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.
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.
Differin is a white gel or cream. The drug is used to treat acne. It can also be used to combat comedones. Differin monotherapy is helpful in case of minor acne. For the treatment of severe and moderate degree of acne, the drug is used in conjunction with systemic drugs (antiandrogens, antibacterial agents). The drug is well tolerated. It rarely causes irritation, so its use is good even for those who have sensitive skin with acne. The gel is more suitable for oily skin and the cream suits better for dry skin.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kemadrin is a medicinal substance similar in its effect to atropine; It is used to reduce tremor and rigidity of muscles in Parkinsonism.
ERYC capsules contain enteric-coated pellets of erythromycin base for oral administration.
Erythromycin is indicated in the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated organisms in the diseases listed below:
Coversyl is ACE inhibitor. It eliminates arterial hypertension, by means of disturbance of formation of angiotensin 2 and stopping of its narrowing impact on arterial vessels. At long treatment the drug recovers elasticity of big vessels and hypertrophy of a left ventricle decreases. At heart failure the medicine reduces a myocardium hypertrophy.
is given to patients for treating severe acne that do not respond to other medicines
BCCC; a derivative of diphenylalkylamine. Has antianginal, anti-arrhythmic and hypotensive effect. The antianginal effect is associated with both direct action on the myocardium and with the effect on peripheral hemodynamics. It is prescribed with stenocardia, supraventricular tachycardia, sinus tachycardia, ciliary tachyarrhythmia, atrial flutter, atrial extrasystole, arterial hypertension, GOKMP, primary hypertension in the "small" circle of the circulation.
Caduet consists of Amlodipine besylate and atorvastatin calcium. Caduet has a double mechanism of action; action of amlodipin as dihydropyridinic antagonist of calcium and for suppression of atorvastatin HMG-CoA reductase. It is taken for prevention of cardiovascular events at patients with hypertension, with three concurrent factors of cardiovascular risk, with cholesterol level from normal to moderately raised, without clinical manifestations of ischemic heart disease and also when according to the existing recommendations about treatment the combined use of amlodipin and low dose of atorvastatin is deemed appropriate.
Dulcolax - purgative. Causes irritation of the receptor of bowels, exerts direct impact at mucous membrane of intestines, strengthening its peristaltics and increasing secretion of slime in a large intestine. It is effective at hypotonic and colonic inertia for regulation of fecal matter. Sometimes it is taken at preparation for surgeries, instrumental examinationand and radiological researches.
Epitol - mood stabilizing agent and antiepileptic medicine. It is effective for treatment of epilepsy (excepting petit mal), maniacal conditions, prevention of maniac-depressive frustration, alcoholic abstinence, neuralgia of trigeminal and glossopalatine nerves, diabetic neuropathy.
Zerit - treatment of infection caused by HIV, with severe clinical manifestations and ineffectiveness or intolerance of zidovudine, and other antiretroviral drugs. The nucleoside analogue of thymidine is phosphorylated by cellular enzymes to its active form - stavudine triphosphate. Suppresses reverse transcriptase of HIV, cellular DNA polymerases (beta and gamma), inhibits the synthesis of viral and mitochondrial DNA. It is active against HIV-1.
