Colospa - myotropic spasmolytic with selective effect on unstriated muscles of digestive tract. Eliminates a spasm, without influencing a normal peristaltics of intestines. Unlike cholinolytic medicine, Colospa does not affect at muscarinic receptor and does not cause characteristic of antispasmodics with muscarinic receptor action of side effects (feeling of dryness in a mouth, vision disorders, an urination delay) that allows for patients to take it at prostatauxe or glaucoma. Taking of Colospa is not followed by development of reflex hypotonia of intestines.
Pamelor is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA, tricyclic antidepressants) of the second generation. It is used in the treatment of some major depressive disorder and nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) in children. In addition, the drug is sometimes used for the treatment of chronic diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain and migraine, and the lability in certain neurological diseases.
Avalide is an effective medicine which aim is to lower the blood pressure. Hypertension provokes serious diseases as strokes, heart attack, and problems with the kidney. An angiotensin receptor blocker and diuretic are the basic components of the drug. The first one relaxes the walls of the blood vessels letting the blood move freely without the pressure. The second component stimulates urination so that a patient can get rid of extra salt and water which also provoke high blood pressure.
Pharmacological influence of Calan is explained by braking of a flow of calcium ions through the slowed-down calcic tubules of cellular covers of smooth muscle structure of vessels and a cardiac muscle. Calan is prescribed if it was diagnosed paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (except WPW syndrome), sinus tachycardia, premature atrial contraction, blinking and atrial flutter, stenocardia (inc. stress, postinfarction), arterial hypertension, hypertensive crisis, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Actonel, which is risedronate - is prescribed for treatment and prevention of osteoporosis (post-menopausal, caused by corticosteroids), Paget disease. Risedronate binds to substance of a bone tissue, inhibits its resorption mediated by osteoclasts and reduces a bone turn (does not break process of formation of a bone). It increases the biomechanical strength and volume of bone mass. The maximum decrease in a bone turn is observed in 3-6 months, remaining at the same level during a course of treatment.
Eulexin - antineoplastic medicine, anti-androgen. Competitively blocks interaction of androgens with their cellular receptors; interferes with manifestation of biological effects of male sex hormones in androgensensetive organs. It is taken for palliative treatment of cancer.
Aceon, which is perindopril - is prescribed at hypertensia, stroke prevention, chronic cardiac failure. Medicine has a vasorelaxant action, it reduces an afterload due to TPR relief, the medicine reduces resistance in vessels of lungs. It is observed increase of the minute volume of myocardium and increase tolerance of myocardium to strain. The medicine has the natriuretic effect and cardioprotection action. The effect of hypotension is observed in 60 minutes after taking the medicine. Arterial pressure loss isn't followed by development of tachycardia. The maximum therapeutic effect is observed in 4-8 hours, the effect is long-term (up to 24 hours). Perindopril improves brain, kidneys, and myocardium circulation, it reduces the needs of cardiomyocytes for oxygen at CHD.
Betapace - beta adrenoblocker, antiarrhytmic medicine. It is taken for treatment of ventricular arrhythmia, tachycardia, supraventricular arrhythmia, tachycardia at thyrotoxicosis, angina of effort, especially at combination with tachyarrhythmias, arterial hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, prolapse of the mitral valve, prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction at stable condition of the patient.
Enzymes for inward, affect edema of instigative and non-inflammatory origin (traumatic, sports). Animal studies have shown the anti-inflammatory characteristics of Benzac and mixed enzyme preparations in oral administration. In numerous animal studies, bromelain and trypsin suppressed platelet aggregation. Healthy volunteers who received a combination these substances were not observed to have a violation of the system of the ability of blood to thicken.
An antispasmodic drug, which removes pain and reduces the tone of smooth muscles: gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, uterus, it also relaxes the detrusor (direct antispasmodic and m-anticholinergic effect). Increases bladder capacity, reduces the frequency of detrusor contractions, hinders urination. Well tolerated when appointed for a long term. Used in neurogenic bladder (including detrusor hyperreflexia, multiple sclerosis or spina bifida), urinary incontinence (of idiopathic origin), nocturnal enuresis (in children older than 5 years).
Fosamax - drug for treatment of Paget disease, osteoporosis at women in a postmenopause, osteoporosis at men, a hypercalcemia at malignant tumors. Active alendronate ingredient - non-hormonal specific inhibitor of an osteoclastic bone resorption, suppresses osteoclasts. Taking of Fosamax stimulates bone formation, recovers positive balance between a resorption and recovery of a bone, progressively increases the mineral density of bones, promotes formation of a normal bone tissue with normal histologic structure.
Capoten suppresses activity of angiotensin-converting-enzyme therefore angiotensin-I turns into angiotensin II - substance which has strong vasoconstrictive action. Capoten reduces secretion of Aldosteronum in suprarenal cortex, at the same time the delay of sodium and water in an organism decreases. Capoten slows down process of bradykinin destruction and promotes increase of E2 prostaglandin, and also nitrogen oxide that causes vasodilating action. Thanks to these effects it is decreased the increased arterial pressure, the general peripheric resistance decreases, pressure in the right auricle, in a small circle of blood circulation decreases and cordial emission increases.
Cilostazol - reversibly oppresses aggregation of thrombocytes caused by various incentives, surpassing in this respect Аspirin, Dipiridamolum, Тiclopidine and Pentoxifylline. It also inhibits formation of arterial blood clots and proliferation of smooth muscle cells, possesses vasodilating action.
Trileptal is used to treat simple and complex forms of partial epileptic seizures that have secondary generalization (possibly without it) beginning at the age of one month; generalized tonic-clonic forms of epileptic seizures in patients from two years of age. Reviews about Trileptal have a positive connotation, which allows to determine its effectiveness in use, thanks to patients who have experience of taking the drug.
A lipid-lowering agent. Reversibly inhibits HMG-COA reductase, inhibits the cholesterol synthesis at the stage of mevinolinic acid and moderately reduces its intracellular concentration. The indications for the drug use include: primary hypercholesterolemia mainly of IIa and IIb types, under the ineffective diet treatment in patients with increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia combined with hypertriglyceridemia; prevention of coronary artery disease. The drug decreases the risk of myocardial infarction, the need for revascularization of the myocardium, deaths from cardiovascular system diseases.
Cardizem ER - extended release tablets with diltiazem. Antiarrhytmic action is caused by learned suppression of transport of Ca2+ in heart tissues that leads to lengthening of the effective refractory period and delay of carrying out in AV nodosity. Hypotensive action is caused by dilatation of resistive vessels and decrease in TPR. Extent of decrease in arterial blood pressure is correlated with its initial level. It has the minimum influence on smooth muscles of GIT. During long (8 months) therapies tolerance does not develop.
Isoptin is a calcium ion antagonist of the phenylalkylamine group. It improves myocardial perfusion, eliminates coronary spasm, reduces myocardial oxygen demand. It is used for diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Differin is a white gel or cream. The drug is used to treat acne. It can also be used to combat comedones. Differin monotherapy is helpful in case of minor acne. For the treatment of severe and moderate degree of acne, the drug is used in conjunction with systemic drugs (antiandrogens, antibacterial agents). The drug is well tolerated. It rarely causes irritation, so its use is good even for those who have sensitive skin with acne. The gel is more suitable for oily skin and the cream suits better for dry skin.
