• ANTIBIOTIC:

An antibiotic is a chemical substance that either stops the growth or kills bacteria. Bacteria are living organisms. Millions of them are in the air we breathe, in the food we eat and on the surfaces we touch.Harmful or foreign bacteria find the human body the perfect host because its warm and provides constant nutrition. These bacteria cause infections when they enter the body.

USE:
Antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. These kinds of infections are called bacterial infections. 

• ANTIBACTERIAL

Any drug that destroys bacteria or inhibits their growth Antibacterial: Anything that destroys bacteria or suppresses their growth or their ability to reproduce.

Antihypertensive Drugs are a class of drugs that are used in medicine and pharmacology to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). There are many classes of antihypertensives, which—by varying means—act by lowering blood pressure. Evidence suggests that reduction of the blood pressure by 5-6 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 40%, of coronary heart disease by 15-20%, and reduces the likelihood of dementia, heart failure, and mortality from cardiovascular disease. Anti-Hypertensive Drugs are used to help control blood pressure in people whose blood pressure is too high.


Blood pressure is a measurement of the force with which blood moves through the bodys system of blood vessels. Although everyones blood pressure goes up and down in the course of a typical day-getting higher when they are active and going down when they sleep. Some people have blood pressure that stays high all the time. This condition is known as hypertension. Hypertension is not the same as nervous tension. People who have high blood pressure are not necessarily tense, high-strung or nervous. They may not even be aware of their condition.


Being aware of high blood pressure and doing something to control it are extremely important, however. Untreated, high blood pressure can lead to diseases of the heart and arteries, kidney damage, or stroke, and can shorten life expectancy.

Controlling primary hypertension, on the other hand, is usually a life-long commitment. Although people may be able to reduce the amount of medicine they take as their blood pressure improves, they usually must continue taking it for the rest of their lives.


Description
Many different types of drugs are used, alone or in combination with other drugs, to treat high blood pressure. The major categories are: ·

• Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors: ACE inhibitors work by preventing a chemical in the blood, angiotensin I, from being converted into a substance that increases salt and water retention in the body. These drugs also make blood vessels relax, which further reduces blood pressure. ·
• Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists: These drugs act at a later step in the same process that ACE inhibitors affect. Like ACE inhibitors, they lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. ·
• Beta blockers: Beta blockers affect the bodys response to certain nerve impulses. This, in turn, decreases the force and rate of the hearts contractions, which lowers blood pressure.                                          
• Blood Vessel Dilators (Vasodilators): These drugs lower blood pressure by relaxing muscles in the blood vessel walls. ·
• Calcium Channel Blockers: Drugs in this group slow the movement of calcium into the cells of blood vessels. This relaxes the blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. ·
• Diuretics: These drugs control blood pressure by eliminating excess salt and water from the body. ·
• Nerve Blockers: These drugs control nerve impulses along certain nerve pathways. This allows blood vessels to relax and lowers blood pressure.

Anti-inflammatory:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) relieve pain and reduce inflammation. They are one of the most commonly used medications in adults. A variety of NSAIDs are available, including at least 20 in the United States and more elsewhere.

Anti-inflammatory refers to the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation. Anti-inflammatory drugs make up about half of analgesics, remedying pain by reducing inflammation as opposed to opioids which affect the brain.

How They Work:
NSAIDs work to reduce pain and inflammation by inhibiting enzymes, called cyclooxygenases, which participate in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins have a number of functions in the body. Some of their more important ones include:

• Cause pain when they come in contact with certain nerve fibers
• Help protect the stomach lining against acid and digestive enzymes
• Participate in both blood flow and blood clotting regulation
• In some people, prostaglandins are important regulators of blood flow in the kidney

Analgesic:
A drug or medicine given to reduce pain without resulting in loss of consciousness. Analgesics are sometimes referred to as painkiller medications. There are many different types of analgesic medications available in both prescription and over-the-counter preparations. Examples of analgesic drugs include aspirin, acetaminophen , ibuprofen , naproxen , the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib, and narcotic drugs including morphine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone (Vicodin).


Antipyretic

1. relieving or reducing fever.

