( Diltiazem Hydrochloride Tablet )
Neocard® is a calcium antagonist. It is indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of classical and vasospastic angina pectoris and hypertension, myocardial infarction, coronary artery spasm, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, Raynaud's phenomenon, oesophagal motility disorder, and migraine.
Nitrosol
( Nitroglycerin Aerosol )
Nitrosol® contains the active ingredient Glyceryl trinitrate, used to enable the heart to work more easily. Glyceryl trinitrate works by releasing a chemical called nitric oxide. This chemical is also made naturally by the body and has the effect of making the veins and arteries relax and widen (dilate). This increases the space within the blood vessels and therefore reduces the resistance within the blood vessels, which makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
Widening the veins also decreases the volume of blood that returns to the heart in the veins with each heartbeat, and this makes it easier for the heart to pump that blood out again. As a result of both these actions, the heart requires less energy to pump the blood around the body and therefore does not need as much oxygen.
Nitrosol® is taken as a spray that is sprayed under the tongue. This area of the mouth has a large supply of blood vessels that allows the medicine to be rapidly absorbed. Glyceryl trinitrate taken in this way is used to give rapid relief from an angina attack, and can also be used to prevent an anticipated attack, for example before exercise.
Odrel
( Clopidogrel Tablet )
Odrel® (Clopidogrel) is an inhibitor of ADP-induced platelet aggregation acting by direct inhibition of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) binding to its receptor and of the subsequent ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa complex. Each tablet contains Clopidogrel Bisulfate INN equivalent to 75 mg Clopidogrel. Odrel® (Clopidogrel) is indicated for the reduction of atherosclerotic events (myocardial infarction, stroke and vascular death) in patients with atherosclerosis documented by recent stroke, recent myocardial infarction or established peripheral arterial disease.
Odrel Plus
( Clopidogrel and Aspirin Tablet )
Odrel® Plus is a fixed dose combination containing Clopidogrel and Aspirin.Clopidogrel is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel selectively inhibits the binding of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to its platelet receptor and the subsequent ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein GP Complex, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation.Aspirin is also an antiplatelet agent. It acts by causing irreversible inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase enzyme, which leads to decreased formation of thromboxane A2. Since platelets do not synthesise new enzyme, the action of Aspirin on platelet cyclo-oxygenase is permanent, lasting for the life of the platelets (7-10 days).Odrel® Plus is indicated for the prevention of ischemic events, myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death in-patients what acute coronary syndrome.
Olmesan Plus
( Olmesartan Medoxomil and Hydrochlorothiazide )
It is a combination of an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (AT1 subtype), olmesartan medoxomil, and a thiazide diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). Olmesartan medoxomil, a prodrug, is hydrolyzed to olmesartan during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
Pacet
( Amiodarone Tablet )
Pacet® (Amiodarone) is a benzofuran derivative with an iodine content of nearly 40%. Its anti-anginal effect is based on the dilation of the coronary arteries; it reduces the peripheral vascular resistance, and is an antiarrhythmic agent for dysrhythmias of atrial and ventricular origin. It influences all the electrophysiologically important parts of the heart; it thus especially prolongs the action potential and refractory period of myocardial tissues and the atrioventricular conduction time. In comparison with other antiarrhythmic agents amiodarone possesses fewer arrhythmogenic effects.
Primace
( Ramipril Capsule )
Primace® (Ramipril) is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, which after hydrolysis to ramiprilat, blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor substance, angiotensin II. So, inhibition of ACE by ramipril results in decreased plasma angiotensin II, which leads to decreased vasopressor activity and decreased aldosterone secretion. Thus ramipril exerts its antihypertensive activity. It is also effective in the management of heart failure and reduction of the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction and death from cardiovascular events. It also reduces the risk of new diagnosis of diabetes. It is long acting and well tolerated, so, can be used in long term therapy. Primace® is indicated in Mild to severe hypertension, Heart failure, To reduce the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction and death from cardiovascular events in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease.
Prosan
( Losartan Potassium Tablet )
Prosan® (Losartan Potassium) is an angiotensin-II receptor (type AT1) antagonist. Losartan and its principal active metabolite block the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor found in many tissues.It is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
