Resolor 1 mg
Contains the active ingredient : Prucalopride, which is a type of medicine called a serotonin (or 5HT) agonist.
Prucalopride works by stimulating receptors called serotonin (or 5HT) receptors that are found on the walls of intestine. A natural substance called serotonin normally acts on these receptors, causing the muscles in the intestinal wall to contract. This process is known as peristalsis. It moves the contents of the intestines through the colon to the rectum so that the bowel can be emptied.
Prucalopride mimics this action of serotonin by directly stimulating specific serotonin receptors, known as 5HT4 receptors on the colon. This increases the muscular contraction of the colon, helping to produce normal bowel movement and relieve constipation.
What is it used for ?
Treatment of chronic constipation in adults for whom other laxatives have not given adequate relief.

Supralip NT 145 mg
Contain the active ingredient : Fenofibrate, which is a type of medicine called a fibrate. It is used to lower the levels of fats (lipids) called cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
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.
Triglycerides are another type of 'bad fat' that increase the risk of hardened arteries.
Fenofibrate works mainly by stimulating the action of an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. This is called lipoprotein lipase and is found in muscle and fat tissue. Stimulating this enzyme increases the breakdown of triglycerides and LDL in the blood.
Fenofibrate also increases levels of HDL cholesterol. The overall effect is lowered levels of "bad fats" and raised levels of "good fats" in the blood.
Fibrates have an important role in the prevention of coronary heart disease. They reduce the risk of excess cholesterol and triglycerides being deposited in the major blood vessels of the heart (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis limits the amount of blood and therefore oxygen being carried to the heart muscle. This can cause chest pain (angina) and in severe cases can result in a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
This medicine is used when blood lipid levels cannot be lowered by diet and exercise alone. It is important to continue to follow a cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise regime while taking fenofibrate. Discuss this with your doctor.
What is it used for?
High levels of fats (lipids) such as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood (hyperlipidaemia).

Harnal OCAS
Contain the active ingredient : Tamsulosin which works by blocking alpha receptors that are found in the muscle in the prostate gland.
The prostate gland, which is found only in men, lies at the top of the tube connecting the bladder to the outside (urethra). The prostate gland often enlarges with advancing age, pressing on the urethra and obstructing the flow of urine from the bladder. This can cause various symptoms, such as difficulty passing urine, being unable to completely empty the bladder and needing to pass urine more often or urgently.
Tamsulosin causes the muscle in the prostate to relax. This relieves the pressure on the urethra and allows urine to flow freely past the prostate gland. This makes it easier to pass urine and empty the bladder.
What is it used for?
Relieving the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland, also called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Tamsulosin helps improve symptoms such as needing to pass urine frequently or urgently, but having a weak flow of urine or being unable to fully empty the bladder when you do go.

Lyrica 75 mg
Contain the active ingredient : Pregabalin which is an anticonvulsant medicine, which can be used in combination with other medicines to treat epilepsy, for nerve pain and anxiety.
Pregabalin works in the brain and nervous system. The exact way in which gabapentin works is not fully understood.
It's thought to work by binding to calcium channels found on nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This reduces the release of various neurotransmitters from these nerve cells.
Neurotransmitters are natural body chemicals that are stored in nerve cells. They are involved in transmitting messages between the nerve cells. Pregabalin is thought to reduce the release of neurotransmitters called glutamate, noradrenaline and substance P.
Glutamate is a neurotransmitter that acts as a natural 'nerve-exciting' agent. It is released when electrical signals build up in nerve cells and subsequently excites more nerve cells. It is thought to play a key role in causing epileptic seizures. Reducing the release of glutamate from the nerve cells in the brain is thought to help stabilise the electrical activity in the brain and prevent epileptic fits.
Glutamate, substance P and noradrenaline are also involved in transmitting pain signals in the brain and nervous system. As pregabalin reduces the release of these neurotransmitters it can also be used to treat nerve pain occurring as a result of nerve damage, or a disturbance in the function of nerves.
Pregabalin can also be used to treat generalised anxiety disorder, which is another condition thought to involve over activity of glutamate, substance P and noradrenaline in the brain.
What is it used for?
▪️ Epilepsy.
▪️ Treating nerve pain referred to as neuropathic pain, such as diabetic neuropathy or post-herpetic neuralgia, which occurs after having shingles.
▪️ Generalised anxiety disorder in adults.

Femoston 1/10
Oestrogen (in this case in the form of estradiol) can be given as a supplement to replace the falling levels in the body and help reduce these distressing symptoms of the menopause. This is known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT is usually only required for short-term relief from menopausal symptoms and its use should be reviewed at least once a year with your doctor.
A progestogen (in this case in the form of dydrogesterone) is needed as part of HRT for women who have not had a hysterectomy. This is because in women with an intact womb, oestrogen stimulates the growth of the womb lining (endometrium), which can lead to endometrial cancer if the growth is unopposed. A progestogen is given to oppose oestrogen's effect on the womb lining and reduce the risk of endometrial cancer, though it does not eliminate this risk entirely. This is known as combined HRT.
Femoston is a sequential form of combined HRT. This means that oestrogen is taken on a continuous basis and the progestogen is added for the last two weeks of each month. The tablets taken in the first two weeks of each Femoston cycle contain only estradiol, while the tablets taken in the second two weeks of each cycle contain both estradiol and dydrogesterone. This type of HRT is more suitable for women who are still having irregular periods, because it usually results in a monthly bleed towards the end of taking the dydrogesterone.
HRT is also sometimes used to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The declining level of oestrogen at menopause can affect the bones, causing them to become thinner and more prone to breaking. Oestrogen supplements help prevent bone loss and fractures that may occur in women in the years after menopause.
What is it used for?
▪️ Hormone replacement therapy to relieve symptoms of the menopause.
▪️ Second-line option for preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are at high risk of fractures and cannot take other medicines licensed for preventing osteoporosis.

