Contain the active ingredient : Agomelatine, which is a type of medicine called an antidepressant. It works in a different way to other antidepressants.

Agomelatine works mainly by mimicking the action of melatonin in the brain. Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland, a structure in the brain. It is normally released soon after it starts to get dark. The amount produced then increases until about four am, before dropping off again. Melatonin helps control circadian rhythms and promotes sleep.

By mimicking the action of melatonin, agomelatine helps to re-synchronise the body's circadian rhythms. These include not only sleep/wake cycles, but also mood, anxiety, appetite and body temperature. These circadian rhythms, particularly sleep cycles, are severely disturbed in people with depression. Agomelatine's main action is to improve the onset and quality of sleep and this in turn has an antidepressant effect.

Agomelatine also helps to improve mood in depression by increasing noradrenaline and dopamine release in the brain. These are natural chemicals called neurotransmitters that are involved, amongst other things, in regulating mood.

Agomelatine won't change your personality or make you feel instantly happy. It works over time to correct the chemical changes in your brain that have made you become depressed, and gets you back to feeling like your old self.

What is it used for?

Treat depression in adults.

Contain the active ingredient : Enalapril, which is a type of medicine called an ACE inhibitor. (NB. Enalapril is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.)

ACE inhibitors work by blocking the action of a compound in the body called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Normally ACE produces another compound called angiotensin II, as part of the body's natural control of blood pressure. Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to constrict and narrow, which increases the pressure inside the blood vessels.

As enalapril blocks the action of ACE, it reduces the production of angiotensin II. This means that the blood vessels are allowed to relax and widen. The overall effect of this is a drop in blood pressure, hence enalapril can be used to lower high blood pressure.

The reduced pressure within the blood vessels means that the heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump the blood around the body. This means that ACE inhibitors such as enalapril can also be used to improve the symptoms of heart failure, where the heart is not pumping as efficiently as it should be.

What is it used for?

High blood pressure (hypertension).

Heart failure.

Preventing symptomatic heart failure in people with a poorly functioning heart (left ventricular dysfunction) who currently have no symptoms.

Contains the active ingredient : Amlodipine Besylate which is a type of medicine called a calcium-channel blocker (sometimes known as calcium-antagonists). Calcium-channel blockers act on muscle cells that are found in the walls of arteries.

Amlodipine works by relaxing these muscle cells, which allows the arteries to widen. This lowers the blood pressure within the arteries. Amlodipine is taken on a regular basis to lower high blood pressure.

By relaxing and widening the arteries in the heart, amlodipine also improves the blood and therefore oxygen supply to the heart.

Angina chest pain occurs when the heart doesn't get enough oxygen for the work it is doing. Amlodipine improves this oxygen supply. By lowering blood pressure it also reduces the effort the heart has to make to pump blood around the body, so that it doesn't need as much oxygen. Taken regularly, amlodipine can therefore prevent angina attacks.

What is it used for?

Lowering high blood pressure (hypertension).

Preventing angina attacks, including Prinzmetals or variant angina.

Contain the active ingredient : Irbesartan, which is a type of medicine called an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. (Irbesartan tablets are also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.) Irbesartan lowers blood pressure by preventing the action of a hormone in the body called angiotensin II.

Angiotensin II is involved in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. It has two main actions. It causes the blood vessels to narrow and the kidneys to retain salt and water, which increases the volume of fluid in the blood vessels.

Irbesartan blocks the receptors that angiotensin II acts on, and so prevents its actions. The main result of this is that the peripheral blood vessels are allowed to widen, which means that there is more space and less resistance in these blood vessels. This is the main mechanism by which the pressure in the blood vessels is lowered.

Blocking the actions of angiotensin II also increases the amount of fluid removed from the blood by the kidneys. This decreases the amount of fluid in the blood vessels, which also lessens the resistance and pressure in the blood vessels.

The combined overall effect of these changes is to lower the blood pressure, hence irbesartan is used to treat high blood pressure.

Irbesartan can also be used to protect the kidneys and slow down the decrease in kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

What is it used for?

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

Kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

Contains the active ingredient:  Betamethasone Dipropionate (equiv to Betamethasone 0.5 mg) 0.64 mg, which is a type of medicine called a corticosteroid. 

Corticosteroids are medicines used for reducing inflammation. Inflammation of the skin happens due to the 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, resulting in the irritated area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful. 

