NEWS LETTER No.14
May, 1987
CORTICOSTEROIDS IN TOPICAL USE
Dear Partner/
One of the most commonly misused drugs is the magic drug - the
corticosteroids. As many of the skin diseases respond to them,
there is a constant temptation to prescribe them orally or topi
cally even without proper diagnosis.
Oral steroid therapy should be avoided in any kind of eczema,
psoriasis and drug rash, unless necessary as a life-saving
measure, incapacistating si-cuaticns or in cases of extreme
steroid dependence.
Steroids are contraindicated in ocular
herpes simplex, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, peptic ulcer,
active cancer, acute viral infection, tuberculosis, etc.
The adverse effects of steroids are wellknown.
Their prolonged
topical use result into some of -the systemic adverse effects
also, since a significant part of it may get absorbed into the
system through the skin.
This part should be paid adequate
attention especially in children.
Points to remember
1.
Corticosteroids are not curative for any skin disease.
2.
Steroids should not be used in subacute and chronic diseases
without diagnosis. In acute diseases, it may have to be used
as a life-saving measure.
3.
The ill-effects of corticosteroids are directly proportional
to their potency.
4.
Highly and moderately potent topical steroids should not be
used for children and on the face of adults.
Low potency
steroids are good enough.
5.
No corticosteroid should be used for prolonged periods on
the face and flexures.
6.
Steroids mixed with antifungal and antibiotics combinations
should not be used as scapegoats.
They are used only for
proved cases of mixed infections'with dermatitis e.g. in
intertrigo, scrotal dermatitis, pruritus vulvae.
7.
Patients should be warned not to use steroids on their own
and not to continue therapy without doctor's advice.
8.
The latest corticosteroid in the market is not necessarily
the best.
Topical use of Cartico Steroids
Three types of topical preparations are available.
Such as
Lotions, Cream and Ointments depending on their chemical nature
and concentration.
They have a specific indications for use as
shown below s
1
2
Varieties of Topical steroids &
their indications.
Lotions (Solutions)
-
for moist lesions and hairy regions.
Cream (oil in water or water in oil-washable bases) - for
achieving greater percutaneous absorption/ indicated in subacute
erythematous scaly conditions.
Ointment (greasy base) - lesser and prolonged percutaneous absor
ption, surface action, indicated in very dry lichenified conditions.
It is important to keep in mind the type and extent of the lesions
and also the desired period of treatment. Their use in most cases
should be avoided.
They are generally very expensive also. Their
use may be stopped if no change is observed within a period of one
week of application. Highly potent steroids should never be given
to children.
Flucinolone acetonide (0.1%), Halcinornide (0.1%), Bedomethasone
dispropionate (0.5%), Betamethasone Vaiera-te (0.12), Triam cinolone
acetonide (0.1%), are some of the highly potent topical steroid
preparations. Hydro cortisone base acetate (1.25%) & Methyl
prednisolone (0.(25%)
are the less potent ones.
It is adviseable
to use less potent drugs generally unless absolutely indicated.
A
Combination in Topical Therapy
Topical steroids are combined with antiseptics like cetrimide or
hydroxyquinolines, antibiotics like neomycin, framycetin,
bacitracin, polymyxin, tetracycline and gentamicin, antifungals
like clotrimazole, miconazole and salisylic acid - benzoic acid
as ointments are available. In general, the use of combination
drugs should be avoided. In cases of suspected or proved infect
ion, antibiotics or antifungal agents may be used separately.
Stability of antibiotics in the combined preparations is a
debatable question.
New Drug Policy
Govt, of India has recently announced tine new drug policy, which
is mainly declaring its policy regarding the prices of drugs.
The drugs will be divided in 3 categories - one - allowing a
profit margin of 75% on -the manufacturing price, second - allow
ing 100% profit margin and the rest will have no price control.
™
The category I drugs include the drugs necessary for national
health programmes. A Committee has been set up to list the
category II drugs.
This Committee has invited various profe
ssional bodies and consumer groups in selected cities. One such
hearing also took place in Baroda.
Dr. Sagun Desai represented Baroda Medical Union and gave his
recommendations. He mainly estressed the need to include all
tire essential drugs in Category - I and II drug lists. Also he
handed over a list of essential drugs prepared by LOCOST (based
on the ■•J.H.o. guidelines) for the various levels of health care,
to the committee and emphasised the importance of availability
of essential drugs in adequate quantities, by generic names and
with proper quality control measures, as well as removal of
irrational and harmful drugs from the market.
Graded Essential Drug List s
LOCOST has prepared a list of drugs which may be recommended for
use at the primary, secondary and tertiany level health care
‘'(j. .'
3
institutions.
These lists with an update of the world situation
in this regard will be published by LOCOST in the coming month.
All of you interested in having the booklet may please contact me,
The Gujarati Magazine
Most of you in Gujarat would have received the first issue of
our Gujarati Magazine "Aapanu Swasthya" by this time. Please
send your responses, suggestions, criticisms, questions etc.
regarding the magazine.
The magazine,it is hoped, will be read
by any literate person and understood by an illiterate person
if read before him/her.
The health workers, teachers, children
in school, doctors, mothers, etc. are some of its readers.
We invite you to participate in this venture by seeing that your
copy is read by at least five such persons. Also, please help
us by generating live situations in the form of letters, articles
short write ups, stories, songs, etc., related to drugs and
health issues.
Help to Goncshastha Kendra (G.K.)
of Bangladesh
G.K. has been doing a lot of pioneering work in Bangladesh by
helping the Govt. to implement the radical drug policy and
other developmental activities. One of their projects is to
establish industries for the manufacture of basic drugs such
as ampicilin, paracetamol, co-trimoxaz'ol, etc. by importing
technology from various countries.
The ampicilin project is
in pipeline and a considerable work is done. LOCOST is helping
-them by playing the facilitators’ role in the process, by acting
as their representative in India.
Some changes in LOCOST staff ?
Rajesh Parekh has left LOCOST. Jayesh has taken up part of his
work like billing and despatching etc. Krishna has joined
LOCOST and is at present looking after the drug supply and
manufacture. He is also now our supervisory Chemist for all
our loan licence products.
With best wishes,

Based on the Essential Drug List of World Health Organisation
and also learning from other experiences/ the present lists of drugs
required at Primary, Secondary and Tertiary health organisations
have been prepared.
Initially the lists were worked out to indicate
priority for manufacture/availability of the drugs at any health
organisation.
But later on it was felt that the scope be widened
to facilitate a debate on rationality of usage of the drugs.
Certain modifications are made accordingly.
The first draft of
the lists was circulated in December, 1986.
In the subsequent
meetings of the Rational Therapy Cell of Locost after much deli
berations, the present lists have been prepared. They are typed
and retyped again and again and somewhat final draft has been put
in your hands.
We request you to go through them, apply in practice and partici
pate in the process of working out the ideal lists of rational
drugs in various health institutions.

2.
It is possible that it may be necessary to use the drugs
outside this list in individual patients. A proper record of
such cases may be kept.
It should contain the detailed history,
reasons why the present drugs cannot take care of the condition
and what is the additional advantage of the other drug being'
chosenSuch a record will help in the improvisation of the list
after proper review.
APPLICABILITY OF THE LIST
1.
You may be a general practitioner or at a village level
dispensary or in a hospital.
These lists will give you a reference
guide to examine the utility of the many drugs being stored or
used at your institution.
2.
Some institutions are faced with a situation where donors
supply a big chunk of drugs, and the physician in charge is under
pressure to use them even if he/she thinks such drugs as
unnecessary. These lists can be used to act as a reference for
both the donors and the administrators.
3.
A LARGE NUMBER OF DOCTORS BELIEVE THAT THE LIMITED DRUG
LIST WILL HARM THE PATIENTS' BEST INTERESTS.
THESE LISTS CAN BE
A STARTING POINT FOR CONCRETE EXPERIMENTATION IN THIS REGARD. A
FEW CATEGORIES OF DRUGS CAN BE SELECTED AND AN ATTEMPT BE MADE
IO PRESCRIBE THE DRUGS IN THESE CATEGORIES FROM THIS LIST. THE
EXPERIENCES MAY BE RECORDED SYSTEMATICALLY AND OVER A PERIOD OF
TIME - SAY ONE YEAR - A REVIEW CAN BE DONE WITH THE TEACHERS IN
PHARMACOLOGY, COMMUNITY PHYSICIANS AND EXPERTS IN VARIOUS
DISCIPLINE. THE RESULTS OF SUCH A REVIEW BE GIVEN WIDE PUBLICITY
TO START HEALTH AND DRUG ACTION BY SO MANY CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS
AND INSTITUTIONS.
4.
The Govt, and a large number of public & private sector
companies are giving health benefits to their employees. This
list can serve as a guiding list to them and will help them
to formulate their rational drug policy and other health benefits.

THE NEWER N3AIDS
-
’83
SELECTION
Dear Partner,
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (N3AIDS) are highly
effective in relieving the symptoms of arthritis, but recently
their benefits - risks are being reappraised continuously.
Concern
is greater because the elderly persons receive them more frequently
and for longer duration. They are also at greater risk/developing/of
ether diseases like damage to gastrointestinal mucosa, and impaired
renal function which may precipitate because of continuous intake
of these drugs.
A recent study of the non-Aspirin NSAIDS published by the
Drugs and Therapeutic Bulletin,
Volume 25, No. 21 has reported
the incidence of their serious side effects (in U.K) as follows :

The important criteria for selection of NSAlDs would be
comparative efficacy, safety and cost. No data on comparative
efficacy can be available.
So data on camparative safety and cost
becomes the deciding factor
The above study although not very
accurate (because of difference in reporting rates of adverse
reactions during seventies and eighties) gives a fairly reliable
clue to their selection.
It may be worthwhile recollecting here that WHO has selected
ibuprofen group of drugs and indomethacin as anti, inflammatory
agents over and above aspirin.
Thus the best choice for NSAlDs other than aspirin and
indomethacin is ibuprofen, ketoprofen and flurbiprofen.
contd.
2
Rules to prescribing NSAIDS :
NSAIDs should not be used for patients with active peptic
ulceration.
They should be avoided in those with a history of
pepetic ulcer, or in elderly patients, unless simple analgesics
have proved ineffective and other forms of treatment have been
carefully considered.
*
When prescribing for a patient who has not responded to
paracetamol or ibuprofen, choose an inexpensive drug with
a long reported incidence of serious adverse reactions.
*
Start at the lowest dose and titrate gradually against
symptom relief; if an alternative is needed, substitute
(do not add) the next preferred drug.
*
Warn the patient not to expect 24 pain-free hours a day.
Explain the. risks, and ask him to report any suspected
adverse effects, e.g. indigestion, wheezing.
*
In patients with cirrhosis, congestive cardiac failure,
renal disease or gout, and in patients taking a diuretic,
it is wise to check renal function and electrolyte balance
after the first few weeks of regular treatment.
Be prepared
for the effect of any concurrent diuretic or antihyper
tensive treatment to be reduced.

