Deflazacort : It is a glucocorticoid. Its antiflamatory and immunosuppressive effects are used in treating a variety of disease and are comparable to other anti inflammatory steroids. Indication : Rheumoid arthritis and juvenile chronic arthritis, Asthma and other airway disease, Pemphigus , Uveities, Nephritic syndrome, Immune suppression in transplantation.
Phenylpherine: It is a frequent constituent of nasal decongestant preparation for topical use. It is a selective a1 against, has negotiable b action and a minor component of indirect action, thus causes vasconstruction. Indication : Nasal congestion
Cetrizine dihydrochloride : It is non sedating anti histamine with potent anti-allergic acton. It posses strong affinityfor histamine H1 receptors, and has no anti- cholinergic and anti serotoninergic effects since it does not cross blood brain barrier It does not cause sedation or interfere with mental alertness or memory function. Indication : Allergic rhinitis,ocular symptoms …
Cinnarizine : It is an antihistamine having additional anticholigeneric, anti-5HT sedative and vasodilator properties. It has been found to modulate calcium fluxes and attenuates vasoconstrictor action of many endogenous, probably by its action on calcium movement. Indications : Improve blood flow to labyrinth and brain stem. Vertigo, Tinnitus, Menieres disease , Loss of memory, Motion …
Calcium : It acts on the capillary wall by regulating the impaired physiological functions increased permeability and decreased resistance. It opposes the breakdown of collgen and reduces plasma and blood hyperviscossity improving blood flow and tissue irrigation . It indirectly increases lymphatic drainage which reduces oedema. Indication : Treatment of varicose veins and post thrombotic …
Strengths 5-Fluorouracil 250 mg/500 mg injections 5-Fluorouracil 250 mg capsules Overview: It is used in the treatment of Cancer. 5-Fluorouracil is converted into fluorodeoxyuridine by Thymidine phosphorylase(TP). Fluorodeoxyuridine is then converted into fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate which is a active metabolite. 5-FU shows its action by inhibiting DNA synthesis and repair through inhibiting thymidylate synthase(TS) which prevents …
Benazepril Benazepril is come under class angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors used primarily in the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure and heart attacks. ACE inhibitors work by preventing conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction which is responsible for building pressure on arteries. Inhibition of enzyme prevents such vasoconstriction activity …
Captopril Captopril is an Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. Main action of angiotensin II is vasoconstriction. ACE inhibitors block angiotensin coverting enzyme activity. Captopril causes both arteriolar and vasodilation which reduces after load and preload. Cardiac output is generally increased and heart rate is reduced. …
Enalapril Enalapril has ACE inhibitor property. It prevents conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II by blocking activity of angiotensin coverting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II is responsible of vasoconstriction. Enalapril prevents this vasoconstriction and prevents increase in blood pressure. Indications: All grades of essential hypertension and renovascular hypertension, adjunct in congestive heart failure etc. Side …
Propranolol is non selective beta adrenergic blocking agent and blocks both Beta-1 and Beta-2 receptors. Beta blockers lower blood pressure in hypertension, they don’t induce postural hypotension, because the alpha adrenoceptors remain functional. Propranolol decreases cardiac output due to its negative inotropic and chronotropic effects. It directly depresses sinoauricular and atriventricular activity. Cardiac output, work …
