Antibiotic Uses and Details information:-

1.Penicillin:- Tablet 1:-Penvick DS 500mg AS A Phenoxymethyl Penicillin (Penicillin V). (Benzylpenicillin & Phenoxymethyl penicillin)

Indications Of Tablet Penvick Ds 500mg(AS A Phenoxymethyl Penicillin (Penicillin V). (Benzylpenicillin & Phenoxymethyl penicillin):-

For the treatment of mild to moderately severe bacterial infections, if these are due to penicillin susceptible pathogens and respond to therapy with oral penicillin, such as:

  • infections of the ear, nose and throat regions, e.g., tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, otitis media, sinusitis.
  • infections of the lower respiratory tract, e.g., bronchitis and pneumonia, bronchopneumonia.
  • infections due to beta-hemolytic streptococci of group A, e.g., scarlet fever, erysipelas, rheumatic fever.
  • skin infections, e.g., pyodermia, furunculosis, phlegmon, erysipeloid, erythema migrans, insofar as the micro-organisms are penicillin-susceptible.
  • lymphadenitis and lymphangitis of bacterial origin.
  • infections of the buccal cavity, gums or jaws, e.g., inflammatory infiltrates, delayed dentition stages II and III, antral fistulae, secondary bacterial infection with Gram-positive pathogens following virus-induced gingivitis or stomatitis.

For prophylaxis of scarlet fever; also to prevent recurrences of rheumatic fever. For prophylaxis of infection after dental and oral surgical procedures or dental extractions in certain high risk patients (e.g. with congenital cardiac defects, artificial heart valves, rheumatic endocarditis). In some cases, combination with another appropriate antibiotic may be indicated.

Side Effects Of Tablet Penvick Ds 500mg(AS A Phenoxymethyl Penicillin (Penicillin V). (Benzylpenicillin & Phenoxymethyl penicillin):-

Occasionally, hypersensitivity reactions involving the skin (e.g. urticaria, morbilliform or scarlatiniform rashes, pruritus),c eosinophilia or more serious allergic reactions, e.g. drug fever, vasculitis, serum sickness or interstitial nephritis, may develop. Anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions accompanied by, e.g- angioneurotic oedema, oedema of the larynx, bronchial spasm and shock may occur.

In the event of signs pointing to anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions, the treatment must be terminated immediately. In occasional instances, there may be skin rashes or inflammation of mucous membranes, especially in the region of the mouth (stomatitis); dryness of the mouth and disorders of taste may rarely occur.

The occurrence of severe bullous skin reactions- usually involving the mucosae- has been reported in isolated cases (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Lyell’s syndrome). Gastrointestinal disturbances with, e.g., nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loose stools, or diarrhoea may develop.

Diarrhoea may sometimes be a symptom of enterocolitis which may, in some cases, be haemorrhagic. A particular form of enterocolitis that can occur with antibiotics is pseudomembranous colitis (in most cases due to Clostridium diffcile). This must be considered in patients in whom severe, persistent diarrhoea occurs during treatment or in the initial weeks thereafter. Even if pseudomembranous colitis is only suspected, administration of Penvik DS must be halted immediately. This type of colitis requires immediate and appropriate treatment by a physician. Drugs that inhibit intestinal peristalsis must not be taken in such cases. In isolated cases, particularly after high doses and prolonged administration, changes in blood picture such as reduction in the number of white blood cells (e.g.,leucopenia, granulocytopenia, agranulocytosis), erythrocytes (e.g., due to haemolytic anaemia), thrombocytes, or pancytopenia and myelosuppression may occur. During treatment for spirochaetal infections, Herxheimer’s reaction characterized by the occurrence or worsening of general symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, and joint pains may develop. In isolated cases, drug-induced aseptic meningitis may occur.

In extremely rare cases, transient discolouration of the teeth may be seen during treatment with Penvik DS. Administration of antibiotics, especially if prolonged, may lead to the proliferation of resistant micro organisms.

Beta-lactams predispose the patient to encephalopathy risk (which may include convulsions, confusion, impairment of consciousness, movement disorders), particularly in case of overdose or renal impairment.

Pharmacology:-

Phenoxymethyl penicillin or penicillin V is acid-stable and is absorbed from the upper part of the small intestine. Of different forms of Phenoxymethyl penicillin, the potassium salt of Phenoxymethyl penicillin is best absorbed. This may be given with meals but maximum absorption is achieved when drug is administered orally at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after the meal. Phenoxymethyl penicillin offers a very convenient means of treating Grampositive infections. Phenoxymethyl penicillin has the distinct advantage over penicillin G in resistance to inactivation by gastric acid.

Other component or Preparation of Penicillin:-

1.Injection:Benzapen 12lac units/vial (AS A Benzathine Penicillin Long acting penicillin) Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs); which in turn inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls, thus inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis

Indications Of .Injection:Benzapen 12lac units/vial (AS A Benzathine Penicillin Long acting penicillin):-

Benzapen is indicated in-

  • The treatment of penicillin-sensitive infections where initial high blood levels are not required.
  • The prophylaxis of penicillin-sensitive secondary infections especially in children. It is particularly valuable in continuous prophylaxis against rheumatic fever and streptococcal infections.
  • Prophylaxis of streptococcal impetigo
  • Treatment of acute otitis media
  • Treatment of syphilis
  • Treatment of diphtheria carriers
  • Side Effects Of Injection:Benzapen 12lac units/vial (AS A Benzathine Penicillin Long acting penicillin):-
  • The toxicity of penicillins is generally low, but in a small number of patients penicillin can cause sensitization and allergic reactions. Acute, lifethreatening anaphylactic reactions are rare, but they do occur.

    Intramuscular injection of Benzapen can cause moderate burning discomfort, local pain, and deep muscle soreness and tenderness at the site of injection, lasting for one to three days in about 10% of patients. Some patients had low-grade fever (102˚F) associated with local pain and tenderness. This febrile reaction disappeared within 24 to 48 hours.
Pharmacology:-

Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs); which in turn inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls, thus inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis. Bacteria eventually lyse due to ongoing activity of cell wall autolytic enzymes (autolysins and murein hydrolases) while cell wall assembly is arrested.

Side effects are mild and transient in nature. This may include diarrhoea, indigestion or occasionally rash. Pseudo-membranous colitis has been reported rarely.

Pharmacology:-

Amoxicillin is a broad spectrum penicillin. It is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It acts through the inhibition of biosynthesis of cell wall. Amoxicillin is stable in the presence of gastric acid and is rapidly absorbed after oral administration. After an oral dose, peak plasma concentration of Amoxicillin is reached within 1 to 2 hours. Amoxicillin is widely distributed at varying concentration in body tissues and fluids.

Other component or preparation of Amoxicillin:

3.Tablet:-Moxin 875 mg (AS A Amoxicillin Trihydrate AS A Broad spectrum penicillins).

 

Other Component Amoxicillin:-Tablet 1.Moxaclav (500mg+125mg) AS A (Amoxicillin +Clavulanic Acid) AS A Broad spectrum penicillins. Amoxicillin has a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against many Gram-positive & Gram-negative microorganisms.

Indications Of Tablet 1.Moxaclav (500mg+125mg) AS A (Amoxicillin +Clavulanic Acid) AS A Broad spectrum penicillins.

Co-amoxiclav is indicated for short-term treatment of bacterial infections at the following sites:

  • Upper respiratory tract infections (including ENT) e.g.tonsillitis,sinusitis,otitis media.
  • Lower respiratory tract infections e.g.acute and chronic bronchitis, lobar and bronchopneumonia.
  • Genito-urinary tract infections e.g.cystitis,urethritis,pyelonephritis.
  • Skin and soft tissue infections.
  • Bone and joint infections e.g.osteomyelitis.
  • Other infections e.g.septic abortion,puerperal sepsis,intra-abdominal sepsis etc.

Side Effects of Tablet 1.Moxaclav (500mg+125mg) AS A (Amoxicillin +Clavulanic Acid) AS A Broad spectrum penicillins.

Side effects, as with Amoxicillin, are uncommon and mainly of a mild and transitory nature. Diarrhoea, pseudomembranous colitis, indigestion, nausea, vomiting and candidiasis have been reported, if gastrointestinal side effects occur with oral therapy, that may be reduced by taking Co-amoxiclav at the start of meals. Hepatitis and cholestatic jaundice have been reported rarely but are usually reversible. Urticarial and erythematous rashes sometimes occur. Rarely erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and exfoliative dermatitis have been reported. In common with other beta-lactam antibiotics, angioedema and anaphylaxis have been reported.

Pharmacology:-

Pharmacodynamic properties: Co-amoxiclav is an antibacterial combination consisting of the antibiotic Amoxicillin and the (3-lactamase inhibitor Clavulanic Acid. Amoxicillin has a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against many Gram-positive & Gram-negative microorganisms but it is susceptible to degradation by (3-lactamases and therefore the spectrum of activity does not include microorganisms, which produce these enzymes. Clavulanic acid possesses the ability to inactivate a wide range of beta-lactamase enzymes commonly found in microorganisms resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins. Thus Clavulanic acid in this preparation protects Amoxicillin from degradation by (3-lactamase enzymes and effectively extends the antibiotic spectrum to embrace a wide range of microorganisms.

Pharmacokinetic properties: The pharmacokinetics of the two components of Co-amoxiclav is closely matched. Peak serum levels of both occur about one hour after oral administration. Absorption of Co-amoxiclav is optimized at the start of a meal. Both clavulanate and Amoxicillin have low levels of serum binding; about 70% remains free in the serum. Doubling the dosage of Co-amoxiclav approximately doubles the serum levels achieved.

Other component or Preparation of Amoxacilline:-

1.Powder for Suspension:-Augment (125mg+31.5mg)/5ml AS A (Amoxicillin +Clavulanic Acid) AS A Broad spectrum penicillins. 100ml bottle.

Indications Of Tablet:Maxpro Hp (1000mg+20mg+500mg) AS A AMOXICILLIN+Esomeprazole+Clarithromycin AS A Anti H. pylori drugs.

Maxpro Hp is indicated for the eradication of H. pylori in active chronic gastric, duodenal and gastric ulcers.

Side Effects Of Tablet- Maxpro Hp (1000mg+20mg+500mg) AS A AMOXICILLIN+Esomeprazole+Clarithromycin AS A Anti H. pylori drugs.

H. pylori eradication therapy is generally well tolerated. Adverse events reported during clinical trials were not unexpected given the component substances. Common adverse reactions included diarrhoea and nausea.

Pharmacology:-

Esomeprazole exerts its stomach acid-suppressing effects by preventing the final step in gastric acid production by covalently binding to sulfhydryl groups of cysteines found on the (H+, K+)-ATPase enzyme at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells. This effect leads to inhibition of both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion, irrespective of the stimulus. As the binding of esomeprazole to the (H+, K+)-ATPase enzyme is irreversible and new enzyme needs to be expressed in order to resume acid secretion, esomeprazole’s duration of antisecretory effect that persists longer than 24 hours

Amoxicillin is similar to penicillin in its bactericidal action against susceptible bacteria during the stage of active multiplication. It acts through the inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis that leads to the death of the bacteria.

Clarithromycin acts by inhibiting microsomal protein synthesis in susceptible organisms mainly by binding to the donor site on the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and preventing translocation to that site.

Indications Of Capsule:A-Flox (250mg,500mg) AS A Flucloxacillin Sodium (AS A Penicillinase-resistant penicillins):-

A-Flox is indicated for the treatment of infections due to Gram-positive organisms, including infections caused by penicillinase producing staphylococci. These indications include:

  • Skin and soft tissue infections: Boils, abscess, carbuncles, infected skin conditions (e.g. ulcer, eczema, acne, furunculosis, cellulitis, infected wounds, infected burns, otitis media and externa, impetigo).
  • Respiratory tract infections: Pneumonia, lung abscess, empyema, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, quinsy.

Side Effects Of Capsule:A-Flox (250mg,500mg) AS A Flucloxacillin Sodium (AS A Penicillinase-resistant penicillins):-

There have been some common side effects of gastrointestinal tract such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dyspepsia and other minor gastrointestinal disturbances. Besides these rashes, urticaria, purpura, fever, interstitial nephritis, hepatitis and cholestatic jaundice have been reported.

Pharmacology:-

Flucloxacillin is active against Gram-positive organisms including penicillinase producing strains. It has little activity against Gram-negative bacilli. Flucloxacillin acts by inhibiting the formation of cell wall of bacteria. Flucloxacillin is isoxazolyl penicillin which combined the properties of resistance to hydrolysis by penicillinase, gastric acid stability and activity against gram-positive bacteria. Flucloxacillin is a bactericidal antibiotic that is particularly useful against penicillinase-producing staphylococci. Flucloxacillin kills bacterial cellwall, thus interfering with peptidoglycan synthesis. Peptidoglycan is a heteropolymeric structure that provides the cell wall with its mechanical stability. The final stage of peptidoglycan synthesis involves the completion of the cross-linking with the terminal glycine residue of the pentaglycin bridge linking to the fourth residue of the pentapeptide (D-alanine). The transpeptidase enzyme that performs this step is inhibited by Flucloxacillin. As a result the bacterial cellwall is weakened, the cell swells and then ruptures. Flucloxacillin resists the action of bacterial penicillinase probably because of the steric hindrance induced by the acyl side chain which prevents the opening of the β- lactam ring.

