Accutane, which is isotretinoin, - is a form of vitamin A, belongs to the group of retinoids. It is often used to treat complex, neglected forms of acne, when the remaining anti-acne drugs do not have a positive effect on the treatment of acne. Accutane inhibits the production of sebum and reduces the size of the gums with the main active substance isotretinoin. It is proved that isotretinoin has an antiseptic effect. Also, isotretinoin thinens the stratum corneum of the epidermis to more easily penetrate deep into the affected area. Due to the fact that Accutane suppresses the sebum secretion by reducing the sebaceous glands themselves, this allows to reduce the migration of bacteria in the ducts. And due to the fact that the stratum corneum is thin, the skin fat has an outlet to the outside, from which there is no blockage of the pores and, as a result, pimples.
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.
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.
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.
Enalapril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (or ACE inhibitor); administered in hypertensive pediatric patients (from 1 month old and above), adults and elderly patients for treatment
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.
Flexeril - medicine acting against muscular spasms. It possesses sedative action, it is not recommended to be engaged in potentially dangerous types of activity if a person takes Flexeril. As well as in a case with narcotic analgetics, Flexeril is not recommended to take longer than seven days as in case of a long taking there can be a dependence.
Haldol antipsychotic remedy, butyrophenone derivative. It has a powerful antipsychotic effect, moderate sedation. The mechanism of antipsychotic action of haloperidol is associated with the blockade of dopamine receptors in the mesocortex and limbic system.
Lisinopril is an antihypertensive, vasodilating, cardioprotective drug, an ACE inhibitor that is used to treat hypertension, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, diabetic nephropathy.
A thiazide diuretic of the average intensity, applied in arterial hypertension, edema syndrome of different origin, gestosis and diabetes insipidus. Reduces reabsorption of Na+ at the level of the Henle loop cortical segment, without affecting its segment lying in the medulla of the kidney that detects a weaker diuretic effect compared with furosemide.
Plavix is an antiplatelet drug; specific and active inhibitor of platelet aggregation; has a coronary-dilating effect. The use of Plavix is indicated for the prevention of atherothrombotic complications in adult patients with myocardial infarction in adult patients with an acute coronary syndrome. The drug is also indicated to prevent atherothrombotic and thromboembolic complications, including a stroke, atrial fibrillation in patients with atrial fibrillation, who have at least one risk factor for vascular complications and who cannot take indirect anticoagulants and have a low risk of bleeding.
Toradol - tablets containing 5 and 10 mg of ketorolac tromethamine as an active substance. It has a pronounced analgesic, as well as antipyretic and anti-inflammatory action, the mechanism of which is associated with inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins. Suppresses the aggregation of platelets.
Tricor - is a hypolipidemic agent, has an uricosuric and antiplatelet effect. In combination with diet therapy, the drug is prescribed for a long-term treatment, the effectiveness of which must be periodically checked by determining serum lipid levels.
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.