2. An agent that so acts.Drugs that lower your body temperature from a raised state. However, they will not affect the normal body temperature if one does not have fever.Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override an interleukin-induced increase in temperature. The body will then work to lower the temperature and the result is a reduction in fever. Most are also used for other purposes. For example, the most common antipyretics in the United States are aspirin and paracetamol , which are used primarily as pain relievers. NSAIDs are antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and pain relievers. There is some debate over the appropriate useof such medications: fever is part of the bodys immune response to infection.

Antipyretics are drugs that can reduce a fever. Most of them are also used for other purposes. For example, the most common antipyretics in the United States are aspirin and acetaminophen, which are used primarily as pain relievers.Antipyretics are drugs that reduce body temperature in situations such as fever. However, they will not affect the normal body temperature if one does not have fever.

Uses:

• Effective against fever.
  
• An agent that relieves fever. Cold packs, aspirin and quinine are all antipyretics. Antipyretic drugs dilate the blood vessels near the surface of the skin, thereby allowing more blood to flow through the skin with increased heat loss by radiation and convection. Also, an antipyretic can increase perspiration, the evaporation of which cools the body.

Our Range:

• Diclofenac
• Ibuprofen
• Paracetamol
• V-TRAM

Antirheumatic:
Antirheumatic drugs are drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Antirheumatic agent: agent that relieves or prevents rheumatic disease, especially rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a crippling form of arthritis.

Purpose:

Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive form of arthritis that has devastating effects on joints and general health. It is classified as an auto-immune disease, because the disease is caused by the bodys own immune system acting against the body itself. Symptoms include painful, stiff, swollen joints, fever, fatigue, and loss of appetite.Denoting an agent which suppresses manifestations of rheumatic disease; usually applied to anti-inflammatory agents or agents that are capable of delaying progression of the basic disease process in inflammatory arthritis.

 

Antimicrobial:

A drug used to treat a microbial infection.

An antimicrobial is a substance that kills or inhibits the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Antimicrobial drugs either kill microbes (microbicidal) or prevent the growth of microbes (microbistatic) Antimicrobial is a general term that refers to a group of drugs that includes antibiotics, antifungals, antiprotozoals and antivirals.

Antimicrobial is a term given to any type of chemical compound that can aid in the death or suppress the growth of microorganisms (bacteria, yeast, mycoplasma, etc). Antimicrobial compounds work by damaging the machinery inside of cells that is required to keep them functioning. The actions of antimicrobials do not always kill all the microorganisms found in the environment that they are being used. Some microorganisms can possess DNA or genes that carry the information necessary to destroy, and/or inactivate the action of antimicrobials.

 

Use of Antimicrobials in Food Animals:

In addition to the treatment of sick animals to fight infections, antimicrobials are also used at sub therapeutic levels to prophylactally prevent infections and at sub therapeutic levels as feed additives to promote growth and weight gain by increasing feed utilization.The use of antimicrobial agents has increased dramatically in the past 50 years. Uses for humans include the treatment and prevention of infectious disease, and noninfectious applications, like acne. Antimicrobial agents are used extensively in the agricultural production of food animals for treatment and prevention of disease and the promotion of growth. In addition, bacterial diseases of plants are treated with antimicrobial agents, as are bacterial diseases affecting other food producers like honeybees and fish.  

 

Our Range:

• Leflunomide
• Nitrofurantoin

Anticoagulants Drugs are drugs used to prevent clot formation or to prevent a clot that has formed from enlarging. They inhibit clot formation by blocking the action of clotting factors or platelets. Anticoagulant drugs fall into three categories: inhibitors of clotting factor synthesis, inhibitors of thrombin and antiplatelet drugs.

Purpose:
Anticoagulant drugs reduce the ability of the blood to form clots. Although blood clotting is essential to prevent serious bleeding in the case of skin cuts, clots inside the blood vessels block the flow of blood to major organs and cause heart attacks and strokes. Although these drugs are sometimes called blood thinners, they do not actually thin the blood. Furthermore, this type of medication will not dissolve clots that already have formed, although the drug stops an existing clot from worsening. However, another type of drug, used in thrombolytic therapy, will dissolve existing clots. Anticoagulant drugs are used for a number of conditions.

For example, they may be given to prevent blood clots from forming after the replacement of a heart valve or to reduce the risk of a stroke or another heart attack after a first heart attack. They are also used to reduce the chance of blood clots forming during open heart surgery or bypass surgery. Low doses of these drugs may be given to prevent blood clots in patients who must stay in bed for a long time after certain types of surgery.Because anticoagulants affect the bloods ability to clot, they can increase the risk of severe bleeding and heavy blood loss. It is thus essential to take these drugs exactly as directed and to see a physician regularly as long as they are prescribed.

