Brief Product Information on NAAZCOLD SUSPENSION

COMPOSITION:
Chlorpheniramine maleate 2 mg, paracetamol 250 mg, and phenylephrine 5 mg in each ml

DESCRIPTION:
Naazcold suspension is commonly prescribed in children to treat symptoms such as runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat, body aches, and fever. These symptoms are usually associated with common cold, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), and other respiratory tract conditions. Naazcold suspension is a combination of 3 medicines, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine, which relieve common cold symptoms. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antiallergic that blocks histamine (a chemical messenger) to relieve allergic symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-piratic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stiffness in the nose.

Give Naazcold suspension to your child orally, with or without food. If your child develops an upset stomach, prefer giving it to them with food. Always remember that the dosing schedule provided by your child’s doctor depends on the type of symptoms your child has, so make sure to follow the prescribed dose, time, and duration strictly. Give Naazcold Suspension at a fixed time each day so that it gradually makes its place in your child’s daily routine, which will help you to remember. If your child vomits within 30 mins of taking, this medicine can be repeated again. However, never repeat the dose if it is already time for the next dose. Your child may start to feel better within a week of regular dosing. However, you must continue giving the medicine to your child to finish the complete prescribed course, as stopping it abruptly may worsen your child’s condition.

Some of the minor and temporary side effects that your child may experience while taking this medicine include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth and nose, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, fatigue, restlessness, insomnia, rapid heart rate, and rash. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. In case these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Brief Product Information on ASPIPAN-DSR

COMPOSITON:

Each Aspipan-DSR capsule contains a combination of pantoprazole and 30 mg of domperidone.

DESCRIPTION:

Aspipan-DSR is a brand for the anti-ulcerant and anti-emetic combination that effectively treats various complications that are associated with acid reflex and ulcers. Pantoprazole is an efficient proton pump inhibitor that belongs to the substituted benzimidazole class. Like other proton pump inhibitors, pantoprazole blocks the HK ATPase enzyme system or the proton pump system present on the gastric parietal cells. Proton pump inhibitors are activated in the acidic environment only. This drug prevents the final step of gastric acid production, i.e., the inward movement of hydrogen ions into the gastric lumen, and eventually reduces the levels of gastric acid and its reflux towards the chest region. Domperidone is a potent anti-emetic agent that addresses nausea and vomiting along with the suppression of acid reflux. On the peripheral levels, it increases the lower esophageal pressures and improves the motility in the upper GI tract, or peristalsis. It acts as an antagonist of D2 and D3 dopamine receptors in the area postrema, where lies the chemoreceptor trigger zone for nausea and vomiting.

INDICATIONS:

  • Gastric and Peptic ulcers
  • Gastroesophageal reflux diseases
  • Dyspepsia
  • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
  • Nausea and vomiting

DOSES:

1 capsule in a day early in the morning or on an empty stomach or as indicated by the physician

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

Aspipan-DSR is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity towards pantoprazole and domperidone. This medicine is also contraindicated in patients with hepatic and renal impairment, interstitial nephritis, and congestive heart failure.

Brief Product Information on CEFIGEN-O

COMPOSITON:

Each CEFIGEN-O tablet contains 200 mg of Cefixime Trihydrate IP (equivalent to N-hydroxy cefixime) and 200 mg of Ofloxacin IC.

DESCRIPTION:

Cefigen-O is a brand name for the antibiotic combination of Cefixime, the 3rd generation cephalosporin antibiotic, and Ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Cefigen-O exhibits broad-spectrum activity, with a longer half life and higher penetrability. This combination treats major bacterial infections such as ear, nose, and throat infections, upper respiratory tract infections, and genitourinary tract infections.

Cefixime is one of the very few antibiotics that are stable against cephalosporinase and beta-lactamase activity. Cefixime is a beta-lactam antibiotic that works by inhibiting the cell wall synthesis in the bacterial cells. This drug binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which control the transactivation step of peptidoglycan synthesis. This binding between the PBPs and the beta-lactam ring of cefixime prevents the cell wall synthesis, eventually leading to the bacterial cell death.

