Cefozopran; Mechanism, Uses, Contraindications, Dosage, Side effects,
Cefozopran is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum, fourth-generation cephalosporin with antibacterial activity. Cefozopran binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. PBPs are enzymes involved in the terminal stages of assembling the bacterial cell wall and in reshaping the cell wall during growth and division. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage […]

Anticholinergic Drugs; Types, Indications/Uses, Side Effects, Drug Interactions
Anticholinergic drugs agent is a substance that blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system. These agents inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system are responsible for the involuntary movement of smooth muscles present in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, lungs, and many other parts of the body. Anticholinergics are divided […]
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors; Types, Mechanism, Uses, Side Effects, Interactions
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of drugs that inhibit the activity of one or both monoamine oxidase enzymes, monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). They have a long history of use as medications prescribed for the treatment of depression. They are particularly effective in treating atypical depression. They are also used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and several other disorders. Reversible […]
Estrogen , Oestrogen; Types, Uses, Contra Indications, Side Effects, Interactions
Estrogen, oestrogen, is the primary female sex hormone. It is responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. There are three major endogenous estrogens in females that have estrogenic hormonal activity: estrone, estradiol, and estriol. The estrane steroid estradiol is the most potent and prevalent of these. Estrogens are a pharmaceutical preparation containing a mixture of water-soluble, conjugated estrogens derived wholly or in part from URINE […]
Benzodiazepines; Types, Uses, Contra Indications, Side Effects, Interactions
Benzodiazepines sometimes called “benzos“, are a class of psychoactive drugs whose core chemical structure is the fusion of a benzene ring and a diazepine ring. The benzodiazepines are a large class of medications that have multiple clinical uses including therapy of anxiety, insomnia, muscle spasm, alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. As a class, the benzodiazepines do not cause significant serum enzyme elevations […]
Barbiturate; Types, Indications/Uses, Contra Indications, Side Effects, Interactions
Barbiturate is a drug that acts as a central nervous system depressant, and can, therefore, produce a wide spectrum of effects, from mild sedation to total anesthesia. They are also effective as anxiolytics, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants. Barbiturates have addiction potential, both physical and psychological. They have largely been replaced by benzodiazepines in routine medical practice, particularly in the treatment of anxiety and insomnia, due to the significantly lower risk of […]
Alpha Blockers; Types, Uses, Contra Indications, Side Effects, Interactions
Alpha blockers also are known as α-blockers or α-adrenoreceptor antagonists are a class of pharmacological agents that act as antagonists on α-adrenergic receptors (α-adrenoceptors). Alpha blocker drug that blocks receptors in arteries and smooth muscle. This action relaxes the blood vessels and leads to an increase in blood flow and a lower pressure for the control of hypertension. The action in the urinary tract enhances urinary flow […]
Beta Blockers; Types, Indications/Uses, Side Effects, Drug Interactions
Beta blockers also written β-blockers, are a class of medications that are particularly used to manage abnormal heart rhythms, and to protect the heart from a second heart attack (myocardial infarction) after a first heart attack (secondary prevention). They are also widely used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), although they are no longer the first choice for initial […]
