NORIZEC
NORIZEC
-Glimepiride
-an orally available medium-to-long-acting sulfonylurea antidiabetic drug
- indicated to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus; its mode of action is to increase insulin production by the
pancreas
-ike all sulfonylureas, glimepiride acts as an insulin secretagogue.[4] It lowers blood sugar by
stimulating the release of insulin by pancreatic beta cells and by inducing increased activity of
intracellular insulin receptors
Actos
-pioglitazone
selectively stimulates the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma
(PPAR-) and to a lesser extent PPAR-.[14][15] It modulates the transcription of the genes involved in
the control of glucose and lipid metabolism in the muscle, adipose tissue, and the liver. As a result,
pioglitazone reduces insulin resistance in the liver and peripheral tissues, decreases
gluconeogenesis in the liver, and reduces quantity of glucose and glycated hemoglobin in the
bloodstream.
-used to lower blood glucose levels in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2
Crestor
-rosuvastatin
-a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, having a mechanism of action similar to
that of other statins
Trimetazidine
-Trimetazidine inhibits beta-oxidation of fatty acids by blocking long-chain 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase,
which enhances glucose oxidation.[7] In an ischaemic cell, energy obtained during glucose oxidation
requires less oxygen consumption than in the beta-oxidation process. Potentiation of glucose
oxidation optimizes cellular energy processes, thereby maintaining proper energy metabolism during
ischaemia.
Carvedilol
-beta blocker
-
Exforge
-combination of amlodipine and valsartan
-Amlodipine) is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing the muscles of your
heart and blood vessels.
-Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Valsartan keeps blood vessels
from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
Aspirin
-salicylate
-