Description:
Anticoagulant drugs, also called anticlotting drugs or blood thinners, are available only with a physicians prescription. They come in tablet and injectable forms. They fall into three groups:

• Inhibitors of clotting factor synthesis. These anticoagulants inhibit the production of certain clotting factors in the liver. One example is warfarin (brand name: coumadin).
  
  
• Inhibitors of thrombin. Thrombin inhibitors interfere with blood clotting by blocking the activity of thrombin. They include heparin, lepirudin (Refludan).
  
  
• Antiplatelet drugs. Antiplatelet drugs interact with platelets, which is a type of blood cell, to block platelets from aggregating into harmful clots. They include: aspirin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), clopidogrel (Plavix), tirofiban (Aggrastat), and eptifibatide (Integrilin).

Our Range:

• Warfarin

Antidepressants are drugs that treat the symptoms of depression.

Types:

There are three main types of antidepressant:

• selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs),
• tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and related drugs, and
• monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
• 
  

There are also other drugs that do not fall into these categories.Antidepressants work by changing the level of certain chemicals in your brain called neurotransmitters. Normally, these chemicals pass signals from one brain cell to another, but in depression, some of them do not work properly. Antidepressants increase the level of active neurotransmitters.Treatment with antidepressants usually starts with a TCA or SSRI. It takes about 2-3 weeks for the drugs to start working, and 4-6 weeks for them to fully take effect. If you are elderly, it may take longer for antidepressants to start working, and up to eight weeks for them to work fully.

Use:Antidepressants are taken for a range of different conditions, including:

• Moderate to severe depression.
• Severe anxiety and panic attacks.
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
• Chronic (long-term) pain.
• Eating disorders.
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
  

NSAIDS:

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs , are the most prescribed medications for treating conditions such as arthritis. NSAIDs are more than just pain relievers. They also help reduce inflammation and lower fevers. They prevent blood from clotting, which is good in some cases but not so beneficial in others.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, usually abbreviated to NSAIDs or NAIDs , are drugs with analgesic, antipyretic and, in higher doses, anti-inflammatory effects - they reduce pain, fever and inflammation. The term "non-steroidal" is used to distinguish these drugs from steroids, which have a similar eicosanoid-depressing, anti-inflammatory action. As analgesics, NSAIDs are unusual in that they are non-narcotic. NSAIDs are sometimes also referred to as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents/analgesics (NSAIAs) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIMs). The most prominent members of this group of drugs are aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen partly because they are available over-the-counter in many areas.

Uses:

NSAIDs are usually indicated for the treatment of acute or chronic conditions where pain and inflammation are present. Research continues into their potential for prevention of colorectal cancer, and treatment of other conditions, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.NSAIDs are generally indicated for the symptomatic relief of the following conditions:

• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Inflammatory arthropathies (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis,
• Acute gout
• Dysmenorrhoea (menstrual pain)
• Metastatic bone pain
• Headache and migraine
• Postoperative pain
• Mild-to-moderate pain due to inflammation and tissue injury
• Pyrexia (fever)
• Ileus
• Renal colic
• They are also given to neonate infants whose ductus arteriosus is not closed within 24 hours of birth

Aspirin, the only NSAID able to irreversibly inhibit COX-1, is also indicated for inhibition of platelet aggregation.; an indication useful in the management of arterial thrombosis and prevention of adverse cardiovascular events.It shows inhibition of platelet aggregation because it inhibits the action of thromboxane -A.

Our Range:

• Fluoxetine
• Sertraline
• Venlafaxine
• Ibuprofen
• Meloxicam

An antiepileptic drug is medication used to treat epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition where people have epileptic seizures (also known as fits, attacks, turns or convulsions). A seizure happens when there is a sudden disturbance in the way the nerve cells in the brain work. Seizures are usually short, lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes.

Side Effects: Antiepileptic drugs decrease membrane excitability, increase postsynaptic inhibition or alter synchronization of neural networks to decrease excessive neuronal excitability associated with seizure development.