Indications of of IV Infusion Vanmycin 1gm/vial ( AS A Vancomycin Hydrochloride):-

Vancomycin is indicated in potentially life-threatening infections which cannot be treated with other effective, less toxic antimicrobial drugs including the penicillins and cephalosporins.

Vancomycin is useful in the therapy of severe staphylococcal infections in patients who cannot receive or who have failed to respond to the penicillins and cephalosporins or who have infections with staphylococci, resistant to other antibiotics.

Vancomycin is used in the treatment of endocarditis and as prophylaxis against endocarditis in patients undergoing dental or surgical procedures.

Its effectiveness has been documented in other infections due to staphylococci including osteomyelitis, pneumonia, septicemia and soft tissue infections.

  • Other Componenet or Preparation Vancomycin:
  • 1.CAPSULE:-VANCOMIN 250MG AS A VANCOMYCIN HYDROCHLORIDE.

Pharmacology:-

Vancomycin binds tightly to D-alanyl-D-alanine portion cell wall precursor causing blockage of glycopeptide polymerisation which produces immediate inhibition of cell wall synthesis and secondary damage to the cytoplasmic membrane.

  •  

2.Rifampin or Rifampicin:-Tablet 1:Rimactane 450 mg (AS A Rifampicin AS A Anti-Tubercular Antibiotics).

Indications Of Tablet 1:Rimactane 450 mg (AS A Rifampicin AS A Anti-Tubercular Antibiotics):-

In the treatment of both tuberculosis and the meningococcal carrier state, the small number of resistant cells present within large populations of susceptible cells can rapidly become the predominant type. Bacteriologic cultures should be obtained before the start of therapy to confirm the susceptibility of the organism to rifampinand they should be repeated throughout therapy to monitor the response to treatment. Since resistance can emerge rapidly, susceptibility tests should be performed in the event of persistent positive cultures during the course of treatment. If test results show resistance to rifampin and the patient is not responding to therapy, the drug regimen should be modified.

Side Effects Of Tablet :Rimactane 450 mg (AS A Rifampicin AS A Anti-Tubercular Antibiotics):-

 

Facial flushing and itching, with or without a rash, flu-like syndrome characterised by episodes of fever, chills, headache, dizziness, bone pain, shortness of breath, and malaise; GI adverse effects (e.g. nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhoea, epigastric distress), pseudomembranous colitis, eosinophilia, leucopenia, haemolytic anaemia; alterations in kidney function and renal failure, menstrual disturbances, oedema, myopathy, muscular weakness; orange-red discolouration of the urine, faeces, sweat, saliva, sputum, tears, and other body fluids; thrombophlebitis, local irritation and inflammation after prolonged IV infusion. Rarely, eye irritation and visual disturbances, anaphylaxis or shock.

Pharmacology:-

Rifampicin suppresses initiation of chain formation for RNA synthesis in susceptible bacteria by binding to the β subunit of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thus blocking RNA transcription.

Since resistance can emerge rapidly, susceptibility tests should be performed in the event of persistent positive cultures during the course of treatment. If test results show resistance to rifampin and the patient is not responding to therapy, the drug regimen should be modified.

General disorders and Administration site conditions: Application site reactions including skin discoloration; Not known.

Pharmacology:-

Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 23S RNA of the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome. It impedes both the assembly of the ribosome and the translation process. The molecular mechanism through which this occurs is thought to be due to clindamycin’s three-dimensional structure, which closely resembles the 3′-ends of L-Pro-Met-tRNA and deacylated-tRNA during the peptide elongation cycle – in acting as a structural analog of these tRNA molecules, clindamycin impairs peptide chain initiation and may stimulate dissociation of peptidyl-tRNA from bacterial ribosomes.

The peroxide bond of benzoyl peroxide is cleaved to form 2 benzoyloxy radicals.1 These radicals interact nonspecifically with bacterial proteins, interfering with their function, and survival of the bacteria. Over time, free radical interactions with bacterial proteins lead to decreased keratin and sebum around follicles. Benzoyl peroxide can also increase the turnover rate of epithelial cells, leading to skin peeling, and breaking down comedones.

Side Effects of Capsule Tetrax 500mg (AS A Tetracycline Hydrochloride  AS A Tetracycline group of drugs):-

Teeth and bone: Tetrax can cause depression of bone growth, permanent graybrown discoloration of the teeth and enamel hypoplasia when given during tooth development (i.e. during the later half of pregnancy, during infancy and in childhood).

Hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, urticaria and rashes are uncommon. Photosensitivity reactions consisting of a red rash on areas exposed to intense sunlight can occur with Tetrax.

Gastrointestinal effects: Epigastric distress and nausea are commonly seen after oral administration, and these symptoms are somewhat dose related. Vomiting can occur.

Accentuated prerenal azotemia: Tetrax appears to aggravate pre-existing renal failure by inhibiting protein synthesis, which increases the azotemia from amino acid metabolism.

Superinfections with oral and anogenital candidiasis are relatively common in patients taking Tetrax.

Esophageal ulcerations: In most cases, the patients were taking the capsules with little or no fluid before going to bed. To help minimize this, oral doses should be given with adequate amounts of fluid.

Pharmacology:-

Tetracycline has its main mechanism of action on protein synthesis, and an energy-dependent active transport system pumps the drug through the inner cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. Once inside the bacterial cell, Tetracycline binds specifically to the 30s ribosomes and inhibit bacterial protein synthesis.

Many Gram positive aerobic Cocci are susceptible, but many strains of staphylococci, streptococci and even some pneumococci are resistant to Tetracycline. Thus, tetracycline is not the drug of choice in infections due to gram positive aerobes.

Pseudomonas and many Enterobacteriaceae are resistant. Urinary concentrations are adequate for some community – acquired E. coli and consequently, Tetracycline is still used in uncomplicated initial UTIs. Tetracycline is also active against and is the drug of choice for Brucella species, Calymmatobacterium granulomatis, Vibrio cholerae and V. vulnificus.

Tetracycline is also active against anaerobic species of bacteria and since concentrations of the drug are quite high in the gastrointestinal contents, the enteric flora are usually altered by the drug.

Tetracycline is incompletely absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, about 60 to 80% of a dose of tetracycline usually being available. It is widely distributed through the body tissues and fluids.

Tetracycline has a half-life of about 12 hours. It is excreted in the urine and in the faeces.

Adverse events primarily involving the skin, including rash, pruritus and Purpura; the gastrointestinal system including diarrhea, Constipation, nausea, vomiting, Dyspepsia and Abdominal Pain; General disorders and administration site conditions including Fever, Injection site reaction (≤1%) and Rigors. (≤1%), Immune hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions (including shock) (≤1%), Infections-Candidiasis and Pseudomembranous colitis (≤1%), Metabolism and nutrition disorders- Hypoglycemia (≤1%), Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders- Myalgia and Arthralgia (≤1%), Psychiatric disorders Insomnia, Vascular disorders- Phlebitis Thrombophlebitis(≤1%), Hypotension(≤1%), Flushing(≤1%), Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders- Epistaxis (≤1%).

Pharmacology:-

Piperacillin, a broad spectrum, semi-synthetic penicillin active against many gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, exerts bactericidal activity by inhibition of both septum and cell wall synthesis. Tazobactam is a potent inhibitor of many beta-lactamases, including the plasmid and chromosomally mediated enzymes that commonly cause resistance to penicillins. Tazobactam enhances and extends the antibiotic spectrum of Piperacillin to include many beta-lactamase-producing bacteria normally resistant to it. Thus, this infusion combines the properties of a broad-spectrum antibiotic and a beta-lactamase inhibitor.

Powder For Suspension 3: Penvik Forte 250mg/5ml 100ml bottle.

Indications Of Tablet Penvick Ds 500mg(AS A Phenoxymethyl Penicillin (Penicillin V). (Benzylpenicillin & Phenoxymethyl penicillin):-

For the treatment of mild to moderately severe bacterial infections, if these are due to penicillin susceptible pathogens and respond to therapy with oral penicillin, such as:

  • infections of the ear, nose and throat regions, e.g., tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, otitis media, sinusitis.
  • infections of the lower respiratory tract, e.g., bronchitis and pneumonia, bronchopneumonia.
  • infections due to beta-hemolytic streptococci of group A, e.g., scarlet fever, erysipelas, rheumatic fever.
  • skin infections, e.g., pyodermia, furunculosis, phlegmon, erysipeloid, erythema migrans, insofar as the micro-organisms are penicillin-susceptible.
  • lymphadenitis and lymphangitis of bacterial origin.
  • infections of the buccal cavity, gums or jaws, e.g., inflammatory infiltrates, delayed dentition stages II and III, antral fistulae, secondary bacterial infection with Gram-positive pathogens following virus-induced gingivitis or stomatitis.

For prophylaxis of scarlet fever; also to prevent recurrences of rheumatic fever. For prophylaxis of infection after dental and oral surgical procedures or dental extractions in certain high risk patients (e.g. with congenital cardiac defects, artificial heart valves, rheumatic endocarditis). In some cases, combination with another appropriate antibiotic may be indicated.

Side Effects Of Tablet Penvick Ds 500mg(AS A Phenoxymethyl Penicillin (Penicillin V). (Benzylpenicillin & Phenoxymethyl penicillin):-

Occasionally, hypersensitivity reactions involving the skin (e.g. urticaria, morbilliform or scarlatiniform rashes, pruritus), eosinophilia or more serious allergic reactions, e.g. drug fever, vasculitis, serum sickness or interstitial nephritis, may develop. Anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions accompanied by, e.g- angioneurotic oedema, oedema of the larynx, bronchial spasm and shock may occur.

In the event of signs pointing to anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions, the treatment must be terminated immediately. In occasional instances, there may be skin rashes or inflammation of mucous membranes, especially in the region of the mouth (stomatitis); dryness of the mouth and disorders of taste may rarely occur.

The occurrence of severe bullous skin reactions- usually involving the mucosae- has been reported in isolated cases (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Lyell’s syndrome). Gastrointestinal disturbances with, e.g., nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loose stools, or diarrhoea may develop.

Diarrhoea may sometimes be a symptom of enterocolitis which may, in some cases, be haemorrhagic. A particular form of enterocolitis that can occur with antibiotics is pseudomembranous colitis (in most cases due to Clostridium diffcile). This must be considered in patients in whom severe, persistent diarrhoea occurs during treatment or in the initial weeks thereafter. Even if pseudomembranous colitis is only suspected, administration of Penvik DS must be halted immediately. This type of colitis requires immediate and appropriate treatment by a physician. Drugs that inhibit intestinal peristalsis must not be taken in such cases. In isolated cases, particularly after high doses and prolonged administration, changes in blood picture such as reduction in the number of white blood cells (e.g.,leucopenia, granulocytopenia, agranulocytosis), erythrocytes (e.g., due to haemolytic anaemia), thrombocytes, or pancytopenia and myelosuppression may occur. During treatment for spirochaetal infections, Herxheimer’s reaction characterized by the occurrence or worsening of general symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, and joint pains may develop. In isolated cases, drug-induced aseptic meningitis may occur.

In extremely rare cases, transient discolouration of the teeth may be seen during treatment with Penvik DS. Administration of antibiotics, especially if prolonged, may lead to the proliferation of resistant micro organisms.

Beta-lactams predispose the patient to encephalopathy risk (which may include convulsions, confusion, impairment of consciousness, movement disorders), particularly in case of overdose or renal impairment.

Pharmacology:-

Phenoxymethyl penicillin or penicillin V is acid-stable and is absorbed from the upper part of the small intestine. Of different forms of Phenoxymethyl penicillin, the potassium salt of Phenoxymethyl penicillin is best absorbed. This may be given with meals but maximum absorption is achieved when drug is administered orally at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after the meal. Phenoxymethyl penicillin offers a very convenient means of treating Grampositive infections. Phenoxymethyl penicillin has the distinct advantage over penicillin G in resistance to inactivation by gastric acid.

Ultrapime is indicated for the treatment of the following infections caused by susceptible strains of the microorganisms:

  • Pneumonia (moderate to severe): caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, including cases associated with concurrent bacteremia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Enterobacter species.
  • Febrile Neutropenia: Ultrapime as monotherapy is indicated for empiric treatment of febrile neutropenic patients. In patients at high risk for severe infection (including patients with a history of recent bone marrow transplantation, with hypotension at presentation, with an underlying hematologic malignancy, or with severe or prolonged neutropenia), antimicrobial monotherapy may not be appropriate. Insufficient data exist to support the efficacy of cefepime monotherapy in such patients.
  • Uncomplicated and Complicated Urinary Tract Infections (including pyelonephritis): caused by Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae, when the infection is severe, or caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Proteus mirabilis, when the infection is mild to moderate, including cases associated with concurrent bacteremia with these microorganisms.
  • Uncomplicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections: caused by Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin- susceptible strains only) or Streptococcus pyogenes.
  • Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections (used in combination with metronidazole): caused by Escherichia coli, viridians group streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter species, or Bacteroides fragilis.