Duphaston 10 mg
In women, progesterone is responsible for the development of a healthy womb lining (endometrium) that is necessary for pregnancy. The body produces progesterone at certain times of the menstrual cycle, causing the womb lining to flourish. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the womb lining by the end of the monthly menstrual cycle, the levels of progesterone in the body decrease. This causes the body to shed the womb lining (a menstrual ‘period’). If a fertilized egg successfully attaches to the womb lining by the end of the monthly cycle, progesterone levels in the body remain high. This helps maintain a healthy womb lining for the ongoing pregnancy.
As dydrogesterone helps regulate the healthy growth and normal shedding of the womb lining, it may be used in the treatment of menstrual disorders such as absent, irregular or painful menstrual periods, infertility, premenstrual syndrome and endometriosis. It may also be used to minimise the overgrowth of the womb lining due to oestrogen (the main female sex hormone) in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) following menopause. By maintaining the womb lining, dydrogesterone is also useful in helping prevent miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) in women who have suffered repeated miscarriages or who may miscarry.
Dydrogesterone is usually taken on selected days during the menstrual cycle, depending upon the disorder that is being treated.
What is it used for?
Abdominal pain and bleeding during preganancy (threatened miscarriage) or history of miscarriages (habitual abortion)
Abdominal pain associated with menstrual periods (dysmenorrhoea)
Absence of menstrual periods when taking oestrogens
Endometriosis
Female infertility
Irregular menstrual bleeding when taking oestrogens

Sifrol 0.25 mg
Contain active ingredient : Pramipexole which works by mimicking the activity of a substance in the brain called dopamine.
Dopamine is a substance known as a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters are present in the brain and nervous system and are involved in transmitting messages between nerves. These messages allow the normal functioning of the body. The neurotransmitter dopamine is known to be reduced or absent in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease, and this is thought to be the cause of the disease symptoms.
Dopamine normally transmits messages by stimulating specific receptor sites in the brain. Pramipexole works by stimulating these same receptor sites. This produces the same effects as dopamine, and acts as a dopamine substitute. In this way pramipexole helps to restore the dopamine activity in the brain, which helps reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
It can both be used alone or in conjunction with levodopa to treat Parkinson's disease, and are particularly useful in people for whom levodopa alone is no longer providing adequate control of symptoms.
It also used to treat restless leg syndrome (RLS), though exactly how pramipexole works in this condition is unclear.
Pramipexole can cause a drop in blood pressure when you first start treatment, and this may cause dizziness or fainting. To minimize these side effects the dose is increased slowly, usually over three to four weeks. Follow the instructions given by your doctor or pharmacist.
What is it used for?
Parkinson's disease.
Moderate to severe restless legs syndrome.

Fascar 250 mg
Contains the active ingredient : Clarithromycin which is a type of medicine called a macrolide antibiotic. It works by preventing bacteria from producing proteins that are essential to them. Without these proteins the bacteria cannot grow, replicate and increase in numbers. The bacteria eventually die or are destroyed by the immune system. This clears up the infection.
Clarithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that helps clear up infections caused by a wide variety of bacteria.
What is it used for?
Clarithromycin is used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria, such as the following:
Chest infections (lung or lower respiratory tract infections), eg bronchitis, pneumonia. Clarithromycin may also be prescribed to prevent whooping cough in people who haven't been vaccinated against whooping cough and who are in close contact with someone who has it.Infections of the nasal passages, sinuses or throat (upper respiratory tract infections) eg sinusitis, pharyngitis.
Skin or soft tissue infections, eg cellulitis, folliculitis or erysipelas.
Middle ear infections (otitis media).
Lyme disease.
Eradicating Helicobacter pylori bacteria from the gut in people with peptic ulcers (in combination with other medicines).

Lexapro 10 mg
Contain the active ingredient : Escitalopram Oxalate which is a type of antidepressant called a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
It works by enhancing the activity of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain.
Neurotransmitters are natural body chemicals that act as chemical messengers between the nerve cells. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter known to be involved in regulating emotions, mood and behavior, among other things. In depression and anxiety disorders there is a decreased amount of serotonin released from nerve cells in the brain.
Escitalopram works by stopping the serotonin that has been released from being reabsorbed back into the nerve cells in the brain. This helps to prolong its effects and over time this helps to lighten mood and relieve depression. Antidepressants like escitalopram have also been found to be effective in relieving symptoms of anxiety, such as panic and fear.
Escitalopram won't change your personality or make you feel instantly happy and relaxed. It works over time to correct the chemical changes in your brain that have made you become depressed or anxious, and gets you back to feeling like your old self.
What is it used for?
It is used to treat the following conditions in adults aged 18 years and over:
Depression.
Generalised anxiety disorder.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Panic disorder with or without agoraphobia.
Social phobia or social anxiety disorder.
