Nimotop ( Nimodipine ) ( Bayer )
Nimodipine is used to treat symptoms resulting from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage). It works by increasing the blood flow to injured brain tissue. This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription Nimodipine is used to decrease problems due to a certain type of bleeding in the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage-SAH).Nimodipine is called a calcium channel blocker. The body naturally responds to bleeding by narrowing the blood vessel to slow blood flow. However, when the bleeding is in the brain, stopping blood flow causes more brain damage. Nimodipine is thought to work by relaxing narrowed blood vessels in the brain near the area of bleeding so blood can flow more easily. This effect reduces brain damage.

This medication is started as soon as possible after the start of bleeding in the brain, usually within 4 days. Nimodipine is taken as directed by your doctor, usually every 4 hours, 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

Nitromint 2.6 Retard Tablet (Nitroglycerin) – EGIS
Indications of Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg
Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg sublingual tablet is indicated for the acute relief of an attack or acute prophylaxis of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease
Theropeutic Class
Nitrates: Coronary vasodilators
Pharmacology
Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg forms free radical nitric oxide (NO) which activates guanylate cyclase, resulting in an increase of guanosine 3'5' monophosphate in smooth muscle and other tissues. These events lead to dephosphorylation of myosin light chains, which regulate the contractile state in smooth muscle and result in vasodilatation.
Dosage & Administration of Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg
One sublingual tablet should be dissolved under the tongue at the first sign of an acute anginal attack. The dose may be repeated approximately every five minutes, until relief is obtained. If the pain persists after a total of 3 tablets in a 15-minute period, prompt medical attention is recommended.
Interaction of Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg
Patients receiving antihypertensive drugs, beta-adrenergic blockers or phenothiazines and nitrates should be observed for possible additive hypotensive effects. Marked orthostatic hypotension has been reported when calcium channel blockers and organic nitrates were used concomitantly. Concomitant use of nitrates and alcohol may cause hypotension. The vasodilatory and hemodynamic effects of Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg may be enhanced by concomitant administration of aspirin. Patients receiving sublingual Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg should avoid ergotamine and related drugs or be monitored for symptoms of ergotism if this is not possible.
Contraindications
Sublingual Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg therapy is contraindicated in patients with early myocardial infarction, severe anemia, increased intracranial pressure and those with a known hypersensitivity to Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg. Administration of Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg is contraindicated in patients who are using sildenafil citrate since sildenafil citrate has been shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of organic nitrates.
Side Effects of Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg
Headache which may be severe and persistent may occur immediately after use. Vertigo, dizziness, weakness, palpitation and other manifestations of postural hypotension may develop occasionally.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. It is not known whether Nitromint Retard 2.6 mg is excreted in human milk.
Precautions & Warnings
Only the smallest dose required for effective control of the acute anginal attack should be used. Excessive use may lead to the development of tolerance. This drug should be used with caution in patients who may be volume-depleted or are alredy hypotensive.
Storage Conditions
Store in a cool and dry place away from light and heat. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.

Ocuflur Eye Drops 5ml (Fluoromethalone) – sante (private) limited
Used For
Eye Inflammation
How it works
There is no generally accepted explanation for the mechanism of action of ocular corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by inducing phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. These proteins are believed to control the biosynthesis of inflammatory mediators 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.
Usage And Safety

The recommended dose is 1 or 2 drops of FML in each affected eye 2 to 4 times daily, or more frequently if advised by your doctor. During the first 24–48 hours of treatment, your doctor may recommend 2 drops at hourly intervals.
