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.
An antimalarial drug that acts on the erythrocyte forms of the pathogens of human malaria. It is effective against pathogens of malaria, resistant to other antimalarial drugs (chloroquine, proguanil, pyrimethamine, combination of pyrimethamine with sulfonamides).
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.
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.
Hydrea - antineoplastic medicine, antimetabolite, slows down DNA synthesis. It is used for treatment of acute and chronic myelogenous leukemia, osteomyelofibrosis, erythremia, essential thrombocythaemia, thrombocytosis associated with myeloproliferative syndrome, lymphogranulomatosis, melanoma, ovarian cancer, horionepitelioma of uterus, tumor of the head and the neck, tumor of brain, an acute lymphoblastic leukosis at children, a colon cancer, a prostate cancer, cancer of a lung, cancer of a neck of uterus (for increase in efficiency of radiation therapy).
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.
Anti-inflammatory gel for joints and muscles is based on plant components. Rumalaya gel is used for pain in the joints, muscles, relieves swelling and inflammation, makes the joints mobile. The gel is used in the treatment of damaged joints. Unlike tablets, it is used localized, thus gives the best result. The medicine is aimed to treat arthritis, polyarthritis, arthrosis, gout, injuries of the musculoskeletal system, bruises, sprains, rheumatic diseases, osteochondrosis, neuritis, and radiculitis.
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.
The drug dilates coronary vessels (mostly arterioles) and causes a significant increase in volumetric blood flow velocity. Increases the content of oxygen in venous blood of coronary sinus and its absorption by myocardium. Promotes the development of collateral coronary circulation, reduction in a systemic vascular resistance, improves microcirculation, has angioprotective action.
Dramamine is an antihistamine drug that reduces the effect of the natural chemical histamine in the body. Dramamine is used to treat or prevent the occurrence of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness.
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.
A selective calcium channel blockers; a derivative of dihydropyridine; has a vasodilating, antihypertensive, antianginal effect. Has a high selective activity against smooth muscle of the arterioles. Prescribed to the patients with hypertension, angina pectoris (voltage, vasospastic, unstable with the ineffectiveness of beta-blockers and nitrates), Raynaud's syndrome (as a symptomatic drug).
Coumadin - anticoagulant of indirect action. It is taken for treatment and prevention of a deep vein thrombosis and embolism of a pulmonary artery, the transitory ischaemic attacks and an ischemic stroke, secondary prevention of myocardial infarction and prevention of tromboembolic episodes after a myocardial infarction, prevention of tromboembolic episodes at patients with fibrillation of auricles, cardiac valve damage or with the fitted prosthesis heart valves.
Aggrenox - the combined antiplatelet agent. There are two active ingredients - acetilsalicylic acid and dipiridamol. Action of such combination is caused by different biochemical mechanisms. Aggrenox is prescribed for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke which proceeds as thrombosis. Medicine is also effective for prevention of transitory ischaemic attack.
