Most of macrolides are antibiotics inhibiting protein synthesis by blocking microbial ribosome. Ketolides are especially effective as they bind to two ribosomal sites. The drugs tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, and sirolimus, which are used as immunosuppressants or immunomodulators, are also macrolides. They have similar activity to ciclosporin.
group of antibiotics produced by various strains of Streptomyces that have a complex macrocyclic structure: usually a large ketone ring with two sugar rings at its 3 and 5 positions.

Comments
Also known as milk of magnesia (because of its milk-like appearance when mixed with water), this compound is a common component of laxatives and antacids, used to treat symptoms caused by too much stomach acid. Magnesium Hydroxide and Aluminum Hydroxide are often used together to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. They may be used to treat these symptoms in patients with peptic ulcer, gastritis, esophagitis, hiatal hernia, or too much acid in the stomach (gastric hyperacidity). Coronary vasodilator and an antianginal drug. Molsidomine is a long acting vasodilator that is metabolized in the liver to the active metabolite linsidomine. Linsidomine is an unstable compound that releases nitric oxide (NO) upon decay as the actual vasodilating compound. The drug attracted attention in the 80s and is used for treatment and prevention of angina pectoris attacks, and for treatment of chronic heart failure, revention of ischemic neurological deficits and delayed brain infarction. Relieving Ointment and Cream that helps prevent infection and provides temporary relief of pain or discomfort in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It cam be also used to treat superficial eye infections, otitis externa and encephalopathy. Generic Name: bacitracin/neomycin/polymyxin Brand Names: Lanabiotic and Neosporin. Ingredients: Neomycin, Polymyxin, Bacitracin Neosporin ointment is an antibiotic combination killing sensitive bacteria on the skin or in wound. A component of neomycin that is produced by Streptomyces fradiae. "Cuddle" or "Love" hormone that also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. It's molecular formula is C43H66N12O12S2. Also known as Pitocin; Syntocinon; Ocytocin; Endopituitrina; Oxitocina. It is secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain. Oxytocin acts on smooth muscle cells, e.g. causing uterine contractions and milk ejection. Oxytocin is released when people snuggle up, experience orgasm, bond socially or play with their pets. In the brain, oxytocin is involved in social recognition and bonding, during orgasm in both sexes, during labor, and after stimulation of the nipples in females, and might be involved in the formation of trust between people. As a medication, it is used to cause contraction of the uterus, which is used to start labor, increase the speed of labor, and to stop bleeding following delivery. Perindopril is a long-acting ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure (recommended for the initial management of hypertension especially in ages younger than 55), heart failure, or stable coronary artery disease in form of perindopril arginine (trade names include Coversyl, Coversum, Coverex, Acertil, Prestarium (Престариум А), Prexum) or perindopril erbumine (Aceon, Armix, Coverene, Perineva, Prenessa, Vectoryl) For perindopril as treatment for hypertension, the initial dose is 5 mg perindopril arginine (or 4 mg perindopril erbumine) once daily, then the dose may be increased to 10 mg perindopril arginine (or 8 mg perindopril erbumine) after one month of treatment to improve blood pressure control or in case of concomitant stable coronary artery disease. The Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial showed the benefits of taking the two drugs perindopril and amlodipine together. Combination of Perindopril arginine (ACE inhibitor) and Amlodipine (calcium channel antagonist) used as an antihypertensive drug and for improving the prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The interest of fixed-combination perindopril/amlodipine came from the results of ASCOT trial, the first trial with a comparison of antihypertensive regimens including two drugs in each arm: perindopril+amlodipine vs. atenolol+a diuretic. Brand names: Acerycal; Amlodipine/perindopril; Bi-Prestarium; Calcertil; Co-Prestarium; Coveram; Covercard; Covercor; Coverlam; Coversical; Coversyl AM; Perindopril arginine/amlodipine besylate; Prestalia; Prestance; Prestarium-Co; Presteram; Prexanor; Proacertil; Procoversyl; Reaptan; S-05985; Viacoram Aluminum Phosphate containing antacid making stomach juices less acidic (by neutralizing stomach acid). Phosphalugel is used for the relief of heartburn, sour stomach, and peptic ulcer pain and to promote the healing of peptic ulcers. Usual dosage is 20-40 mg per dose, 2-3 times per day but no more than 120 mg in 24 hrs. No significant side effects are known. Aluminum on its own could cause muscle weakness, bone pain, osteoporosis, constipation (like other alluminum-containing antacids counteracted by Magnesium), delayed growth in children, altered mental abilities, dementia and seizures after prolonged accumulation. May be associated with Pyrexia, Ulcers, Asthenia, Anemia. Antacids with alginic acid (such as Gaviscon that contains aluminum hydroxide and magnesium carbonate) contain a foaming agent that floats on top of the stomach contents. This may help keep stomach juices from coming in contact with the esophagus. Antacids that contain simethicone (such as Maalox Anti-Gas or Mylanta Gas - in addition to Aluminum hydroxide and Magnesium hydroxide) may break down gas bubbles in the stomach. This may help reduce burping that might push stomach acid into the esophagus. Aluminum ions in antacids like Aludrox, Phosphalugel and Simeco are bound to sialic acid residues in mucus glycoproteins, thus retarding the transit of these antacids through both the AS and the real stomach and prolonging their activity in both situations. When the Al:Mg ratio is low or when the amount of antacid salts is large, aluminum ions tend to be buried in complexes, giving them less chance to interact with gastric mucus, so they transit the stomach more quickly. combination of perindopril arginine (L-arginine salt of perindopril, an ACE inhibitor) and amlodipine besylate (benzene sulphonic acid salt of amlodipine, a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker). PRESTALIA tablets are formulated in three different strengths for oral administration. Tablets contain perindopril arginine 3.5 mg, 7 mg, or 14 mg and amlodipine 2.5 mg, 5 mg, or 10 mg for the following available perindopril arginine/amlodipine combinations: 3.5/2.5 mg, 7/5 mg, and 14/10 mg. Inactive ingredients are lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate. Prestance is a combination of Perindopril arginine and Amlodipine besylate. Strength: 5/5 (5mg perindopril arginine corresponds to 3,395mg of perindopril and 6.935 mg of Amlodipine Besylate corresponds to 5mg of Amlodipine) 5/10 (3.395 mg Perindopril /10 mg Amlopidine) 10/5 (6.79 mg Perindopril /5 mg Amlopidine) 10/10 (6.79 mg Perindopril /10 mg Amlopidine) |