PRICE FLUCTUATIONS IN MEDICINES
Due to several Government policy changes over the last 3-4 months
the prices of several drugs have increased.
First consequent to the new Drug Price Control Order 1987 the
prices of several raw materials h'ave increased. As a result, tie
prices of finished goods have also gone up.
Secondly, the Central Govt, in its budget has levied excise duty
of 5% and a surcharge of 5% on all drugs except those in Category I.
This has added to the cost of the basic raw material which has
resulted in ths increase of finished goods price.
From August, the ^ujarat Govt, has increased the Sales Tax on the
raw materials as well as finished goods. The effect of this on
the raw materials will be marginal due to various provisions in
the Sales Tax act but the effect on the finished goods will be
substantial. Medicines earlier attracting 4.8% Sales TaX would
now attract Sales Tax to the extent of 7.5%.
DRUG
SUPPLY
We are very sorry X for the inconvenience caused to all our
partners due to irregular drug supply on our part.
T’hare have been
several reasons for this, some of which are beyond our control.
Raw material availability has been one main reason for non availa
bility of the medicines.
Inspite of concerted efforts on our part
we haven't been able to get some raw material on time inspite of
planning well in advance. This has lead to stock of several
medicines not being available.
Secondly, we have been having certain problems at the manufacturing
end.
^specially since LOCOST gets the medicines manufactured on
loan licence basis (i.e, using facilities of some other manufacture)
we cannot exercise so much control regarding timely delivery of
finished goods at LOCOST.
Thirdly, there are delays in getting the medicines tested.
Generally, the testing should take 10-15 days.
But there are
several instances when reports have not come for 4-5
weeks.
This also leads to substantial delays in delivery of goods.
We on our part are trying to keep you informed.
We -agree there
have been several lapses.
We assure you that in the future we will
keep you better informed regarding the availability of medicines
and the time it will take to despatch them.
Our partners, especially the bulk buyers could help us by letting
us know well in advance their approximate requirements for the
coming 3-6 months.
They .could indicate to us only the approxi
mate requirements. The actual requirements could be conveyed to
us while placing the order.
This will help us in planning and
also reduce instances of stock outs.
3
Partners could also give us their monthwise requirements of
medicines for a 3-6 months period along with a schedule.
LOCOST could despatch the medicines according to the schedule.
This would mean partners needn't keep huge stocks. This would
also mean that payments would be much easier as they would
be spread over a longer period of time.
LOCOST would welcome suggestions and critical comments from
all our partners regarding drug supply.
NSW COMERS AT LOCOST
Sharifa Vijliwala and ^ijay Jani has joined LOCOST to help the
activities.
Sharifa's major responsibility will be coordinate
the school health programme and also help in the 1 manufacture
and supply of drugs.
Vijay will be mainly responsible for
networking with partners.
By the time this letter reaches you,
he would have already met some of our partners.
CHLOROJUINE TABLETS
There is a sever? shortage of Chloroquine raw material.
In fact
it is not available at all.
Due to this we are not able to manu
facture Chloroquine tabs.
We on our part are trying . our best
to procure the raw material but partners are advised to get their
requirements from other
sources, atleast for the present.
As soon as we have stock of Chloroquine tablets we would inform you
you and you could place your order then.
We sincerely regret
this inconvenience.
NEW PRODUCTS
LOCOST would be manufacturing IBUPROFEN TABLETS Sugar coated
(200 mg, 400 mg), ERYTHROMYCIN STEARATE TABLETS, (250 mg) and
PYRANTEL PAMOATE ORAL SUSPENSION shortly.
Recently we have
got the licence for manufacturingthese items and from October
we would be able to supply them.
E.P. FORTE IS NO MORE
You would recollect some of our earlier newsletter explaining
why E.P. Forte - Estrogen - Progesteron High dose combination xhs
should not be used.
The drug action groups all over India have
been able to influence the Govt, to ban this combination. The
order to ban this tablets of E p high dose was passed on 15.6.88
by the Drug Controller of India while the injectables still
remained in the market. ACASH, a Bombay based action group has
filed a petition against the injectables and we lately hear that
they have obtained a stay against the use of injectables also.
It is fortunate that the ^ovt. of Gujarat has on its own taken
strict approach to withdraw even the injectables.

CENTRAL SALES TAX
For U.P., West Bengal, Orissa and the North Eastern States, IF THE GOODS ARE TO BE SENT BY
ROAD, Central Sales Tax Registration Number ( C.S.T. Number) is a MUST, (As of now, this is not
essential for partners from other states. )
C.S.T. Registration Number would enable partners to get 6% off on the bill. ( This is applicable to all
the Statas in India. )
The best way to find out how to get the C.S.T. forms, Road Permit is to ask a Sales Tax Lawyer or a

easily get a road permit) to tell you how to get it.
For LOCOST manufactured items Gujarat Sales Tax is not applicable for outside Gujarat Sales. Prices for
outside Gujarat Partners are therefore lower. However for outside Gujarat Sales 10% or 4% Central
Sales Tex (CST) is applicable.
On resale items (those purchased from other manufactures ) the above is not applicable and therefore

G. P. O, Post Box No. 134. Vadodara-390 001.
Generic name : Ephedrine Hydrochloride
Some brand names : Single constituent brand names normally not available.
Note : Often available in combination with Phenobarbitone, which is not rational.
Presentation : Tablets of 30 mg.
Identification : Small, round white scored tablets, bitter in taste.
Pharmacological action : Relaxes the smooth muscles of bronchi, uterus and of the
bladder ( the trigone and sphincter ). It raises blood pressure by narrowing down lumen
of peripheral blood vessels and by increasing cardiac output. Repeated administration of
Ephedrine will not elicit the same response ( tolerance ). Its effect lasts longer than that of
Adrenaline. It causes dilation of pupils and intolerance for bright light.
(i) Orally as prophylaxis in bronchial asthma to act as a
bronchodilator (ii) For symptomatic relief in cases of acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis.
Therapeutic indications :
Note : 0.25% or 0.5% Ephedrine drops or nasal sprays are commonly used to relieve nasal
congestion in rhinitis or sinusitis, but their continued use may aggravate the condition and
lead to rebound congestion and drug induced rhinitis.
Dose in children : 3 mg/kg.'day in 3-4 divided doses.
Dose in adults : Ranges from 15 to 60 mg dose for oral use.
For continuous medication
use 30 mg/dose.
Dosage interval : Minimum six hours.
Note : One tablet at bedtime prevents attacks of bronchial asthma during tha night. However,
it may be given in combination with Diazepam to avoid sleeplessness.
Use in pregnancy : Safety for use has not been established. Use only when clearly needed
and when potential benefits outweigh unknown potential hazards to the foetus.
Use in lactation : Safety for use has not been established. Use only when poteniial benefits
outweigh unknown potential hazards.
Note : Though Ephedrine is found very effective in bronchial asthma, patient develops
tolerance with continued use. So for effective therapy of asthma, it is better if patient takes
each of the antiasthmatic drugs in rotation during successive weeks. Commercial preparations
containing mixture of bronchodilator drugs must be avoided.
2
Better drugs like Salbutamol, Terbutaline. Aminopholiine, etc. have much less side
effects than Ephedrine, but'.they are much costlier.y. .
Significant interactions : None.
Adverse reactions : Some time gastrointestinal upsets, difficulty in passing urine,
sleeplessness, tremors, palpitations, stimulation of central nervous system and (rarely)
psychotic symptoms accompanied with hallucinations. It may cause retention of urine in
patients with enlarged prostate.
Contraindications : None.
Special precautions : Though Ephedrine ( given orally ) is not likely to cause any serious
adverse effects on heart, like other members of its group ( e. g. Adrenaline. Isoprenaline,
etc. ) care must be taken in patients already suffering from any coronary artery disease,
hypertension, hyperthyroidism and/or if the patient is too old.
:
Overdose : Do not exceed total dose of 240
mg/day
Storage : Keep in tightly closed container away from direct light.
Shelf life : Follow the expiry date on the label.

Explanatory Notes :
Prophylaxis : Means prevention ( dose is same as mentioned above )
Carrier stage : When a person is carrying germs without actually showing symptoms of the disease ( in case
of Typhoid, ampicillin is usually used after one attack, thus to prevent relapse ).
Maculopapular : Presence of discoloured, spots, not rising above the skin surface
also those palpable spots ( rising above the skin surface ) on the skin.
( called macules )
and
Granulocytopenia : Decrease in number of white cells with grain like structures in their cytoplasm ( but
not sufficiently decreased to warrant to use the term agranulocytosis ).

