Lasix 40mg Tab. ( Furosemide ) SANOFI
Furosemide is a medicine used to reduce excessive fluid retention (edema) in the body. It belongs to the class of Diuretics; also known as water pill. It works by increasing the excretion of excess salt and water, producing more urine and lowering blood pressure. Hypertension is a common disease in which the blood pressure in arteries is so high that your heart has to work more than normal. Continuous high blood pressure will eventually cause serious health problems like heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure. Furosemide is beneficial for both adults and children to reduce edema due to various health conditions.

Lasix Injection 20mg 50 x 2ml ampoules (Furosemide) – Sanofi
Heart Failure
How it works
It has been demonstrated that Furosemide inhibits primarily the absorption of sodium and chloride not only in the proximal and distal tubules but also in the loop of Henle. The high degree of efficacy is largely due to the unique site of action. The action on the distal tubule is independent of any inhibitory effect on carbonic anhydrase and aldosterone.

Lumigan Eye Drop ( Bimatoprost ) Allergan
Bimatoprost is used to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma (open-angle type) or other eye diseases (such as ocular hypertension). Lowering high pressure inside the eye can help prevent blindness. This medication works by regulating the flow of fluid within the eye to maintain a normal pressure.
How to use Lumigan Drops
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using bimatoprost and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Use this medication in the affected eye(s) as directed by your doctor, usually once a day in the evening. Do not use bimatoprost more often because it will not work as well.
To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
If you are wearing contact lenses, remove them before using your eye drops. Wait at least 15 minutes after each dose before putting your lenses back in.
Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place one drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed.
Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use, and keep the cap tightly closed.
If you are using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.
Wait several minutes for your vision to clear before driving or operating machinery.

Mabil 500 Mcg ( Mecobalamin ) SAMI
Mabil tablet has mecobalamin as active ingredient. Mecobalamin is a form of vitamin b12 that is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system and the production of red blood cells. It is a water-soluble vitamin that is involved in various metabolic processes in the body, including the synthesis of dna and the breakdown of fatty acids and amino acids. Mecobalamin is also important for maintaining normal cognitive function and for the development of the brain and nervous system in infants and young children.
Mecobalamin is commonly used as a dietary supplement to treat or prevent vitamin b12 deficiency, which can occur due to a variety of factors such as poor dietary intake, malabsorption, or certain medical conditions. Mecobalamin is also used as a treatment for various neurological conditions, such as peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, bell's palsy.
Uses of mabil tablet
Some uses of mabil tablet are,
Treatment of vitamin b12 deficiency: mecobalamin tablets are often prescribed to treat or prevent vitamin b12 deficiency, which can occur due to poor dietary intake, malabsorption, or certain medical conditions. Vitamin b12 is important for the production of red blood cells and for the proper functioning of the nervous system.
Management of neurological conditions: mecobalamin tablets may also be used to manage various neurological conditions, such as peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and bell's palsy. These conditions can cause numbness, tingling, and pain in the limbs, as well as muscle weakness and difficulty walking.
Cognitive support: mecobalamin tablets may be used to support cognitive function and memory. Some studies suggest that vitamin b12 deficiency may be associated with cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia.
Boosting energy levels: mecobalamin tablets may help to boost energy levels and reduce fatigue, especially in individuals with vitamin b12 deficiency.
Drug interactions
Some common drug interactions of mecobalamin include:
Chloramphenicol: chloramphenicol can decrease the absorption of vitamin b12 in the body, which may reduce the effectiveness of mecobalamin.
Metformin: long-term use of metformin may lead to vitamin b12 deficiency, which can be worsened by mecobalamin.
Proton pump inhibitors (ppis): ppis may reduce the absorption of vitamin b12, which can decrease the effectiveness of mecobalamin.
Colchicine: colchicine can interfere with the absorption of vitamin b12, which can decrease the effectiveness of mecobalamin.
Antibiotics: certain antibiotics, such as tetracyclines and aminoglycosides, can interfere with the absorption of vitamin b12, which can decrease the effectiveness of mecobalamin.
Disease interactions
Leber's disease: mecobalamin may worsen symptoms of leber's disease, a genetic condition that affects the optic nerve and can cause vision loss.
Polycythemia vera: mecobalamin may increase the production of red blood cells, which can worsen the symptoms of polycythemia vera, a condition in which the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells.
Hypokalemia: mecobalamin may cause hypokalemia, a condition in which the blood potassium level is too low. Hypokalemia can lead to muscle weakness, cramps, and heart rhythm abnormalities.
Renal failure: mecobalamin may accumulate in the body in patients with renal failure, which can increase the risk of side effects.
Gastrointestinal disorders: patients with gastrointestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and atrophic gastritis may have difficulty absorbing vitamin b12, which can lead to deficiency and may require higher doses of mecobalamin.
Food interactions
There are no known food interactions with mecobalamin, which is a form of vitamin b12. Mecobalamin is commonly found in foods such as meat, fish, and dairy products, and can also be taken as a dietary supplement.
However, certain dietary factors can affect the absorption of vitamin b12 in the body. For example, a diet low in animal products may lead to vitamin b12 deficiency, and high doses of vitamin c can interfere with the absorption of vitamin b12. Additionally, consumption of alcohol may interfere with the absorption of vitamin b12 in the body.
