Astelin belongs to antihistamines which purpose is to block histamines in the human organism. It’s a spray that deletes nasal congestion, itching, and sneezing. The medicine is effective in case of infection, inflammation, and allergic reaction which result in itching, stuffy, and runny nose. Medics usually prescribe it for adults and children above five (in case of seasonal allergy) and above twelve (in case of vasomotor rhinitis that constricts and dilates a vein, artery, or capillary in the nasal cavity).
Vasotec- an antihypertensive drug based on the action of the active ingredient Enalapril, whose mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of the activity of the angiotensin-converting enzyme, leading to a decrease in the formation of the vasoconstrictor factor - angiotensin II and simultaneously to the activation of the formation of kinin and prostacyclin possessing a vasodilating action.
Aristocort - glucocorticoid drug (the adrenal hormone influencing carbohydrate and protein metabolism). Renders prominent antiinflammatory, antiallergic and immunodepressive (suppressing immunity - body defences of an organism) effect. It is prescribed at rheumatism, allergic reactions, multiform erythema (variously proceeding skin disease which occurs with rubefaction of affected area of skin), pseudorheumatism (the infectious and allergic disease from a group of collagenoses which is characterized by chronic progressing inflammation of joints); systemic lupus erythematosus and other collagenoses.
Uroxatral - Alfuzosinis an active substance, as an antagonist of the α1 adenogenetic receptor, this drug relaxes the muscles of the prostate and the bladder. Used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Reduces pressure in the urethra and reduces resistance to urine flow, eases urination and eliminates dysuria.
Blocks the final stage of HCl secretion, reducing basal and stimulated secretion, regardless of the nature of the stimulus. Prescribed for gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer in acute phase, erosive-ulcerative esophagitis, reflux esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, stress ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract; eradication of Helicobacter pylori within a combination therapy, non-ulcer dyspepsia.
Exforge the combined antihypertensive which includes amlodipine and valastran. Valsartan - a specific blocker of AT1 receptors of angiotensin II. Amlodipin - calcium channel blocking agents of III generation, inhibits transmembrane receipt of Ca2+ in cardiomyocytes and smooth muscle cells of vessels, by weakening them.
Cardizem, derivative benzothiazepine, has anti-anginal, antiarrhytmic and hypotensive effect. It is prescribed at arterial hypertension: after myocardial infarction, at patients with accompanying stenocardia when beta adrenoblockers, are contraindicative at patients with diabetic nephropathy, in cases when ACE inhibitors are contraindicated; angina of effort, Prinzmetal's angina; prevention of a coronary spasm when carrying out a coronary angiography or operation of aortocoronary shunting.
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.
In case of an arterial hypertension of Atacand causes dose-dependent long lowering of arterial pressure. Anti-hypertensive action happens due to decrease in system peripheric resistance without reflex increase in heart rate. Instructions on serious or strengthened hypotension after taking of the first dose or Withdrawal Effect after termination of treatment are absent.
Danazol is used in endometriosis (with concomitant infertility), benign neoplasms of the breast (fibrocystic mastopathy), primary menorrhagia, premenstrual syndrome, primary premature puberty, gynecomastia.
Pamelor is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA, tricyclic antidepressants) of the second generation. It is used in the treatment of some major depressive disorder and nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) in children. In addition, the drug is sometimes used for the treatment of chronic diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain and migraine, and the lability in certain neurological diseases.
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.
Actonel, which is risedronate - is prescribed for treatment and prevention of osteoporosis (post-menopausal, caused by corticosteroids), Paget disease. Risedronate binds to substance of a bone tissue, inhibits its resorption mediated by osteoclasts and reduces a bone turn (does not break process of formation of a bone). It increases the biomechanical strength and volume of bone mass. The maximum decrease in a bone turn is observed in 3-6 months, remaining at the same level during a course of treatment.
An antispasmodic drug, which removes pain and reduces the tone of smooth muscles: gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, uterus, it also relaxes the detrusor (direct antispasmodic and m-anticholinergic effect). Increases bladder capacity, reduces the frequency of detrusor contractions, hinders urination. Well tolerated when appointed for a long term. Used in neurogenic bladder (including detrusor hyperreflexia, multiple sclerosis or spina bifida), urinary incontinence (of idiopathic origin), nocturnal enuresis (in children older than 5 years).
Diltiazem - has anti-anginal, antiarrhytmic and hypotensive effects. Reduces the intracellular maintenance of Ca2+ in cardiomyocytes and cells of smooth muscles of blood vessels, reduces heart rate, shows insignificant negative inotropic effect, improves a coronary, brain and renal blood flow.
Fosamax - drug for treatment of Paget disease, osteoporosis at women in a postmenopause, osteoporosis at men, a hypercalcemia at malignant tumors. Active alendronate ingredient - non-hormonal specific inhibitor of an osteoclastic bone resorption, suppresses osteoclasts. Taking of Fosamax stimulates bone formation, recovers positive balance between a resorption and recovery of a bone, progressively increases the mineral density of bones, promotes formation of a normal bone tissue with normal histologic structure.
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.
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.