When betamethasone is applied to the skin it works by acting inside the skin cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances. This reduces swelling, redness and itch. Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that is applied to the skin to treat a wide variety of inflammatory skin diseases, such as eczema. 

Contains betamethasone formulated as a scalp application, which is thinner and easier to apply to the scalp than the betamethasone ointments and creams used on the rest of the body. It is used to treat inflammatory disorders of the scalp, such as psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis. 

What is it used for? 

* Inflammation of the scalp due to excessive oil secretion (seborrhoeic dermatitis) 

* Inflammatory skin disorders affecting the scalp 

* Psoriasis of the scalp

Contain the active ingredient : Allopurinol, which is a type of medicine called a xanthine-oxidase inhibitor. 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.

Contain 2 active ingredients: Irbesartan 300 mg & Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg

Hydrochlorothiazide is a type of medicine known as a thiazide diuretic. Thiazide diuretics act in the kidneys, where they increase the production of urine. They work by causing the kidneys to increase the amount of salts, such as potassium and sodium, that are filtered out of the blood and into the urine. When these salts are filtered out of the blood by the kidneys, water is also drawn alongside. As hydrochlorothiazide increases the removal of salts from the blood, it also causes more water to be drawn out of the blood and into the urine.

Removing water from the blood decreases the volume of fluid circulating through the blood vessels, which decreases the pressure within the blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide therefore lowers blood pressure.

Contains the antifungal medicine : Clotrimazole. Clotrimazole kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. It works by stopping the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption in production of ergosterol causes holes to appear in the fungal cell membrane.

The cell membranes of fungi are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the contents of the cells from leaking out. By causing holes to appear in the cell membranes, clotrimazole allows essential constituents of the fungal cells to leak out. This kills the fungi and treats the infection.

What is it used for?

Treating skin infections caused by yeasts (eg Candida), dermatophytes (eg Trichophyton, Tinea), moulds and other fungi, such as the following:

Athlete's foot (tinea pedis).

Fungal infection of the groin, ie jock itch (tinea cruris).

Ringworm (tinea corporis).

Fungal nappy rash caused by infection with Candida albicans.

Sweat rash caused by infection with Candida albicans.

Relieving the external symptoms (candidal vulvitis) of vaginal thrush (candidal vaginitis). (This cream should be used in combination with another medicine that treats the infection inside your vagina - ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice about which products to use.)

Inflammation of the penis and/or foreskin (candidal balanitis) caused by infection with Candida albicans (also known as thrush).

Contains the active ingredient :  Betamethasone, which is a type of medicine called a topical corticosteroid. 

Corticosteroids (also known as steroids) are medicines used for reducing inflammation. Skin inflammation may occur as a result of an allergic reaction, or irritation of the skin. It is caused by the immune system releasing substances that make blood vessels in the skin widen. This makes the irritated area become red, swollen, itchy and painful, as is seen in dermatitis or eczema.

When betamethasone is applied to the skin it acts inside cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances. This reduces swelling, redness and itching.

There is a range of potencies of corticosteroids available for application to the skin. Betnovate cream, ointment and lotion contain betamethasone valerate 0.1% and are classed as potent corticosteroids. They are prescribed to treat various inflammatory skin disorders that have not responded to milder steroids.

Betnovate cream is more suitable for moist, weeping areas of skin, while the thicker, more greasy ointment is more suitable for dry, scaly areas of skin. Betnovate lotion spreads easily and is more suitable for hairy areas of skin, or when minimal application to a large area of skin is needed.

What is it used for?

It used to treat a variety of inflammatory, allergic or itchy skin disorders such as those below. It's prescribed when milder corticosteroids haven't been effective.

Eczema of various types.

Skin inflammation due to allergies or irritants (allergic contact dermatitis or irritant contact dermatitis).

Inflammatory skin condition with greasy, red and scaly areas (seborrhoeic dermatitis).

Psoriasis.

Thickened skin rash caused by excessive scratching to relieve itching (neurodermatitis, eg lichen simplex).

An eruption of hard nodules in the skin accompanied by intense itching (prurigo nodularis).

Skin disorder causing a flat, itchy, violet rash, usually on the wrists, shins, lower back and genitals (lichen planus).

Inflammatory skin disease known as discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE).

Intense and widespread reddening of the skin (generalised erythroderma) in combination with oral or injected corticosteroids.

Reactions to insect bites and stings.