Side Effects Of Injection:Ultrapime IM/IV injection 500mg/Vial

Tetracycline Hydrochloride Oral:-

Capsule 1:-Tetrax 500mg AS A Tetracycline Hydrochloride AS A Tetracycline group of drugs. Tetracycline has its main mechanism of action on protein synthesis, and an energy-dependent active transport system pumps the drug through the inner cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. Once inside the bacterial cell, Tetracycline binds specifically to the 30s ribosomes and inhibit bacterial protein synthesis.

Many Gram positive aerobic Cocci are susceptible, but many strains of staphylococci, streptococci and even some pneumococci are resistant to Tetracycline. Thus, tetracycline is not the drug of choice in infections due to gram positive aerobes. Tetracycline is also active against anaerobic species of bacteria and since concentrations of the drug are quite high in the gastrointestinal contents, the enteric flora are usually altered by the drug.

Capsule2:-Tetrasina 250mg.

Indications Capsule -Tetrax 500mg AS A Tetracycline Hydrochloride AS A Tetracycline group of drugs.

Tetrax is the drug of choice in the following infections :

  • Ricketsial infection (Rocky Mountain spotted fever, endemic and scrub typhus fever and human ehrlichiosis).
  • Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in adults. Outbreaks of pneumonia caused by this organism are common in barracks and institutions. Most cases occur in children and young adults. Maculopapular rashes, haemolytic anaemia and meningo-encephalitis occur rarely.
  • Chlamydial Infections: Chlamydia psittaci: This organism is the cause of psittacosis (ornithosis), a systemic illness contracted from infected birds. The pneumonia associated with it may be extensive, and severe systemic upset and death are common.Headache is a prominent early symptom.
  • Non-gonococcal or non specific urethritis: Inflammation of the urethra not resulting from gonococcal, chlamydial, or other specific infectious agents.
  • Lyme disease
  • Brucellosis
  • Miscellaneous infections, including granuloma inguinale, cholera, glanders, relapsing fever and V. vulnifians.

Other common uses of tetracycline include the following:

  • Urinary Tract Infections with susceptible organisms (including the acute urethral syndrome in women).
  • Bronchitis in patients with known underlying chronic lung diseases.
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) regimen.
  • Travelers diarrhoea.
  • Acne vulgaris
  • Prostatitis.
  • As an alternative agent in the penicillin allergic patient with syphilis.
  • Anaerobic infections with susceptible organisms.

Side Effects of Capsule -Tetrax 500mg AS A Tetracycline Hydrochloride AS A Tetracycline group of drugs:-

Teeth and bone: Tetrax can cause depression of bone growth, permanent graybrown discoloration of the teeth and enamel hypoplasia when given during tooth development (i.e. during the later half of pregnancy, during infancy and in childhood).

Hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, urticaria and rashes are uncommon. Photosensitivity reactions consisting of a red rash on areas exposed to intense sunlight can occur with Tetrax.

Gastrointestinal effects: Epigastric distress and nausea are commonly seen after oral administration, and these symptoms are somewhat dose related. Vomiting can occur.

Accentuated prerenal azotemia: Tetrax appears to aggravate pre-existing renal failure by inhibiting protein synthesis, which increases the azotemia from amino acid metabolism.

Superinfections with oral and anogenital candidiasis are relatively common in patients taking Tetrax.

Esophageal ulcerations: In most cases, the patients were taking the capsules with little or no fluid before going to bed. To help minimize this, oral doses should be given with adequate amounts of fluid.

Pharmacology:-

Tetracycline has its main mechanism of action on protein synthesis, and an energy-dependent active transport system pumps the drug through the inner cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. Once inside the bacterial cell, Tetracycline binds specifically to the 30s ribosomes and inhibit bacterial protein synthesis.

Many Gram positive aerobic Cocci are susceptible, but many strains of staphylococci, streptococci and even some pneumococci are resistant to Tetracycline. Thus, tetracycline is not the drug of choice in infections due to gram positive aerobes.

Pseudomonas and many Enterobacteriaceae are resistant. Urinary concentrations are adequate for some community – acquired E. coli and consequently, Tetracycline is still used in uncomplicated initial UTIs. Tetracycline is also active against and is the drug of choice for Brucella species, Calymmatobacterium granulomatis, Vibrio cholerae and V. vulnificus.

Tetracycline is also active against anaerobic species of bacteria and since concentrations of the drug are quite high in the gastrointestinal contents, the enteric flora are usually altered by the drug.

Tetracycline is incompletely absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, about 60 to 80% of a dose of tetracycline usually being available. It is widely distributed through the body tissues and fluids.

Tetracycline has a half-life of about 12 hours. It is excreted in the urine and in the faeces.

The binding is reversible in nature. Oxytetracycline is lipophilic and can easily pass through the cell membrane or passively diffuses through porin channels in the bacterial membrane.

Other component or Preparation Of Oxytetracycline:-

1. Oxytetracycline+Polymixin B Sulphate:-

Ointment 1:-Polytetra (3%+0.013%) 5gm tube (As a Oxytetracycline+Polymixin B Sulphate As a Topical Antibiotic preparations).

Indications Of Ointment :-Polytetra (3%+0.013%) 5gm tube (As a Oxytetracycline+Polymixin B Sulphate As a Topical Antibiotic preparations):-

 

This is indicated for the prophylaxis and local treatment of superficial ocular infections due to oxytetracycline and polymyxin-sensitive organisms, including infections due to streptococci, rickettsiae, E. coli, and A. aerogenes, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, pink eye, corneal ulcer, blepharitis in dogs, cats, cattle, sheep, and horses; ocular infections due to secondary bacterial complications of distemper in dogs, and bacterial inflammatory conditions which may occur secondary to other infectious diseases in the above species.

Side Effects Of Ointment :-Polytetra (3%+0.013%) 5gm tube (As a Oxytetracycline+Polymixin B Sulphate As a Topical Antibiotic preparations):-

All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. When used in small doses, no common side effects have been reported with Polytetra. Seek medical attention right away if any of these severe side effects occur: Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); eye swelling or redness.

Pharmacology:-

The binding is reversible in nature. Oxytetracycline is lipophilic and can easily pass through the cell membrane or passively diffuses through porin channels in the bacterial membrane.

The broad-spectrum effectiveness of this ointment against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms is enhanced by the particular effectiveness of polymyxin B against infections associated with gram-negative organisms, especially those due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, where polymyxin B is the antibiotic of choice. In addition, there is evidence to indicate that polymyxin B sulfate possesses some antifungal activity.

5. Tetracycline Hydrochloride(orally).

Capsule 1:A-Tetra 500mg (As a Tetracycline Hydrochloride As a Tetracycline group of drugs).

Indications of Capsule :A-Tetra 500mg (As a Tetracycline Hydrochloride As a Tetracycline group of drugs):-

A-Tetra is the drug of choice in the following infections :

  • Ricketsial infection (Rocky Mountain spotted fever, endemic and scrub typhus fever and human ehrlichiosis).
  • Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in adults. Outbreaks of pneumonia caused by this organism are common in barracks and institutions. Most cases occur in children and young adults. Maculopapular rashes, haemolytic anaemia and meningo-encephalitis occur rarely.
  • Chlamydial Infections: Chlamydia psittaci: This organism is the cause of psittacosis (ornithosis), a systemic illness contracted from infected birds. The pneumonia associated with it may be extensive, and severe systemic upset and death are common.Headache is a prominent early symptom.
  • Non-gonococcal or non specific urethritis: Inflammation of the urethra not resulting from gonococcal, chlamydial, or other specific infectious agents.
  • Lyme disease
  • Brucellosis
  • Miscellaneous infections, including granuloma inguinale, cholera, glanders, relapsing fever and V. vulnifians.

Other common uses of tetracycline include the following:

  • Urinary Tract Infections with susceptible organisms (including the acute urethral syndrome in women).
  • Bronchitis in patients with known underlying chronic lung diseases.
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) regimen.
  • Travelers diarrhoea.
  • Acne vulgaris
  • Prostatitis.
  • As an alternative agent in the penicillin allergic patient with syphilis.
  • Anaerobic infections with susceptible organisms.

Side Effects of Capsule :A-Tetra 500mg (As a Tetracycline Hydrochloride As a Tetracycline group of drugs):-

 

Teeth and bone: A-Tetra can cause depression of bone growth, permanent graybrown discoloration of the teeth and enamel hypoplasia when given during tooth development (i.e. during the later half of pregnancy, during infancy and in childhood).

Hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, urticaria and rashes are uncommon. Photosensitivity reactions consisting of a red rash on areas exposed to intense sunlight can occur with A-Tetra.

Gastrointestinal effects: Epigastric distress and nausea are commonly seen after oral administration, and these symptoms are somewhat dose related. Vomiting can occur.

Accentuated prerenal azotemia: A-Tetra appears to aggravate pre-existing renal failure by inhibiting protein synthesis, which increases the azotemia from amino acid metabolism.

Superinfections with oral and anogenital candidiasis are relatively common in patients taking A-Tetra.

Esophageal ulcerations: In most cases, the patients were taking the capsules with little or no fluid before going to bed. To help minimize this, oral doses should be given with adequate amounts of fluid.

Pharmacology:-

Tetracycline has its main mechanism of action on protein synthesis, and an energy-dependent active transport system pumps the drug through the inner cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. Once inside the bacterial cell, Tetracycline binds specifically to the 30s ribosomes and inhibit bacterial protein synthesis.

Many Gram positive aerobic Cocci are susceptible, but many strains of staphylococci, streptococci and even some pneumococci are resistant to Tetracycline. Thus, tetracycline is not the drug of choice in infections due to gram positive aerobes.

Pseudomonas and many Enterobacteriaceae are resistant. Urinary concentrations are adequate for some community – acquired E. coli and consequently, Tetracycline is still used in uncomplicated initial UTIs. Tetracycline is also active against and is the drug of choice for Brucella species, Calymmatobacterium granulomatis, Vibrio cholerae and V. vulnificus.

Tetracycline is also active against anaerobic species of bacteria and since concentrations of the drug are quite high in the gastrointestinal contents, the enteric flora are usually altered by the drug.

Tetracycline is incompletely absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, about 60 to 80% of a dose of tetracycline usually being available. It is widely distributed through the body tissues and fluids.

Tetracycline has a half-life of about 12 hours. It is excreted in the urine and in the faeces.

6.Tigecycline:-

IV Infusion 1:-Widebac 50mg/Vial (As a Tigecycline As a Tetracycline group of drugs).

The following drug-related adverse events are reported infrequently in patients receiving Widebac: Injection site inflammation & pain, septic shock, allergic reaction, chills, thrombophlebitis, bradycardia, tachycardia, vasodilatation, anorexia, dry mouth, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, prolonged prothrombin time, eosinophilia, thrombocytopenia, vaginal moniliasis, vaginitis, leukorrhea.

Pharmacology:-

Tigecycline, a glycylcycline, inhibits protein translation in bacteria by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocking entry of amino-acyl tRNA molecules into the A site of the ribosome. This prevents incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains. Tigecycline carries a glycylamido moiety attached to the 9-position of minocycline. The substitution pattern is not present in any naturally occurring or semisynthetic tetracycline and imparts certain microbiologic properties to tigecycline. Tigecycline is not affected by the two major tetracycline resistance mechanisms, ribosomal protection and efflux. Accordingly, tigecycline has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens. There has been no cross resistance observed between tigecycline and other antibiotics. Tigecycline is not affected by resistance mechanisms such as beta-lactamases (including extended spectrum beta-lactamases), target site modifications, macrolide efflux pumps or enzyme target changes (e.g. gyrase/topoisomerase). In vitro studies have not demonstrated antagonism between tigecycline and other commonly used antibacterial drugs. In general, tigecycline is considered bacteriostatic.

3.Macrolides:-

1.Azithromycin:-

1.Azithromycin Orally:-

Tablet1:Zimax 500mg,Rozith 250mg,AS A Azithromycin Dihydrate AS A Macrolides.

Indications Of Tablet:-Zimax 500mg,Rozith 250mg,AS A Azithromycin Dihydrate AS A Macrolides:-

Zimax is indicated for infections (caused by susceptible organisms) in lower respiratory tract infections including bronchitis and pneumonia, in upper respiratory tract infections including sinusitis and pharyngitis/tonsillitis, in otitis media, and in skin and soft tissue infections. In sexually transmitted diseases in men and women, Zimax is indicated in the treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis due to Chlamydia trachomatis.

