Nitazoxanide Indications Proxa-A is indicated for the treatment of diarrhea caused by Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica. Pharmacology Nitazoxanide is a synthetic antiprotozoal agent for oral administration. The antiprotozoal activity of Nitazoxanide is believed to be interference with the Pyruvate Ferredoxin Oxido Reductase (PFOR) enzyme-dependant electron transfer reaction. This reaction is essential for […]
Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Isopropyl alcohol Indications Composition This preparation contains- Pharmacology At physiologic pH, chlorhexidine salts dissociate and release the positively charged chlorhexidine cation. The bactericidal effect is a result of the binding of this cationic molecule to negatively charged bacterial cell walls. At low concentrations of chlorhexidine, this results in a bacteriostatic effect; at […]
Thiamine Hydrochloride Indications Onevit is specifically used in the treatment of the various manifestations of thiamine deficiency such as Beriberi and Wernick’s encephalopathy, neuritis associated with pregnancy and pellagra. Supplementary Onevit may be indicated prophylactically in conditions where there is low dietary intake or impaired gastro intestinal absorption of thiamine (e.g. alcohol) or where requirements […]
Omeprazole Indications Omrazol is indicated for the treatment of- Pharmacology Omeprazole, a substituted benzimidazole, is an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. It inhibits gastric acid secretion by blocking hydrogen-potassium-adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase) enzyme system in the gastric parietal cell. After oral administration, the onset of the antisecretory effect occurs within one hour, with the maximum effect […]
Amlodipine Besilate Indications Essential hypertension: Nopidin is efficacious as monotherapy in the treatment of hypertension. It may be used in combination with other antihypertensive agents. Angina pectoris: Nopidin is indicated for the treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris and is efficacious as monotherapy. It may be used in combination with other antianginal agents. Vasospastic angina: […]
Pantoprazole Sodium Indications Nixpan is indicated where suppression of acid secretion has therapeutic benefit; i.e Pharmacology Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that suppresses the final step in gastric acid production by covalently binding to the H+/K+ATPase enzyme system at the surface of the gastric parietal cell. This effect leads to inhibition of both basal […]
Bromhexine Hydrochloride Indications Mucoxin is indicated in the treatment of respiratory tract disorders associated with productive cough. This include- Pharmacology Bromhexine Hydrochloride is an oral mucolytic agent. It disrupts the structure of acid mucopolysaccharide fibres in mucoid sputum and produces less viscous mucus, which makes easier the expectoration. It is rapidly & completely absorbed from […]
Ambroxol Hydrochloride Indications This is indicated in- Pharmacology Ambroxol is the active metabolite of bromhexine and it has been proven that this metabolite possesses a greater bronchosecretolytic effect than bromhexine. It improves sputum rheology by hydrating mechanism leading to liquefaction of mucus in the lumen of respiratory tract, thus facilitating expectoration of mucus and reducing […]
Miconazole Nitrate Indications Mitigal oral gel is indicated- Mitigal cream is indicated in dermatomycoses, e.g.: In addition miconazole cream has a very rapid alleviating effect on the pruritis which frequently accompanies infection. Pharmacology Pharmacodynamics: Miconazole possesses an antifungal activity against the common dermatophytes and yeasts as well as an antibacterial activity against certain gram-positive bacilli […]
Metronidazole Indications Metra is indicated in the treatment of following diseases: Pharmacology Metronidazole is a member of the imidazole class of antibacterial drug and is classified therapeutically as an antiprotozoal agent. The 5-nitro group of Metronidazole is reduced by anaerobes metabolically. Studies have demonstrated that the reduced form of this drug interacts with DNA and […]