Genaric name : Phenylbutazon
Common brand Names : Zolandin, Butapyringa, etc.
Presentation : Sugar coated tablets of 100 mg.
Identification : White powder inside the sugar coat, has bitter after-taste and
is sparingly
soluble in water.
Pharmacological actions : It has greater antiinflammatory activities and less analgesic
and antipyretic effects than the salicylates ( e. g. Aspirin ). It can increase the excretion
of uric acid through kidney since it diminishes reabsorption in tubules of kidney. It can
produce symptomatic relief but does not alter the disease process.
Therapeutic indications : Useful in acute attacks of gout, rheumatoid arthritis and osteo
arthritis ( degenerative arthritis of bones ), ankylosing spondylitis. ( ankylosing : stiffness in
joints, spondyiltis : inflammation of vertebrae) to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Dose in rheumatoid arthritis :
Dose in adults : Initially 100-200 mg. three times a day and then maintenance dose of
100-200 mg. daily, not exceeding 400 mg./day in two or three divided doses.
Dose in children : 5 mg./kg. bodyweight/day in two or three divided doses.
Dose in gout : Single dose of 400 mg. initially and then 100 mg, every four hours may
be given in acute cases.
Note : The dose of this drug depends on severity of symptoms and nature of disease.
However, try to adjust as low a dose as possible, because of fear of adverse effects.
Use in pregnancy : Not recommended.
Use in lactation : Not recommended.
Adverse reactions : Most of the times
it is poorly tolerated. Its common side effects
are : dyspepsia (indigestion), vomiting, nausea, epigastric discomfort, skin rashes, sleeplessness,
euphoria, blurred vision, etc.
More serious reactions include bleeding from old peptic ulcers or sometimes formation
of new ulcers ( This is more often seen in patients taking 400 mg. daily or on prolonged
therapy). It may produce lymphadenitis (inflammation and swelling of lymph nodes),
megaloblastic and aplastic anaemia,, agranulocytosis, and thrombocytopenia (reduced number
2
of platelets). It can cause jaundice and some reactions in kidney functions also. Oedema
due to salt and water retention is likely to cause congestive cardiac failure in patients with
impaired cardiac functions. It may also reduce the iodine uptake by thyroid occasionally
producing hypothyroidism and enlargement of thyroid gland (goitre). Sometimes it can
precipitate systemic lupus erythematosus ( a serious systemic illness which may be chronic
or subacute characterised by skin lesions).
Drug interactions : Phenylbutazone is highly bound with plasma protein. In doing so it
may displace the oral anticoagulants, oral antidiabetics and sulfonamides from the plasma
protein binding sites in cases of co-administration. This may lead to increased plasma
concentration of suchd rugs and their toxicity.
Precautions : (1) Phenylbutazone is not the drug of first choice. Use this drug only
when other drugs like Aspirin or Ibuprofen have failed. (2) If satisfactory response
is not obtained with this therapy within a week, please discontinue the treatment
(3) If possible, carry out regular blood count check ups during treatment.
Also consciously look for symptoms of agranulocytosis. Development of sore throat,
inflammation of mouth (stomatitis), fever are dangerous signs and immediately discontinue
the treatment.

Generic name : Indomethacin
Common brand names : Indocid, Inmecin, Indocin, etc.
Presentation : Capsules of 25 mg.
Identification : White to yellow tanned, almost odourless crystalline powder insoluble in
water, inside the capsule.
Pharmacological action : It has antiinflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic actions. Its
analgesic action is seconda.y to reduction of inflammation . It doss not alter the progressive
course of the underlying disease
Therapeutic indications :lts uses are similar to those of Phenylbutazone.
It is effective in
rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis ( degenerative arthritis of bones ) and ankylosing spondylitis
(ankylosis : stiffness in joints; spondylitis : inflammation of vertebrae ), for reducing inflammation
and pain. It is very effective in rheumatoid arthritis but it is not the drug of first choice
because of its side effects. It may be preferred in acute attacks of gout and ankylosing
spondilitis as it can relieve pain within two hours of first dose. Also useful in preventing
attacks of gout (25 mg. b. i. d.) when Colchicine is not effective.
Note : Indomethacin has been included in the Essential Drug List of WHO (1985).
It should not be considered a simple analgesic and should not be used routinely. Because of
its potential adverse drug reactions, use in rheumatoid or osteoarthritis should be made with care.
It may be considered only after Aspirin or when other drugs have failed.
Dose in adults : 25-50 mg. at an interval of 8-12 hours.
Dose in children : 1-2 mg. kg./day upto 100 mg. in 2 or 3 divided doses. Before starting
full dose, a test dose of a quarter of the daily dose should be given for 2 days, then half
of the daily dose for 2 days should be given. Then only switch over to full dose.
Use in pregnancy : Do not use.
Use in lactation : Do not use.
Dose in prophylaxis of gout : 25 mg. twice a day.
even with therapeutic doses is 35-50 %
and about 20% of users need to discontinue the drug.
Adverse reactions : Incidence of adverse effects
Common adverse effects : Headache, giddiness, mental confusion, blurring of vision, etc.
2
Less common effects : Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, skin rashes, peptic ulcer, blood
dyscrasias, i. e. abnormality of blood cells and functions. It causes sodium retention and
temporary rise in blood urea. Long term use may damage the eye.
Drug interactions : Probenecid ( anti-gout drug ) increases plasma concentration of
Indomethacin ani hence its toxicity. It also reduces sodium excreting effect of Frusemide.
It decreases excretion of Lithium, thereby increasing its toxicity. Aspirin decreases the
Indomethacin blood level.
Precautions : To be used cautiously in patients of renal impairment, bleeding tendency
and old age. Also use with caution in patients of Epilepsy and Parkinsonism.
Note : Avoid its use in diseases of gout, CNS and kidney. Do not use in presence of any
infection since Indomethacin may mask the symptoms and signs of infection.
Contraindications : Do not use in patients with history of peptic ulcer and gastro-intestinal
lesion. It should not be given to patients wirh hypersensitivity to Penicillin and Aspirin.
Overdose : Strictly follow dose schedules mentioned above.
Storage : Away from light and humidity, approx,
at 30° C. temp.
Shelf life : Follow the expiry date, as indicated

Generic Name : Vitamin A, Retinol
Some Brand Names : Aquasol A (50,000 I.U.), Arovit (50,000 l.U.)
Presentation ; Capsules of 2 lac l.U.
Pharmacological Action :
(1)
Vit. A is necessary for maintaining normal vision. It plays a vital role in the phenomenon of usual
adaptation to darkness. Its deficiency is characterised by night blindness in the early stages. If not
corrected at this stage, it may progressively pass through the stages of xerosis (dryness of conjuctiva,
Bitot Spots), xerophthalmia ( extreme dryness of conjunctiva ) and keratomalacia ( ulceration and
perforation of cornea leading to irreversible blindness ).
(2)
Vit. A is essential for maintaining the integrity of epithelial cells especially in the respiratory system,
gastro intestinal tract skin, ovaries, etc. Therefore its deficiency may result into recurrent respiratory
infection, diarrhoea, dryness of skin and even infertility.
(3)
Vit. A is also necessary for the synthesis of glucocorticoids (hormones of adrenal cortex) cholesterol
and for physical growth.
Therapeutic uses : It is,
most useful both for correcting the deficiency states or for prevention of the
same. Vit. A deficiency is the commonest preventable cause of blindness in India. Therefore judicious
prophylactic use of Vit. A can reduce the incidence of blindness in our country.
Vit. A has a limited value in the treatment of skin diseases like acne, psoriasis etc. Other retinoids
(substances similar to retinol) have replaced Vit. A in this condition.
Dosage Schedule :
Prophylaxis : 50,000 l.U. orally at birth, 1 lac l.U. orally at 6 months of age and 2 lac l.U. at every six
months' interval above 1 year of age. 3 lac units to a woman immediately after delivery.
Night Blindness and Xerophthalmia : 2 lac l.U. straight, 2 lac l.U. the
next day and further 2 lac l.U.
after two weeks.
Use in Pregnancy : Use of Vit. A in doses exceeding 6000 l.U. per day should be avoided especially during
first trimester of pregnancy, since the risk of congenital abnormalities in the foetus is increased.
Note : (1) Normal daily requirements of Vitamin A in adults and older children is 5000 l.U. per day and
30C0 l.U. in children.
(2)
During infancy, pregnancy or lactation, the increased body requiremants of retinol can be met by its
supplements alongwith normal diet.
(3)
Injectable preparation of Vit. A should be water-miscible and oral preparation should be in oily base.
Use in Lactation : 3 lac I. U. orally
(single dose) to a woman as soon as possible after delivery to

Generic Name : Doxycycline
Common Brand Names : Doxy-1, Duracyclin, Vivocycline.
Presentation : Capsules of 100 mg each.
Pharmacological Action : Doxycycline is a tetracycline sharing all pharmacological actions, adverse
effects and therapeutic uses with the other members of its group, with the following important differences.
1.
It is more completely absorbed from the gut and it is eliminated mainly in the stool.
2.
Because of complete absorption and sustained higher concentration in the plasma, it needs to be given
once or twice a day only.
3.
Since it is nearly completely absorbed, very little passes to the colon, and hence the chances of
superinfections are less. Also the incidence of drug related diarrhoea is less.
4.
Because little of the drug is eliminated by kidneys, it can be safely given for the treatment of extrarenal
infections with renal insufficiency. For the same reason, it has doubtful efficacy in treatment of urinary
tract infections.
5.
In short, doxycycline provides a convenient form of tetracycline for administration and is safer than
other tetracyclines.
Dose : 100 mg. twice a day on the first day, followed by 100 mg daily for 7-10 days.
In severe infections 100 mg twice a day for 7-10 days may be given.
For other details, please refer to the Product Information Sheet on tetracycline.

