ACETOMENAPHTHONE (VITAMIN K3)FAT SOLUBLE

 ACETOMENAPHTHONE (VITAMIN K3) FAT SOLUBLE


BRAND NAME:-ACETOMENADIONE 5,10mg tab; KAPILIN 10mg tab.


ACETOMENAPHTHONE is a fat soluble dietary principal for the synthesis of clotting factors, which promote coagulation and are indicated in haemorrhagic states.



CHEMISTRY AND SOURCE:- Vit K has a basic naphthoquinone structure, with or without a side chain (R) at position 3. The side chain in K1 is phytyl ,in K2 prenyl , while in K3 there is no side chain.


ACTION:- VITAMIN K3 acts as a cofactor at a late stage in the synthesis by liver of coagulation protein — prothrombin, factors VII,IX and X. The vit K dependent change (y carboxylation of glutamate residues of these zymogen proteins; confers on them the capacity to bind Ca2+ and to get bound to phospholipids surface — properties essential for participation in the coagulation cascade.



UTILISATION:- Fat- soluble froms of vit K are absorbed from the intestine via lymph and require bile salts for absorption, while water soluble froms are absorbed directly into portal blood. An active transport process in the jejunum has been demonstrated for K3 are absorbed by simple diffusion. Vit K is only temporarily concentrated in liver,but there are no significant Store in the body. It is metabolized in liver by side chain cleavage and glucuronide conjunction; metabolites are excerted in bile and urine. 


USE:- Prophylaxis and treatment of Bleeding due to deficiency of clotting factors. Dietary deficiency, prolonged Antimicrobial therapy, obstructive jaundice or malabsorption syndrome, liver disease etc.


ADVERSE EFFECTS:- 

allergic reaction,skin rashes,g.i.t

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...

Chlordiazepoxide Uses, Side Effects, and More

 Chlordiazepoxide Brand name:- Librium 10, 25 mg tabs; Equilibrium 10mg tab. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger (GABA) which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. Pharmacodynamic:-  Chlordiazepoxide has antianxiety, sedative, appetite-stimulating and weak analgesic actions. The drug seems to block EEG arousal from stimulation in the brain stem reticular formation. The drug has been studied extensively in many species of animals and these studies are suggestive of action on the limbic system of the brain, which recent evidence indicates is involved in emotional responses. Hostile monkeys were made tame by oral drug doses which did not cause sedation. Chlordiazepoxide revealed a "taming" action with the elimination of fear and aggression. The taming effect of chlordiazepoxide was further demonstrated in rats made vicious by lesions in the septal area of the brain. The drug dos...
