Contains 2 active ingredients :   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.

Contain the active ingredient:  Rifampicin, which is a type of medicine called a rifamycin antibiotic. Rifampicin is most frequently used to treat tuberculosis (TB), but can also be used to treat infections caused by certain other bacteria. Rifampicin is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.

Rifampicin works by killing the bacteria that are causing the infection. It does this by targeting and inactivating a bacterial enzyme called RNA-polymerase. The bacteria use RNA-polymerase to make essential proteins and to copy their own genetic information (DNA). Without this enzyme the bacteria cannot reproduce and they die.

There are two stages in the treatment for tuberculosis. In the first two months treatment is aimed at killing as many bacteria as possible. Therefore several anti-TB drugs with different mechanisms of action are used at the same time (usually rifampicin, pyrazinamide, isoniazid and ethambutol). After this time some of the medicines are stopped and the others (usually rifampicin and isoniazid) are continued for a further four months to kill any remaining bacteria. Rifampicin is used in both stages of treatment.

The bacteria that cause TB are difficult to treat. By using several medicines at the same time, the bacteria can be targeted in different ways and hence treatment is more likely to be effective than using a single medicine. In addition, using different medicines together makes it less likely that bacteria will develop resistance to the treatment.

Rifampicin can also be used to treat infections such as brucellosis, leporosy, legionnaire's disease and serious infections caused by Staphylococcal bacteria. As for TB, when treating these infections, rifampicin should be used in combination with another antibiotic to prevent resistance occuring.

Rifampicin is also used to prevent certain types of meningitis in people who have been exposed to the infection.

What is it used for?

Treatment of tuberculosis (in combination with other anti-tuberculosis medicines).

Leprosy (in combination with at least one other anti-leprosy medicine).

Contain the active ingredient : Norfloxacin, which is a type of medicine called a quinolone antibiotic. Antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. 

Norfloxacin works by killing the bacteria that are causing an infection. It does this by entering the bacterial cells and inhibiting a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This enzyme is involved in replicating and repairing the genetic material (DNA) of the bacteria. If this enzyme doesn't work, the bacteria cannot reproduce or repair themselves and this kills the bacteria.

Norfloxacin is filtered out of the blood and into the urine by the kidneys. High levels of the medicine pass into the urine, which means norfloxacin can be used to treat bacterial infections in the urinary tract.

What is it used for?

Bacterial infections of the urinary tract, including cystitis, chronic prostatitis and urinary infections associated with kidney stones or surgery on the urinary tract.

contain two active ingredients: Estradiol  and Drospirenone. These are forms of the main female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. Estradiol is a naturally occuring form of oestrogen and drospirenone is a synthetic form of progesterone.

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.

In December 2003, a review of the available evidence on the risks and benefits of HRT by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the Committee on Safety of Medicines (CSM) in the UK, concluded that the risks of using HRT long-term to prevent osteoporosis in women aged over 50 years exceed the benefits. As a result, this medicine should not be used as a first-line option for preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis in women over 50. However, it may be used as a second-line option for women at high risk of fractures who cannot take other medicines that are licensed for preventing osteoporosis.

Women considered to be at risk of developing fractures following the menopause include those who have had an early menopause, those with a family history of osteoporosis, those who have had recent prolonged corticosteroid therapy (eg prednisolone), those with a small thin frame, and smokers.

Size : 28 tablets / box

Contain the active ingredient : Furosemide  which is a type of medicine called a loop diuretic. Diuretics are sometimes referred to as 'water tablets'. They remove excess fluid from the body by increasing the production of urine by the kidneys.

Loop diuretics 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 diuretics increase the removal of salts from the blood, they also cause more water to be drawn out of the blood and into the urine.

Furosemide is used to treat conditions where excess fluid has been retained in the body (oedema). For example, in heart failure, the pumping mechanism of the heart is less effective. This can cause fluid to build up in the ankles, causing swelling, and the lungs (pulmonary oedema), which makes it difficult to breathe. Furosemide helps the body to remove this excess fluid. Removing fluid from the blood vessels also decreases the pressure within the blood vessels. This makes it easier for a weak heart to pump blood around the body.

What is it used for?

It  is used to remove excess fluid (oedema) that has been retained in the body, for example due to conditions affecting the heart (eg heart failure), lungs (eg pulmonary oedema), liver (eg cirrhosis), kidneys (eg kidney failure), or blood vessels.

Lowering high blood pressure (hypertension).

Contain the active ingredient : Warfarin which is a type of medicine called an oral anticoagulant. It is used to stop blood clots forming inside the blood vessels. It also stops blood clots that have already formed from getting bigger.

What  is it used for?

Treating and preventing blood clots in the veins of the leg (deep vein thrombosis).

Treating and preventing blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism).

Preventing blood clots from developing in conditions that have an increased risk, eg rheumatic heart disease, atrial fibrillation and after insertion of artificial (prosthetic) heart valves.

Preventing further blood clots that could cause a stroke in people who have had a mini-stroke (transient ischaemic attack).

Why are blood clots dangerous?

Blood clots normally only form to stop bleeding that has occurred as a result of injury to the tissues. However, a blood clot that forms abnormally inside the blood vessels (known as a thrombus) can be dangerous because it can block the blood vessel. The clot may also detach and travel in the bloodstream, eventually getting lodged in a blood vessel and blocking the blood supply to a vital organ such as the heart, brain or lungs.

