Description Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside used in the management of particularly atrial fibrillation and in heart failure. The principal actions of digoxin are an increase in the force of myocardial contraction (positive inotropic activity) and a reduction in the conductivity of the heart particularly in conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) +node. Digoxin also has […]

Acyclovir is a synthetic purine neucleotide analogue, which acts against human herpes viruses. Description Acyclovir is a synthetic purine neucleotide analogue, which acts against human herpes viruses. The enzyme thymidine kinase (TK) encoded by HSV, VZV and EBV converts acyclovir into acyclovir monophosphate, a neucleotide analogue, which is further converted to diphosphate and triphosphate by […]
Description Meclizine has antiemetic, anticholinergic and antihistaminic properties. It reduces the sensitivity of the labyrinthine apparatus. The action may be mediated through nerve pathways to the vomiting centre (VC) from the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), peripheral nerve pathways or other CNS centres. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vit – B6), either alone or in combination has been used […]
