Caduet
Contain 2 active ingredients : Amlodipine and Atorvastatin.
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker and is used to treat high blood pressure or prevent chest pain (angina). It works by relaxing the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily and the heart does not need to work so hard. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Preventing chest pain can help improve your ability to exercise.
Atorvastatin is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as "statins." It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. Lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks. In addition to eating a proper diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help this medication work better include exercising, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking. Consult your doctor for more details.

Zyloric 100 mg
Contain the active ingredient : Allopurinol, which is a type of medicine called a xanthine-oxidase inhibitor. Allopurinol tablets are also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine. Allopurinol is used to lower levels of uric acid in the body.
Uric acid is produced by an enzyme in the body called xanthine oxidase. Allopurinol inhibits the action of this enzyme and as a result lowers uric acid levels.
The main use of allopurinol is in preventing attacks of gout, which occur as a result of a build-up of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is these cystals that cause the characteristic pain and inflammation of gout. By lowering the production of uric acid, flare-ups of gout can be prevented.
Allopurinol is used for the long term prevention of gout and not for immediate treatment of gout flare-ups. Other medicines are used for the rapid relief of gout symptoms.
A build up of uric acid is also responsible for certain types of kidney disease and some types of kidney stone. In the same way that allopurinol prevents gout, it can also prevent the formation of new kidney stones. (NB There are various different types of kidney stones, and allopurinol is only effective against certain types.)
Certain types of cancer and treatments for cancer can raise uric acid levels. As this could potentially cause kidney problems, allopurinol is also sometimes used to prevent this.
What is it used for?
The long-term management of gout, to control uric acid levels and prevent gout attacks.
Preventing certain types of kidney stones, caused by a build-up of uric acid.
Treating certain enzyme disorders that result in overproduction of uric acid, for example Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
Reducing the formation of uric acid when a build-up is predictable, for example when treating certain types of cancer.

Cavumox 1 g
Contains the active ingredient : Amoxicillin 250 mg, Clavulanic acid 125 mg
Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic. It works by interfering with the ability of bacteria to form cell walls. The cell walls of bacteria are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering their cells and stop the contents of their cells from leaking out. Amoxicillin impairs the bonds that hold the bacterial cell wall together. This allows holes to appear in the cell walls and kills the bacteria.
Certain bacteria are resistant to penicillin-type antibiotics, because they have developed the ability to produce defensive chemicals called beta-lactamases. These interfere with the structure of penicillin-type antibiotics and stop them from working.
Clavulanic acid is a type of medicine known as a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It is included in this medicine to stop the bacteria from inactivating the amoxicillin, and leaves the bacteria susceptible to attack. Clavulanic acid increases the range of bacteria that amoxicillin can kill.
Cavumox is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that kills a wide variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of commonly-occuring infections. It is usually reserved for treating infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin.
What is it used for?
- Bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract (nasal passages, sinuses etc) eg sinusitis.
- Bacterial infections of the lower respiratory tract (lungs, airways) eg bronchitis, pneumonia.
- Bacterial infections of the ears, nose or throat, eg otitis media, tonsillitis.
- Bacterial infections of the urinary tract or kidneys, in particular recurrent cystitis.
- Bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissue, eg cellulitis, animal bites.

Lopress 2 mg
contain the active ingredient : Prazosin HCl, which is a type of medicine called an alpha-blocker. Prazosin has some quite different uses. It works by blocking alpha receptors in certain areas of the body.
Alpha receptors are found on the muscle in the walls of blood vessels. When prazosin blocks these receptors it causes the muscle in the blood vessel to relax and the blood vessel to widen. This lets the blood pass more easily through the blood vessels and hence reduces the pressure in the blood vessels. Prazosin can therefore be used to treat high blood pressure.
Widening the blood vessels also decreases the effort required by the heart to pump blood around the body, because there is less resistance for the heart to pump against. Prazosin can therefore also help treat heart failure, where the pumping action of the heart has become less effective.
Prazosin is also used to treat Raynaud's disease and Raynaud's phenomenon, which are conditions where the arteries supplying blood to the hands and feet go into spasm and narrow. This restricts the blood supply to the fingers and toes and causes them to go pale, cold and painful. Prazosin widens the blood vessels and so increases the blood flow to the hands and feet, thus relieving these symptoms.
Alpha receptors are also found on the muscle in the prostate gland. This gland is found only in men and lies at the top of the tube connecting the bladder to the outside (urethra). The prostate gland often enlarges with advancing age (benign prostatic hyperplasia), pressing on the urethra and obstructing the flow of urine from the bladder. This can cause various urinary symptoms such as difficulty passing urine. By blocking the alpha receptors in the prostate, prazosin causes the muscle to relax. This allows urine to flow freely past the prostate gland and relieves the urinary symptoms of this condition.
What is it used for?
High blood pressure (hypertension).
Heart failure.
Condition called Raynaud's disease or phenomenon, in which the arteries supplying blood to the hands and feet go into spasm, causing pale, cold and painful fingers and toes.
Enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

Bestatin 10 mg
Contain the active ingredient : Simvastatin. For the sake of simplicity, there are two sorts of cholesterol; a 'bad' sort called low density lipoprotein (LDL) and a 'good' sort called high density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is deposited in the arteries and increases the risk of heart disease by clogging and narrowing the arteries (atherosclerosis), while HDL actually protects the arteries against this.
Simvastatin works by reducing the production of LDL cholesterol by the liver. This has a knock-on effect of making the liver cells take up LDL cholesterol from the blood. Simvastatin also causes a small decrease in the production of other 'bad fats' in the blood called triglycerides, and a small increase in the level of HDL cholesterol. The overall result is lowered levels of 'bad fats' and raised levels of 'good fats' in the blood.
What is it used for?
Simvastatin lowers high levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and other 'bad fats' (called triglycerides and apolipoprotein B) in the blood.
Simvastatin is used for adults and children over 10 years who have high cholesterol levels either due to genetics (familial hypercholesterolaemia) or as a result of diet and lifestyle (primary hypercholesterolaemia or mixed hyperlipidaemia). Simvastatin is used when a low-fat diet and lifestyle changes such as increased exercise have not reduced cholesterol enough. It helps to reduce the risk of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and the problems this can cause - described below.
Simvastatin helps prevent cardiovascular events such as angina, heart attacks, strokes or needing heart bypass surgery, in people who have already had a stroke or heart attack, or who suffer from angina or diabetes. Simvastatin can be used for this purpose even if your cholesterol levels are normal.
In these situations simvastatin slows down hardening of the arteries, regardless of your cholesterol level. It reduces the risk of needing procedures to improve blood supply to the heart, such as a balloon dilation of an artery or a heart bypass graft. It also reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and death from heart disease.
