Medicines List

Description

Cardifriend-Co is a combination of two medicines – ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide.

Ramipril belongs to a group of medicines called “ACE inhibitors” (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors).
It works by:
– decreasing body production of substances that raise blood pressure;
– making blood vessels relax and widen;
– making it easier for your heart to pump blood around the body.

Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called “thiazide diuretics” or water tablets. It works by increasing the amount of water (urine) the body produces. This lowers blood pressure.

Indications

Cardifriend-Co is indicated for treatment of hypertension. This fixed dose combination is indicated in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with ramipril alone or hydrochlorothiazide alone.

Subject to medical prescription.

Concentration and pharmaceutical form: 5 mg/12.5 mg tablets

Description

The active ingredient in LanzAcid is lansoprazole. It belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors.
LanzAcid works by lowering the amount of acid in your stomach.

Indications

LanzAcid is used for:
– Healing ulcers in your stomach or duodenum (gut);
– Healing and preventing ulcers caused by medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). This includes medicines like aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen and piroxicam;
– Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD). This happens when acid from your stomach escapes into your food pipe (oesophagus) causing damage and inflammation;
Lansoprazole can relieve symptoms that can happen with the above conditions and stop them from coming back;
– The pain of indigestion or heartburn caused by too much acid (acid-related dyspepsia) in your stomach;
– Illnesses, such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, where the stomach makes large amounts of acid. This can lead to diarrhoea and pain in the stomach;
– Infections caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori when lansoprazole is given in combination with antibiotic therapy.

Subject to medical prescription.
