Therapeutic Information

Diastop COMPOSITION: Each ml of uniform suspension contains Kaolin Light B. P ………200mg PROPERTIES: Diastop suspension is an orally effective anti-diarrhoea preparation. It contains Kaolin Light as the active ingredient, hence it is an adsorbent which is effective in the symptomatic treatment and control of diarrhoea. INDICATIONS: Diastop Suspension is a pharmaceutical preparation that works by absorbing potential toxins i.e. toxic agents from bacteria or germs that may cause diarrhoea, hence Diastop Suspension is used in arresting mild to moderate diarrhoea of any etiology in patients. PRECAUTIONS: This Suspension contains Kaolin Light BP; do not take any other medications containing Kaolin Light at the same time. The fluid loss caused by diarrhoea may result in a severe dehydration. It is therefore very important that a sufficient amount of liquid be given to replace the fluid loss of the body. Concurrent administration of Diastop suspension with other drugs e.g. Lincomycin, Tetracycline, may reduce the absorption of the drug. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Treatment with Diastop Suspension should be accompanied by plenty of fluid intake and electrolyte replacement, e.g. Oral rehydration fluids, salt and sugar solution, and soft drinks. Food such as vegetable, fruits pepper, fried foods, candy, coffee and alcoholic beverages should be avoided during treatment for diarrhoea as these tend to aggravate the condition. SIGNS OF DANGER IN DIARRHOEA: If too much fluid has been lost by the body due to Diarrhoea, a serious condition may develop. See a Doctor immediately, if any of the following signs or symptoms occur. 1. Decreased Urination             4. Dryness of mouth 2. Dizziness                             5. Increased thirst 3. Light headedness                 6. Wrinkled skin. PRESENTATION : Diastop suspension is available in PE bottles 100ml. Store Diastop Suspension in a cool dry place and out of the reach of Children.

Side Effects: Agranulocytosis, aplastic anaemia, thrombocytopenic purpura and bone marrow depression may occur in long term therapy . Other side effects include renal toxicity, optic neuritis, jaundice, dryness of the mouth, nausea, vomiting diarrhoea, skin rashes, increase growth of Candida albicans or other fungi on the mucous membrane may occur causing stomatitis, sore tongue and rectal or vaginal irritation, and haemolytic anaemia in some patients with a genetic deficiency of glucose – 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity . Large doses on infant may lead to “the grey syndrome characterized by ashen colour of the skin; irregular respiration, perspiration, progressive pallid cyanosis, circulatory collapse and eventually death. Prolonged administration may induce bleeding, either by bone marrow depression or by reduction of intestinal flora which leads to inhibition of vitamin K, hence high prothrombin time. Special Precautions: Avoid long-term treatment (not more than 10 days) and in hepatic renal impairment regular blood cell count should be performed. Chloramphenicol should not be given during active immunization. Drugs interaction: Avoid concomitant use with anticoagulants; antidiabetic agents etc. discontinue the treatment if serum iron level is high, avoid use in newly born babies. Systemic half-life is enhanced by drugs that inhibit liver oxidative enzymes; such rifampicin, paracetamol, phenobarbitone, phenytoin. This is important in cases of poor liver function, mild toxicity to Chloramphenicol and low full blood count Nospamin Homatropine Methyl bromide U.S.P.

It is a bactericidal antibiotic to most gram positive and gram negative urinary tract pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and certain susceptible strains of Klebsiella and Enterobacter species. Nitrofurantoin is concentrated in the urine where the bactericidal concentrations are achieved. Nitrofurantoin can cause false result in urinary glucose determination. Care should be taken in administration for Anaemic patients. Long-term use can lead to electrolyte imbalance. Patients susceptible to peripheral neuropathy should be monitored when on Nitrofurantoin treatment. COMPOSITION: Each Tablet contains Nitrofurantoin B. P. 100mg INDICATIONS: Nitrofurantoin is used in the treatment of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections. It is also used prophylactically. CONTRA INDICATIONS: Nitrofurantoin should be given to patients with impaired renal function and those known to be hypersensitive. It is also contra indicated in Glucose –6 –-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Because of the possibility of haemolytic anaemia due to immature erythrocyte enzyme systems, Nitrofurantoin is contra-indicated in pregnant patients and neonates under one month. ADVERSE EFFECT: • Gastrointestinal side effects are the most common and include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoeal and anorexia. • Neurological adverse effects include headache, drowsiness, and dizziness. • Allergic reaction such as pruritus, skin rashes, urticaria could occur. • Acute or chronic pulmonary reaction, cholestaine jaundice, hepatitis and agranulocytosis are rare. • Transient allopeacia has also been reported. PRECAUTION: Information to Patients Patients should be advised to take Nitrofurantoin to further enhance tolerance and improve drug absorption. Urine may be coloured yellow or brown. DRUG INTERACTION: Antacid containing magnesium trisilicate, when administered concomitantly with Nitofurantoin reduces both the rate and extent of absorption. Uricoscuric drugs such as proenecid and sulfinpyrazone can inhibit renal tubular secretion of Nitrofurantoin. The resulting increase in Nitrofuratoin serum level may increase toxicity and the decreased urinary levels could lessen its efficacy as a urinary tract antibacterial. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Nitrofurantoin is given orally. ADULTS: • Therapeutic dose: 50 – 100mg taken four times daily during or immediately after meals and at bedtime with food or milk. The treatment is continued for 14 days. • Prophylactic dose: 50 – 100mg taken at bedtime. • Children and infants over three months. • Therapeutic dose 3mg/ kg body weight/ day in four divided doses for 7 days. • Prophylactic treatment should be initiated with a lot of caution.

Aluminium Hydroxide B.P (Dry Gel) Simethicone B.P 645mg 538mg 32mg Suspension Each (5ml) teaspoon contain:Magnessium Hydroxide B.P Aluminium HydroxideB.P (Dry Gel) Simethicone B.P 200mg 225mg 50mg Mode of Action: Hyperacidity symptoms and peptic ulcer occur when the stomach secretes more Hydrochloric acid (HCI) then what the mucosa of stomach or duodenum can withstand. In situation like this, Stopacid® can often relieve symptoms effectively. Aluminium and Magnesium – contained in antacids such as Stopacid® are not soluble in water, therefore are not absorbed to any large extent and as a result do not cause alkalosis due to systemic absorption. Because of their insolubility in water, Stopacid® is long acting if retained in the stomach. In Stopacid® the constipating effect of Aluminium contained in antacids is being neutralized by the laxative effect of magnesium thus producing a normal bowel function. Simethicone lowers surface tension of bubbles of gas in the stomach by causing them to coalesce aiding their dispersion therefore making Stopacid® to also relieve flatulence. Indications Stopacid® is indicated in the symptomatic relief of hyperacidity associated with peptic ulcer, gastritis, reflux oesophagitis, heartburn and flatulence.
