Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) tablets

Xarelto is a blood thinner used to prevent the formation of blood clots. It is prescribed for patients with atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm irregularity, and for patients who are undergoing certain types of joint replacement surgery who are at risk of developing deep vein thrombosis, a condition that may lead to blood clots in the lungs and other parts of the circulatory system.
Xarelto was introduced on the market in 2011, making it relatively new. The manufacturer, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, promoted it as an alternative to Warfarin, requiring no monitoring.
However, patients absorb the drug at different rates. Some patients who have taken Xarelto experienced uncontrolled bleeding, which may lead to serious injury or death. Unlike Wayfarin, however, Xarelto has no antidote if a patient experiences internal bleeding. The blood thinner must pass out of the system gradually, meaning it could be too late for the victim. There have been numerous reports of uncontrolled bleeding, causing serious side effects including death, according to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices.

Recognizing Xarelto Side Effects

In some cases, drugs are released on the market that have not been tested adequately, and side effects from long term usage do not become evident until years later. After release upon the market, some medications are then discovered to have harmful, or even fatal side effects.
Serious Xarelto side effects may require emergency treatment, particularly when any unusual bleeding develops. Some minor side effects can include muscle pain, itching, and pain in the arms and legs. Any significant changes are to be reported to your doctor. Serious side effects are the major concern with this medication. They include:

Aindeem Finasteride tablets

What are the key benefits of Aindeem?

Clinical studies over 5 years used photographic assessment of efficacy. This demonstrated that 48% of men treated with finasteride for 5 years were rated as improved, and an additional 42% were rated as unchanged. This is in comparison to 25% of men treated with placebo for 5 years who were rated as improved or unchanged. These data demonstrate that treatment with finasteride for 5 years resulted in a stabilisation of hair loss.

How does Aindeem work?

Aindeem contains active ingredient finasteride, a type of anti-androgen medicine which supresses the cause of male hair loss by stopping the development of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. DHT attacks the hair follicles on top of the head, thus causing hair loss –Aindeem works to prevent this process.

Singulair (montelukast sodium) dose indications

Singulair (Montelukast)

Singulair is the brand name of montelukast, a drug prescribed for people with asthma.

Singulair can also help decrease the frequency of asthma attacks, and it may be used to relieve the symptoms of hay fever, allergic rhinitis, and other allergies that cause sneezing and stuffy, runny, or itchy nose.
You can also take it to prevent exercise-induced asthma.
Singulair works by blocking certain natural substances called leukotrienes that may cause or worsen asthma and allergies.
Leukotrienes — chemicals your body releases when you breathe in an allergen, such as pollen — cause swelling in your lungs and tightening of the muscles around your airways, which can result in asthma symptoms.
Singulair is made by Merck and was approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998 for treatment of asthma-related symptoms.
The FDA has approved several generic versions of montelukast, but Singulair continues to be the most popular prescribed brand.
In 2008, the FDA announced that it would investigate whether mood changes and suicidal thoughts were possible side effects of leukotriene modulator drugs, including Singulair.
Clinical trials revealed only an increased risk of insomnia, but surveys showed that the drugs are also associated with a possible increase in suicidal behavior, agitation, aggression, irritability, hallucinations, and depression.

Singulair Warnings

Pravachol ( pravastatin ) sodium

Lasix ( Furosemide ) tablets

What is Lasix?

Lasix is the brand name of Furosemide, one of the most commonly prescribed diuretics used for the treatment of edema, swelling, heart failure, liver, kidney and other diseases by increased production of urine.

Characteristics of furosemide and forms of release
Furosemide is also the active substance of Lasix and belongs to the pharmacological group of loop diuretics. This pharmacological group aims to remove from the body an increased amount of water due to a decrease in the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the special structure of the renal nephron-the loop of Henle.
Moreover, with Lasix treatment, there is increased bodily excretion of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These two mechanisms determine the diuretic and hypotensive effects of furosemide. According to the official instructions, the drug acts after a short period and its effects persist for 1.5 to 3 hours.

