Contains the active ingredient: Cefuroxime is a type of antibiotic known as cephalosporin. It works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell walls. Cefuroxime impairs the bonds that hold the bacterial cell wall together, which allows holes to appear in the cell walls. This kills off the bacteria causing the infection.

What is it used for?

Cefuroxime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat various types of bacterial infection, such as

• Bacterial infections of the upper airways, including nasal passages and sinuses (respiratory tract).
• Bacterial infections of the lungs, eg bronchitis.
• Bacterial infections of the middle ear (otitis media).
• Bacterial infections of the urinary tract.
• Bacterial infections of the kidney (pyelonephritis).
• Gonorrhoea (unlicensed use).
• More serious infections like septicaemia may be treated with cefuroxime injections.
• a surgical procedure in hospital you may be given cefuroxime injections to help prevent infection.

Contain the active ingredient : Ticagrelor, which is a type of medicine called an antiplatelet (sometimes referred to as a 'blood-thinning' medicine).

Ticagrelor works by preventing the action of a natural substance called adenosine diphosphate (ADP). ADP is one of the chemicals in the body that cause platelets to clump together and start the process of blood clotting. Ticagrelor binds to a specific area on the platelets known as the P2Y12 receptors. This is thought to prevent ADP from activating the platelets and making them clump together. This reduces the likelihood of clots forming in the blood.

A blood clot that forms inside the blood vessels is known as a thrombosis and can be dangerous, as it can cause a blockage that cuts off the blood supply to an organ. A blockage in the arteries supplying blood to the heart or brain can cause a heart attack or stroke. A blockage in the blood vessels in the extremities, eg legs, may result in gangrene.

Blood clots and blockages mainly result from a build up of atherosclerosis on the inside of blood vessels. Atherosclerosis is a build up of cholesterol and fat cells that narrows the blood vessels and makes their interiors rough and bumpy. This makes it more difficult for blood to flow through the vessels, and increases the likelihood of clots forming in the vessels.

People who have already suffered a heart attack or stroke are at risk of having another because of the atherosclerosis in their arteries. People with unstable angina are also at risk of a heart attack because of the atherosclerosis in their arteries.

Ticagrelor is used to prevent blood clots forming within blood vessels, and therefore reduce the risk of further atherothrombotic events in these groups of people.

What is it used for?

Reducing the risk of atherothrombotic events (eg heart attack, stroke, further heart attacks or death) in people who have had a heart attack, or are having severe chest pain caused by unstable angina.

They are given in combination with low dose aspirin (75mg to 150mg daily dose), unless aspirin is unsuitable.

Contain active ingredients: Triamcinolone acetonide which is a corticosteroid 

Corticosteroids are medicines used for reducing inflammation. 

Inflammation of the skin happens as a result of allergy or irritation of the skin, and is caused by the release of various substances that are important in the immune system. These substances cause blood vessels to widen and result in the irritated area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful, such as is seen in dermatitis or eczema. 

When it is applied to the skin it works by acting inside the cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances. 

This reduces swelling, redness and itch. 

What is it used for?

Aristocort A Cream 0.1% is indicated in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis: contact dermatitis: eczematous dermatitis; generalized erythroderma: eczematous psoriasis: neurodermatitis; nummular eczema: otitis externa and seborrheic dermatitis.

Reducing itching, redness, and swelling associated with many skin conditions.

Contain the active ingredient :  Nebivolol hydrochloride, which is a type of medicine called a beta-blocker. Nebivolol is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.

Beta-blockers work by blocking beta receptors that are found in various parts of the body. Blocking beta receptors prevents the action of two chemicals, called noradrenaline and adrenaline, which are produced naturally by the body. These are often referred to as the 'fight or flight' chemicals because they are responsible for the body's reaction to stressful situations.

Beta receptors are found in the heart. When they are blocked by nebivolol, this reduces the effect of adrenaline and noradrenaline on the heart. As a result, the heart beats more slowly and with less force. This reduces the pressure at which the blood is pumped out of the heart and around the body, which in turn reduces the blood pressure. Nebivolol also widens the blood vessels, which lowers the resistance in the blood vessels and also helps to lower the blood pressure. Due to these actions, nebivolol is used mainly to treat high blood pressure.

