ACEBUTOLOL

 ACEBUTOLOL


BRAND NAME:- SECTRAL 200,400mg tab, 10mg/2ml amp.


ACEBUTOLOL is an other beta blocker, Cardioselectivity agent with significant partial and membrane stabilizing properties . Effect on resting heart rate is less.


CARDIOSELECTIVITY:-

These drug are more potent in blocking cardiac Beta1 than bronchial Beta2 receptors. Selectivity is only relative and is lost at high doses. 

Their features are:-

1. Lower propensity to cause bronchoconstriction,but even these drug should usually be avoided in asthmatic and COPD patients.

2. Less Interference with carbohydrates metabolism and less inhibition of glycogenolysis during hypoglycemia --safer in diabetics.

3. Lower incidence of cold hand and feet ,less chances of precipitation Raynaud's phenomenon.

4.No/less deleterious effects on blood lipid profile.

5. Ineffective in suppression essential tremor.

6. Less liable to impair exercise capacity.


PARTIAL AGONISTIC (INTRINSIC SYMPATHOMIMETICS) ACTION:-

The drug themselves activate Beta1 or Beta2 receptors submaximally . The benefits of this property are controversial.

1. Bradycardia and depression of contractility at rest are not prominent,but exercise tachycardia is blocked; may be preferred in those prone to severe bradycardia (elderly patients;Sick sinus) or with low cardiac reserve.

2. Withdrawal is less likely to exacerbaina  hypertension or angina ; continued agonistic action on beta receptors (of the drug itself) prevent development of supersensitivity .

3. Plasma lipid profile is not/ less worsened.

4. Not effective in migraine prophylaxis —they dilate cerebral vessels.

5. Not suitable for secondary prophylaxis of MI.


MEMBRANE STABILIZING ACTIVITY:-

In ACEBUTOLOL this activity is claimed to contribute to the antiarrhythmic action,but appears to be significant only at high doses.


DOSE:- A single daily dose is sufficient in many patients.

Intravenous dose for arrhythmias 20-40mg.


SIDE EFFECTS:- of ACEBUTOLOL is milder. 


USED:-used in the treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure), Angina (heart-related chest pain), Arrhythmia and heart attack.

Cefpodoxime proxetil Uses, Side Effects, and More

 Cefpodoxime proxetil Brand name:- cefoprox ,cepodem,DOXCEF 100,200mg cap.  Cefpodoxime Proxetil is an antibiotic. It kills the bacteria by preventing them from forming the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is needed for them to survive. Pharmacodynamic:-  Cefpodoxime is shown to be effective against most Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, except Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus, and Bacteroides fragilis. Mechanism of action:-  Cefpodoxime is active against a wide spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Cefpodoxime is stable in the presence of beta-lactamase enzymes. As a result, many organisms resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins, due to their production of beta-lactamase, may be susceptible to cefpodoxime. Cefpodoxime is inactivated by certain extended spectrum beta-lactamases. The bactericidal activity of cefpodoxime results from its inhibition of cell wall synthesis. The active metabolite of cefpodoxime binds preferentially to penicilli

Cephalexin ( ZYD ) ( Cefalexin ) Uses, Side Effects, and More

 Cephalexin (ZYD) (Cefalexin) Brand name:-  Cephacillin 250,500mg cap; Sporidex, Alcephin,Cephaxin cap. Cephalexin (also called Cefalexin)  is the most common used orally effective first generation cephalosporin , similar in spectrum to cefazolin , but less active against penicillinase producing staphylococci and H. Influenza. Plasma protein binding is low; it attains High concentration in bile and is excreted unchanged in urine; t½ - 60min. Pharmacodynamic:-  Cephalexin (also called Cefalexin) is a first generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is one of the most widely prescribed antibiotics, often used for the treatment of superficial infections that result as complications of minor wounds or lacerations.Label It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria through its inihibition of the cross linking reaction between N-acetyl muramicacid and N-acetylglucosamine in the cell wall, leading to cell lysis. Pharmacokinetics:- Cephalexin is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from t

BASILIXIMAB Uses, Side Effects, and More

 BASILIXIMAB BRAND NAME:- Simulect   BASILIXIMAB is another anti CD - 25 antibody with higher affinity for the IL-2 receptor, but shorter plasma t½ (1 week) . is a monoclonal antibody used to prevent rejection in kidney transplants. It is a chimeric mouse-human monoclonal antibody to the α chain (CD25) of the IL-2 receptor of T cells. It is used in combination with other medicines used to prevent organ rejection. PHARMACODYNAMIC:- Basiliximab functions as an IL-2 receptor antagonist. Specifically it inhibits IL-2-mediated activation of lymphocytes, a critical pathway in the cellular immune response involved in allograft rejection.  MECHANISM OF ACTION:-  Basiliximab competes with IL-2 to bind to the alpha chain subunit of the IL2 receptor on the surface of the activated T lymphocytes and thus prevents the receptor from signaling. This prevents T cells from replicating and also from activating B cells, which are responsible for the production of antibodies, which would bind to the trans
