Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets)

Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets) is a combination of lamivudine and zidovudine, which belong to the nucleoside analog class of antiretroviral drugs. Each tablet of Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets) contains half of the commonly prescribed daily doses of both lamivudine and zidovudine. With the availability of this combination tablet, patients may be better able to adhere to complex drug treatment regimens, thereby enhancing compliance.

What is Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets) used for?

Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets) are prescribed to treat HIV infection in patients with or without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV directly affects the immune system by impairing the specific immune cells (CD4) that counter infection, so the risk of life-threatening infection increases. Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets) medicine can prevent or slow down the ability of HIV to replicate, lowering the capacity of the virus. This medication functions to increase the number of CD4 cells, providing good strength to the immune system and defying the risk of disease.

How does Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets) work?

Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets) contain a combination of two antiretroviral drugs lamivudine and zidovudine, which both belong to class of drugs known as nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) that are only effective against retroviruses (RNA virus) like HIV. A nucleoside is a building block of DNA that is needed by the virus to replicate, and nucleoside analogues, like lamivudine and zidovudine in Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets), become incorporated into the DNA that is copied from the virus RNA by an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. This blocks the action of reverse transcriptase and terminates the viral DNA chain so that it cannot become integrated into the DNA of the infected immune cell, which means that no more HIV can be produced. Lamivudine is highly synergistic with zidovudine, which means that it increases the effectiveness of zidovudine so that the combination of these two antiretroviral drugs in Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets) slow down the replication of HIV within your body but cannot prevent the spread of the infection to others.

Duovir (Lamivudine 150mg and Zidovudine 300mg Tablets) Dosage and Administration

What is Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules)?

Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) containing the active ingredient dutasteride belongs to a class of medications called 5 alpha reductase inhibitors. The medication works by preventing the conversion of the hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate. It can be used alone or with other medications to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) such as acute urinary retention, a weak stream and the need to urinate frequently or urgently. It may also decrease the risk of needing prostate surgery in the future.

Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) Uses

Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) is used as a hair loss treatment for conditions such as male pattern baldness, also known as alopecia, as well as a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). It is manufactured by Cipla Pharmaceuticals. The main ingredient inhibits DHT. Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) shrinks the enlarged prostate over time and brings relief from the symptoms commonly associated with BPH.

Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules)  work?

Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) contain dutasteride that specifically inhibits the action of both forms (type I and type II) of the enzyme 5α-reductase, that convert the male hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the skin and the liver.  DHT is the androgen primarily responsible for development and growth of the prostate gland.  DHT also causes benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) which is when the prostate becomes enlarged.  Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) reduce the levels of DHT in the blood, so that prostate growth is no longer stimulated in men with BPH allowing the enlarged prostate to shrink. DHT, which is also found in hair follicles, is the androgen responsible for hair loss, as it causes hair follicles in the scalp to gradually shrink producing smaller and thinner hairs, which eventually do not emerge from the follicle.  Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) reverses the balding process as it blocks the build up of DHT in the hair follicles of the scalp, allowing the hair to grow normally.

Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) Side effects

Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) side effects include impotence (trouble getting or keeping an erection), a decrease in libido (sex drive), breast enlargement and tenderness (gynecomastia), a decrease in the amount of semen released during sex. These side effects usually decrease or disappear with continued usage, or stopping the medication altogether.

Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) Precautions

Do not stop taking Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) without first talking to your physician. While some men have fewer problems and symptoms after 3 months of treatment with Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules), a treatment period of at least 6 months is usually necessary to see if treatment with Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) will be beneficial.

Women who are or who may become pregnant must not handle Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules). The medication can be absorbed through the skin and may cause birth defects in the unborn baby. Do not donate blood until at least 6 months have passed since the last dose of Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) is taken to prevent pregnant women from receiving Duprost (Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsules) through blood transfusion.

• have reduced activity/deficiency of the enzyme DPD (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase).

Sunlight may increase the effects of Efudix. This may result in increased skin reactions. To prevent this you must try to stay out of direct sunlight as much as possible while using the cream and must not use a sunlamp or sun bed.

• Exposure to UV-radiation (e.g) natural sunlight, tanning salon) should be avoided.

• Closing bandages or dressing may increase inflammatory reactions of the skin.

Using other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. This is very important, as using more than one medicine at the same time can strengthen or weaken the effect of the medicines involved.

In particular, tell your doctor if you are using:

• medicines to treat chickenpox or shingles (brivudine, sorivudine) or have used them in the last 4 weeks. These medicines may increase the possibility of unwanted effects with Efudix Cream.
• Pregnancy and breast-feeding

Do not use Efudix Cream and tell your doctor if you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant or you are breast-feeding.