Side Effects Of Tablet:-Zimax 500mg,Rozith 250mg,AS A Azithromycin Dihydrate AS A Macrolides:-

Zimax is well tolerated with a low incidence of side-effects. Most side-effects observed were mild to moderate in severity. The majority of side-effects were gastrointestinal in origin with nauseas, abdominal discomfort (pain/cramps), vomiting, flatulence, diarrhoea and loose stools being occasionally observed. Allergic reactions such as rash or photosensitivity have occurred and there have also been rare reports of serious hypersensitivity reactions. Reversible elevations in liver transaminases have been seen with a frequency similar to the comparative macrolides and penicillins used in clinical trials. Rarely, cases of cholestatic jaundice have been observed. Transient mild reductions in neutrofil counts have occasionally been observed in clinical trials, although a causal relationship to azithromycin has not been established. Hearing impairment: In investigational studies where higher doses were used for prolonged periods of time, reversible hearing impairment was seen in some patients.

Pharmacology:-

Azithromycin is acid-stable and can therefore be taken orally with no need of protection from gastric acids. It is readily absorbed; its absorption is greater on an empty stomach. Time to peak concentration in adults is 2.1 to 3.2 hours for oral dosage forms. Due to the high concentration in phagocytes, azithromycin is actively transported to the site of infection. During active phagocytosis, large concentrations of azithromycin are released. The concentration of azithromycin in the tissues can be over 50 times higher than in plasma. This is due to ion trapping and the high lipid solubility.

Azithromycin’s half-life allows a large single dose to be administered and yet maintain bacteriostatic levels in the infected tissue for several days. Following a single 500 mg dose, plasma concentrations of azithromycin declined in a polyphasic pattern with a mean apparent plasma clearance of 630 mL/min and a terminal elimination half life of 68 hours. The prolonged terminal half-life is thought to be due to extensive uptake and subsequent release of drug from tissues. Biliary excretion of azithromycin, predominantly unchanged, is a major route of elimination. Over the course of a week, approximately 6% of the administered dose appears as unchanged drug in urine.

Microbiology: Azithromycin acts by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible microorganisms and, thus, interfering with microbial protein synthesis. Nucleic acid synthesis is not affected. Azithromycin has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections:

  • Aerobic and facultative gram-positive microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes
  • Aerobic and facultative gram-negative microorganisms: Haemophilus ducreyi, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae
  • Other microorganisms: Chlamydia pneumoniae, Chlamydia trachomatis , Mycoplasma pneumoniae , Betalactamase production should have no effect on azithromycin activity.
  • Aerobic and facultative gram-positive microorganisms: Streptococci (Groups C,F,G), Viridans group streptococci
  • Aerobic and facultative gram-negative microorganisms: Bordetella pertussis, Legionella pneumophila
  • Anaerobic microorganisms: Peptostreptococcus species, Prevotella bivia

Pharmacology:-

Clarithromycin acts by inhibiting microsomal protein synthesis in susceptible organisms mainly by binding to the donor site on the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and preventing translocation to that site. Clarithromycin is active against most Gram-positive bacteria and Chlamydia, some Gram-negative bacteria and Mycoplasmas. Clarithromycin’s activity is the same as, or greater than, that of Erythromycin in vitro against most Gram-positive bacteria. Clarithromycin is more acid-stable than Erythromycin and therefore, is better tolerated. Clarithromycin has twice the activity of Erythromycin against H. influenzae. Most species of Gram-negative bacteria are resistant to Clarithromycin because of failure to penetrate the target.

Pharmacology:-

Erythromycin inhibits microsomal protein synthesis in susceptible organisms by inhibiting the translocation process. Specific binding to the 50S subunit or 70S ribosome occurs in these organisms but there is no binding to the stable 80S mammalian ribosome. Erythromycin is active against many Grampositive bacteria, some Gram-negative bacteria and against mycoplasmas and chlamydia.

Absorption: Erythromycin base is destroyed by acid and is therefore administered in the form of stable ester. The rates of absorption of the base and esters are diminished by the presence of food. The stearate is hydrolyzed in the intestine and the free erythromycin absorbed.

Blood concentration: After an oral dose of 500 mg. of the base of stearate, peak serum concentrations of 0.9 to 1.4 or 0.4 to 1.8 mg/ml. respectively are attained in 1 to 4 hours. Half-life: The serum half-life is 1.2 to 4 hours. In subjects with oliguria, the half-life is about 5 hours.

Distribution: Erythromycin is widely distributed throughout body tissue and fluids with some retention in the liver and spleen, protein binding of erythromycin base is 73%. Erythromycin enters the cerebrospinal fluid when the meninges are inflamed. It also crosses the placenta and is excreted in the milk.

Excretion: 5 to 15 % of the dose of erythromycin is excreted in the urine and large amounts of the unchanged active substance are excreted in the bile.

Clinical studies have shown Akicin also to be effective in serious complicated and recurrent urinary tract infections due to those organisms.

Akicin was effective in infections caused by gentamicin and/or tobramycin-resistant strains of Gram-negative organisms, particularly Proteus rettgeri, Providencia stuartii, Serratia marcescens, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Akicin has also been shown to be effective in staphylococci infections and may be considered as initial therapy under certain conditions in the treatment of known or suspected staphylococcal disease such as, severe infections where the causative organism may be either a Gram-negative bacterium or a staphylococcus.

Side Effects Injection :-Akicin IM/IV 500MG/2ML ,2ML Ampule:-

The adverse effects have been reported with the use of Akicin are tinnitus, vertigo, partial reversible or irreversible deafness, skin rash, drug fever, headache, paraesthesia, nausea and vomiting.

Pharmacology

Amikacin Sulfate is a semi-synthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic. Amikacin is active in vitro against pseudomonas species, Escherichia coli, Proteus species, Providencia species, Klebsiella-Enterobacter species, Acinetobacter species, and Citrobacter freundii. When strains of the above organisms are found to be resistant to other aminoglycosides, including Gentamicin, TobrAmykin and KanAmykin, many are susceptible to Amikacin. Amikacin sulfate is active in vitro against penicillinase and nonpenicillinase-producing Staphylococcus species including methicillin-resistant strains.

Side Effects Of Eye/Ear Drop:-Gentabac 0.3% 10ml drop( AS A Gentamicin Sulfate Ophthalmic antibacterial drugs):-

In patients with dermatoses treated with gentamicin, irritation (erythema and pruritus) had been reported in small number of cases. Itching, redness, swelling or other signs of irritation may develop. With the eye/ear drop bacterial and corneal ulcer have developed during treatment with gentamicin. Most frequently reported adverse reactions are ocular burning and irritation upon drug instillation, non specific conjunctivitis, conjunctival epithelial defects, and conjunctival hyperemia.

Pharmacology

Gentamicin sulphate  actively transported across the bacterial cell membrane, binds to a specific receptor protein on the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes and interferes with an initiation complex between mRNA (messenger RNA) and the 30 S subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis. DNA may be misread, thus producing nonfunctional proteins; polyribosomes are split apart and are unable to synthesize protein.

Eye drops may be absorbed following topical application to the eye. Ear drops may be absorbed following topical application to the ear, especially if the eardrum is perforated or if tissue damage is present.

Gentamicin sulphate is active against many strains of the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Niesseria gonorrhoea, Pseudomonus aeruginosa, and Serratia marcescens.

High doses of corticosteroids can cause cushing’s syndrome-with moon face, striae, and acne; it is usually reversible on withdrawal of treatment. In children, administration of corticosteroids may result in suppression of growth.

Pharmacology:-

Corticosteroids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, inhibiting pro-inflammatory signals, and promoting anti-inflammatory signals. Betamethasone phosphate has a short duration of action as it is rapidly hydrolyzed to betamethasone. Corticosteroids have a wide therapeutic window as patients may require doses that are multiples of what the body naturally produces. Patients taking corticosteroids should be counselled regarding the risk of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression and increased susceptibility to infections.

Pharmacology:-

Betamethasone Dipropionate is a topical corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive properties. Betamethasone Dipropionate induces peptides called lipocortins. Lipocortins antagonize phospholipase A2, an enzyme that causes the breakdown of leukocyte lysosomal membranes to release arachidonic acid. This action decreases the subsequent formation and release of endogenous inflammatory mediators including prostaglandins, kinins, histamine.

Pharmacokinetics: Betamethasone Dipropionate can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. Corticosteroids are metabolized primarily in the liver.lt excreted by the kidneys.

Intensive or prolonged use of topical corticosteroids may lead to formation of posterior subcapsular cataracts. In those diseases causing thinning of the cornea or sclera, corticosteroid therapy may result in thinning of the globe leading to perforation. Mydriasis, ptosis and epithelial punctate keratitis have also been reported following ophthalmic use of corticosteroids.

Pharmacology:-

Corticosteroids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, inhibiting pro-inflammatory signals, and promoting anti-inflammatory signals. Betamethasone phosphate has a short duration of action as it is rapidly hydrolyzed to betamethasone. Corticosteroids have a wide therapeutic window as patients may require doses that are multiples of what the body naturally produces. Patients taking corticosteroids should be counselled regarding the risk of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression and increased susceptibility to infections.

Possible side effects are allergic reactions, headache, skin rash, redness or itching, unusual tiredness or weakness, yellow eyes or skin.

Pharmacology:-

Fusidic acid is only effective against gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus and Corynebacterium minutissimum. The antibacterial action of fusidic acid results from inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. The drug interferes with amino acid transfer from aminoacyl-tRNA to protein on the ribosomes. Betamethasone induces lipocortin which inhibits phospholipase A-2 enzyme which results in the inhibition of different inflammartory mediators synthesis like prostaglandins, cinins, histamines.

Pharmacokinetics: Fusidic acid can penetrate intact human skin. As much as 2% of the amount of topically applied fusidic acid penetrates intact skin. The degree of penetration depends on factors such as the duration of exposure to fusidic acid and the condition of the skin. Fusidic acid is excreted mainly in the bile with little excreted in the urine. Dermal absorption and potency of any topical corticosteroid including betamethasone depends on the vehicle in which the steroid is delivere.

The most common adverse reactions are folliculitis and burning sensation of skin.

Pharmacology:-

Betamethasone Dipropionate is a potent topically-active corticosteroid producing prompt, marked and prolonged anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, vasoconstrictive and immunosuppressive properties, without curing the underlying condition. These effects can be enhanced under occlusive conditions due to increased penetration of stratum corneum (by approximately a factor of 10).

Calcipotriol is a non-steroidal antipsoriatic agent, derived from vitamin D. Calcipotriol exhibits a vitamin D-like effect by competing for the 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor. Calcipotriol is as potent as 1,25(OH)2D3, the naturally occurring active form of vitamin D, in regulating cell proliferation and cell differentiation, but much less active than 1,25(OH)2D3 in its effect on calcium metabolism. Calcipotriol induces differentiation and suppresses proliferation (without any evidence of a cytotoxic effect) of keratinocytes, thus reversing the abnormal keratinocyte changes in psoriasis. The therapeutic goal envisaged with Calcipotriol is thus a normalization of epidermal growth.

8. Betamethasone+Neomycin Sulphate(Eye/Ear):-

Ophthalmic Solution:-Eye/Ear/Nose Drop 1:-

 Betacin-N (0.1%+0.5%) 5ml drop.(AS A Betamethasone+Neomycin Sulphate Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations)

Side Effects Of Ophthalmic Solution:-Eye/Ear/Nose Drop :-Betacin-N (0.1%+0.5%) 5ml drop.(AS A Betamethasone+Neomycin Sulphate Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations) :-

Acute sensitization to neomycin is a rare event but can occur after topical application to the eye. Eye drops containing corticosteroids cause a serious rise in intra-ocular pressure in a small percentage of the population, including most of those with a family history of glaucoma. A milder rise may be experienced by a larger proportion of subjects if treatment is continued for longer than a few weeks. Thinning of the cornea leading to perforation has occurred with use of topical corticosteroids. Cataract is reported to have occurred after unduly prolonged treatment of eye conditions with topical corticosteroids.

Pharmacology:-

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid which is effective in inflammatory dermatoses. It is also effective in less responsive conditions such as psoriasis.  Betamethasone has a 16β-methyl group that enhances the anti-inflammatory action of the molecule and reduces the sodium and water retaining properties of the fluorine atom bound at carbon 9.

Neomycin sulfate is bactericidal against many bacteria which are commonly associated with skin infections. Neomycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic which actively transported across the bacterial cell membrane, binds to a specific receptor protein on the 30s subunit of bacterial ribosomes, and interferes with an initiation complex between mRNA (messenger RNA) and the 30s subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis. DNA may be misread, thus producing nonfunctional proteins; polyribosomes are split apart and are unable to synthesize protein.

Signs of hypersensitivity may appear. Prolonged and intensive treatment with highly active corticosteroid preparations may cause local atrophic changes in the skin.

Pharmacology:-

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid with mainly glucocorticoid activity. It induces phospholipase A2 inhibitory lipase (lipocortins) and sequentially inhibits the release of arachidonic acid, thereby depressing the formation, release, and activity of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and other inflammatory mediators.

