Amrokort Injection (Trimiclone) – Amros
Andrex Capsules (Testosterone Undecanoate) – OBS
Androcur 50mg Tablet (Cyproterone Acetate) – Bayer
Androcur is an anti-androgen medicine.
Androgens such as testosterone are natural male sex hormones which are also produced, to a slight extent, in females.
In men, androgens may help cancer cells to grow in some types of prostate cancer. By blocking these hormones, Androcur may slow or stop the growth of cancer. Androcur may also be used in combination with other medicines or following surgical removal of the testes to treat side effects such as “hot flushes” or “sweats” and to prevent any initial worsening of the disease.
Androcur is also used to reduce abnormal sex drive in men.
In women, androgens may increase hair growth, loss of scalp hair and secretion of oil from the sweat glands. By blocking these hormones, Androcur may slow or stop excessive hairiness, loss of scalp hair, acne, oily skin, and dandruff.
Cyproterone acetate inhibits competitively the effect of androgens on androgen-dependent target organs, e.g. it shields the prostate from the effect of androgens originating from the gonads and/or the adrenal cortex. Prostatic carcinoma and its metastases are in general androgen-dependent, Androcur, therefore, exerts a direct antiandrogenic action on the tumour and its metastases.
Cyproterone acetate in addition has a progestogenic action exerting a negative feedback effect centrally on the hypothalamic receptors, so leading to a reduction in gonadotropin release, and hence to diminished production of testicular androgens. Treatment with cyproterone acetate in men results in a reduction of sexual drive and potency and inhibition of gonadal function. These changes are reversible following discontinuation of the therapy.
Androcur 50 contains 50 mg of the active ingredient cyproterone acetate. It also contains the inactive ingredients lactose, corn starch, povidone, magnesium stearate, aerosil.

Generics
Irbesartan
Used For
Hypertension
How it works
Irbesartan : Irbesartan is a potent, orally active, selective angiotensin-II receptor (type AT1) antagonist. It is expected to block all actions of angiotensin-II mediated by the AT1 receptor, regardless of the source or route of synthesis of angiotensin-II. The selective antagonism of the angiotensin-II (AT1) receptors results in increases in plasma renin levels and angiotensin-II levels, and a decrease in plasma aldosterone concentration. Serum potassium levels are not significantly affected by irbesartan alone at the recommended doses. Irbesartan does not inhibit ACE (kininase-II), an enzyme which generates angiotensin-II and also degrades bradykinin into inactive metabolites. Irbesartan does not require metabolic activation for its activity.

Aprovel Tablets Precautions
Precaution
There is an increased risk of severe hypotension and renal insufficiency when patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or stenosis of the artery to a single functioning kidney are treated with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin-II receptor antagonists. While this is not documented with Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide , a similar effect should be anticipated.
Aprovel Tablets Warnings
Warning 1
There is evidence that the concomitant use of ACE-inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers or aliskiren increases the risk of hypotension, hyperkalaemia and decreased renal function (including acute renal failure). Dual blockade of RAAS through the combined use of ACE-inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers or aliskiren is therefore not recommended.
Warning 2
ACE-inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers should not be used concomitantly in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
Warning 3
As for any patient receiving diuretic therapy, periodic determination of serum electrolytes should be performed at appropriate intervals
