Indicated medicines

Active Ingredient Description
Clonazepam

Clonazepam exhibits pharmacological properties which are common to benzodiazepines and include anticonvulsive, sedative, muscle relaxing and anxiolytic effects. Animal data and electroencephalographic investigations in man have shown that clonazepam rapidly suppresses many types of paroxysmal activity including the spike and wave discharge in absence seizures (petit mal), slow spike wave, generalised spike wave, spikes with temporal or other locations as well as irregular spikes and waves.

Dihydralazine

Dihydralazine is a member of phthalazines.

Labetalol

Labetalol lowers the blood pressure by blocking peripheral arteriolar alphaadrenoceptors thus reducing peripheral resistance, and by concurrent betablockade, protects the heart from reflex sympathetic drive that would otherwise occur.

Magnesium pidolate

A cyclized derivative of L-glutamic acid. Elevated blood levels may be associated with problems of glutamine or glutathione metabolism.

Magnesium sulfate

Magnesium sulfate is a saline purgative. It can be employed locally in various inflammatory conditions, due to its osmotic action.

Midazolam

Midazolam is a derivative of the imidazobenzodiazepine group. The free base is a lipophilic substance with low solubility in water. The basic nitrogen in position 2 of the imidazobenzodiazepine ring system enables the active ingredient of midazolam to form water-soluble salts with acids.