Phenylephrine is a sympathomimetic with mainly direct effects on alpha-adrenergic receptors and weak beta-adrenergic activity. It causes vasoconstriction of the arterioles of the nasal mucosa and conjunctiva; activates the dilator muscle of the pupil to cause contraction; produces vasoconstriction of arterioles in the body and produces systemic arterial vasoconstriction.

Lidocaine alters signal conduction in neurons by blocking the fast voltage-gated Na+ channels in the neuronal cell membrane responsible for signal propagation. With sufficient blockage, the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron will not depolarize and will thus fail to transmit an action potential.

Pharmacology:-

The combination of Polymyxin B sulfate with Neomycin and Bacitracin zinc most nearly meets the criteria for an ideal topical antibacterial preparation. The spectrum of action encompasses virtually all pathogenic bacteria found topically and the three antibiotics are bactericidal. When used topically Polymyxin B sulphate with Neomycin and Bacitracin zinc are rarely irritating, and absorption from the skin or mucous membrane is insignificant. Polymyxin B sulphate attacks gram-negative bacilli including clinically isolated strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This organism is conspicuously absent from the spectra of most other antibiotic agents, but it is highly susceptible to polymyxin B sulphate, which is acknowledged to be the most effective agent known for the treatment and prophylaxis of Pseudomonas infections. Neomycin provides bactericidal action against various gram-positive organisms and gram-negative organisms including many strains of Proteus. Neomycin is considered by various authorities to be the most effective antibiotic against Staphylococcus aureus which is among the more common aetiological organisms in topical bacterial infections. Bacitracin zinc is highly active against gram-positive bacilli and cocci and extends the spectrum to include haemolytic streptococci, thus completing the anti-bacterial range of this Ointment. There is overlapping of the bactericidal spectra of these three antibiotics, thereby providing increased activity through combined antibiotic action.

Cinchocaine+Hydrocortisone+Framycetin+Esculin) (As a Compound steroidal preparations, Drugs used in Ano-rectal region):-

 

Long-term continuous treatment with topical corticosteroids should be avoided as far as possible as this may cause atrophic changes in the skin leading to thinning, loss of elasticity, dilatation of superficial blood vessels, telangiectasia and ecchymoses. These changes are particularly likely to occur when occlusive dressings are used. Systemic absorption of topically applied corticosteroids may occur, particularly under the following conditions: when large quantities are used or when application is made to wide areas of the body, or to damaged skin; when potent topical corticosteroids are used, and when the occlusive dressing technique is applied. Depression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis with consequent suppression of the adrenal gland may occur. These effects are most likely to be severe in children. Growth may be retarded and a Cushingoid state may be produced. Benign intracranial hypertension has been rarely reported.

Pharmacology:-

The local anaesthetic Cinchocaine Hydrochloride prevents or relieves the severe pain sometimes encountered in strangulated haemorrhoids, fissures and perianal haematomata, whilst the corticosteroid (Hydrocortisone) acts as a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic agent and by so doing eliminates itching, inflammation and mucous discharge. The broad spectrum antibiotic, Framycetin Sulphate, will eradicate most infections which may already be present or arise in lesions of the anorectal area and Esculin has a skin protective action.

6.Dexamethasone + Neomycin Sulphate+ Polymyxin B Sulphate:-

Side Effects Of Eye drop :-Neo-DP  (1mg+3500IU+6000IU)/ml 5ml drop

(As a Dexamethasone + Neomycin Sulphate+ Polymyxin B Sulphate As a Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations):-

 

Reactions occurring most often are allergic sensitisations. The reactions due to the steroid component are elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) leading to optic nerve damage, posterior subcapsular cataract formation and delayed wound healing.

Pharmacology:-

Dexamethasone (Corticosteroids) suppress inflammatory response to a variety of agents and they probably delay or slow healing. Since corticosteroid may inhibit the body’s defense mechanism against infection, a concomitant antimicrobial drug may be used when this inhibition is considered to be clinically significant in a particular case. The anti-infective component in the combination is included to provide action against specific organisms susceptible to it.

Neomycin Sulphate is considered active against the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Streptococcus Viridans, Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Aerobacter aerogenes, and Haemophilus influenzae.

Polymyxin B Sulphate is considered active against the following microorganism: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aerobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Koch-Weeks bacillus.

When a decision to administer both a corticosteroid and an antimicrobial is made, the administration of such drugs in combination has the advantage of greater patient compliance and convenience, with the added assurance that the appropriate dosage of both drugs is administered, plus assured compatibility of ingredients when both types of drugs are in the same formulation and, particularly, that the correct volume of drug is delivered and retained.

Dextrobac is indicated for steroid responsive inflammatory ocular conditions (palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea and anterior segment of the globe) where superficial bacterial ocular infection exists. It is also indicated in chronic anterior uveities and corneal injury from chemical radiation or thermal burns, or penetration of foreign bodies. The use of combination with an anti-infective component is indicated where the risk of superficial ocular infection is high.

Side Effects Of Eye drop:-Dextrobac (0.1%+0.3%) 5ml drop (As a Dexamethasone +Tobramycin As a Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations):-

 

The most frequent adverse reactions to topical ocular Tobramycin are hypersensitivity and localized ocular toxicity including lid itching, swelling and conjunctival erythema. This reaction occurs in less than 4% of patients. The reactions due to the steroid component are; elevation of intraocular pressure with possible development of glaucoma, and infrequent optic nerve damage; posterior sub capsular cataract formation; and delayed wound healing.

Pharmacology:-

Like other amino-glycosides, the bactericidal activity of Tobramycin is accomplished by specific inhibition of normal protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria, but at the present time, very little is known about this action. It is thought that inhibition of protein synthesis is due to an action on ribosome that causes bacterial misreading of messenger RNA. The action of Dexamethasone is to inhibit the phospholipase A2, the first step in prostaglandin synthesis. Also Dexamethasone inhibits the chemo-tactic infiltration of neutrophils into the site of inflammation. The result is that its anti-inflammatory activity is 25 times greater and its overall therapeutic effectiveness 8-10 times greater than that of hydrocortisone.

Other Component Of Ciprofloxacin:

1.Ciprofloxacin:-

Tablet 1:-Ciprocin (250mg,500mg,750mg).AS A Ciprofloxacin (As a 4-Quinolone preparations, Anti-diarrhoeal Antimicrobial drugs).

Indications Of Tablet :-Ciprocin (250mg,500mg,750mg).AS A Ciprofloxacin (As a 4-Quinolone preparations, Anti-diarrhoeal Antimicrobial drugs):-

Ciprocin is indicated for the treatment of single infection or mixed infections caused by two or more susceptible organisms. It can also be used for infections caused by organisms resistant to other antibiotics including Aminoglycosides, Penicillins and Cephalosporins.

As antibacterial concentrations of Ciprocin are obtained in serum and body tissues as well as in the urine following administration by mouth, Ciprocin has been suggested for use in the treatment of a wide range of infections caused by susceptible organisms including infections of the urinary, respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, gonorrhoea and septicaemia. The extensive tissue penetration of Ciprocin combined with its enhanced antibacterial activity (including antipseudomonal activity), enables Ciprocin to be used alone (pending sensitivity results) or in combination with an Aminoglycoside or with beta lactam antibiotics for instance when severe neutropenia is present or with an antibiotic active against anaerobes where the presence of bacteroides fragilis is suspected. Ciprocin is indicated for the treatment of the following infections caused by sensitive bacteria:

  • Severe systemic infections: e.g. septicaemia, bacteraemia, peritionitis, infections in immunosuppressed patients with haematological or solid tumors and in patients in intensive care unit with specific problems such as infected burns.

Pharmacology:-

Ciprofloxacin is a synthetic quinolone anti-infective agent. Ciprofloxacion has broad spectrum of activity. It is active against most gram negative aerobic bacteria including Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ciprofloxacin is also active against gram-positive aerobic bacteria including penicillinase producing, non penicillinase producing, and methicillin resistant staphylococci, although many strains of streptococci are relatively resistant to the drug. The bactericidal action of Ciprofloxacin results from interference with the enzyme DNA gyrase needed for the synthesis of bacterial DNA. Following oral administration it is rapidly and well absorbed from the G.I. tract. It is widely distributed into the body tissues and fluids. The half life is about 3.5 hours. About 30% to 50% of an oral dose of Ciprofloxacin is excreted in the urine within 24 hours as unchanged drug and biologically active metabolites.

As with other topical corticosteroids, prolonged use of large amount or treatment of extensive areas can result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce the features of hypercortisolism. The effect is more likely to occur in infants and children and if occlusive dressings are used. Prolonged and intensive treatment with highly active corticosteroid preparations may cause local atrophic changes in the skin such as thinning, striae, and dilatation of the superficial blood vessels, particularly when occlusive dressings are used, or when skin folds are involved. There are reports of pigmentation changes and hypertrichosis with topical steroids.

Pharmacology:-

Clobetasol Propionate is a very potent corticosteroid. It is prescribed to treat severe inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis that have not responded to weaker corticosteroids. Neomycin Sulphate is an antibiotic of the aminoglycoside type and is used to treat infections with bacteria. Nystatin is an antifungal that kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. The mechanism of the topical steroids like Clobetasol, in general, is unclear. However, Clobetasol Propionate is highly active corticosteroid with topical anti-inflammatory activity. The major effect of Clobetasol Propionate on skin is a nonspecific anti-inflammatory response, partially due to vasoconstriction and decrease in collagen synthesis. Neomycin binds to the ribosomal 30s and 50s sub-units of susceptible bacteria and inhibits protein synthesis. Neomycin also causes a misreading of the genetic codes of the mRNA template and this causes incorrect amino acids to be incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain. Nystatin acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of the fungus with a resultant change in membrane permeability allowing leakage of intracellular components.

  • Prolonged and intensive treatment with a highly active corticosteroid preparation may cause local atrophic changes in the skin such as thinning, striae and dilatation of the superficial blood vessels, particularly when occlusive dressings are used or when skin folds are involved.
  • In rare instances, treatment of psoriasis with corticosteroids (or its withdrawal) is thought to have provoked the pustular form of the disease.
  • There are reports of pigmentation changes and hypertrichosis with topical steroids. Dermasol is usually well tolerated, but if signs of hypersensitivity appear, application should be stopped immediately. Exacerbation of symptoms may occur.

Pharmacology:-

Clobetasol Propionate is a very potent topical corticosteroid. It has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive properties. It shows anti-inflammatory activity via multiple mechanisms to inhibit late phase allergic reactions. It decreases the density of mast cells, chemotaxis and activation of eosinophils.

In rare instances, treatment of psoriasis with corticosteroids (or its withdrawal) is thought to have provoked the pustular form of the diseases. Clobetasol Propionate is usually well tolerated, but if signs of hypersensitivity appear, application should be stopped immediately. Possible sensitivity reactions, drying and irritation when using Salicylic Acid.

Pharmacology:-

Clobetasol Propionate high potency corticosteroid. Corticosteroids decrease inflammation by stabilizing leukocyte lysosomal membranes, preventing release of destructive acid hydrolases from leukocytes; inhibiting macrophage accumulation in inflamed areas; reducing leukocyte adhesion to capillary endothelium; reducing capillary wall permeability and edema formation; decreasing complement components; antagonizing histamine activity and release of kinin from substrates; and reducing fibroblast proliferation, collagen deposition, and subsequent scar tissue formation.

Salicylic acid has a potent keratolytic action and a slight antiseptic action when applied topically. It softens and destroys the stratum corneum by increasing endogenous hydration which causes the horny layer of the skin to swell, soften, and then desquamate. At high concentrations, salicylic acid has a caustic effect. It also possesses weak antifungal and antibacterial activity.

Acute sensitization to neomycin is a rare event but can occur after topical application to the eye. Eye drops containing corticosteroids cause a serious rise in intra-ocular pressure in a small percentage of the population, including most of those with a family history of glaucoma. A milder rise may be experienced by a larger proportion of subjects if treatment is continued for longer than a few weeks. Thinning of the cornea leading to perforation has occurred with use of topical corticosteroids. Cataract is reported to have occurred after unduly prolonged treatment of eye conditions with topical corticosteroids.

Pharmacology:-

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid which is effective in inflammatory dermatoses. It is also effective in less responsive conditions such as psoriasis.  Betamethasone has a 16β-methyl group that enhances the anti-inflammatory action of the molecule and reduces the sodium and water retaining properties of the fluorine atom bound at carbon 9.

Neomycin sulfate is bactericidal against many bacteria which are commonly associated with skin infections. Neomycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic which actively transported across the bacterial cell membrane, binds to a specific receptor protein on the 30s subunit of bacterial ribosomes, and interferes with an initiation complex between mRNA (messenger RNA) and the 30s subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis. DNA may be misread, thus producing nonfunctional proteins; polyribosomes are split apart and are unable to synthesize protein.

Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. Just because a side effect is stated here, it does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect. The following side effects are known to be associated with this medicine.

  • Skin irritation at site of application, such as burning, itching and redness.
  • Allergic inflammation of the skin (contact dermatitis).
  • Thinning of the skin.
  • Changes in skin pigmentation.
  • Stretch marks (striae).
  • Groupings of fine blood vessels becoming prominent under the skin (telangiectasia).

