Vicodin Norco (Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen)

What Is Vicodin?

Vicodin is a drug that is commonly used to treat pain. Because it is a strong pain killer, it is commonly prescribed for moderate to severe pain after surgery or for injuries such as broken bones or ligament tears. However, due to its chemical makeup Vicodin is extremely addictive and users frequently become dependent on the drug.
The following is an overview of how Vicodin addiction affects the body of those who abuse it. If you or someone you love is addicted to opiates, it may be helpful to seek treatment at a recovery program.

How Is Vicodin Made?

Vicodin is made from acetaminophen and hydrocodone, with a potency and effect on the body that is similar to another one of the most commonly prescribed opiates morphine. Other drugs that are similar to Vicodin are:

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.

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.
