncritically unsubstantiated claims. Wouldn't it be better if all this information is in one article?

You're right of course. I've been going along with the names given in the ATC system as a guide, as they are generally both non-proprietary and the most commonly used, and in this case, I believe Prasterone is in fact the INN. However, I should have been more thorough in checking for existing articles under synonyms, and once the article is off the main page I'll look into adding what information exists in this page that could be merged over with DHEA and turning this into a redirect. As to endorsing uncritically unsubstantiated claims, I simply state that studies have been conducted in these areas, which they have. GeeJo(t)(c) 07:46, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Proposed merge
Support. --Arcadian 11:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Done - it's been almost an year since it was noted (See above). I don't know about INN, but DHEA has been around for ages and i just came across Prasterone. - Boris 17:19, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