Pharmacology:-

Fluocinolone is a type of medicine called a topical corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are medicines used for reducing inflammation. Inflammation of the skin happens as a result of allergy or irritation of the skin, and is caused by the release of various substances that are important in the immune system. These substances cause blood vessels to widen and result in the irritated area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful, such as is seen in dermatitis or eczema.

When fluocinolone is applied to the skin it works by acting inside the cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances. This reduces swelling, redness and itch.

There is a range of potencies of corticosteroids available for application to the skin. This medicine contains fluocinolone 0.025% and is classed as a potent corticosteroid. It is prescribed to treat various inflammatory skin disorders, such as eczema and dermatitis, that have not responded to milder steroids.

Clioquinol has antifungal and antibacterial actions. It works by preventing the growth and multiplication of the organisms.

The combination of fluocinolone and clioquinol is used to treat inflammatory skin disorders that are either infected or likely to become infected.

This cream is more suitable for moist, weeping areas of skin, while the thicker, more greasy ointment is more suitable for dry, scaly areas of skin.

Pharmacology:-

Methylprednisolone binds to and activates intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. Activated glucocorticoid receptors bind to promoter regions of DNA (which may activate or suppress transcription). Unbound glucocorticoids cross cell membranes and bind with high affinity to specific cytoplasmic receptors, modifying transcription and protein synthesis. By this mechanism, glucocorticoids can inhibit leukocyte infiltration at the site of inflammation, interfere with mediators of inflammatory response, and suppress humoral immune responses. The antiinflammatory actions of corticosteroids are thought to involve phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, lipocortins, which control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

Pharmacology:-

Methylprednisolone, a naturally occurring glucocorticoid (hydrocortisone and cortisone), which has also salt-retaining properties, is used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical deficiency states. This synthetic analog is primarily used for its potent anti-inflammatory effects in disorders of many organ systems. The intravenous injection of Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate, demonstrable effects are evident within one hour and persist for a variable period. Excretion of the administered dose is nearly complete within 12 hours. Thus, if constantly high blood levels are required, injections should be made every 4 to 6 hours. This preparation is also rapidly absorbed when administered intramuscularly and is excreted in a pattern similar to that observed after intravenous injection. Its anti-inflammatory potency is greater than prednisolone in the ratio of 5 to 4. It has only minimal mineralocorticoid properties and has less tendency than prednisolone to induce sodium and water retention. It influences carbohydrate, protein, fat and purine metabolism, electrolyte and water balance, and the functional capacities of the cardiovascular system, the kidney, the skeletal muscle, nervous system and other organs and tissues. It exerts a suppressive effect on the immune response.

Pharmacology:-

Triamcinolone Acetonide occurs as a white to cream-colored, crystalline powder having not more than a slight odor and is practically insoluble in water and very soluble in alcohol. It is a synthetic glucocorticoid corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory action. This formulation is suitable for intramuscular and intra-articular use only.

Glucocorticoids, naturally occurring and synthetic, are adrenocortical steroids that are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (e.g. hydrocortisone), which also have salt-retaining properties, are used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical deficiency states. Synthetic analogs such as triamcinolone are primarily used for their anti-inflammatory effects in disorders of many organ systems. Triamcinolone injection has an extended duration of effect which may be sustained over a period of several weeks. Studies indicate that following a single intramuscular dose of 60 mg to 100 mg of Triamcinolone Acetonide, adrenal suppression occurs within 24 to 48 hours and then gradually returns to normal, usually in 30 to 40 days. This finding correlates closely with the extended duration of therapeutic action achieved with the drug.

The following local adverse reactions may occur with corticosteroid-containing dental pastes: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, blistering or peeling not present prior to therapy, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the oral mucosa, secondary infection, and atrophy of the oral mucosa.

Pharmacology:-

Like other topical corticosteroids, triamcinolone acetonide has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of topical steroids, in general, is unclear. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2.

The most prevalent adverse reactions considered are rhinitis, headache, & pharyngitis. The nasopharyngeal adverse effects included epistaxis, nasal irritation, dry mucous membrane, naso-sinus congestion and sneezing although these are seen as frequently with placebo. As with other nasally inhaled corticosteroids, nasal septal perforation has been reported.

Pharmacology:-

The antiinflammatory actions of corticosteroids are thought to involve lipocortins, phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins which, through inhibition of arachidonic acid, control the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Firstly, however, these glucocorticoids bind to the glucocorticoid receptors which translocate into the nucleus and bind DNA (GRE) and change genetic expression both positively and negatively. The immune system is suppressed by corticosteroids due to a decrease in the function of the lymphatic system, a reduction in immunoglobulin and complement concentrations, the precipitation of lymphocytopenia, and interference with antigen-antibody binding.

Triamcinolone Acetonide is a more potent derivative of Triamcinolone and is approximately 8 times more potent than prednisone. Corticosteroids are very effective in the treatment of allergic diseases in man. When given by intranasal spray, Triamcinolone Acetonide provides relief from allergy-induced watery nasal discharge (rhinorrhea), nasal congestion, postnasal drip, sneezing, and itching of the back of the throat.

Side Effects Oral Gel :-Candoral 2%w/w 15gm tube  (As a Miconazole Nitrate As a Aural Anti-fungal preparations.):-

 

Occasionally nausea and vomiting, diarrhea with long term use and rarely allergic reactions.

Pharmacology:-

Pharmacodynamics: Miconazole possesses an antifungal activity against the common dermatophytes and yeasts as well as an antibacterial activity against certain gram-positive bacilli and cocci. Its activity is based on the inhibition of a demethylation step in the ergosterol biosynthesis. Ergosterol, the end-product of the biosynthetic pathway and the main sterol in yeast and fungi. The disruption in production of ergosterol disrupts the fungal cell membrane, causing holes to appear in it. These holes allow the essential constituents of the fungal cells to leak out and ultimately the fungal cells die.

Pharmacokinetics: The oral bioavailability of Miconazole is low (25-30%) because there is little absorption of Miconazole from the intestinal tract. Miconazole is systemically absorbed after administration as the oral gel. Absorbed Miconazole is bound to plasma proteins (88.2%), primarily to serum albumin and red blood cells (10.6%). The absorbed portion of Miconazole oral gel is largely metabolized; less than 1% of the administered dose is excreted unchanged in the urine. The terminal plasma half-life is 20-25 hours in most patients. The elimination half-life of Miconazole is similar in any renal impaired patient.

Miconazole is a substituted imidazole, is one of the family of azoles useful in treating the superficial candidiasis and of the skin infections dermatophytosis and pityriasis versicolor, acanthameaba, seborrhoic dermatitis. Also active against Aspergillus spp., Cryptococcus neoformans, Pseudalescheria boydii and some gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococci and Streptococci.

Hydrocortisone is a naturally occurring glucocorticoid that’s now prepared synthetically. Its important function is in the skin injury such as inflammation. Also it has antipruritic, antimycotic and vasoconstrictive activity.

Miconazole is imidazole antifungal agents that interfere with ergosterol synthesis and therefore alters the permeability of the cell membrane of sensitive fungi. Thus causes the killing of fungi, when applied to the skin, Hydrocortisone is absorbed into the skin cells. It prevents the release of certain chemicals, which is responsible for inflammation. Thus hydrocortisone reduces inflammation.

Pharmacology:-

There is no generally accepted explanation for the mechanism of action of ocular corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2. Their primary target is the cytosolic glucocorticoid receptor. After binding the receptor the newly formed receptor-ligand complex translocates itself into the cell nucleus, where it binds to many glucocorticoid response elements (GRE) in the promoter region of the target genes. The DNA bound receptor then interacts with basic transcription factors, causing the increase in expression of specific target genes.

Like other aminoglycoside antibiotic drugs, neomycin inhibits bacterial ribosomes by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria and disrupting the translational machinery of bacterial pro

Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations, Ophthalmic Steroid preparations.):-

 

The following side effects rarely may happen with this medicine: seem to get worse instead of better, become red, scaly and itchy.

Pharmacology:-

Polymyxin B sulphate and neomycin sulphate belong to a group of medicines called antibiotics. They kill the germs that can cause ear infections. The anti-infective components in the combination are included to provide action against specific organisms susceptible to them. Neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate together are considered active against the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella-Enterobacter species, Neisseria species, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This product does not provide adequate coverage against Serratia marcescens and streptococci, including Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Hydrocortisone belongs to a group of medicines called steroids. It helps to reduce the swelling and irritation caused by the infection. Hydrocortisone suppress the inflammatory response to a variety of agents and they may delay healing. Since Hydrocortisone may inhibit the body’s defense mechanism against infection, a concomitant antimicrobial drug may be used when this inhibition is considered to be clinically significant in a particular case.

The following most common adverse reactions (<1%) were local skin reactions like drying or flaking of the skin; burning or tingling, erythema; pigmentation changes, application site reactions including signs and symptoms of inflammation.

Pharmacology:-

Acyclovir is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue with inhibitory activity against Herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) in cell culture and in vivo. The inhibitory activity of Acyclovir is highly selective due to its affinity for the enzyme thymidine kinase (TK) encoded by HSV. This viral enzyme converts Acyclovir into Acyclovir monophosphate, a nucleotide analogue. The monophosphate is further converted into diphosphate by cellular guanylate kinase and into triphosphate by a number of cellular enzymes. In cell culture, Acyclovir Triphosphate stops replication of herpes viral DNA. This inhibition is accomplished in 3 ways:

  • Competitive inhibition of viral DNA polymerase
  • Incorporation into and termination of the growing viral DNA chain
  • Inactivation of the viral DNA polymerase

Hydrocortisone is the main glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex. It is used topically for its anti-inflammatory effects which suppress the clinical manifestations of the disease in a wide range of disorders where inflammation is a prominent feature.

Rash, gastrointestinal disturbance, rise in bilirubin and liver-related enzymes, increase in blood urea and creatinine, decrease in hematological indices, headache, neurological reaction, fatigue.

Pharmacology:-

Aciclovir is a synthetic purine derivative. Aciclovir exerts its antiviral effect on Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and Varicella-zoster virus by interfering with DNA synthesis and inhibiting viral replication. In cells infected with herpes virus, the antiviral activity of Aciclovir appears to depend principally on the intracellular conversion of the drug to Aciclovir Triphosphate. Aciclovir is converted to Aciclovir Monophosphate principally via virus coded thymidine kinase; the monophosphate is phosphorylated to the diphosphate via cellular guanylate kinase and then via another cellular enzyme to the triphosphate, which is the pharmacologically active form of the drug. 15-30% of an oral dose of the drug is absorbed from Gl tract. Peak plasma concentrations usually occur within 1.5-2 hours after oral administration. It is widely distributed into body tissues and fluids including the brain, saliva, lungs, liver, muscle, spleen, uterus, vaginal mucosa and secretions, CSF, and herpetic vesicular fluid. Aciclovir is excreted through the kidney by the glomerular filtration & tubular secretion.

Indications Of Ophthalmic Ointment/Eye ointment:-Acyvir 3% 5gm tube (As a Acyclovir As a Ophthalmic Anti-viral Products):-

 

Acyvir is indicated for the treatment of Herpes simplex keratitis.

Side Effects Of Ophthalmic Ointment/Eye ointment:-Acyvir 3% 5gm tube (As a Acyclovir As a Ophthalmic Anti-viral Products):-

 

Very common: Superfi­cial punctate keratopathy. This did not necessitate an early termination of therapy and healed without apparent sequelae. Common: Transient mild stinging of the eye occurring immediately following application, conjunctivitis. Rare: Blepharitis.

Pharmacology:-

Acyclovir is an antiviral agent which is highly active in vitro against Herpes simplex (HSV) types I and II and Varicella zoster viruses, but its toxicity to mammalian cells is low. Acyclovir is phosphorylated to the active compound Acyclovir triphosphate after entry into herpes infected cell. The ­first step in this process requires the presence of the viral-coded thymidine kinase. Acyclovir triphosphate acts as an inhibitor of and substrate for the herpes specifi­ed DNA polymerase preventing further viral DNA synthesis without affecting normal cellular processes.

4. Acyclovir(Topical).

Cream 1:-Virux 5% As a Acyclovir As a Topical Antiviral preparations.

Indications Of Cream :-Virux 5% (As a Acyclovir As a Topical Antiviral preparations):-

Side Effects Of Cream :-Virux 5% (As a Acyclovir As a Topical Antiviral preparations):-

The most common adverse reactions at the site of topical application were dry lips, desquamation, dryness of skin, cracked lips, burning skin, pruritus, flakiness of skin, and stinging on skin; each adverse reaction occurred in less than 1% of patients receiving Virux cream and placebo. Three patients on Virux cream and one patient on placebo discontinued treatment due to an adverse event.