G. P. O. Post Box No. 134, Vadodara-390 001
Generic Name : Sulphadimidine
Common Brand Names : No brand named single ingradient formulation of sulphadimidine could be found.
Presentation : Scored tablets of 500 mg.
Identification :
Round, white, scored tablets, having white crystalline powder, mildly acidic and relatively
insoluble in water.
Pharmacological Action : It is mainly bacteriostatic (halts multiplication and growth of bacteria) in
action. It is effective in a variety of gram positive and gram negative organisms. In case of urinary tract
infections its action is bactericidal (destroys bacteria).
Therapeutic uses :
(a)
Urinary tract infections-effective against E. Coli, ineffective in chronic cases and in presence of mixed
infections.
(b)
Acute bacillary dysentary, although some of the bacteria are showing resistance nowadays.
(c)
Mild upper respiratory tract infections (without pus exudates in the throat).
(d)
Meningococcal and H. Influenza Meningitis.
Dose in Adults : A loading dose of 2 gm followed by 1 gm 4 times a day.
Dose in Children : 500 mg 4 times a day for children below 12 years of age. Do not use Sulphonamides
in premature infants, and babies below the age of two months.
Dosage interval : Six hours.
Duration of Treatment : 7-10 days.
Usa in Pregnancy : Avoid, especially in late pregnancy.
It is harmful to the foetus.
Use in Prophylaxis : 1 gm of Sulphadimidine twice daily can be used as prophylaxis against streptococcal
tonsillitis in patients who have recovered from rheumatic fever. For fear of sulphonamide resistance, its
use should be restricted to patients showing allergy to penicillin.
Note : Follow up
cases of chronic urinary tract infections with 1 gm. of sulphadimidine daily for six
months.
failure, (ii) Past history of allergic reaction to the drug, (iii) impaired
liver function, and (iv) G-6-PD deficiency.
Contraindications : (i) Renal
Adverse reactions : There is a great tendency to exaggerate the ill-effects of sulphonamides. They have
an important place in therapeutics because of their effectiveness and cheaper cost.
(P. T. O.)
Discontinuation of the drug is indicated immediately in following cases :
(a)
Skin rashes resembling those of measles accompanied by fever, joint pains, itching, bronchospasm and
leukopenia (count of white blood cells becomes less than normal).
The temporary allergic reaction due to sulphadimidine disappears within 72 hours of discontinuation
of the drug.
(b)
Obstruction of urine flow and renal colic due to crystalluria (presence of crystals in urine), album
inuria (presence of albumin in urine) leading to scanty or total stoppage of urine flow.
This reaction can be avoided by ensuring sufficient urine output (one litre daily) by advising sufficient
water intake and making the urine alkaline by giving an alkaline mixture.
(c)
Extremely rare reaction is toxicity of haemopoietic system (system concerned with production and
maintenance of various cells in blood).
Notes : (1) Advise lot of fluid intake to patients on sulpha and alkainisation of urine to avoid crystalluria.
(2)
Give full therapeutic dose of sulphadimidine. Giving J to 1 tab. three times a day is inadequate and
hazardous.
(3)
Never use a combinatian of sulpha and oral pencillin in the treatment of infections. Such a combination
reduces the efficacy of pencillin.
(4)
Sulpha should not be used in the form of skin ointment or powders. Sensitisation of skin occurs fast
and produces allergic skin reactions.
Significant Interactions : They enhance the anticoagulant property of Warfarin. They may produce hypog
lycaemia in patients on tolbutamide therapy.
Overdose : Stomach emptying by aspiration and lavage, in cases of recent overdosage. Saline purgative
such as sodium sulphate 30 gm in 250 ml water to promote peristalsis, when the kidney functions are
still adequate. Also give sodium bicarbonate for alkalinisation and elimination of the drug in urine. In
case of severe crystalluria and other toxicity active measures such as catheterisation with warm 2.5%
sodiumbicarbonate, forced diuresis and dialysis are advised.
Special precaution : Discontinue treatment at the first sign of adverse reaction.
Instruction to patients : Drink lot of water while on
therapy.
Storage : Away from direct light in tight containers at room temperature.
Shelf life : Follow the expiry date on the containers.

Generic Name :
Sulphamethoxypyridazine ( Long Acting Sulpha )
Common Brand Name : Midikel
Presentation : Scored tablets of 500 mg.
Identification : Round, white, scored tablets, having white crystalline powder, mildly acidic and relatively
insoluble in water.
Pharmacological Action : It is mainly bacteriostatic (retards growth of bacteria) in action. It is effective
in a variety of gram positive and gram negative organisms. In case of urinary tract infections its action is
bactericidal (destroys bacteria). Its rate of absorption and urinary excretion is slowar and hence its effect
lasts longer.
Therapeutic uses :
(a)
Urinary tract infections-effective against E. Coli, ineffective in chronic cases and in presence of mixed
infections.
(b)
Acute bacillary dysentary, although some of these bacteria are showing resistance nowadays.
(c)
Mild upper respiratory tract infections (without pus exudates in the throat).
(d)
Meningococcal and H. Influenza Meningitis.
Dose in Adults : Loading dose of 2 gm followed by 1 gm daily in a single dose for 7-10 days.
Dose in Children : Loading dose of 50-60 mg/kg followed by 25/30
mg/kg/day. Do not give this drug
to newborns and premature babies.
Use in Pregnancy : Avoid its use, especially in late pregnancy. It is harmful to the foetus.
dose of 1.5 gm can be used to prevent streptococcal tonsilitis in patients
of rheumatic fever, who are allergic to pencillin. It can also be used in a similar dose for six months in
cases of chronic urinary tract infections.
Use in Prophylaxis : Weekly
is a tendency to exaggerate the illeffects of sulphonamides. They have an
important place in therapeutics because of their effectiveness and cheaper cost. Discontinuation of the
drug is indicated immediately in the following cases :
Adverse Reactions : Theie
(a)
Skin rashes resembling those of measles appear, sometimes accompanied by fever, joint pains, itching,
bronchospasm, leukopenia (count of white blood cells becomes less than normal).
(b)
Obstruction to urine flow and renal colic due to crystalluria (presence of crystals in urine) and albuminuria
(presence of albumin in urine) leading to scanty or total stoppage of urine flow. This reaction can be
avoided by ensuring suffcient urine output (one litre daily) by advising sufficient water intake and making
the urine alkaline by giving alkaline mixture.
( P. T. O.)
(c)
Extremely rare reaction is toxicity of haemopoietic system (system concerned with production and ,
maintenance of various cells in blood).
In case of long acting sulpha-though the side effects are less common, they have a disadvantage that they
take longer to get eliminated from the body. Rare conditions like Steven Johnson's Syndroms, haemolytic
anemia in patients with G6PD deficiency may prove fatal. (Indian data or reports on these are not yet
available).
Notes : (1) Advise lot of fluid intake to patients on sulpha.
(2)
Do not give long acting Sulpha to patients who have shown any allergic reaction to other sulphona
mides.
(3)
Sulpha should not be used in skin ointment or powders. Sensitisation of skin occurs fast and chronic
eczema can result.
Significant Interactions : It enhances the anticoagulant property of warfarin. It may produce hypoglycaemia
in patients on Sulphonylurea compounds, (tolbutamide, chlorpropamide, glybenclamide).
Overdose : Do not exceed the dosage prescribed. In case of overdosage, follow the same method as
suggested for sulphadimidine overdose.
Special precautions : Discontinue treatment at the first sign of adverse reaction.
Instruction to Patients : Drink lot of water while on therapy.
Storage : Away from direct light in tight containers at room temperature.
Shelf life : Follow the expiry date on the containers.

Generic name : Nitrofurantoin.
Common brand names : Furadantin, Progantin. NFT.
Presentation : Tablets of 50 mg. and 100 mg.
Identification : Yellow tablets.
Pharmacological Action : Nitrofurantoin is a synthetic, broad spectrum antibacterial agent. It acts as a bacterio
static or bactericidal compound depending on its concentration. Therapeutic concentrations are achieved only in
the urine because it is rapidly cleared from the blood and therefore its use is restricted only in the treatment
or urinary tract infections.
It is effective against most strains of E. Coli only. Other bacteria are resistant to this drug.
Therapeutic Uses : As a urinary tract antiseptic for treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections produced
by susceptible strains of E. Coil. It is useful in (a) Acute cystitis, (a) acute urethritis, Prostatitis, (Ampicillin or Cotrimoxazole are preferred drugs.) (c) prevention
of bacteriuria after removal of prostate, (d) Suppression of chronic infection and prevention in repeated,chronic
catheterization, chronic prostatitis, lower urinary tract obstruction, cystitis associated with sexual intercourse, and
recurrent cystitis due to unidentifiable causes.
Note : A thorough search should be made for factors causing and continuing infection of the urinary tract before
prescribing chronic suppressive therapy.
Doses : 1.25 to 1.75mg/kg. every six hours (i.e 50-100 mg. every six hours in adults) for 1-2 weeks.
Dose for Prophylaxis : 1-2 mg/kg of body weight once a day at bedtime.
Notes : (1) The tablets should be taken with food or milk to avoid gastrointestinal irritation. (2) Nitrofurantoin
should not be given for more than 14 days in a single course. If repeated courses are required, there should be
a gap of 2-4 weeks. (3) Patients with impaired renal functions should not be given this drug. (4) Since
Nitrofurantoin is more effective in acidic urine, urinary alkalinisers should not be given concurrently.
Use in Pregnancy ; Since it crosses the placenta, its use is not recommended in the first trimester for the fear
of malformation in the foetus and also at term because it cen cause hemolytic anemia due to immature enzyme
systems in the foetus.
Use in lactation : It should not be given to mothers of infants beiow 1 month of age since it can cause hemo
lytic anemia in the infant.
Contradictions : Pregnant women at full term, impaired kidney function, infants below 1 month of age, hyper
sensitivity to the drug Glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
2
Adverse Reactions : Common adverse effects are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite
It can also cause chills fever, dizlness, headache, hemolytic anemia, skin rashes, hepatotoxicity and blood dyscracias
Notes : 1 It can cause brown discoloration of urine and the patient should be instructed accordingly.
2
If it is given with drugs causing dermatitis, hemolytic anemia or liver damage the chances of these
adverse effects are increased.
Explanatory Notes :
Cystitis : Inflammation of the urinary bladder characterised by disuria, urgency and frequency of urine.
Bacteriuria : Passage of bacteria in urine.