Oflaxime is a synthetic antibiotic that belongs to the class of 2nd-generation fluoroquinolones. It acts on the DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes that are associated with the DNA replication in the bacteria. By binding to these enzymes, Ofloxacin hampers the unbinding and supercoiling properties of these enzymes and eventually arrests the cell growth in bacteria.

INDICATIONS:

  • Bronchitis
  • Disseminated gonococcal infection
  • Pelvic inflammatory diseases
  • Propagatis
  • Community-acquired Pneumonia
  • Gonorrhea

Brief Product Information on ASPIVIT 369 Capsule

OMEGA 3 + OMEGA 6 + OMEGA 9 FATTY ACIDS CAPSULE

Omega Fatty Acids

Omega fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are subdivided into omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids. These fatty acids are important for health and play different functions in metabolism, protection against diseases, and recovery after illness.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

α-Linolenic Acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) are examples of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s come primarily from fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and tuna, as well as from walnuts and flaxseed in lesser amounts.

EPA + DHA

The important Omega-3 fatty acids—EPA and DHA—play an important role in disease prevention, control, and proper health. They help reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, improve HDL cholesterol and insulin sensitivity, and are beneficial in obesity, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and stroke.

Their anti-inflammatory and protective actions make them useful in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint disorders, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, inflammatory skin conditions, ophthalmic disorders such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, cancer, psoriasis, and dysmenorrhea.

The brain contains the highest concentration of DHA, making it an essential component of nerve cell membranes. DHA plays an important role in neuropsychiatric disorders, depression, schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.

EPA and DHA also provide additional benefits during pregnancy for both the mother and the child.

Omega-6 Fatty Acids

Omega-6 fatty acids mainly come as linoleic acid from plant oils such as corn oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil, as well as from nuts and seeds. The American Heart Association recommends that at least 5% to 10% of daily calories come from omega-6 fatty acids.

They are converted into inflammatory agents such as arachidonic acid, prostaglandin E2, and inflammatory eicosanoids (thromboxanes, prostacyclins, and leukotrienes), which contribute to pain sensation while also promoting healing and immune responses in traumatized and infected tissues. Therefore, they are essential for normal body protection.

Omega-9 Fatty Acids

Omega-9 fatty acids are monounsaturated, non-essential fatty acids such as oleic acid and stearic acid. These fatty acids help prevent heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels, reducing hardening of the arteries, and improving immune function.

Need for Balanced Supplementation

Modern lifestyle and dietary habits have resulted in a significant imbalance in fatty acid composition, leading to an increased incidence of cardiovascular disorders; inflammatory conditions; reduced immunity; impaired hormonal function, including insulin resistance; chronic infections; and cancer.

Although fish oils are good natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids, supplementation during certain health conditions may not be recommended due to concerns about contaminants and heavy metal exposure.

A better alternative is to consume balanced quantities of omega fatty acids through dietary supplements.

Importance of Balanced Omega Fatty Acid Consumption

Omega-3 and omega-6 are both eighteen-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids and compete for the same metabolic enzymes. Their ratio significantly influences the type of eicosanoids produced, thereby affecting the body’s metabolic functions.

  • Metabolites of Omega-6 are generally more inflammatory.
  • Metabolites of omega-3 are generally anti-inflammatory.

For optimal health, omega-6 and omega-3 should be consumed in a balanced ratio, ideally ranging from 1:1 to 4:1.

In addition, when Omega-9 fatty acids are deficient, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are enzymatically converted into Omega-9, reducing their availability for their primary physiological functions.

Dosage

1 – 2 Capsules Daily

Indications

  • Hypertension and cardiovascular diseases
  • Diabetes
  • Inflammatory skin, bone, joint, and eye disorders
  • Neuropsychiatric diseases
  • Old age and Alzheimer’s disease