Zocor Simvastatin tablets

What Is Zocor (Simvastatin)

Zocor is the brand name of simvastatin, a prescription drug used to lower blood cholesterol.
Zocor belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, also called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.
Statins reduce cholesterol levels in your blood by blocking an enzyme needed to make cholesterol, as well as increasing the number of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad" cholesterol) receptors in the liver, so the liver can process more of the LDL found in your blood.
By lowering cholesterol, statins help to prevent the buildup of plaque in blood vessels, which can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), heart disease, and stroke.
Statins are used to help prevent heart disease in those who don't have it but are at risk, and in those who have already had some form of cardiovascular disease, such as a stroke or heart attack.
Your doctor will prescribe Zocor along with suggesting a healthy diet, weight loss if you need it, and exercise to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other problems.
Zocor, manufactured by Merck & Co., was approved by the Food and Drug Association (FDA) in 1991. The FDA approved the first generic version of simvastatin in 2006, and now many companies offer the generic version.
Zocor is offered in a tablet form or a disintegrating tablet form.

Prilosec Zegerid omeprazole tablets

What is omeprazole, and how does it work (mechanism of action)?

Omeprazole is in a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPI) that block the production of acid by the stomach. Other drugs in the class include lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), pantoprazole (Protonix), and esomeprazole (Nexium). Proton pump inhibitors are used for the treatment of conditions such as ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, which are all caused by stomach acid. Omeprazole, like other proton-pump inhibitors, blocks the enzyme in the wall of the stomach that produces acid. By blocking the enzyme, the production of acid is decreased, and this allows the stomach and esophagus to heal. Zegerid contains omeprazole and an antacid (sodium bicarbonate). The FDA approved omeprazole in September 1989.

What brand names are available for omeprazole?

Prilosec, Zegerid, Prilosec OTC, Zegerid OTC

Is omeprazole available as a generic drug?

Yes (Prilosec)

Glucophage (metformin) tablets

What is Glucophage?

Glucophage is used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It reduces the symptoms that are caused by high blood sugar and, by doing so, prevents damage to the body. If you would like to order Glucophage online, Dokteronline.com’s partner pharmacies will be happy to assist you.

What is Glucophage used for?

Type 2 diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops when the liver and muscles become resistant to insulin. As a result the pancreas needs to produce more insulin than it would normally need to. If the pancreas can no longer produce enough insulin to bring down sugar levels, the body cannot break down the sugars that are in the food that we eat. This causes blood sugar levels to rise and as a consequence the symptoms of diabetes (thirst, dry mouth, increased need to urinate and fatigue) will begin to appear. In the long term, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and organs. As time goes on, this damage causes serious complications. Glucophage decreases the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It reduces the symptoms of diabetes and so minimises the chance of complications.

In adults with postherpetic neuralgia, NEURONTIN may be initiated on Day 1 as a single 300 mg dose, on Day 2 as 600 mg/day (300 mg two times a day), and on Day 3 as 900 mg/day (300 mg three times a day). The dose can subsequently be titrated up as needed for pain relief to a dose of 1800 mg/day (600 mg three times a day). In clinical studies, efficacy was demonstrated over a range of doses from 1800 mg/day to 3600 mg/day with comparable effects across the dose range; however, in these clinical studies, the additional benefit of using doses greater than 1800 mg/day was not demonstrated.

Vasoserc Betahistine Hydrochloride tablets

Betahistine (Serc) is a popular medicine that is prescribed to treat a variety of complaints. The main indication for taking Betahistine is to treat patients with Ménière’s disease, however many patients take Betahistine to relieve other symptoms, such as vertigo, dizziness, and tinnitus.
Good evidence to support the use of Betahistine for the treatment of Ménière’s disease is severely lacking despite its common use. About five years ago a scientific study was performed in China to evaluate the potential benefits of Betahistine for tinnitus patients. The results of this study demonstrated a reduction in the loudness of tinnitus when using special hearing tests to assess tinnitus loudness, but when questionnaires were used to assess whether the subjects felt that their tinnitus was quieter, or whether the impact of tinnitus on their life was reduced, no improvements could be satisfactorily demonstrated. The results of this study, to some degree, are interesting, however this type of study has not been replicated in either China, or anywhere else in the rest of the world. Only a summary of this study has been reproduced in English, so I have written to the authors for clarification of the methods used and some more details regarding the study findings, but unfortunately I am still waiting for a reply.