Generic name : Chloramphenicol
Common brand names : Chloromycetin, Enteromycetin, Kemicetin. Paraxin.
Presentation : Capsules of 250 mg. each.
Identification : Capsules containing white powder.
Pharmacological Actions : It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic having activity against a wide range of microorganisms.
Low concentrations inhibit H. Influenzae. N. Meningitidis, N. Gonorrhoeae, S. Typhi, Brucella, B. Pertussis, most
anaerobic bacteria. Strep, pyogens, Strep. Pneumoniae, Shigella and V. Cholerae. Higher concentrations inhibit
E Coli, most K. Pneumoniae and some Enterobacter, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa is resistant Staph. Aureus requires
very high concentrations for inhibition. It is also effective against Rickettsiae. Chlamydia and Mycoplasma organisms.
Therapeutic uses and Dosage schedule : Though it is a broad spectrum antibiotic' its use is limited to those
conditions where other antibiotics are not effective. Therapy with this antibiotic carries the risk of bone marrow
suppression producing aplastic anaemia which, though uncommon, is a fatal complication.
The following are the important indications :
a) Typhoid fever : It is still the drug of choice for the treatment of typhoid fever.
Dose : Initially 50 mg/kg. daily in 4 divided doses given every 6 hours till fever subsides ( 3 to 5 days ),
Followed by 30 mg/kg. similarly in 4 divided doses daily for 2 weeks.
Note : Amoxycillin, Ampicillin and Cotrimoxazole are also effectively used drugs. Chances of carrier state
or relapses are lesser with these drugs than with Chloramphenicol. However. Chloramphenicol is still preferred
because of rapidity of its action.
b)
Bacterial meningitis caused by Ampicillin resistant H. Influenzae respond very well to Chloramphenicol. The
dose is 50-75 mg. per day, divided into 4 equal doses, given intravenously every six hours for 2 weeks.
Patients having allergy to penicillin and suffering from meningococcal meningitis or Str. Pneumoniae menin
gitis can also be treated with Chloramphenicol.
c)
Chloramphenicol is one of the most effective antimicrobials, for treatment of anaerobic infections of pelvic
or abdominal cavity or their spread elsewhere in the body. However, in the current practice Metronidazole
or one of the cephalosporins is preferred for reason of safety.
d)
Respiratory infections caused by Str. Pneumoniae or H. Influenzae where penicillin cannot be used for the
reason of bacterial resistance or allergy, can be treated with Chloramphenicol.
e)
Deeper occular infections of posterior chamber of eye respond well to systemic therapy with chloramphenicol
since chloramphenicol can penetrate very well into the occular fluids.
Note : Chloramphenicol is not to be used routinely in urinary tract infections, since safer and more effective
antimicrobials are available.
Use during Pregnancy : Only if absolutely necessary. Its use should be avoided in the women at full term.
Use during lactation : Its use should be avoided in nursing mothers unless strongly indicated.
2
Contraindications : History of hypersensitivity reaction or previous blood dyscrasias ( leucopenia, anaemia throm
bocytopenia ) and in premature neonates and infants.
Adverse reactions
(a) Intolerance : Allergic reactions like skin rashes, dermatitis, drug fever and glossitis
(b) Bone marrow : Aplastic anemia is most dangarous reaction. It occurs as an idiosyncratic reaction. This is a rare
reaction with the incidence of 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 1 lakh. Misuse of Chloramphenicol should always be avoided
because aplastic anemia is nearly fatal even with the best treatment available. Chloramphenicol can also be
directly toxic to bone marrow and can result into agranulocytosis. Indiosyncracy is unrelated to the dose whereas
direct toxicity is dose related, (c) Grey Baby syndrome : Grey baby syndrome in premature babies is manifested
by vomiting, refusal to suck, irregular and rap'd respirations, abdominal distension, cyanosis and passage of green
stools, followed by flaccidity, an ashen-grey colour, a decrease in temperature and a refractory lactic acidosis,
(mortality rate is about 49%). This occurs because the babies do not metabolise and excrete the drug efficiently
due to poorly developed liver and kidney functions, (d) Encephalopathy and cardiomyopathy are also occasionally
reported, (e) Distutbances of microflora of the gastrointestinal tract and superinfections with resistant micro
organisms can occur.
Drug Interactions ; Chloramphenicol inhibits the metabolism of several drugs in the body. Effects of Phenytoin.
oral antidiabetic agents ( chlorpropamide, tolbutamide ) and warfarin may be seriously increased. Phenobarbitone
on chronic administration lowers the concentrations of chloramphenicol by increasing its metabolism.
Precautions :
1. It should be used only when absolutely necessary as in t ie treatment of established case of Typhoid fever.
2. Regular WBC and differential counts and periodic haemoglobin estimation are useful during therapy to avoid
direct toxicity on the bone-marrow. Withdraw the drug at the first sign of sorethfoat.
3. Do not use in infants as far as possible.
4. Avoid using Phenylbutazone, Analgin and other drugs likely to cause blood dyscrasias as they increase the
risk when used with Chloramphenicol.
5. Its use in diarrhoea, especially in combination with Streptomycin (e.g. chlorostrep. enterostrep, enteroparaxin
etc. . .) is irrational and har mful.
"
EXPLANATORY NOTES :
1. Aplastic Anemia : Failure of the bone marrow to produce RBC, WBC and platelets i.e. pancytopenia.
2. Idiosyncrasy : Qualitative intolerance due to other than immune mechanisms. Many a time the abnormal
reactions to the drug are precipitated because of genetically determined total absence or reduced activity of
some enzymes in the body. However, the exact cause of Chloramphenicol induced aplastic anemia is not known.
3. Agranulocytosis : It is an acute condition characterised by pronounced leukopenia with a great reduction in
the number of neutrophils (frequently less than 500 per cmm.)

Generic Name : Acetylsalicyclic Acid, Aspirin.
Common Brand Names : No brand named single ingredient formulation of aspirin could
be found.
Presentation : Tablets of 300 mg each
Identification : Round, white, scored tablets of almost colourless,
taste.
crystalline powder with slightly acidic
Pharmacological Actions : The analgesic and antiinflammatory action of aspirin is by inhibition of Prosta
glandin Synthesis. Exact mechanism by which it reduces fever is not known. Its antipyretic action may
be either due to the inhibition of Prostaglandin Synthesis or due to its ability to augment dissipation of
heat by increased blood flow through skin and by sweating.

reducing temperature, reducing inflammation and swelling, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis (degenerative
joint disease), spondylitis (inflammation of one or more vertebrae), bursitis (inflammation of bursa a sac of
fluid lining the area subject to friction) and rheumatic fever.
Therapeutic Uses : Aspirin is generally useful in
Dose in Adults : 300 mg-600 mg as and when required or at an interval of 4 hours. Total intake should
not exceed 6 grams per day.
Dose in Children : 10-15 mg/kg as and when required or at an interval of 4-6 hours. Total intake should
not exceed 3.6 gm per day.
Dose in rheumatic fever : Adults : 4-6 gm daily in 4-6 divided doses. Children : 100 mg, kg' day in 4-6
divided doses for 1 week, then to be reduced stepwise every week to a maintenance dose of 60 mg kg'day,
to be maintained as long as necessary.
Dose in rheumatoid arthritis : 4-6 gm/day maximum in divided doses.
Use in Pregnancy : Aspirin should be avoided during pregnancy, unless there are strong indications like
rheumatic fever or following open heart surgery.
Use in Lactation : Safe.
disturbances such as nausea, dyspepsia and vomiting Patients with
peptic ulcer may bleed after taking aspirin. Intolerance to aspirin manifests by symptoms that range from
vasomotor rhinitis with profuse watery secretions, angioneurotic oedema, generalised urticaria and bron
chial asthma to laryngeal oedema and bronchoconstictrion, hypotension, shock, loss of conciousness and
complete vasomotor collapse. This is more common in patients with asthma, nasal polyps or chronic urticaria.
Adverse Effects : Gastrointestinal
( P. T. O. )
Motes :
(1) Its action is symptomatic i. e. gives relief from symptoms without changing the course of
disease.
(2) Its value in preventing acute or recurrent attacks of myocardial reinfarction is yet to be
proven.
(3) The popular combinations of aspirin with other analgesic and/or antiinflammatory agents have
got no scientific basis. However, in some cases of cancer pains, combination of 650 mg
aspirin with 65 mg of codeine or 25 mg of pentazocine hydrochloride may be used.
(4) It is strongly suspected to be one of the causative agents for Reye's syndrome in children
suffering from viral fever (influenza and chicken pox). It is recommended that aspirin should
not be given to children below 12 years of age, possibly suffering from viral infections. In
such situation paracetamol should be used. However, aspirin is a very valuable drug in the
treatment of chronic diseases like juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatic fever, where
the benefits of aspirin far outweigh the very small risk of Reye's syndrome.
(5) There is no advantage in using 'soluble' aspirin tablets. They contain citric acid and sodium
bicarbonate without any additional benefit. On the contrary it increases the cost.
Special Precautions :
(1)
(2)
(3)
Aspirin should be taken with a glass of water or milk or after meals. Practice of giving antacids
with aspirin should be avoided as the antacids decrease the absorption of aspirin.
Do not give asp rin if kidney or liver functions are impaired and particularly in children if the patient
is dehydrated.
Aspirin should not be used after the expiry date, for fear of side effects.
(ii) patients with peptic ulcer, (Hi) concomitant use
of probenecid or other uricosuric agent (which increase excretion of uric acid in the urine).
Contra-indications : (i) Hypersensitivity to aspirin,
Significant interactions :
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
Concomitant use of alcohol increases gastrointestinal irritation.
Aspirin given alongwith oral anticoagulants increases bleeding tendency.
Concomitant administration of aspirin and methotrexate decreases urinary excretion of the later,
enhancing its toxicity.
Concurrent administration of aspirin and glucocorticosteroid increases the chance of gastro-duodenal
ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding.
Over dosags : Single dose of 25-30 gm may prove fatal, due to extreme electrolyte imbalance, gastric
bleeding and dehydration.
Treatment of Overdosage : Empty the stomach immediately by aspiration and lavage or emesis
(induced
vomiting). Give lot of fluid and forced diuresis (increased urine excretion). The acidosis should be corre
cted by infusing sodium bicarbonate. Monitor the acid base balance carefully.
Storage : Store at room
temperature in a dry place, in tightly packed containers away from reach of
children.
Shelf life : One and a half year from the date of
manufacture. Do not use aspirin when you see crystals
on tablets. Strictly follow the expiry date.

