Folic Acid Indications Folac is indicated for the treatment of- Pharmacology Folic acid, as it is biochemically inactive, is converted to tetrahydrofolic acid and methyltetrahydrofolate by dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). These folic acid congeners are transported across cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis where they are needed to maintain normal erythropoiesis, synthesize purine and thymidylate nucleic acids, interconvert […]
Flucloxacillin Sodium Indications Fluxin is indicated for the treatment of infections due to Gram-positive organisms, including infections caused by penicillinase producing staphylococci. These indications include: Pharmacology Flucloxacillin is active against Gram-positive organisms including penicillinase producing strains. It has little activity against Gram-negative bacilli. Flucloxacillin acts by inhibiting the formation of cell wall of bacteria. Flucloxacillin […]
Doxycycline Hydrochloride Indications Doxilin is indicated in the following infections caused by susceptible microorganisms: Description Doxilin is a highly active broad-spectrum antibiotic of tetracycline group. It is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, spirochete, mycoplasma, rickettsia and mycobacteria.

Methyldopa Indications Dopegyt is indicated in Hypertension. Pharmacology Methyldopa, or α-methyldopa, is a centrally acting sympatholytic agent and an antihypertensive agent. It is an analog of DOPA (3,4‐hydroxyphenylanine), and it is a prodrug, meaning that the drug requires biotransformation to an active metabolite for therapeutic effects. Methyldopa works by binding to alpha(α)-2 adrenergic receptors as […]
Phenytoin Sodium Indications Diphedan is an anticonvulsant which is used in the treatment of status epilepticus of grandmal type. It may also be used in the prevention and treatment of seizures occur during neurosurgery. Pharmacology Phenytoin acts as an anticonvulsant by increasing efflux or decreasing influx of sodium ions across cell membranes in the motor […]

Pseudoephedrine + Guaiphenasine + Triprolidine Indications This is indicated for the symptomatic relief of upper respiratory tract disorders accompanied by productive cough which benefits from the administration of a nasal decongestant, a histamine H1 receptor antagonist and an expectorant combination. Pharmacology Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant as well as a bronchodilator for the upper respiratory tract, which gives […]
Halcinonide Indications Cinon Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Pharmacology The precise mechanism of action of topical corticosteroids is unclear. However they possess anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions. New research indicates that halcinonide activates MBP (myelin basic protein) expression via smoothened receptor activation. This finding suggests that halcinonide […]