• Driving and using machines
• It is unlikely that the treatment will have any effect on your ability to drive or use machines.
• Important information about some of the ingredients of Efudix Cream

Efudix Cream contains some ingredients that can cause side effects. These are:

    stearyl alcohol and propylene glycol, which can cause local skin irritations (e.g. contact dermatitis, which is an inflammation of the skin).

Erectalis Tablets

The effect of Erectalis Tablets, the main active ingredient of Erectalis, is aimed at enhancing the generation of nitric oxide and slowing down the PDE-5 enzyme in the body. Nitric oxide lowers the tone of blood vessels. They relax during sexual arousal and are tightly filled with blood, contributing to a firm, powerful erection. All of this occurs after natural sexual arousal and is perfectly controlled (the risk of uncontrolled erections is estimated at zero). In addition, the production of the enzyme phosphodiesterase of fifth type is retained, which has the opposite effect of nitric oxide – it increases the vascular tone, forcing the blood out and bringing the penis back to a non-erected state. The result of such delay is an erection and, respectively, prolongation of a sexual intercourse.

Erectalis tablets are recommended to be taken in the following cases:

• If for some reason you cannot achieve an erection at all, or cannot achieve it to a sufficient extent to ensure a full sexual intercourse;
• If you plan a date, which will require a lot of emotional stress (even if it is positive);
• If you want to be in a great sexual shape and always be fully alerted regardless of the circumstances;
• If the age does not allow you to achieve the desired control and feelings; sexual activity is significantly decreased.

How to take Erectalis 20mg

Erectalis 20 mg pills are swallowed and washed down with water. Note that the maximum dose of the active ingredient for 36 hours is 20 mg, which equals to one pill. Therefore, if you are looking for a mild effect, Erectalis Tablets dosage can be decreased - the pill can be halved or quartered.

Moreover, the drug is quite capable of receiving tiny amounts of alcohol and low-fat food. That is, if your plans include meal before having sex, Erectalis 20 mg can be the right choice, as you won’t have to refuse from pleasure. It should be noted that you will experience more orgasms than usual when taking the drug, largely due to reduced recovery time between sexual acts.

Another remarkable feature of the drug is the fact that it begins to act within as little as 20-30 minutes. Nevertheless, you can take a pill a couple of hours before anticipated sex if you feel that a sexual intercourse may start at any moment.

Make use of Erectalis only after studying the instructions to the drug or a professional consultation. It is necessary to take into account contraindications, and some of them are mentioned below:

• The medication is not designed to be used by women and individuals under 18;
• Erectalis should be taken with caution in men older than 65;

What is Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet)?

Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet) containing the active ingredient lamivudine is considered a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) type of medication. The medication can help decrease the amount of the HIV cells from multiplying in the body to allow the immune system to work better. The tablets should be taken with other medication to lower the chance of getting HIV complications such as AIDS, serious infections or cancer. It can be used to help treat HIV but cannot be used to cure the condition.

Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet) Uses

Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet) is indicated for use in conjunction with other antiretroviral medicines to treat HIV-1 infections. It works by stopping the virus from spreading and destroying CD4 helper cells. This medicine is classified as a nucleoside analog and its mechanism of action involves blocking the action of the viral RT (reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that the virus needs to replicate), and this results in the termination of the viral DNA chain. The HIV virus can develop a resistance to drugs, and a particular type of mutation of which occurs in the reverse transcriptase gene (called the M184V mutation) may occur if this medicine is used on its own. Resistance can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine, and to combat this, your physician will also advice concomitant treatment with other medicines to ensure that the infection is kept under control.

How does Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet) work?

Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet) contain lamivudine, which is a nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) that is only effective against retroviruses (RNA virus) like HIV. Lamivudine in Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet) 150mg works by inhibiting the action of the viral-specific enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT), which is needed for the virus to be able to replicate. Retroviruses convert RNA to DNA, which is then integrated into the DNA of infected immune cells so that the virus can replicate. A nucleoside is a building block of DNA that is needed by the virus to replicate, and nucleoside analogues, like lamivudine (analogue of cytidine) in Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet), become incorporated into the DNA that is copied from the viral RNA by an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. This blocks the action of reverse transcriptase and terminates the viral DNA chain so that it cannot become integrated into the DNA of the infected immune cell, which means that no more HIV can be produced. Lamivudine in Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet) has been shown to act additively or synergistically with other anti-HIV agents particularly zidovudine, which means that that it increases the effectiveness of the other drug. Lamivir (Lamivudine 150mg Tablet) helps slow down the replication of HIV within your body but does not kill the virus already incorporated in the CD4+ cells or prevent the spread of the infection to others.
