This line represents the theoretical dose you need of each drug for the additive effect to be the same as just one drug. Do a tail flick test to see what actual combined effect is. Can compare response for different concentrations of the combination. This is the approach used to find combinations of drugs, to identify potency/synergy. Tail flick test just measures spinal cord response. Conotoxins (e. g. ziconotide; w ctx cvid - am336) effective in neuropathic pain & differ in therapeutic index have potential clinical utility in low doses or combination therapy. Cb2 agonists: due to efsicacy & lack of cns side effects development of new cb analogues with fewer psychotropic effects peripherally- active cb agonists that don"t cross bbb.
