A Tetra 1% 5 gm Ointment
A Tetra 1%DESCRIPTIONA-TETRA (Tetracycline) is a semi-synthetic Tetracycline produced from Chlortetracycline. It is an antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces aureo-faciens. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic which is active against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Tetracycline has its main mechanism of action on protein synthesis, and an energy-dependent active transport system pumps the drug through the inner cytoplasmic membrane of the bacteria. Once inside the bacterial cell, Tetracycline inhibits protein synthesis by binding specifically to 30S ribosome. The drug appears to prevent access of aminoacyl tRNA to the acceptor site on the mRNA-ribosome complex. This prevents the addition of amino acid to the growing peptide chain.COMPOSITIONCapsule : Each capsule contains Tetracycline Hydrochloride BP 500 mg.Tablet : Each tablet contains Tetracycline Hydrochloride BP 500 mg.INDICATIONSA-TETRA is a bacteriostatic antibiotic with a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria, and also has some anti-protozoal activities. It remains the choice in the treatment of Chlamydia, Rickettsia, Mycoplasma, Brucella and some Spirochaetal infections. A number of Gram-negative and Grampositive pathogens can be treated with Tetracycline. It has been given long term in the management of severe acne.When Penicillin is contraindicated, the Tetracyclines are alternative drugs in the treatment of infection.DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONCapsule : The usual dose is 1 to 2 g/day (2-4 capsules) divided in 2 or 4 equal doses depending on the severity of the infection, preferably one hour before or two hours after meals with a glass of water.Tablet : 1-1/2 tablet (250-500 mg) should be taken after 6 hours. Preferably one hour before or two hours after meal with a glass of water.OR AS DIRECTED BY THE PHYSICIAN.SIDE EFFECTSCommon side effects are gastro-intestinal disturbances including nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. These are common especially with high doses and most are attributed to irritation of the mucosa. Other effects that have been reported are dry mouth, glossitis and discoloration of the tongue,stomatitis and dyspepsia. Benign intracranial hypertension, pancreatitis and pseudomembranous colitis are reported.CONTRAINDICATIONSTetracycline is contraindicated in patients hypersensitive to any of its group. It should be avoided in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. It is also contraindicated in severe renal impairment, if given, doses should be reduced.PRECAUTIONSCare should be taken if Tetracycline is given to patients with impaired liver function.Potential hepatotoxic drugs including Erythromycin, Chloram-phenicol, Isoniazid, Sulfonamide etc. should not be given concomitantly. The risk of nephrotoxicity may be increased if given with Methoxyflurane or other potentially nephrotoxic medication. Care is advisable in patients with Myasthenia gravis, who may be at risk of neuromuscular blockade.WARNINGSThe use of Tetracycline hydrochloride during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy and childhood to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth.DRUG INTERACTIONSIt has been reported that Tetracycline in combination with Methoxyflurane have resulted in nephrotoxicity.

A-Zyme 325 mg Tablet, 1 strip
A-Zyme 325 mg Tablet, 1 stripDESCRIPTIONA-Zyme (Pancreatin) is a preparation of Pancreatin, an extract from mammalian pancreas containing enzymes with Amylase, Protease and Lipase activity. It is designed to disintegrate in the alkaline medium of the duodenum where it releases the active enzyme components of Pancreatin (Amylase, Protease and Lipase). Amylase hydrolyzes dietary starch to yield maltose, maltoriose and adextrin. Protease cleaves peptide bonds in the center of proteins and polypeptides and forms amino acids and oligopeptides. Lipase hydrolyzes dietary triglycerides forming two molecules of fatty acid and a molecule of betamonoglyceride. It converts not less than 25 times its weight of starch into soluble carbohydrates and not less than 25 times its weight of casein into proteoses within 5 mins. (equivalent to 150 times in 30 mins).COMPOSITIONEach enteric-film-coated tablet contains 325 mg of Pancreatin BP that provides not less than the following enzymatic activityAmylase 7800 units Protease 455 units Lipase 6500 unitsINDICATIONSA-Zyme is employed for the treatment of patients with● Chronic pancreatitis● Cystic fibrosis/Mucoviscidosis● Following partial or complete pancreatectomy● Total gastrectomy● Steatorrhea● Somatostatinoma● Celiac disease and● Other conditions associated with pancreatic insufficiency.DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION2-3 tablets to be swallowed whole with little water immediately after or during meal.OR AS DIRECTED BY THE PHYSICIAN.SIDE EFFECTSThe most frequent side effects are gastrointestinal including nausea, vomiting and abdominal discomfort. Buccal and perianal soreness may occur, particularly in infants. Hypersensitivity reactions manifested by sneezing, lacrimation or skin rashes have been reported.CONTRAINDICATIONSPancreatin is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug.PRECAUTIONSPatients known to be allergic to animal protein should be treated with caution.USE IN PREGNANCY AND LACTATIONPancreatin should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Pancreatin is administered to a nursing mother.DRUG INTERACTIONSAlkaline media will rupture the enteric coating. As such to prevent bursting out of the content in the stomach Pancreatin should not be used concurrently with antacid.OVERDOSAGEExcessive dosage may produce a laxative effect.

