Rabeprazole : It belongs to the class of antisecretory compounds, the substituted benzimidazoles, that suppress gastric acid secretion by the specific inhibition of the H+/K ATPase enzyme at the secreatory surface of the gastric parietal cell and hence are called proton pump blockers. Indication : For the treartment of active duodenal ulcer. Active benign gastric …
Glucosamine sulphate : Glucosamine sulphate is an amino sugar, which builds up the volume of naturally present glucosamine in the body. The increased of glucosamine level, in turn accelerates the biosynthesis of building blocks of cartilage. Indication : In painful conditions of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, where aspirin and other NSAIDs fail to provide a …
Diacerein: It is an anthrquinone derivative. It inhibits interiukin -1, an important cytokine implicated in osteoarthritis. Diacerein has beneficial effects on the anabolic processes that occur in the cartilage. It increases the production of transforming growth factor – b that triggers chondrocyte proliferation and stimulates the production of coilagen, proteglycans and hyaluroan . Indication : …
Sparfloxacin : It is an aminofluoquinoline and exerts its antibacterial activity via the inhibition of DNA replication of bacteria by inhibiting DNA gyrase activity. Its absorption begins soon after oral administration. The distribution of sparfloxacin in nasal mucosa and sinus muucosa is primarily high. It is metabolized by the liver to an inactive acylglucuronide conjugate. …