Generic Name : Ascorbic Acid ( Vitamin-C )
Common brand nama : Celin
Presentation : Tabs 50 mg 100 mg.
Identification : Almost odourless, colourless, white or pale yellow crystals, with an acidic taste made into tablets.
Physiological functions and Pharmacological actions : Vit C participates in oxidation-reduction reaction and in
cellular respiration. It is essential for the normal functioning of some of the enzymes for synthesis of collagen,
development of cartilege bone and teeth and for healing of wounds. It is involved in the formation of haemo
globin, maturation of red blood cells and conversian of folic acid into its active form. It is also involved in
the carbohydrate metabolism and in synthesis of glucocorticoids. The daily requirement of Vit C for an adult is
30-50 mg. Since this amount is readily available from normal diet, its deficiency is not very common. Its
deficiency results into Scurvy.
It is readily absorbed from gastrointestinal tract when taken orally. Being a water soluble vitamin, excess of
Vit C. is rapidly excreted in urine.
Therapeutic uses : The most rational use of Vit C is in management of scurvy. It is also useful in the treatment
of Methemoglobinemia when Methylene Blue is not available.
Dose in Scurvy : 100-500 mg/day, should not exceed 1 gm ascorbic acid,day in any case.
Dose in prophylaxis : Adults-50-100 mg day.
Children : 5 mg/kg,day
Pregnant women : 80 mg/day
Lactating women : 100 mg/day
Dose in Methemoglobonemia : 300-600 mg. daily.
Use in pregnancy : Quite safe. Doses more than 1 gm should be avoided during last trimester of pregnancy.
Use in lactation : Quite safe.
Contraindications : None.
Significant interaction : No specific data are available.
Adverse reactions : Prolonged use of high doses is known to cause kidney stones. Incidence of rebound scurvy
in new born babies of women taking megadoses in last trimester of pregnancy is also known.
Notes : 1) Supplements of Vitamin C are unnecessary when on normal diet. The best dietary sources of
Vit C are citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, potatoes, etc.
2)
Supplements of Vit C are also unnecessary for infants on breast milk.
3)
Vit C can enhance the absorption of iron from gut. But for significant clinical effect at least 200
mg three times a day must be given which increases the cost without adding to the benefit and
hence is unnecessary.
2
4)
Role of large dose of Vit C in the prevention or cure of common cold is yet not establishad. So
is the case about claims of its beneficial effect in cancers,
5)
Requirements of Vit C may increase in certain infectious diseases, burns and surgery. However, its
routine use in these conditions should be avoided.
Storage : Store in air tight non-metallic containers, 'away from light.
Shelf life : Follow the expiry date on the containers.
Explanatory notes :
1. Collagen Synthesis : Synthesis ( formation ) of collagen, the mojor protein of the white fibres of connective
tissues.
2,
Methemoglobinemia : Oxidised form of haemoglobin circulating in blood, which has lost oxygen carrying
capacity.
3.
Scurvy : Vitamin C deficiency state characterised by loss of appetite, listlessness and painful movements of
limbs in infants and bleeding spongy gums, anaemia and haemorrhages in subcutaneous tissues, muscles
and joints in adults.

once or twice a week, over and above the therapy with usual doses as above, when acute infections occur.
Use in Urinary Tract Infections : Usual doses for 10 days in case of
Use in Respiratory Tract Infections : Usual doses for
7-10 days normally and also for acute ear
infections in children, maxillary sinusitis in adults, etc. In acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, 3 single
strength tabs twice a day for 7-10 days may be given.
Use in Gastrointestinal Infections : Usual doses
for 10 days in bacillary dysentery (shigellosis), acute
gastroenteritis and diarrhoea due to E. coli.
In typhoid fever, usual doses for 15 days In typhoid carrier cases, continue for 3 months.
Note : In case of children, chloramphenicol or ampicillin are preferred over cotrimoxazole.
( P. T. O. )
Use in Genital Infections : Usual dose for 7-10 days for acute gonococcal Infections (Penicillin resistant
ones) require 2 double strength tabs for 5-7 days for both males and females.
Note : However, penicillin or ampicillin remain the first drug of choice in all genital infections except
those resistant to penicillin group of drugs or patients having allergy to them.
Contraindications : In cases of hypersensitivity to sulphonamides, megaloblastic anaemias, G6PD deficiency
and renal insufficiency.
Drug Interactions : Sulphamethoxazole may increase the effects and toxicity of oral hypoglycemic agents,
oral anticoagulants, methotrexate and phenytoin. Previous or simultaneous use of local anaesthetics like
procaine, decreases antibacterial action of sulphonamides. Methenamine or methanamine mandelate should
not be prescribed with this combination in urinary tract infections. Thiazide related diuretics given previously or simultaneously increase the risk of thrombocytopenia.

Generic name : Amoxycillin
Common brand names : Mox, Moxilium, Idimox, Novamox.
Presentation : Capsules of 250 mg each. Syrup of 125 mg. per 5 ml in 60 ml bottles.
Identification : White, odourless, crystalline powder in capsule,
Notes ;
1 Pharmacological actions and therapeutic uses of Amoxycillin are similar to those of Ampicillin.
2
However, Ampicillin is preferred over Amoxycillin for treatment of bacillary dysentary due to shigelae organisms.
3
Since it is more rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract than Ampicillin, the peak
concentrations in plasma are 2 to 2.5 times greater than those of Ampicillin after oral administration of the
same dose. For this reason the effective plasma concentrations last for longer duration. Therefore Amoxy
cillin is administered three times a day as against four times for Ampicillin.
4
Because of more complete absorption of Amoxycillin, the incidence of diarrhoea with this drug is less than
that following administration of Ampicillin.
5
Food does not interfere with its absorption.
6
The incidence of other adverse effects appear to be similar for both Amoxycillin and Ampicillin.
Dose in Adults : 250 - 500 mg 3 times a day
Dose in Children : 20- 40 mg/kg day in 3 divided doses.
Use in Pregnarasy : Safe.
Use in Lactation : Safe.
Storage ; Store in comparatively cooler place away from light, in air tight containers.
Shelf life : Follow the expiry date strictly.

by resistant microorganisms can occur, producing oral, pharyngeal,
vaginal and systemic infections. Pseudomembranous colitis is a highly fatal condition due to overgrowth
of Cl. difficile.
Adverse Reactions : Superinfections
Hypersensitivity reactions : Skin rashes, drug eruptions, glossitis, burning of the eyes, pruritus in peri
neal region. Drug fever, eosinophilia and asthma may occur.
Gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea vomitting and diarrhoea in some individuals. The symptoms
disappear on continued therapy or adjustment in dosage schedules, or giving the drug with food.
Liver toxicity in- case of a few patients on large doses and also the pregnant women is observed. Kidney
failure due to tetracycline may occur in rare cases. Tetracycline, after expiry date, can cause 'Fanconi-like'
syndrome which is characterised by severe renal damage and high fatality rate.
The deposition of the drug in the calcified tissues such as bones and teeth results into their discoloration
especially in foetus, infants and children belo.v 12 years of age. Bone depression may be found in rare
cases.
Some patients on tetracycline therapy may experience phototoxic reactions ( sunburns, breaking of nails
etc.) when exposed to sunlight.
Specific Interactions : The presence of milk, antacids containing Magnesium, Aluminium or Calcium
reduce the absorption of this drug.
Shelf life : Follow the expiry date strictly. Do not use outdated
product or product spoiled by heat and
humidity.
Storage : Store in cool, dark place in a tightly
packed container.