Acelex 250 mg Capsule
AcelexIndicationsCephalexin is indicated for the treatment of the following infections when caused by susceptible organisms.Respiratory tract infections: Acute and chronic bronchitis and infected bronchiectasis.Genito-urinary tract infections: Acute and chronic nephritis, cystitis, urethritis and prostatitis, prophylaxis of recurrent urinary tract infections.Skin and soft tissue infections: Caused by staphylococci and/or streptococci.Ear, Nose and Throat infections: Otitis media, mastoiditis, sinusitis, follicular tonsillitis and pharyngitis.Bone infections: Caused by staphylococci and/or P. mirabilis.PharmacologyCephalexin is a semisynthetic analogue of Cephalosporin C. It kills bacteria by interfering in the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Peptidoglycan is a heteropolymeric structure that provides the cell wall with mechanical stability. The final stage in the synthesis of peptidoglycan involves the completion of the cross-linking and the terminal glycine residue of the Pentaglycine Bridge is linked to the fourth residue of the pentapeptide (d-alanin). The transpeptidase enzyme that performs this step is inhibited by penicillins and cephalosporins. As a result the bacterial cell wall is weakened, the cell swells and then ruptures. Cephalexin is a first generation cephalosporin that is active by mouth.Dosage & AdministrationAdult:The usual dose is 250 mg to 500 mg every 6 hour.For skin and soft tissue infections, streptococcal pharyngitis and uncomplicated cystitis, in patients over 15 years of age: 500 mg of the drug may be administered every 12 hour.In severe or deep seated infections the dose can be increased up to 3 g to 6 g daily.Children: The dosage range is 25-100 mg/kg/day in divided doses to a maximum of 4 g dailyChildren’s Weight Recommended Dose:10 kg (22 Ibs): 62.5 mg to 125 mg qid or 125 mg to 250 mg bid20 kg (44 Ibs): 125 mg to 250 mg qid or 250 mg to 500 mg bid40 kg (88 Ibs): 250 mg to 500 mg qid or 500 mg to 1 g bidFor streptococcal pharyngitis, skin and soft tissue infections and in patients over 1 year of age the total daily dose may be divided and administered every 12 hour. In the therapy of otitis media 75-100 mg/kg/day in four divided doses may be required. In the treatment of β haemolytic streptococcal infections a therapeutic dosage of the drug should be given at least for 10 days.ContraindicationsCephalen is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the cephalosporin group of antibiotics.Side EffectsSide effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort. Symptoms of pseudomembranous colitis may appear either during or after antibiotic treatment. Skin rash, angio oedema, rise in serum aminotransferases, eosinophilia, neutropenia have been reported very rarely. Superinfection with resistant micro organisms, particularly candida may follow the treatment.Pregnancy & LactationPregnancy Category B. Cefalexin may be used during pregnancy when it is considered essential. Cefalexin is found in the milk of nursing mothers, hence caution should be taken when it is administered to nursing mothers.Precautions & WarningsCefalexin should be given with caution in patients with renal impairment. Under such condition, careful clinical observation should be made because safe dosage may be lower than the usually recommended. The urine of patients receiving Cefalexin may give a false positive reaction for glucose with copper reduction reagent. Positive results to Coombs’ test have been reported. Although there is no evidence of teratogenicity in animal tests, Cefalexin may be used during pregnancy when it is considered essential. Cefalexin is found in the milk of nursing mothers, hence caution should be taken when it is administered to nursing mothers.Storage ConditionsShould be stored in cool and dry place...

