Analgesic, Anti Depressant, Sleeping Pill, Latest Clasification
Analgesic/painkiller is any member of the group of drugs used to achieve analgesia, relief from pain. Analgesic drugs act in various ways on the peripheral and central nervous systems. They are distinct from anesthetics, which temporarily affected, and in some instances completely eliminate sensation. Analgesics include paracetamol (known in North America as acetaminophen or Read More …
Antihypertensive Drugs, Uses, Side Effects, Drug Interactions
Antihypertensive drugs are a class of drugs that are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Antihypertensives drugs therapy seeks to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Evidence suggests that reduction of the blood pressure by 5 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by Read More …
Tetracycline, Uses, Dosage, Side effects, Interactions, Pregnancy
Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum naphthacene antibiotic produced semisynthetically from chlortetracycline, an antibiotic isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces aureofaciens. In bacteria, tetracycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, interferes with the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. Tetracycline is a broad spectrum Read More …
Antibiotic; Types, Indications/Uses , Side Effects, Interactions
Antibiotic also called an antibacterial is a type of antimicrobial drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections.They may either kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. A limited number of antibiotics also possess antiprotozoal activity.Antibiotics are not effective against viruses such as the common cold or influenza; drugs which inhibit viruses are termed antiviral drugs or antivirals rather than antibiotics. Sometimes the Read More …
Amoxicillin, Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions, Pregnancy
Amoxicillin Anhydrous is the anhydrous form of a broad-spectrum, semisynthetic aminopenicillin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Amoxicillin binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell Read More …
Flucloxacillin, Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions, Pregnancy
Flucloxacillin is a narrow-spectrum, semisynthetic isoxazolyl penicillin with antibacterial activity. Floxacillin binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity. This interrupts Read More …
Anorexia Cachexia Syndrome; Symptom, Diagnosis, Treatment
Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome is a common clinical problem characterized by loss of appetite and weight loss or complex metabolic syndrome of involuntary weight loss associated with cancer and some other palliative conditions a consensus definition of cachexia related to either cancer or chronic Read More …
Gemifloxacin, Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions, Pregnancy
Gemifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic with the antimicrobial property. Gemifloxacin enters bacterial cells by diffusion through integral membrane porin pathway before targeting both DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, two enzymes critical for DNA replication and repair. This agent binds to the DNA/DNA-gyrase complex and inhibits Read More …
Gatifloxacin, Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions, Pregnancy
Gatifloxacin is a synthetic 8-methoxyfluoroquinolone with antibacterial activity against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. Gatifloxacin exerts its effect through inhibition of DNA gyrase, an enzyme involved in DNA replication, transcription and repair, and inhibition of topoisomerase IV, an enzyme involved Read More …
Sparfloxacin, Uses, Dosage, Side effects, Interactions, Pregnancy
Sparfloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and transcription. Sparfloxacin was withdrawn from the U.S. market due to a high incidence of phototoxicity. Sparfloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial infections. Sparfloxacin exerts its antibacterial activity by inhibiting DNA Read More …
Ofloxacin; Uses, Dosage, Side effects, Interactions, Pregnancy
Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial antibiotic. Ofloxacin binds to and inhibits bacterial topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV, enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair, resulting in cell death in sensitive bacterial species. (NCI04) Ofloxacin is a second generation fluoroquinolone that was previously used widely for therapy Read More …
