| This article focuses upon a few effective medications.
Atripla
Scientists have introduced a few ways to put off the clinical course of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) which is the last stage of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). This medicine is called Atripla. It is the first medicine that contains three anti-retroviral medications that may preclude HIV-infection progression and put off its development to AIDS. The medication works by inhibiting the HIV growth.
The drug is taken once a day on an empty stomach at bedtime to reduce the oppression of the body. A recommended dosage for adults is one tablet a day.
Atripla may interact with other drugs. These drug interactions may alter the concentration of the medicine in blood, and may cause overdose or reduce the effectiveness.
Usual Atripla side effects include tiredness, giddiness, cough, muscles pain, itching, at times delusion and sleeplessness.
Chantix
More and more people all over the world start smoking today. Millions of smokers try to stop the habit, but cannot do it on their own. Pfizer has invented an efficient medication that helps stop smoking in 33% of people.
The medication works by linking with neural nicotinic brain receptors. Chantix precludes full activation of receptors under the nicotine impact. These receptors are responsible for enjoying smoking with the subsequent addiction formation. Chantix affects the receptors, thereby, making a smoker reluctant to smoke cigarettes. Thus, a person gets rid of smoking addiction.
Chantix is taken orally. A recommended Chantix dosage is 1 mg two times a day. Chantix pills should be taken whole with water during 12 weeks.
Common side effects are depression, sleeplessness, irritability, difficulty in concentration, gain of body weight.
Contramal
Contramal is a narcotic painkiller. Yet, the drug is not such a strong analgesic as other medicines, for example morphine. Contramal lead to fewer side effects. Commonly, Contramal is characterized by economical impact on the human body.
Contramal is usually administered to kill pain resulting from traumas, before and after surgery, and also in oncological patients.
Contramal is known for a fast and long-lasting effect. The maximum concentration in blood is observed in 5-10 minutes after injection. When the medicine is administered orally, the maximal concentration is observed in 30-40 minutes.
Yet, Contramal should not be administered with ethanol. Patients should take additional care during treatment while being involved in activities which need maximum concentration. Providing that the medicine is taken correctly, any side effects are not observed. |
