Cardura is consumed to rebalance the blood pressure within hypertension, as well as to cure benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This drug was not distinguished by a negative effect on the metabolism, which was often recorded in analogs. That's why Cardura earned positive reviews from people suffering from cardiovascular insufficiency, asthma, diabetes.
Florinef is a brand name of Fludrocortisone. It is a corticosteroid produced to treat adrenogenital syndrome (also called Apera-Galle syndrome), Addison's disease, orthostatic hypotension, cerebral salt wasting syndrome, and adrenal insufficiency. The drug replenishes the deficiency of hormones of the adrenal cortex. 1 tablet contains 0.1 mg of fludrocortisone acetate. It participates in the metabolism, including mineral and carbohydrate one. The drug causes the retention of sodium ions and promotes the excretion of potassium.
Pharmacological influence of Calan is explained by braking of a flow of calcium ions through the slowed-down calcic tubules of cellular covers of smooth muscle structure of vessels and a cardiac muscle. Calan is prescribed if it was diagnosed paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (except WPW syndrome), sinus tachycardia, premature atrial contraction, blinking and atrial flutter, stenocardia (inc. stress, postinfarction), arterial hypertension, hypertensive crisis, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Trandate - pills, mainly used in hypertension, it is an ideal means for lowering blood pressure.The rapid action of the active substance, Labetalol, distinguishes the drug from other similar drugs according to indications. The drug has the fastest antihypertensive effect.
Betapace - beta adrenoblocker, antiarrhytmic medicine. It is taken for treatment of ventricular arrhythmia, tachycardia, supraventricular arrhythmia, tachycardia at thyrotoxicosis, angina of effort, especially at combination with tachyarrhythmias, arterial hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, prolapse of the mitral valve, prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction at stable condition of the patient.
Capoten suppresses activity of angiotensin-converting-enzyme therefore angiotensin-I turns into angiotensin II - substance which has strong vasoconstrictive action. Capoten reduces secretion of Aldosteronum in suprarenal cortex, at the same time the delay of sodium and water in an organism decreases. Capoten slows down process of bradykinin destruction and promotes increase of E2 prostaglandin, and also nitrogen oxide that causes vasodilating action. Thanks to these effects it is decreased the increased arterial pressure, the general peripheric resistance decreases, pressure in the right auricle, in a small circle of blood circulation decreases and cordial emission increases.
Cilostazol - reversibly oppresses aggregation of thrombocytes caused by various incentives, surpassing in this respect Аspirin, Dipiridamolum, Тiclopidine and Pentoxifylline. It also inhibits formation of arterial blood clots and proliferation of smooth muscle cells, possesses vasodilating 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Calcort is a steroid that reduces inflammation in the body.
Calcort is used to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy in adults and children who are at least 5 years old.
Calcort is not a cure for muscular dystrophy, but this medicine may improve muscle strength and slow the progression of disability.
Calcort may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Ascorbic Acid has an important value for life activity of an organism. Participates in regulation of oxidation-reduction processes, carbohydrate metabolism, blood coagulation, normal permeability of capillaries (of smallest vessels), formations of steroid hormones, synthesis of collagen and procollagen. Increases resistance of an organism to infections. It is prescribed at avitaminosis and hypovitaminosis of C, hemorrhagic diathesis, intoxication and diseases of GIT.