Both the actions described above also decrease the effort that the heart needs to make to pump blood around the body. This means that nebivolol can also be used to treat chronic heart failure, where the pumping action of the heart has become less effective. When starting treatment for heart failure, your dose will be increased gradually every one to two weeks. You will need to be monitored by your doctor for two hours when you start treatment and every time your dose is increased.

What is it used for?

High blood pressure with no known cause (essential hypertension).

Chronic, stable, mild to moderate heart failure in addition to standard medicines, in people aged 70 years or over.

Contain the active ingredient : Clopidogrel bisulfate 98 mg (equiv to clopidogrel 75 mg) which works by preventing a natural substance called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from binding to its receptors on platelets. ADP is one of the chemicals in the body that cause platelets to clump together and start the process of blood clotting. As clopidogrel stops ADP from binding to platelets, it reduces the likelihood of clots forming in the blood.

A blood clot that forms inside a blood vessel can be dangerous because it can block the blood supply to an organ. A blockage in the arteries supplying blood to the heart or brain can cause a heart attack or stroke. A blockage in the blood vessels in the extremities, eg legs, may result in gangrene.

Blood clots and blockages mainly result from a build up of atherosclerosis on the inside of blood vessels. Atherosclerosis is a build up of cholesterol and fat cells that narrows the blood vessels and makes their interiors rough and bumpy. This makes it more difficult for blood to flow through the vessels, and increases the likelihood of clots forming in the vessels.

People who have already suffered a heart attack or stroke are at risk of having another because of the atherosclerosis in their arteries. People with unstable angina are also at risk of a heart attack because of the atherosclerosis in their arteries. Similarly, people who have narrowed arteries in their extremities, eg legs (peripheral arterial disease), are also at risk of blood clots. These events are known as atherothrombotic events.

What is it used for?

Preventing blood clots that can cause a heart attack or stroke.

Clopidogrel is prescribed to people who have already had a heart attack or a stroke caused by a blood clot. It's also prescribed for people with unstable angina, atrial fibrillation or peripheral arterial disease.

Clopidogrel is sometimes referred to as a 'blood thinner' or an 'antiplatelet'. It may also be described as making the blood 'less sticky'. These are just other ways of saying that clopidogrel reduces the risk of blood clots forming in the blood vessels.

Contain the active ingredient : Clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate 75 mg, Acetylsalicylic acid 75 mg 

Clopidogrel works by preventing a natural substance called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from binding to its receptors on platelets. ADP is one of the chemicals in the body that cause platelets to clump together and start the process of blood clotting. As clopidogrel stops ADP from binding to platelets, it reduces the likelihood of clots forming in the blood.

Acetylsalicylic acid  (known as aspirin). Aspirin works by blocking the action of an enzyme in the body called cyclo-oxygenase (COX). COX is involved in the production of prostaglandins, which cause pain, swelling and inflammation, and thromboxane, which causes platelets to clump together and make blood clots. By blocking the action of COX, aspirin prevents the production of these chemicals.

Contain the active ingredient : Dabigatran etexilate, which is a type of medicine called a direct thrombin inhibitor. It is used to stop blood clots forming within the blood vessels.

Blood clots usually only form to stop bleeding that has occurred as a result of injury to tissue in the body. However, after hip or knee replacement surgery there is a risk of blood clots forming in the blood vessels. This risk is increased by being immobile for long periods of time following the surgery, as a result of slowed blood flow in the leg and pelvic veins. A clot that forms in the veins of the leg is called a deep vein thrombosis. These dangerous blood clots can travel to the lungs, causing a serious condition called a pulmonary embolism.

People with a type of fast irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (AF) are also at risk of blood clots forming, both within the heart and in the blood vessels. This is because the abnormal heart rhythm disrupts blood flow in the blood vessels. Clots in the heart can detach and travel to the brain, causing a stroke. Clots can also travel in and block other blood vessels around the body.

The blood clotting process is complicated. When blood begins to clot, a cascade of chemicals is activated within the body, resulting in the formation of an enzyme called thrombin. Thrombin is central to the complete process of blood clotting. It causes a protein called fibrinogen to be converted into another called fibrin. Fibrin binds blood cells called platelets together, and this forms the blood clot.

Dabigatran works by binding to thrombin in the clotting process described above and blocking its action. This stops the formation of fibrin, the essential component of blood clots. Dabigatran can therefore prevent blood clots from developing.

What is it used for?

