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.
