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.
Anticholinesterase agent; having a cholinesterase effect through a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibition and enhancing the action of acetylcholine. Improves neuromuscular transmission, increases the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, increases the tone of urinary bladder, bronchi, the secretion of exocrine glands. Prescribed for myasthenia gravis, postoperative intestinal atony, atonic constipation, bladder atony, post-traumatic movement disorders; flaccid paralysis; residual explication of polio, encephalitis, violation of emptying the bladder after gynecological surgery and childbirth.
Vastarel - the main substance of the drug is trimetazidine, which is used for the prevention of angina attacks in IHD, as well as in vertigo caused by violations of cerebral circulation, Meniere's disease, noise in the ears. It is believed that the beneficial effect of trimetazidine in myocardial ischemia is mainly associated with its antioxidant and antihypoxic properties and cytoprotective effects on the function of cardiomyocytes.
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.
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.
Combined oral contraceptives block the action of gonadotropins. The first effect of these drugs is aimed to inhibit ovulation. The drug leads to modifications in cervical mucus. Thus, it is strenuous for sperm to pass to the uterine cavity and affect the uterine lining, thereby reducing the possibility of implementation. It helps to prevent pregnancy. Moreover, oral contraceptives prevent pregnancy and have a number of advantages. They have an impact on the cycle of menses and it becomes regular. The amount of blood loss at the time of menstruation is shorter as well as the loss of iron, dysmenorrhea is rare.
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.
Combivir - the antiviral combined medicine. Lamivudin and zidovudine are highly effective selective inhibitors of HIV-1 and HIV-2. Lamivudin is a synergist of a zidovudine concerning oppression of replication of HIV.
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.
An antituberculosis drug which acts bacteriostatically; it enters the actively growing cells of mycobacteria by inhibiting RNA synthesis, interferes with cellular metabolism, causing cessation of reproduction and death of bacteria. Active only in relation to the intensively dividing cells. Inhibits the growth and reproduction of tuberculosis mycobacterium resistant to streptomycin, isoniazid, PASK, ethionamide, kanamycin. In the conditions of monotherapy, the resistance of mycobacteria develops fast enough.
Cordarone - antiarrhytmic drug of III class (repolarization inhibitor). Possesses also anti-anginal, coronarodilator, alpha and beta, adrenoceptor blocking and hypotensive action. The anti-anginal effect of Cordarone is caused by coronarodilator and anti-adrenergic action, reduction of need of a myocardium for oxygen.
