Description

• Domperidone is given in order to relieve nausea and vomiting; to increase the transit of food through the stomach (as a pro kinetic agent through increase in gastrointestinal peristalsis).
• Domperidone is used to increase lactation (breast milk production) by release of pro lactin.
• It is also used in the scientific study of the way dopamine (an important neurotransmitter) acts in the body.
• Domperidone is a peripheral dopamine (D2) and (D3) receptor antagonist to provide relief from nausea by blocking receptors at the chemo-receptor trigger zone at the floor of the fourth ventricle.
• It increases motility in the upper gastrointestinal tract to a moderate degree and increases[2] lower esophageal sphincter pressure by blocking dopamine receptors in the gastric antrum and the duodenum. It blocks dopamine receptors in the posterior pituitary gland increasing release of pro lactin which in turn increases lactation.

Description

• Folate and folic acid are forms of a water-soluble B vitamin. Folate occurs naturally in food, and folic acid is the synthetic form of this vitamin. Folic acid is used for preventing and treating low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency), as well as its complications, including “tired blood” (anemia) and the inability of the bowel to absorb nutrients properly. Folic acid is also used for other conditions commonly associated with folate deficiency, including ulcerative colitis, liver disease, alcoholism, and kidney dialysis.
• Women who are pregnant or might become pregnant take folic acid to prevent miscarriage and “neural tube defects,” birth defects such as spina bifida that occur when the fetus’s spine and back do not close during development.
• Some people use folic acid to prevent coloncancer or cervical cancer. It is also used to prevent heart disease and stroke, as well as to reduce blood levels of a chemical called homocysteine. High homocysteine levels might be a risk for heart disease.
• Folic acid is used for memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, age-related hearing loss, preventing the eye disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD), reducing signs of aging, weak bones (osteoporosis), jumpy legs (restless leg syndrome), sleep problems, depression, nerve pain, muscle pain, AIDS, a skin disease called vitiligo, and an inherited disease called Fragile-X syndrome. It is also used for reducing harmful side effects of treatment with the medications lometrexol and methotrexate.
• Some people apply folic acid directly to the gum for treating gum infections.Folic acid is often used in combination with other B vitamins.

Description

• Meclizine is an antihistamine considered to be an antiemetic.
• Meclizine is an antagonist at H1 receptors. It possesses anti cholinergic, central nervous system depressant, and local anesthetic effects.
• The drug depresses labyrinth excitability and vestibular stimulation.

Description

• Furosemide is a loop diuretic used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and edema.
• Furosemide is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension and edema.
• It is the first-line agent in most people with edema caused by congestive heart failure.
• It is also used for hepatic cirrhosis, renal impairment, nephrotic syndrome, in adjunct therapy for cerebral/pulmonary edema and in the management of severe hypercalcemia in combination with adequate rehydration.

Description

• Glipizide acts by partially blocking potassium channels among beta cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans. By blocking potassium channels, the cell depolarizes which results in the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels. The resulting calcium influx encourages insulin release from beta cells.

Description

• Glibenclamide is an anti diabetic drug in a class of medications known as sulfonyl urea.
• Glibenclamide is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. As of 2011 it is one of only two oral anti-diabetics in the World Health Organization Model List of Essential Medicines.
• It was the most popular sulfonylurea in the United States of America.
