ACTIONS AND USES:

Salbutamol is a directly acting sympathomimetic amine with actions similar to those described under isoprenaline Sulfate. Its main action, however, is on the adrenergic receptors in the bronchi and the respiratory tract rather than on the cardiac receptors. For this reason, it induces bronchodilation and inhibits brochospasm in doses which do not produce marked cardiac acceleration. It is used in the treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other bronchopulmonary disorders involving bronchospasm.

ADVERSE EFFECTS:

Palpitation and tachycardia may occur in some patients.

PRECAUTIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS:

It is contraindicated in patients with hypertension, myocardial insufficiency, and hyperthyroidism. The excessive use of sprays containing salbutamol should be avoided as it may lead to fatal results. Salbutamol should not be administered with non-selective beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drugs such as propranolol or exprenolol.

13 years and above: 5-10 mL (1-2 teaspoonfuls)

Promox® (105mL)

INDICATIONS:

For the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms such as respiratory, G.I. and genito-urinary tracts, skin and soft tissue infections.

DESCRIPTION:

Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin a close chemical and a pharmacological relative of ampicillin. The drug is stable in acid and is designed for oral use. The antimicrobial spectrum of amoxicillin is essentially identical to that of ampicillin with the important exception that amoxicillin appears to be less effective than ampicillin for shigellosis. Amoxicillin is more rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract than ampicillin, which is the major difference between the two. Peak concentration in plasma are two to two and one-half times greater for amoxicillin than for ampicillin after oral administration of the same dose. Food does not interfere with absorption, perhaps because of more complete absorption of this congener.

FORMULATION:

Each 5 mL (1 teaspoonful) contains:
Amoxicillin (as trihydrate) …………………….. 250 mg

PRECAUTION:

Amoxicillin is contraindicated in patients known to be sensitive to penicillin and it should be used with caution in patients with known history of allergy to the drug.

UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS:

Gastrointestinal disturbances and rashes may occur. Small accounts of amoxicillin excreted in the milk may provoke allergic reactions in breastfeed infants.

DOSAGE:

CAPSULE:
Adult Dose: One capsule every 6 hours or as prescribed by the physician.
SUSPENSION:
1-2 years: 2.5 mL (1/2 teaspoon)
3-6 years: 5 mL (1 teaspoonful)

Procor® (75mL)

Antibiotics, , , ,

Procor® (75mL)

MECHANISM OF ACTION:

The antimicrobial activity of the combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole resultsfrom its actions or two steps of the enzymatic pathway for the synthesis of tetrahydrofolic acid. Sulfonamide inhibits the incorporation of PABA into folic acid and trimethoprim prevents the reduction of dehydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate. The latter is the form of folate essential for one carbon trasfer reactions. The synergistic interaction between the sulfonamide and trimethoprim is this predictable from their respective mechanism.

INDICATIONS:

Urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, gastro-intestinal tract infections, and other infections suspectible to its components.

FORMULATION:

Each 5 mL (1 teaspoonful) contains:
Sulfamethoxazole ……………………… 200 mg
Trimethoprim …………………………. 40 mg

DOSAGE:

Suspension:
6-12 years: 10 mL (2 teaspoonful)
2-6 years: 5 mL (1 teaspoonful)
Below 2 years: 2.5 mL (1/2 teaspoon). Twice a day or as prescribed by the physician.

PRECAUTION:

In cases with renal impairment, a reduced or more widely spaced dosage is indicated to avoid accumulation in the blood. For such patient measurement of plasma concentration are advisable. Regular blood count are recommended whenever Cotrimoxazole is given to a long period. Nausea, vomiting, glossitis and skin rashes have occasionally been reported and high doses may cause diarrhea in small number of patients treated with Cotrimoxazole.
