Exforge combines two antihypertensive compounds with complementary mechanisms to control blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension: amlodipine belongs to the calcium antagonist class and valsartan to the angiotensin II antagonist class of medicines. The combination of these substances has an additive antihypertensive effect, reducing blood pressure to a greater degree than either component alone.
Amlodipine/Valsartan
The combination of amlodipine and valsartan produces dose-related additive reduction in blood pressure across its therapeutic dose range. The antihypertensive effect of a single dose of the combination persisted for 24 hours.
Each film-coated tablet contains 10 mg of amlodipine (as amlodipine besylate) and 160 mg of valsartan.
Ozempic (Semaglutide) is a treatment widely used to treat Type-2 diabetes but is also effective as a weight loss treatment. It helps users by making them feel a reduction in appetite by binding to GLP-1 receptors in the body. Alongside a balanced diet and an exercise regime, it can help patients lose up to 3x […]
Ozempic contains the active substance semaglutide. It helps your body reduce your blood sugar level only when blood sugar is too high and can help prevent heart disease.
Ozempic is used:
• on its own – if your blood sugar is not controlled well enough by diet and exercise alone, and you cannot use metformin (another diabetes medicine) or
• with other medicines for diabetes – when they are not enough to control your blood sugar levels.
Parlodel tablets contain the active ingredient bromocriptine, which belongs to a group of medicines
called dopamine agonists and prolactin inhibitors.
Parlodel tablets are used for:
Treatment of prolactinomas (a non-cancerous tumour of the pituitary gland in the brain).
Co-treatment of acromegaly with surgery or radiotherapy. Acromegaly is abnormal growth
caused by high levels of growth hormone.
Treatment of hyperprolactinaemia (abnormally high level of prolactin in the blood) in men
with hypogonadism (a low sperm count, lack of sex drive and inability to achieve an erection)
and/or galactorrhoea (unexplained milk secretion).
Treatment of hyperprolactinaemia (abnormally high level of prolactin in the blood) in women
with hypogonadism (infrequent periods, hot flushes, vaginal dryness), irregular periods,
infertility and/or galactorrhoea (unexplained milk secretion).
To prevent lactation (milk production) for medical reasons.
Stopping breast milk production for medical reasons only, and when you and your doctor have
decided that it is necessary. Bromocriptine should not be routinely used to stop breast milk
production. It should also not be used to relieve symptoms of painful breast engorgement after
giving birth if these can be adequately treated with non-medical means (such as firm breast
support, ice application) and or a painkiller.
DUODART is used to in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
BPH is a non-cancerousenlargement of the prostate gland which is located in the lowerportion of the urinary bladder surrounding the urethra (urine carrying tube).In menwith BPH, the prostate gland becomes large enough to squeeze the urine tube runningthrough it. If this tube is squeezed it narrows, making it more difficult to pass urine.