Pharmacology:-

Acyclovir is an antiviral drug active against herpes simplex virus. Acyclovir is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue with cell culture and in vivo inhibitory activity against HSV types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2). The inhibitory activity of acyclovir is highly selective due to its affinity for the enzyme thymidine kinase (TK) encoded by HSV. This viral enzyme converts acyclovir into acyclovir monophosphate, a nucleotide analogue. The monophosphate is further converted into diphosphate by cellular guanylate kinase and into triphosphate by a number of cellular enzymes. In cell culture, acyclovir triphosphate stops replication of herpes viral DNA. This inhibition is accomplished in 3 ways: 1) competitive inhibition of viral DNA polymerase, 2) incorporation into and termination of the growing viral DNA chain, and 3) inactivation of the viral DNA polymerase.

Description:-

1.Clotrimazole(Ear drop).

Ear drop 1:-Clarizol 1% 10ml drop (As a Clotrimazole As a Aural Anti-fungal preparations.)

Indications Of Ear drop :-Clarizol 1% 10ml drop (As a Clotrimazole As a Aural Anti-fungal preparations.):-

 

Clarizol ear drop is indicated for the treatment of fungal infections of the ear.

Side Effects Of Ear drop :-Clarizol 1% 10ml drop (As a Clotrimazole As a Aural Anti-fungal preparations.):-

Clarizol is generally well tolerated after local application but the few side effects have been reported infrequently like erythema, stinging, edema, pruritus and general irritation.

Pharmacology:-

Clotrimazole kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. It works by stopping the production of ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes resulting in increased membrane permeability and leakage of essential constituents of the fungal cells.

2.Docusate Sodium (Ear drop).

Immune system disorders: hypersensitivity/allergic reactions; Skin disorders: contact dermatitis and allergic skin reactions; General disorders: Application site reactions rarely including transient stinging or irritation may occur.

Pharmacology:-

Ear wax which often obstructs the external auditory meatus of the ear contains less than 50% of fatty matter derived from secretions of the sebaceous ceruminous glands. The majority of the wax consists of desquamated epithelium, foreign matter and shed hairs. This non-fatty material forms a matrix holding together the granules of fatty matter to form the ceruminous mass. The addition of oils or solvents binds the mass more firmly together, but aqueous solutions, if they are able to penetrate the matrix, cause a disintegration of the ceruminous mass. Docusate Sodium ear drops, because of their low surface tension and miscibility, rapidly penetrate the dry matrix of the ceruminous mass, reducing the solid ear wax to a semi-solid debris.

3. Clotrimazole (Topical).

Cream 1:-Clarizol 1% 10gm tube (As a Clotrimazole As a Drugs for subcutaneous and mycoses, Topical Antifungal preparations).

Topical soultion2:- Clarizol 1% 20ml bottle (As a Clotrimazole As a Drugs for subcutaneous and mycoses, Topical Antifungal preparations).

Some examples of skin infections included in above points are interdigital mycoses (e.g. athlete’s foot), paronychias (associated with nail mycoses), mycoses in skin folds, Candida vulvitis, Candida balanitis, Pityriasis versicolor, erythrasma.

Side Effects Of Cream :-Clarizol 1% 10gm tube (As a Clotrimazole As a Drugs for subcutaneous and mycoses, Topical Antifungal preparations):-

When applied topically, Clarizol is well tolerated.With external application, systemic effects are not observed. Local irritation or burning sensation may occur in a very few cases but these symptoms are not considered harmful.

Pharmacology:-

Clotrimazole acts primarily by damaging the permeability barrier in the cell membrane of fungi. Clotrimazole causes inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis, an essential constituent of fungal cell membranes. If ergosterol synthesis is either completely or partially inhibited, the cell is no longer able to construct an intact and functional cell membrane. Because ergosterol directly promotes the growth of fungal cells in a hormone‐like fashion, rapid onset of the above events leads to dose-dependent inhibition of fungal growth.

Though decreased ergosterol, due to the inhibition of lanosterol 14-demethylase (also known as CYP51) is accepted to be primarily responsible for the antimycotic properties of clotrimazole, this drug also shows other pharmacological effects. These include the inhibition of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase, depletion of intracellular calcium, and blocking of calcium‐dependent potassium channels and voltage‐dependent calcium channels. The action of clotrimazole on these targets accounts for other effects of this drug that are separate from its antimycotic activities.

Side Effects Of  Vaginal Tablet :-Afun-VT 200mg,As a Clotrimazole (As a Drugs used in Vaginal and Vulval condition, Topical Antifungal preparations):-

 

Since there is practically no Afun VT absorption through the vaginal skin, no systemic effect is expected. The local tolerance of Afun VT vaginal tablet is generally good. Local irritation or burning sensation may occur in a very few cases but these symptoms are not considered harmful.

Pharmacology:-

Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that is used for the treatment of dermal infections caused by various species of pathogenic dermatophytes, yeasts, moulds and bacteroids. Clotrimazole is also active against certain gram-positive bacteria especially Staphylococci and Tricomonas. Like other imidazoles, Clotrimazole alters the permeability of fungal cell walls by interfering with cell wall lipids. At fungi static levels the main effect is inhibition of ergosterol synthesis but at higher concentrations there is an additional mechanism of membrane damage unrelated to sterol synthesis.

Vaginal Tablet 2:-Dermasim-VT 500mg

Side Effects Of Ear Drop :-Audicare (0.3%+1%+0.025%+2%) 10ml drop (As a Ofloxacin+ Clotrimazole+ Beclomethasone+Lidocaine As a Anti-fungal or anti-bacterial ear drops):-

 

The systemic side-effects are not common with this ear drops. The following adverse reactions may be observed when using Audicare: itching, burning, irritation, dryness, earache, headache, vertigo, dizziness, redness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acne form eruptions and hypopigmentation.

Pharmacology:-

It is a combination of an antibacterial, an antifungal, an anti-inflammatory and a topical local anesthetic agent. This ear drop has been specially formulated to maintain the natural environment of the external ear canal.

Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone that has a broad spectrum of activity against otic pathogens without ototoxicity. Hence Ofloxacin is preferred to Aminoglycosides for any application within the middle ear space. Ofloxacin exerts antibacterial activity by inhibiting DNA gyrase of bacteria. Ofloxacin has been shown to be active against the following organisms responsible for otic infections: Gram-positive: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae. Gram-negative: Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Clotrimazole is a synthetic imidazole derivative, which is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that exerts fungicidal activity against fungi responsible for superficial mycotic infections affecting the outer or middle ear including Candida, Microsporum & Trichophyton. Clotrimazole inhibits Cytochrome P-450 synthesis of Ergosterol, which decreases fungal cell wall integrity thus inhibits fungal growth. Clotrimazole also has activity against certain bacteria such as Streptococci and Staphylococci. The antibacterial effect of Clotrimazole is advantageous to treat mixed bacterial-fungal infections.

Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a potent steroid as compared with other topical corticosteroids. Beclomethasone like other topical corticosteroids, has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. It induces phospholipase A2 and sequentially inhibits the release of arachidonic acid, thereby depressing the formation, release, and activity of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and other inflammatory mediators.

Lidocaine Hydrochloride is a topical local anesthetic which helps to reduce pain and stinging in the ear.

4.Gentamycin+ Hydrocortisone Acetate:-

Side Effects Of Ear drop :-Gentabac-HC (0.3%+1%) 10ml drop (As a Gentamycin+ Hydrocortisone Acetate As a Hydrocortisone & Combined preparations, Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations):-

 

Ear discomfort, ear irritation may occur in rare cases. Gentamicin may cause irreversible partial or total deafness when given systemically or when applied topically to open wounds or damaged skin.

Pharmacology:-

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and has a bactericidal action against many Gram-negative and some strains of Gram-positive bacteria. After actively transporting across the bacterial cell membrane, Gentamicin binds to a specific receptor protein on the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, and interferes with an initiation complex between mRNA and the 30S subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis. DNA may be misread, thus producing nonfunctional proteins; polyribosomes are split apart and are unable to synthesize protein. Hydrocortisone depresses formation, release, and activity of endogenous mediators of inflammation as well as modifying immune response.

5.Hydrocortisone+Lidocaine:-

Pharmacology:-

Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid used for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Its anti-inflammatory action is due to the suppression of migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and reversal of increased capillary permeability. It may also be used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical insufficiency.

Lidocaine is an amide type local anesthesia. It stabilises the neuronal membrane and inhibits Na ion movements, which are necessary for conduction of impulses. In the heart, lidocaine reduces depolarisation of the ventricles during diastole and automaticity in the His-Purkinje system. Duration of action potential and effective refractory period are also reduced.

Hydrason is generally well tolerated except in prolonged high doses. It may cause cardiac arrhythmia, esophageal candidiasis, menstrual irregularity, decreased carbohydrate & glucose tolerance, fluid retention, increased appetite, weight gain, euphoria, mood swings, depression, insomnia, acne etc.

Pharmacology:-

Hydrocortisone inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting the enzyme phospholipase A2. Hydrocortisone reduces various vasoactive agents released during inflammation. It also controls the rate of protein synthesis.

7. Hydrocortisone Butyrate:-

Cream 1:-Eczacort 0.1% 30gm tube (As a Hydrocortisone Butyrate As a Topical corticosteroids).

Ointment 2:- Eczacort 0.1% 15,30gm tube (As a Hydrocortisone Butyrate As a Topical corticosteroids).

Indications Of Cream :-Eczacort 0.1% 30gm tube (As a Hydrocortisone Butyrate As a Topical corticosteroids):-

 

Eczacort is a topical corticosteroid indicated for relief of the inflammatory and pruritic
manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses in adults. The topical treatment of mild to moderate
atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients 3 months to 18 years of age.

Side Effects Of Cream :-Eczacort 0.1% 30gm tube (As a Hydrocortisone Butyrate As a Topical corticosteroids):-

 

Stinging, burning, itching, irritation, dryness, or redness at the application site may occur when this
medication is first applied to the skin. These effects should disappear in a few days as body adjusts to the
medication.

Pharmacology:-

Topical corticosteroids share anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties.
Corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively
called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of
inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor,
arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2.

8. Cinchocaine+ Hydrocortisone+ Framycetin +Esculin:-

Ointment 1.Erian (5mg+5mg+10.5mg+10mg)/gm 15gm tube (As a Cinchocaine+ Hydrocortisone+ Framycetin +Esculin As a Compound steroidal preparations, Drugs used in Ano-rectal region).

Side Effects Of Ointment:-Erian (5mg+5mg+10.5mg+10mg)/gm 15gm tube (As a Cinchocaine+ Hydrocortisone+ Framycetin +Esculin As a Compound steroidal preparations, Drugs used in Ano-rectal region):-

 

Long-term continuous treatment with topical corticosteroids should be avoided as far as possible as this may cause atrophic changes in the skin leading to thinning, loss of elasticity, dilatation of superficial blood vessels, telangiectasia and ecchymoses. These changes are particularly likely to occur when occlusive dressings are used. Systemic absorption of topically applied corticosteroids may occur, particularly under the following conditions: when large quantities are used or when application is made to wide areas of the body, or to damaged skin; when potent topical corticosteroids are used, and when the occlusive dressing technique is applied. Depression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis with consequent suppression of the adrenal gland may occur. These effects are most likely to be severe in children. Growth may be retarded and a Cushingoid state may be produced. Benign intracranial hypertension has been rarely reported.

Pharmacology:-

The local anaesthetic Cinchocaine Hydrochloride prevents or relieves the severe pain sometimes encountered in strangulated haemorrhoids, fissures and perianal haematomata, whilst the corticosteroid (Hydrocortisone) acts as a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic agent and by so doing eliminates itching, inflammation and mucous discharge. The broad spectrum antibiotic, Framycetin Sulphate, will eradicate most infections which may already be present or arise in lesions of the anorectal area and Esculin has a skin protective action.

When applied topically, Fusidic Acid is effective against Staphylococci, Streptococci, Corynebacteria, Neisseria and certain Clostridia & Bacteroides. Fusidic Acid is an antimicrobial agent that acts as an inhibitor of protein synthesis in the microorganism. It interferes with translocation step by stabilizing the ribosome-guanosine diphosphate elongation factor G-complex. This prevents binding of aminoacyl t-RNA to the ribosome and thereafter stops transfer of additional amino acids to the growing polypeptide. In humans, Hydrocortisone is the principal naturally occurring glucocorticosteroid. In pharmaceutical dosage, its main action is to reduce the response of the skin to injury (i.e. anti-in ammatory). It also has immuno suppressant & anti-mitotic actions.

The following side effects rarely may happen with this medicine: seem to get worse instead of better, become red, scaly and itchy.

Pharmacology:-

Polymyxin B sulphate and neomycin sulphate belong to a group of medicines called antibiotics. They kill the germs that can cause ear infections. The anti-infective components in the combination are included to provide action against specific organisms susceptible to them. Neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate together are considered active against the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella-Enterobacter species, Neisseria species, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This product does not provide adequate coverage against Serratia marcescens and streptococci, including Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Hydrocortisone belongs to a group of medicines called steroids. It helps to reduce the swelling and irritation caused by the infection. Hydrocortisone suppress the inflammatory response to a variety of agents and they may delay healing. Since Hydrocortisone may inhibit the body’s defense mechanism against infection, a concomitant antimicrobial drug may be used when this inhibition is considered to be clinically significant in a particular case.