Some conditions carry an increased risk of blood clots forming inside the blood vessels. This is usually due to a disturbance in the blood flow within the blood vessels. For example, fatty deposits on the walls of the blood vessels (atherosclerosis), or slow blood flow in the leg and pelvic veins can disrupt blood flow, giving a tendency for platelets to clump together and start off the clotting process.

A type of fast irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation can also disrupt blood flow and may lead to blood clots forming in the heart. Heart valve disease can have the same effect, particularly if artificial heart valves have been fitted. Blood clots that develop in the heart can detach and travel to the brain, causing a stroke.

How does it work?

The blood clotting process is complicated. It begins when blood cells called platelets clump together and produce chemicals that activate clotting factors in the blood.

Clotting factors are proteins that are produced by the liver. Vitamin K is essential for their production. The activated clotting factors cause a protein called fibrinogen to be converted into another called fibrin. Fibrin binds the platelets together, forming a blood clot.

Warfarin works by reducing the action of vitamin K, which prevents the production of the clotting factors. Without the clotting factors, fibrinogen can't be converted into fibrin and this makes the blood less able to clot.

The anticoagulant effect of warfarin is measured in terms of the prothombin time, which is the time taken for a sample of blood to clot. This time is expressed as the International Normalised Ratio (INR).

How long does it take to work?

Warfarin takes about three days to build up its full anticoagulant effect. This is because it takes about this long for existing clotting factors to be used up. For this reason, when treating blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism, a faster-acting injected anticoagulant, such as a heparin, is often used to begin with as well.

A course of treatment with warfarin is usually needed for between six weeks and three months to treat a blood clot. Some people may need to keep taking it on a long-term basis to prevent blood clots.

Contain the active ingredient : Colchicine 

What is it used for?

Relieving the pain of acute attacks of gout. Colchicine is used for people who can't take anti-inflammatory painkillers called NSAIDs, eg diclofenac.

Preventing attacks of gout in people who are starting treatment with long-term preventive medicines such as allopurinol, febuxostat or sulfinpyrazone.

How does it work?

In gout, crystals of uric acid are deposited in certain joints. White blood cells migrate to the areas of the body where uric acid has been deposited. They attempt to engulf the crystals, and, as a result, lactic acid and pro-inflammatory enzymes are released. These substances cause the characteristic pain and swelling of gout.

Colchicine stops white blood cells moving into the inflamed areas and this reduces pain and inflammation in the joint.

Contain the active ingredient : Fluconazole  which is a type of medicine called a triazole antifungal. It kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes.

Fluconazole works by stopping fungi and yeasts from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of their cell membranes. Fluconazole causes holes to appear in the cell membranes, which allows essential constituents of the fungal or yeast cells to leak out. This kills the fungi or yeast, which either clears up the infection or prevents it from developing.

Fluconazole is used to treat and prevent a number of different types of fungal and yeast infections, particularly those caused by Candida or Cryptococcus species of fungi.

What is it used for?

Fluconazole is an antifungal medicine prescribed to treat the following fungal infections:

Vaginal thrush (candidal vaginitis), including preventing recurrent infections.

Thrush affecting the penis (candidal balanitis).

Candida infections of the linings of the mouth (oral thrush), throat or foodpipe (oesophagus).

Fungal skin infections, such as athlete's foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), jock itch (tinea cruris), pityriasis versicolor, or Candida skin infections.

Fungal nail infections.

Internal fungal infections caused by Candida, eg infections of the bloodstream, urinary tract, heart, lungs, abdomen or other widespread internal infections (systemic candidiasis).

A fungal lung infection called coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever).

Fungal infections caused by Cryptococcus fungi (cryptococcosis), including cryptococcal meningitis and infections affecting the lungs or skin.

Preventing relapse of disease caused by Cryptococcus or Candida fungi, eg cryptococcal meningitis or oral thrush, in people with HIV or AIDS.

Preventing fungal infections in people with a weakened immune system and low white blood cell counts, for example due to chemotherapy, radiotherapy or bone marrow transplants.

Contain the active ingredient : Hyoscine Butylbromide.

Hyoscine works by relaxing the muscle that is found in the walls of the stomach, intestines, bowel, bile duct and urinary tract. This type of muscle is called smooth muscle or involuntary muscle. It normally contracts and relaxes in response to natural body chemicals called neurotransmitters. The contractions are caused by a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. These contractions are not under our conscious control and we are not normally aware of them. However, if the muscles go into spasm this can cause pain.

Hyoscine stops the spasms in the smooth muscle by preventing acetylcholine from acting on the muscle. It does this by blocking the receptors on the muscle cells that the acetylcholine would normally act on.

By preventing acetylcholine from acting on the muscle in the GI and GU tracts, hyoscine reduces the muscle contractions. This allows the muscle to relax and reduces the painful spasms and cramps.

What is it used for?

Buscopan is used to relieve colicky abdominal pain that is caused by painful spasms in the muscles of the gastro-intestinal (GI) or genito-urinary (GU) tract.

Spasms of the stomach, intestines or bile duct (gastro-intestinal tract), including those associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Spasms of the bladder or urinary system (genito-urinary tract).