Generic name : Ferrous Sulphate
Common brand names : No popular brand preparation containing only Ferrous Sulphate is available.
Note : This drug is often available in combination with Folic acid, Vit. B12, other vitamins and minerals.
Identification : Sugar coated tablets containing bluish green crystalline powder having metallic and astringent taste.
Presentation : Tablets of 200 mg Ferrous Sulphate containing 60 mg. of elemental iron.
Pharmacological action : Iron is an essential metal for synthesis of Hb. Adequate Hb. is necessary to facilitate
the oxygen-transport by the blood. Iron is also a part of myglobin ( muscle protein ) and several essential
enzymes in the body e.g. liver enzymes which metabolise drugs.
Therapeutic uses : It is solely used either to prevent or to correct anemia due to iron deficiency.
As Prophylaxis against anemia in pregnant lactating and menstruating women, infants, young children, regular
blood donors and following gasterectomy.
For treatment of iron deficiency anemia due to deficient intake or decreased absorption of dietary iron, pregnancy,
lactation and infancy, acute or chronic blood loss as in menorrhagia, peptic ulcer, piles and hookworm infestation.
Dose in Adults : For Prophylaxis ; One Tablet daily after meals.
For treatment ; One tablet 2-3 times a day after meals.
Dose in Children : Infants & young children 1 - 5 mg/kg/day of elemental iron (syrup). For older children,
give half the adult dose.
Duration of Therapy : For Prophylaxis : As long as necessary.
For treatment of Iron Deficiency : Continue the treatment till the Hb level is restored to normal (1 - 3 months)
depending on the initial Hb level. Continue the therapy for further 2-4 months after restoration of normal Hb.
in order to replenish the depleted iron stores.
Use in Pregnancy : Safe. Start after first three months of pregnancy.
Use in Lactation : Safe.
Adverse Effects : Mild gastrointestinal disturbances like colicky pain, gastric distress, vomitting and diarrhoea or
constipation. These can be minimised by giving tablets after food and by gradual increase in the dose.
Significant interaction : Avoid concurrent administration of these with antacids or alcohol and alcohol containing
drugs. Effectiveness of Tetracycline is reduced because of its decreased absorption when iron tablets are
given simultaneously,
2
Over dosage : Accidental ingestion of iron tablets may produce acute iron poisoning especially in children. 1-2
gm of iron (15-30 tablets) may prove fatal. Poisoning is manifested by abdominl pain, diarrhoea, or vomittmg
brown and bloody stomach contains, pallor or cyanosis, lasitude, drowsiness, hyperventillation and cardio vasc
ular collapse (shock). For immediate treatment of overdosage, induce vomitting, give solution of sodium bicarbo
nate or milk orally and rush the child to the nearest medical centre.
Contraindications : None
Special Precautions : Keep out of reach of children to avoid accidental overdosage.
Notes : 1. Insist on taking iron preparations orally since the belief that injections of iron cause rapid response
is baseless and unscientific ( the rise of Hb. will be same with oral or injectable iron ). Besides,
injections of iron are painful, costly and can cause serious adverse effects.
2. The belief that iron tablets always cause gastric intolerance, is not correct. Patients who complaint
of gastric intolerance also start tolerating it with continued use, reassurance, taking it after food and
gradually increasing the dose.
3.
In case of pure iron deficiency anemia, one need to take only iron salts. During pregnancy and
lactation, in addition to iron one needs Folic acid. Therefore a combination of iron and Folic acid
is a rational choice in most cases of anemia in our country. There is no need to take formulations
containing a variety of vitamins and minerals. They only add to the cost and toxicity.
4.
Adding 200 mg Vitamin C to each dose of iron, enhances Fe absorption marginally. Formulations
containing iron and Vitamin C do not give any specific benefit but only add to the cost.
5.
So called slow release, time release and enteric coated tablets of iron are not justified. Since most
iron absorption occurs from the upper part of the small intestine, a large fraction of such preparations
pass out of the body unabsorbed. They are also very costly.
6.
Ferrous Sulphate is said to be the most effective, not more toxic and the cheapest of the iron salts.
The claim of superiority of other salts is untenable. However one may try Ferrous Fumarate or Ferrous
Gluconate in those patients who have high intolerance to Ferrous Sulphate.
Storage : Ferrous Sulphate is sensitive to humidity. It should be stored in tightly packed containers in dry
places.
Shelf life : Follow the expiry date on the label.

Generic name : Tetracycline ( Eye Ointment )
Common brand name : Alcycline-Eye
Presentation : Eye ointment of Tetracycline Hydrochloride (1%) in collapsible tubes of 3.5 gmi each.
Identification : Ointment with faint yellow colour.
Pharmacological Action : Tetracycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic. It is effective against a wide range of
pathogens including a variety of Chlamydia. It is highly effective against Chlamydia causing inclusion conjun
ctivitis and trachoma.
Therapeutic Uses : Use in Inclusion Conjuctivitis : Since local application with the ointment does not always
eradicate the microorganisms, additional systemic therapy with Tetracycline or a Sulphonamide for 3 weeks is
preferred in adults.
Use in Trachoma : Both Tetracyclines and Sulphonamides topically and. or systemically have proven very effective
in the treatment of trachoma. While topical therapy (with Tetracycline or Sulphacetamide) has been used, addi
tional oral administration of an antimicrobial agent (Tetracycline, Erythromycin or Sulphonamide) is now recom
mended. The most effective regimen has been Doxycycline given once daily for 40 days in a dose of 2.5 mg
to 4 mg per kg,
Other Uses : Stye ( not for curing a stye which has already occured but to prevent infection of other hair
follicles), blepheritis or blephero-conjunctivitis and simple bacterial conjunctivitis,
Dose and Duration : Dose in inclusion conjunctivitis : 4 timas a day for 3 weeks.
Dose in Trachoma : 3-4 times a day for 4 weeks.
Notes : 1 It is not useful in the the treatmant of viral conjunctivitis.
2 The eye should be thoroughly cleaned with water before every fresh application of the ointment.
3 The tube usad for one patient should not be used for another patient to avoid cross infections.
For other details of Tetracycline please refer to the Product Information Sheets of Tetracycline and Doxycycline.

ROAD
PERMIT
If goods are to be sent to partners in U. P, West Bengal, Orissa and the North Eastern States, ROAD
PERMIT IS A MUST.
CENTRAL SALES TAX
For U.P.. Rajasthan, West Bengal, Orissa and the North Eastern states, IF THE GOODS ARE TO BE SENT
BY ROAD, Central Sales Tax Registration Number ( C. S. T. Number) is a MUST. ( As of now, this is
not essential for partners from other states.)
C.S.T. Registration Number would enable partners to get 6% off on the bill (This is applicable to all
the States in India. )
The best way to find out how to get the C.S T. forms, Road Permit is to ask a Salex Tax Lawyer or a
Chartered Accountant. Alternatively, you can ask somebody (who has a 'C form/C.S.T. No. and who can
easily get a road permit) to tell you how to get it.
For LOCOST manufactured items, Gujarat Sales Tax is not applicable for outside Gujarat sales. Prices for
outside Gujarat partners are therefore lower. However for outside Gujarat sales 10% or 4% Central
Sales Tax (C.S.T.) is applicable.
On resale items (those purchased from other manufacturers ) the above is not applicable and therefore
the prices are the same.

ALLERGY, ANAPHYLAXIS & ANTIHISTAMINICS
When a foreign protein, e.g. bacteria, enters, the body,
antibodies are formed which specifically bind to that particular
type of bacteria. Antibodies are proteins often referred to
as immunoglobulins (Ig). Any substance which can stimulate
the production of antibodies is called an ANTIGEN.
When any antigen gains access to the body a specific
antibody is generated to that antigen and an antigen-antibody
complex is formed. This is the first step in a complex
series of events by which the immune system removes the antigen
and so protects us against infection.
Another important facet of the immune system is its
memory . when we come into contact with an antigen for the first
time, synthesis of antibodies is relatively slow and the conce
ntration produced is low. This is said to be the PRIMARY RESPONSE
Gn coming into contact with .the same antigen a second time,
the production of antibodies is' far more rapid and the conce
ntrations obtained are much higher. This is called the SECONDARY
RESPONSE.
Any large molecular weight foreign substance e.g. a protein
can behave as an antigen. Pollen, some venoms, some plant substa
nces etc are all antigenic.
Even drugs can behave as an antigen
after binding to proteins.
Antibodies belong to five separate classes known as IgA,
IgD. IgE, IgG and IgM. Each class has its own characteristice.
?2gE is responsible for all rapidly developing immediate type
of allergy.
When a sensitive person comes in contact with an antigen,
IgE are produced in the body. These antibodies bind to receptor
sites on the surface of mast cells in the body.
Ig^ have a
specfic affinity for the antigen which stimulated their production
initially.
When the person comes into contact with the antigen
a second time it binds to the IgE antibodies on the surface of
the mast cells. This leads to a cross linking of antibodies which
stimulate the release of histamin and other related substances
due to mast cell degranulation.
Extensive mast cell degranulation produces serious anaphy
lactic reactions through the operation of powerful mediators. In
Anaphylactic shock ~asphyxation results from bronchospasm,
pharyngeal oedema , B.P. fails due to vasodilation and death
occtrs in a few minutes. As compared to systemic anaphylaxis,
local anaphylactic reactions
(atopic allergy) to extrinsic
antigens such as pollen, animal danders etc. occrur more frequently
reactions of the allergen with cell bound IgE antibody in the
bronchial tree, the nasal mucosa or the skin release mediators
of anaphylaxis giving rise to localised reactions such a asthma,
rhiniti; of urticaria. Anaphylaxis is thus associated withaexpoure
degranulations of the mast cells and massive release of histamine
or other mediotors.

ANTIHISTAMINIC DRUGS ;
These drugs are those that block
action of histamine on varous receptors. They are of 2 types
Hl receptor antagonist; H2 receptor antagonist. Their action is
by competitive antagonism at receptor sites.
Classification of Antihistaminic drugs.
a.
Potent and sedative- e.g. Diphenhydramine, Promethazine
b.
Potent but less sedative eg. CPM , Triplenamine.
c.
Less Potent and less sedative - eg. Pheniramine, Phenindamine.
THEREAPEUT1C_USES
s
Antihistaminics are useful in the suppression of allergic
manifestations like polinosis and urticaria. They are extremely
effective in the treatment of seasonal hay fever and considerably
reduce the sneezing, rhinoerhoea, and other manifestations
associated with this condition.
Antihistaminics effectively counter the pruritus and
urticaria in atopic and contact dermatitis and that induced by
other agents. Systemic administration also controls pain itch.:
due to bee/wasp stings.
Their topical use is, however not recommended due to risk of
sensitisation,
Antihistaminics are of some value in controlling mild
blood transfusion reactions but not pyrexia or hemolysis .
These drugs are not effective in bronchial asthma and
common cold.
Antihistamines like diphenhydramine and promethazine are
used as hypnotics and rarely as sedatives.
Diphenhydramine and Orphenadrine have been found effective
in the treatment of parkinsonism. ■
Antazoline and Diphenhydramine have been employed in
the treatment of cariac arrhythmias.
Promethazine, Dimenhydrinate are employed in treatment
of motion sickness.
The choice of an antihistaminic drug would depend on the
required potency, onset and duration of action and adverse effects.
PAPERCLIP SURGERY
A Bangladesh Paediatrician has found a novel solution to
the shortage of equipment in his operating theatre. Profesor
Shafiqul:. Hoque uses paper clips instead of retractors- an
instrument which holds back the edges of a surgical incision.
During an operation the clip aan be bent into a variety of
shapes to provide big or small hook like retractors. The Hoque
invention is then used for tasks like holding open the edges of
small wounds..,, retracting blood vessels and helping in the
insertion of stitches . The retractors are made on the spot
as and when required.
Each paperclip retractor costs auamd 3 paise and an imported
retractor costs around $ 100 (Rs.1600/-)
. .3.
Hoque is not the only third world surgeon using low-cost
equipment for high- tech operations.
In Sri Lanka, Dr.
Michael Abeyaratine uses a teaspoon to help with hernia
operations on tiny babies . He places the tiny blood vessels
and sperm ducts in the spoon out of harm's way while cutting
the fragile hernia sac.
While paediatric surgeons in the west replace their
traditional instruments with ever more sophisticated and
expensive gadgets, Third World surgeons have to cater for an
expanding population of children with a minimum of equipment.
Innovation is often the only way.