Also active against Aspergillus spp., Cryptococcus neoformans, Pseudalescheria boydii and some gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococci and Streptococci.

Hydrocortisone is a naturally occurring glucocorticoid that’s now prepared synthetically. Its important function is in the skin injury such as inflammation. Also it has antipruritic, antimycotic and vasoconstrictive activity.

Miconazole is imidazole antifungal agents that interfere with ergosterol synthesis and therefore alters the permeability of the cell membrane of sensitive fungi. Thus causes the killing of fungi, when applied to the skin, Hydrocortisone is absorbed into the skin cells. It prevents the release of certain chemicals, which is responsible for inflammation. Thus hydrocortisone reduces inflammation.

However all the episodes are transient and resolved without discontinuation of the regimen. Others like dizziness and increase in serum creatinine were similar to those occurring with placebo.

Pharmacology:-

Tobramycin interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits, resulting in a defective bacterial cell membrane.

Other component Or Preparation Of Tobramycin:-

Sub Classes Of Tobramycin:-

Index:-

1.Dexamethasone+Tobramycin.

2. Tobramycin(Ophthalmic).

3.Loteprednol Etabonate+ Tobramycin.

Description:-

1.Dexamethasone+Tobramycin.

Ophthalmic Solution/Eye Drop:-1.Tomycin-D (0.1%+0.3%)5ml drop As a Dexamethasone+Tobramycin As a Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations.

Eye Ointment 2:- Tomycin-D (0.1%+0.3%) 3.5gm tube  As a Dexamethasone+Tobramycin As a Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations.

Indications Of Eye Drop:-Tomycin-D (0.1%+0.3%)5ml drop (As a Dexamethasone+Tobramycin As a Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations):-

 

Tomycin-D is indicated for steroid responsive inflammatory ocular conditions (palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea and anterior segment of the globe) where superficial bacterial ocular infection exists. It is also indicated in chronic anterior uveities and corneal injury from chemical radiation or thermal burns, or penetration of foreign bodies. The use of combination with an anti-infective component is indicated where the risk of superficial ocular infection is high.

Side Effects Of Eye Drop:-Tomycin-D (0.1%+0.3%)5ml drop (As a Dexamethasone+Tobramycin As a Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations):-

The most frequent adverse reactions to topical ocular Tobramycin are hypersensitivity and localized ocular toxicity including lid itching, swelling and conjunctival erythema. This reaction occurs in less than 4% of patients. The reactions due to the steroid component are; elevation of intraocular pressure with possible development of glaucoma, and infrequent optic nerve damage; posterior sub capsular cataract formation; and delayed wound healing.

Pharmacology:-

Like other amino-glycosides, the bactericidal activity of Tobramycin is accomplished by specific inhibition of normal protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria, but at the present time, very little is known about this action. It is thought that inhibition of protein synthesis is due to an action on ribosome that causes bacterial misreading of messenger RNA. The action of Dexamethasone is to inhibit the phospholipase A2, the first step in prostaglandin synthesis. Also Dexamethasone inhibits the chemo-tactic infiltration of neutrophils into the site of inflammation. The result is that its anti-inflammatory activity is 25 times greater and its overall therapeutic effectiveness 8-10 times greater than that of hydrocortisone.

2. Tobramycin(Ophthalmic).

Ophthalmic Solution/Eye Drop:-

1.Torcin (0.3%) 5ml drop (As a Tobramycin As a Ophthalmic antibacterial drugs).

Side Effects  Of Eye Drop:-

Torcin (0.3%) 5ml drop (As a Tobramycin As a Ophthalmic antibacterial drugs):-

 

The most frequent side effect of Torcin ophthalmic solution is localized ocular toxicity, conjunctival erythema, hypersensitivity including lid itching and swelling.

Pharmacology:-

Like other aminoglycosides, the bactericidal activity of Tobramycin is taken up into sensitive bacterial cells by an active transport process. Within the cell Tobramycin bind to the 30s, and to some extent to the 50s subunits of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis and generating errors in the transcription of the genetic code. The manner in which cell death is brought about is imperfectly understood, and other mechanisms may contribute, including effects on membrane permeability.

3.Loteprednol Etabonate+ Tobramycin:-

Ophthalmic solution/Eye drop:-1.Lotepro Plus (0.5%+0.3%) 5ml drop (As a Loteprednol Etabonate+ Tobramycin As a Ophthalmic steroid – antibiotic combined preparations).

The incidence of non-ocular adverse events (headache) also reported.

Pharmacology:-

Loteprednol is a corticosteroid which is thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, which control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid.

Tobramycin is a member of aminoglycoside which shows bactericidal activity by inhibiting protein synthesis of bacteria.

Non-ocular adverse reactions occurred in less than 15% of patients. These include headache, rhinitis and pharyngitis.

Pharmacology:-

Corticosteroids inhibit the inflammatory response to a variety of inciting agents and probably delay or slow healing. They inhibit the edema, fibrin deposition, capillary dilation, leukocyte migration, capillary proliferation, fibroblast proliferation, deposition of collagen and scar formation associated with inflammation. There is no generally accepted explanation for the mechanism of action of ocular corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A 2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2.

2. Loteprednol Etabonate+Gatifloxacin:-

It is also indicated for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery.

Side Effects Of Eye drop :- Lotepro-G (0.5%+0.3%) 5ml drop (As a Loteprednol Etabonate+Gatifloxacin As a Ophthalmic Steroid preparations):-

Adverse reactions have occurred with steroid/anti-infective combination drugs which can be attributed to the steroid component or the anti-infective component, or the combination. Reactions associated with ophthalmic steroids include elevated IOP, which may be associated with infrequent optic nerve damage, visual acuity and field detects, posterior sub capsular cataract formation, delayed wound healing, and secondary ocular infections from pathogens including herpes simplex, and perforation of the globe where there is thinning of cornea or sclera. The most frequently reported adverse effects for gatifloxacin in the overall study population were conjunctival irritation, increased lacrimation, keratitis and papillary conjunctivitis. These events occurred in approximately 5-10% of patients. Other reported reactions occurring in 1-4% of patients were chemosis, conjunctival hemorrhage, dry eye, eye discharge, eye irritation, eye pain, eyelid edema, headache, red eye, reduced visual acuity and taste disturbance. Redness was the most commonly observed adverse event occurring in 6%. Itching, discharge photophobia and blurred vision were seen in less than 2% cases.

Pharmacology:-

Loteprednol (corticosteroids) are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2.

Gatifloxacin is an 8-methoxyfluoroquinolone with a 3-methylpiperazinyl substituent at C7. The antibacterial action of gatifloxacin results from inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase is an essential enzyme that is involved in the replication, transcription, and repair of bacterial DNA. Topoisomerase IV is an enzyme known to play a key role in the partitioning of the chromosomal DNA during bacterial cell division. The mechanism of action of fluoroquinolones including gatifloxacin is different from that of aminoglycoside, macrolide, and tetracycline antibiotics. Therefore, gatifloxacin may be active against pathogens that are resistant to these antibiotics and these antibiotics may be active against pathogens that are resistant to gatifloxacin. Gatifloxacin has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following organisms both microbiologically and clinically.

Aerobic Gram-Positive Bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus mitis group, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Aerobic Gram-Negative Bacteria: Haemophilus influenza.

Description:-

1.Chloramphenicol(Orally):-

Capsule1:-Ramicol 250mg (As a Chloramphenicol As a Macrolides).

Oral suspension 2:- Ramicol 125mg/5ml 60ml Bottle (As a Chloramphenicol As a Macrolides).

Indications Of Capsule:-Ramicol 250mg (As a Chloramphenicol As a Macrolides):-

 

Ramicol is an antibiotic that is clinically useful for, and should be reserved for, serious infections caused by organisms susceptible to its antimicrobial effects when less potentially hazardous therapeutic agents are ineffective or contraindicated. However, Ramicol may be chosen to initiate antibiotic therapy on the clinical impression that one of the conditions below is believed to be present. In vitro sensitivity tests should be performed concurrently so that the drug may be discontinued as soon as possible if less potentially dangerous agents are indicated by such tests. The decision to continue use of Ramicol, rather than another antibiotic when both are suggested by in vitro studies to be effective against a specific pathogen, should be based upon severity of the infection, susceptibility of the pathogen to the various antimicrobial drugs, and the efficacy of the various drugs in the infection

Interaction Of Capsule:-Ramicol 250mg (As a Chloramphenicol As a Macrolides):-

 

Ramicol has been shown to retard the biotransformation of tolbutamide, phenytoin, and dicoumarol in man. Ramicol should be used with caution if administered concomitantly with lincomycin, clindamycin, or erythromycin. In vitro experiments have demonstrated that binding sites for erythromycin, lincomycin, clindamycin and Ramicol overlap and competitive inhibition may occur. Rifampin therapy can reduce Ramicol concentrations.

Pharmacology:-

In vitro, chloramphenicol exerts mainly a bacteriostatic effect on a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram positive bacteria and is active against rickettsiae, the lymphogranuloma-psittacosis group and Vibrio cholerae. It is particularly active against Salmonella typhi and Haemophilus influenzae. The mode of actions is through interference or inhibition of protein synthesis in intact cells and cell-free systems. Antagonism has been demonstrated in vitro between chloramphenicol, erythromycin, clindamycin and lincomycin. Chloramphenicol is rapidly absorbed from the GI tract. Chloramphenicol palmitate is hydrolyzed in the GI tract and is absorbed as free chloramphenicol.

Following oral administration of a single one gram dose of chloramphenicol base to healthy adults, average peak plasma chloramphenicol concentrations of about 11 mcg/ml were attained with 1-3 hours. Cumulative dosing gave a peak of 18 mcg/ml after the fifth dose of one gram, every 6 hours. Mean serum levels were 8-14 mcg/ml over a 48 hour period.

Most of the drug is excreted in the urine. Despite the small proportion of unchanged drug excreted in the urine, the concentration of free chloramphenicol in the urine is relatively high. From 8% to 12% of the antibiotic is excreted as free chloramphenicol. The remainder is excreted as inert metabolites, mainly glucuronate. Small amounts of active drug are found in bile and feces. Chloramphenicol diffuses rapidly, but its distribution is not uniform. Highest concentrations are found in liver and kidney, and lowest concentrations are found in brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Chloramphenicol enters CSF even in the absence of meningeal inflammation, appearing in concentrations about half of those found in the blood.

Pharmacology:-

Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 23S RNA of the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome. It impedes both the assembly of the ribosome and the translation process. The molecular mechanism through which this occurs is thought to be due to clindamycin’s three-dimensional structure, which closely resembles the 3′-ends of L-Pro-Met-tRNA and deacylated-tRNA during the peptide elongation cycle – in acting as a structural analog of these tRNA molecules, clindamycin impairs peptide chain initiation and may stimulate dissociation of peptidyl-tRNA from bacterial ribosomes.

The peroxide bond of benzoyl peroxide is cleaved to form 2 benzoyloxy radicals.1 These radicals interact nonspecifically with bacterial proteins, interfering with their function, and survival of the bacteria. Over time, free radical interactions with bacterial proteins lead to decreased keratin and sebum around follicles. Benzoyl peroxide can also increase the turnover rate of epithelial cells, leading to skin peeling, and breaking down comedones.

Pharmacology:-

Tigecycline, a glycylcycline, inhibits protein translation in bacteria by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocking entry of amino-acyl tRNA molecules into the A site of the ribosome. This prevents incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains. Tigecycline carries a glycylamido moiety attached to the 9-position of minocycline. The substitution pattern is not present in any naturally occurring or semisynthetic tetracycline and imparts certain microbiologic properties to tigecycline. Tigecycline is not affected by the two major tetracycline resistance mechanisms, ribosomal protection and efflux. Accordingly, tigecycline has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens. There has been no cross resistance observed between tigecycline and other antibiotics. Tigecycline is not affected by resistance mechanisms such as beta-lactamases (including extended spectrum beta-lactamases), target site modifications, macrolide efflux pumps or enzyme target changes (e.g. gyrase/topoisomerase). In vitro studies have not demonstrated antagonism between tigecycline and other commonly used antibacterial drugs. In general, tigecycline is considered bacteriostatic.

Pharmacology:-

Linezolid is a synthetic, antibacterial agent belonging to a new class of antibiotics, the oxazolidinones, with in vitro activity against Gram positive aerobic bacteria, some Gram positive anaerobic bacteria and certain Gram negative bacteria. It selectively inhibits bacterial protein synthesis via a mechanism of action different from that of other antibacterial agents. Linezolid binds to the 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and prevents the formation of a functional 70S initiation complex which is an essential component of the bacterial translation process. The results of time-kill studies have shown Linezolid to be bacteriostatic against enterococci and staphylococci. For streptococci, Linezolid was found to be bactericidal for the majority of strains.