Preventing dangerous blood clots in the veins (venous thromboembolism) in adults who have undergone elective total hip or knee replacement surgery.

Treating blood clots in the veins of the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or in the lungs (pulmonary embolism).

Preventing the formation of blood clots that can cause a stroke or blockage of other blood vessels in the body in people with a type of irregular heartbeat called non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). This medicine is licensed to prevent these types of blood clots in people with AF who have one or more of the following additional risk factors:

• a history of stroke, mini-stroke (TIA) or blood clots
• heart failure

Contains the active ingredient : Felodipine, which is a type of medicine called a calcium-channel blocker. This type of medicine acts on the blood vessels. (NB. Felodipine is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.)

Felodipine works by slowing the movement of calcium through the muscle cells that are found in the walls of blood vessels. It does this by blocking 'calcium channels' in these muscle cells. Calcium is needed by muscle cells in order for them to contract, so by depriving them of calcium, felodipine causes the muscle cells to relax.

Felodipine acts specifically on the muscle cells in the walls of arteries, causing them to relax. This allows the arteries in the body to widen, an effect that has two main uses.

The relaxing and widening of the small arteries in the body decreases the resistance that the heart has to push against in order to pump the blood around the body. This reduces the pressure within the blood vessels. Felodipine can therefore be used to lower high blood pressure.

The widening effect on the small arteries in the heart also improves the blood and therefore oxygen supply to the heart. This feature means felodipine can be used in the management of angina. The chest pain of angina is caused by insufficient oxygen supply to the heart. As felodipine improves this oxygen supply, and also reduces the effort the heart has to make to pump blood, it is used to prevent angina attacks.

What is it used for?

High blood pressure (hypertension).

Angina (as a regular long-term treatment to prevent attacks).

Contain the active ingredient : Bilastine, which is a type of medicine called a non-sedating antihistamine. It works by preventing the actions of histamine - a substance produced by the body when it reacts to a foreign substance such as pollen or pet fur (an allergen). Histamine acts on histamine receptors, causing a chain reaction that results in allergic symptoms.

In allergic reactions like hay fever, histamine causes inflammation of the nose, eyes or airways, resulting in itchy, watery eyes, a runny, blocked or itchy nose and sneezing. In allergic skin reactions histamine causes skin inflammation, rashes and itching.

Bilastine blocks histamine receptors and so stops the chain reaction that causes the symptoms of the allergy. It usually starts to work within an hour after taking a dose.

What is it used for?

Relieving symptoms of hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis).

Relieving symptoms of nasal allergies such as pet allergies or dust mite allergies that occur throughout the year (perennial allergic rhinitis).

Contain the active ingredient : Montelukast, which is a type of medicine known as a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are chemicals released by the body as part of allergic and inflammatory reactions. 

Leukotrienes are released from the lungs in people with asthma, causing inflammation and increased mucus production in the airways. They also cause the muscles lining the airways to contract, which narrows the airways. All of this makes it difficult for air to get in and out of the lungs.

Montelukast blocks leukotriene receptors in the lungs and, as a result, blocks the actions of the leukotrienes. This prevents the excess mucus production, inflammation and narrowing of the airways and so prevents asthma attacks. It is also useful for preventing asthma triggered by exercise.

Leukotrienes are also released from the nasal passages when people with seasonal allergies, such as hayfever, are exposed to substances that trigger their allergy (allergens, eg pollen). The leukotrienes contribute to the symptoms of hayfever, such as a runny or blocked nose, sneezing and itchy nose. This medicine blocks the effect of leukotrienes in the nose and so can relieve hayfever symptoms in people with asthma who also suffer from hayfever.

What is it used for?

Asthma, including asthma mainly triggered by exercise.

The medicine can also provide relief from hayfever symptoms in people with asthma who also suffer from hayfever (seasonal allergic rhinitis).

Montelukast is used for people whose asthma is not fully controlled by using regular inhaled corticosteroids and short-acting beta agonist relievers such as salbutamol. It is used in addition to these medicines.

Montelukast should be taken regularly to prevent asthma attacks. You should continue to take it even when your symptoms are under control.

Direction

Oral granules may be administered directly into the mouth, mixed w/ a spoonful of cold/room temp soft food (eg, applesauce), or dissolved in 1 teaspoonful (5 mL) of cold/room temp baby formula/breast milk. Do not dissolve in other liqd. Should be administered immediately (w/in 15 min).