Acemox 250 mg Tablet, 1 strip
Acemox 250 mg Tablet, 1 stripDESCRIPTIONACEMOX (Acetazolamide) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. This enzyme catalyzes the reversible reaction involving the hydration of carbon-di-oxide and the dehydration of carbonic acid. In the eye, this inhibitory action of ACEMOX (Acetazolamide) decreases the secretion of aqueous humor and results in a drop in intraocular pressure, a reaction considered desirable in case of glaucoma. Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the central nervous system appears to retard abnormal paroxysmal and excessive discharge from central nervous system neurons. So, ACEMOX (Acetazolamide) is also used as an adjuvant in the treatment of epilepsy.COMPOSITIONTablet : Each tablet contains Acetazolamide BP 250 mg.INDICATIONSOpen angle glaucoma, secondary glaucoma and as an adjuvant in the treatment of edema and epilepsy.DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONAdults : Initially 1 tablet 4 times daily. Dose should be adjusted later with individual need. Children : ½-2 tablets in divided doses. In intraocular pressure: 1 tablet 6 hourly. In acute condition, dose should be started with 2 tablets followed by 1 tablet 6 hourly.OR AS DIRECTED BY THE PHYSICIAN.SIDE EFFECTSHeadache, drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, anorexia, polyurea, insomnia, gastrointestinal upset.CONTRAINDICATIONSAcetazolamide is contraindicated in cases of marked kidney and liver diseases or dysfunction, in situations in which sodium and or potassium blood serum levels decreased. Acetazolamide is also contraindicated in patients with chronic noncongestive angle closure glaucoma.PRECAUTIONSThere are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women and neonates.

Aclobet 0.05% Ointment 10 gm tubeCOMPOSITIONAclobet Ointment : Each gram contains Clobetasol Propionate BP 0.5 mg.Aclobet Cream : Each gram contains Clobetasol Propionate BP 0.5 mg.PHARMACOLOGYClobetasol Propionate is a highly potent topical steroid. It has both local anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity. Clobetasol, as the Propionate salt, is only used topically on the skin and its effects are limited to the local anti-inflammatory activity. When given systemically it has standard glucocorticoid activity and binds with high affinity to the glucocorticoid receptor. Clobetasol Propionate inhibits the adherence of neutrophils and monocyte-macrophages to the capillary endothelial cells inflammed area. Clobetasol blocks the effect of macrophage migration inhibitory factor and decreases the activation of plasminogen to plasmin.INDICATIONSAclobet is indicated in :• Initial control of all forms of hyperacute eczema in all age groups (in children for no longer than a few days).• Chronic hyperkeratotic eczema of the hands and feet and patches of chronic lichen simplex.• Chronic hyperkeratotic psoriasis of any area of the body.• Severe acute photosensitivity.• Hypertrophic lichen planus.• Localized bullous disorders.• Keloid scarring.• Pretibial myxoedema.• Vitiligo.• Suppression of reaction after cryotherapy.DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONRoute of AdministrationApply sparingly to the affected area once or twice daily until improvement occurs. As with other highly active topical steroid preparations, therapy should be discontinued when control is achieved. If a longer course is necessary, it is recommended that treatment should not be continued for more than four weeks without the patients condition being observed. Repeated short courses of Aclobet may be used to control exacerbations. If continuous steroid treatment is necessary a less potent preparation should be used. In very resistant lesions, especially where there is hyperkeratosis, the anti-inflammatory effects of Aclobet can be enhanced, if necessary, by occluding the treatment area with polythene film. Only overnight occlusion is usually adequate to bring about a satisfactory response. Thereafter, improvement can usually be maintained by application without occlusion.CONTRAINDICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONClobetasol Propionate is contraindicated in :• Cutaneous infections such as impetigo, tinea corporis and herpes simplex.• Infestations such as scabies.• Neonates.• Acne Vulgaris.• Rosacea.