Common Side Effects:
Decreasing neuronal excitability, however, are slowed motor and psychomotor speed, poorer attention and mild memory impairment. Unlike adults, cognitive side effects in children occur against the backdrop of normal cognitive and psychosocial development, and treatment decisions made in childhood may have lifelong implications. Adults who developed epilepsy during their childhood tend to have less education, decreased rates of employment and employment at lower job levels, lower rates of marriage, poorer physical health, and increased incidence of psychiatric disorders.


Antidiabetic:

Anti-diabetic drugs treat diabetes mellitus by lowering glucose levels in the blood.


With the exceptions of insulin, exenatide and pramlintide, all are administered orally and are thus also called oral hypoglycemic agents or oral antihyperglycemic agents. There are different classes of anti-diabetic drugs, and their selection depends on the nature of the diabetes, age and situation of the person, as well as other factors.

Anti-Anginal:
An antianginal is any drug used in the treatment of angina pectoris, a symptom of ischaemic heart disease.Angina pectoris is chest pain triggered by exertion. Angina pectoris occurs when the heart needs more oxygenated blood to adequately increase the heart rate. Several drugs may be prescribed to prevent the pain of angina. Angina pectoris is usually the first clinical sign of underlying myocardial ischemia, which results from an imbalance between oxygen supply and oxygen demand in the heart.

This report describes the pharmacology of β-adrenoceptor antagonists as it relates to the treatment of angina. The β-adrenoceptor antagonists are widely used in long-term maintenance therapy to prevent acute ischemic episodes in patients with chronic stable angina. Beta-adrenoceptor antagonists competitively inhibit the binding of endogenous catecholamines to β1-adrenoceptors in the heart.

Purpose:
Systemic Anti-Fungal Drugs are used to treat infections in various parts of the body that are caused by a fungus. A fungus is a one-celled form of life. Unlike a plant, which makes its own food, or an animal, which eats plants or other animals, a fungus survives by invading and living off other living things. Fungi thrive in moist, dark places, including some parts of the body.

• Antiplatelet:

Platelets are blood cells that are help the blood clot (stick together) and prevent bleeding. When the body has a cut, scratch, bruise or bleed, platelets go into action and begin to work.An antiplatelet drug is a member of a class of pharmaceuticals that decreases platelet aggregation and inhibits thrombus formation. They are effective in the arterial circulation, where anticoagulants have little effect.OR Antiplatelets help prevent dangerous blood clots from forming. 

• Antiviral:

An agent that kills a virus or that suppresses its ability to replicate and, hence, inhibits its capability to multiply and reproduce. Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used specifically for treating viral infections. Like antibiotics for bacteria, specific antivirals are used for specific viruses. Antiviral drugs are one class of antimicrobials, a larger group which also includes antibiotic, antifungal and antiparasitic drugs. They are relatively harmless to the host, and therefore can be used to treat infections. They should be distinguished from viricides, which actively deactivate virus particles outside the body.

• BRONCHODILATOR:

Bronchodilator drugs are drugs help to relieve breathing difficulties caused by asthma, bronchitis and bronchiolitis.Bronchodilators are medications commonly used by people with asthma.

They relax the muscles that surround the airways and allow the airways (the tubes that carry air into and out of the lungs) to open up. Some bronchodilators act quickly to stop asthma symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath) that are often caused by narrowed airways. Known as rescue, quick-relief, or fast-acting medications.Other bronchodilators, known as controller medications, are longer acting and are used to control, or prevent, asthma symptoms.Breathing difficulties include shortness of breath, coughing, rattling and wheezing, normally as a result of the narrowing of the bronchiole tubes.

The tubes contract and the lining swells, narrowing the space for air to pass through. Tightness of the muscle surrounding the bronchioles, or a build up of excess mucus because of inflammation or infection is usually to blame. Broncholdilators cause the bronchioles to relax and widen; which makes breathing easier.

Theophylline:

Available in oral and injectable form, theophylline is a long-acting bronchodilator that prevents asthma episodes. It belongs to the chemical class methyl xanthines . It is prescribed in severe cases of asthma.

 

• DIURETICS:

 

A diuretic is any drug that elevates the rate of urination (diuresis). There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from the body, although each class of diuretic does so in a distinct way.

Mechanism of Action:

Classification of common diuretics and their mechanisms of action:Chemically, diuretics are a diverse group of compounds that either stimulate or inhibit various hormones that naturally occur in the body to regulate urine production by the kidneys. Herbal medications are not inherently diuretics. They are more correctly called aquaretics.
