ACECLOFENAC

 ACECLOFENAC


BRAND NAME:- ACECLO,DOLOKIND 100mg tab ,200mg SR tab.


Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID).

ACECLOFENAC is  a moderately COX-2 selective congener of diclofenac having similar properties. It is an analgesic antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drug, enhancement of glycosaminoglycan synthesis may confer chondroprotective property to ACECLOFENAC.

 It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). 

MECHANISM & PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION:-

 IT inhibits PG synthesis and is some what COX-2 selective . The antiplatelet action is not appreciable due to sparing of COX-1 . It also does not block the cardioprotective effect of low dose aspirin. Neutrophil chemotaxis and superoxide production at the inflammatory site are reduced.

It well absorbed orally,99% protein bound , metabolized and excreted both in urine and bile. The plasma t½ is ~ 2 hours . However it had good tissue penetrability and concentration in synovial fluid is maintained for 3 times longer period than in plasma,exerting extended therapeutic action in joints.



USE:- as a analgesic antipyretic, anti-inflammatory action .

Aceclofenac is used for pain relief. It relieves pain and inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis. 


SIDE EFFECTS:- Vomiting, Stomach pain/epigastric pain, Nausea, Indigestion, Diarrhea, Heartburn, Loss of appetite .


DOSE:- 100mg BD

Chlorthalidone Uses, Side Effects, and More....

 Chlorthalidone  Brand name:- Hythalton 50,100mg , Hydrazide, Thalizide ( 12.5, 25) . Chlorthalidone is a diuretic which lowers blood pressure by removing extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Pharmacodynamic:- Not 🚫 available.  Pharmacokinetics:- Chlortalidone is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral ingestion. It has a long half-life and therefore a prolonged diuretic action, which results in continued diuretic effects despite a skipped dose. This prolonged action of chlortalidone despite missing doses may account for the higher efficacy of chlortalidone compared to the shorter half-life medication, hydrochlorothiazide. Chlortalidone is eliminated from the body mostly by the kidney, as unchanged drug. Thus, in persons with diminished kidney function, the clearance of chlortalidone is reduced and the elimination half-life is increased. As with other thiazide diuretics, ch...

Captopril Uses, Side Effects, and More

 Captopril Brand name:- Angiopril 25mg tab, Aceten, Captopril 12.5, 25mg tab. Captopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It works by reducing stress on the heart and relaxing blood vessel so that blood flows more smoothly and the heart can pump blood more efficiently. Pharmacodynamic:-  Captopril, an ACE inhibitor, antagonizes the effect of the RAAS. The RAAS is a homeostatic mechanism for regulating hemodynamics, water and electrolyte balance. During sympathetic stimulation or when renal blood pressure or blood flow is reduced, renin is released from the granular cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus in the kidneys. In the blood stream, renin cleaves circulating angiotensinogen to ATI, which is subsequently cleaved to ATII by ACE. ATII increases blood pressure using a number of mechanisms. First, it stimulates the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone travels to the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting tubule of nephrons w...