• Gravitational ulceration.Long term continuous therapy with Clobetasol Propionate should be avoided, particularly in infants and children, in whom adrenal suppression occurs readily. If Clobetasol Propionate is required for use in children, it is recommended that the treatment should be reviewed on weekly basis. It should be noted that the infant’s napkin might act asocclusive dressing. The face more than other area of the body, may exhibit atrophic changes after prolonged treatment with potent topical corticosteroids. This must be borne in mind when treating facial conditions which warrants use of Clobetasol Propionate and frequent observation of the patient is important.SIDE EFFECTSCommon side effects : Provided the weekly dosage is less then 50 g in adults, any pituitary adrenal suppression is likely to be transient with a rapid return to normal values once the short course of steroid therapy has ceased. The same applies to children given proportionate dosage. Use of occlusive dressings increases the absorption of topical corticosteroids. Prolonged and intensive treatment with a highly active corticosteroid preparation may cause atrophic changes, such as thinning, striae and dilatation of the superficial blood vessels, particularly when occlusive dressings are used or where skin folds are involved.Rare side effects :USE IN PREGNANCY & LACTATIONClobetasol Propionate should be avoided in pregnant women. Mothers using large amounts of the drug should be aware of potential excretion in milk.USE IN CHILDREN & ADOLESCENTDRUG INTERACTIONWith medicine :With food & others :OVER DOSEAcute overdose is very unlikely to occur.

Acmegra 100 mg Tablet
Acmegra 100 mg TabletIndicationsSildenafil Citrate is indicated for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction.PharmacologySildenafil Citrate belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors. It works by helping to relax the blood vessels of penis, allowing blood to flow into penis. The physiologic mechanism of erection of the penis involves release of nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum during sexual stimulation. NO then activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, which results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), producing smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum and allowing inflow of blood. When sexual stimulation causes local release of NO, inhibition of PDE-5 by sildenafil causes increased levels of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation and inflow of blood to the corpus cavernosum. Sildenafil at recommended doses has no effect in the absence of sexual stimulation.InteractionInhibitors of CYP3A4 such as cimetidine and erythromycin are likely to reduce sildenafil clearance. CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampicin may decrease the plasma concentrations of sildenafil. Symptomatic hypotension when used with α-blockers. Plasma concentrations are increased by ritonavir.ContraindicationsSildenafil was shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates and its administration to patients who are using organic nitrates, either regularly and or intermittently, in any form is therefore contraindicated.Side EffectsLike all medicines, Sildenafil can cause side effects although not everybody gets them.The side effects reported in association with the use of Sildenafil are usually mild to moderate and of a short duration. All medicines including Sildenafil can cause allergic reactions.Contact with doctors immediately if experiences any of the following symptoms after taking Sildenafil: sudden wheeziness, difficulty in breathing or dizziness, swelling of the eyelids, face, lips or throat. Common side effect includes headache, facial flushing, indigestion, effects on vision, light sensitivity, blurred vision or reduced, stuffy nose and dizziness. Uncommon side effect includes vomiting, skin rash, bleeding at the back of the eye, red eyes, eye pain, double vision, abnormal sensation in the eye, irregular or rapid heartbeat, muscle pain, feeling sleepy, reduced sense of touch, vertigo, ringing in the ears, nausea, dry mouth, chest pain & feeling tired.Overdose EffectsIn studies with healthy volunteers of single doses up to 800 mg, adverse events were similar to those seen at lower doses but incidence rates and severities were increased. In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be adopted as required. Renal dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as sildenafil is highly bound to plasma proteins and it is not eliminated in the urine...