I.
CEPHALEXIN - A FIRST GENERATION CEPHALOSPORIN.
Cephalexin in one among several broad range antibiotics
belonging to the Cephalosporin group. Cephalosporins
were first obtained from a mould Cultured from the sea near
a Sardinian sewage in the forties.
The accepted system of classification of Caphalosporifts
is by " generations". This is based on general features
of antimicrobial activity.
First Generation
Cephalothin
Cefazolin
Cephalexin
Good activity against
gram+ve organisms Relatively
modest activity against
gram-ve microorganisms.
Active against most gram+ve
cocci.
Second Generation Cefoxitin
Cefaclor
Increased activity against
gram-ve microrc^nisms .. but
much less active than third
generation agents
Ttird Generation.
Less active than first
generation against graml-ve
cocci.
Much more active against
Enterobacteriaceae including
Penicillinase _ producing
strains.
Cefotoxamine
Moxalactam
In general cephalosporins are well tolerated. Cepha
losporins act by inhibiting bacterial wall synthesis.
They are eliminated by renal excretion.
Resistance to these
drugs slowly, however there /problems of superinfection.
develop
esists
Patients with a history of minor allergic reactions to
Penicillin may often safely be given Cephalosporins. Rarely,
however patients allergic to Penicillin may slowly show
cross allergy to Cephalosporins. HOWEVER, PATIENTS , WHO
HAVE HAD" A RECENT IMMEDIATE REACTION TO PENICILLIN SHOULD
BE GIVEN A CEPHALOSPORIN WITH GREAT CAUTION, IF AT ALL.
In recommended doses Cephalosporins are much less
toxic and rarely produce significant renal toxicity when
used by themselves.
Large doses can couse kidney damage.
Nephrotoxicity is probably dose related and is potentially
reversible on drug withdrawal.
Chances of nephrotoxicity
are enhanced . by concurrent use of probencid, aminogly
cosides and diuretics.
USES : Cephalosporins are expensive at present and their
use is not justified if a cheaper and effective alternative
exists.
They can be used in lung, pharyngeal and soft tissue
infections caused by pgneumococei, Staphylococi and streptococci.
IF
They could also be used in urinary tract infections
other standard drugs are not suitable.
In cases of biliary tract sepsis caused by entero
bacteria resistant to other antibioties such as Ampicillin^
Cephalosporins could be used.
. . 2. .
Cephalexin is NOT useful in the treatment of meningeal
infections because of its poor penetration into CSF.
Use of Cephalosporins for Surgical prophylaxis and
in the empirical treatment of severe sepsis is 'not recommended.
ADVERSE EFFECTS ;- Some of the common adverse effects are
skin resh, allergic reactions (urticaria ) , headache,
drowsiness and dizziness Nephrotoxicity may occur at high
doses (enhanced by aminoglycosides and diuretics.
In some cases there may be severe anaphylactic reaction.
DOSE ( CEPHALEXIN )
ADULTS ;- 250-500 mg every’ 6 hours. For cystitis,
soft tissue infections - 500 mg every 12 hours.
skin and
CHILDREN s- 6.25-25 mg / kg of body weight,. For cystitis,
skin and soft tissue infections- 12.5 mg / Kg of body
weight.
ADULT Prescribing limit is 4 gm/day.
PRECAUTIONS i In Diabetics Cephalexin may cause false
test results with some urine sugar tests.
This drug should not be used concurrently with other
antibiotics such as Erythromycin or Tetracyclines.
Cephalexin is not recomnended for-use in infants
less than one year old.
Cephalosporins pass info human breast milk, usually
in small amounts. Though they have not been shown to cause
problems in humans, the chance always exists.
In patients with known allergy to penicillin the drug
should be used carefully. 'In patients .with impaired kidney
functions the drug should be used carefully as it may lead
.to nephrotoxicity.
_ ,,
NOTE;- The Capsules may be taken on emoty/full stomach.
II.
FOUR MORE DRUGS BANNED ;
The government has decided to BAN four more fixed
dose combination drugs raising the total number to thirtyone. They are 1.
Fixed dose combinations of tranquilisers (anxiolytic
and neuroleptics)' with analgesias or antipyretics.
2.
Fixed dose combinations of H2 receptor antagonist
used in gastric and duodenal ulcers with other drugs.
3.
Formulations of essential oils containing alcohol
in execess of 12 %.
Use of chloroform in pharmaceutical preparations.

DRUG COMPANIES THWART EFFORTS TO 3AN IRRATIONAL DRUGS.
M/S. Lyka, Roussel and Dey's Medical have,by misusing the
judicial process obtained stay orders against the govern
ment's ban order against Chloramphenicol-Streptomycin
combination and steroid combinations. These drugs have
been repeatedly proven to be hazardous.
The drug controller of India has banned for ;mulations
of high-dose oestrogen- Progestrone combinations which
have -been proved to be hazardous and of no therapeutic
value, on the 15th of June, 1988.
In spite of this' , thedrug companies M/S. Unichem lab and Infar India Ltd continue
to sell this thoroughly discredited drug.
We would therefore request all concerned individuals
and organisations to expose and resist these anti-people
activities of these drug companies.
IV.
SHORTAGES OF RIFAMPICIN & CHLOROQUINE
The deadlock between the government and the manufacturers
of Rifampicin raw material continues. As a consequence of
this, Rifampicin raw material is not at all available in the
market. At present we have some stock of Rifampicin Capsules
(450) mg which we have managed to get from another manufa
cturer.
We would therefore be able to supply Rifampicin
Capsules only to the extent of our ./present stock. The supply
position in the future would be uncertain and we request all
our partners to plan accordingly.
The severe shortage of chloroquine raw material
continues. The price of this essential bulk drug has gone
upto Rs. 925/Kg (Earlier it was available at around Rs.500/
Kg per ). Even at this high p<rice the availability of the
raw material is uncertain.
The raw material for which the
order was placed on 11th March has not yet arrived 3 months
later.
On our part we are trying our best to procure the
raw material but we foresee a severe shortage in this
essential antimalarial drug.
So we request- our partners
to bear with us.

News Letter No. 26/August,*
89 .
Dear Partner,
8 Hydroxy quinolines have a dubious history.
Inspite
of this, they are available freely in the market in India.
In this issue of the newsletter we would be dealing with
these.
Dr. Olle Hansson was in the forefront in bringing to
light the hazardous nature of these and some other drugs
It.wouldn't be out of place to pay a tribute to such a person.
Infact May 24th was celebrated as ’Hazardaus Drugs Day1 in his
memory.
Malaria is everybody's nightmare. The villagers of
Pudukuppam near Pondicherry have been able to wipe out this
endemic disease with their own efforts and at very little cost.
So lets see how they did it.
8 HYDROXY QUINOLINE :
borne or~~tne commonly, available 8 hydroxyquinolines are
IODOQUINOL (Diodohydroxyquin ), CLIOQUINOL (lodochlorhydroxyquin)
BROXYQUINOLINE AND CHLORQUINaLDOL.
8 Wyaroxyquinclines are directly amoebicidal they are
active against both motile and cystic forms. They act only
on amoebae in the intestinal tract and are ineffective in
amoebic abscess and hepatitis.
The are widely and indiscriminately used. The use of
these drugs particularly at high doses and for long periods is
unfortunately associated with significant risks.
Between 1956 and 1970 more than 10,000 people were left
suffering from paralysis and partial or total loss of sight
in Japan. The cause was attributed to CLIOQUINOL.
Subacute Myelo Optic Neuropathy (SMON) is a deadly
toxic reaction attributed to Clioquinol. SMON is usually
preceded by abdominal pain and persistent diarrhoea and it
proceeds to bilateral sensory disturbances, other frequent
symptoms are deep sensory, disturbances. Muscle weakness in
the legs, pyramidal signs and slight involvement of upper li. .bs.
Less common, are blurred vision 'and blindness, disturbances
of autonomic nervous system, psychological changes and the
greenish discoloration of the tongue.
Though SMON was an epidemic only in Japan, caused by use
of Clioguinolp Similar toxic effects have been observed
with other 8 Hydroxyquinolines elsewhere. Some of the other
side effects are chills, fever, mild to severe dermatitis,
anal irritation and itching, transitory abdominal discomfort,
diarrhoea and headache.
Administration of lodoquinol to children with chronic
diarrhoea has been associated with optic atrophy and permanent
loss of vision. 8 Hydroxyquinolines are inexpensive and are
effective in the treatment of intestinal amoebiasis. They are
also useful for the treatment of asymptomatic passers of cysts.
BUT, their unrestricted use in the treatment of traveller's
diarrhoea and chronic non specific diarrhoea in children is
unjustified . The benefits of the use of these drugs do not
justify the risk of neurotoxicity.
..2
Clioquinol and other oxyquinolines are also sometimes used
in skin creams and ointmeirts to treat various types of skin
rashes. Once again, their use is in doubt.
Secondly, recent
studies have shown that clioquinol used in skin creams for the
treatment of diaper rash and other skin problems are readily
absorbed into the body.
Long term application of the drugs could
lead to liver damage.
CIBA-GEIGY the company that first marketed Clioquinol
has withdrawn the drug (brand names-Mexaforrti, Enterovioform)
from the world market after intense pressure from drug activists,
the foremost of them being Dr. Olle Hansson from Sweden.
However these drugs are still marketed by several companies.
Some of the commonly available brand names areAMICLINE
CHLORAMBIN
I0D0MEGYL
AMICLINE PLUS
DEMIGYL
NIVEMBIN
ALLIQUIN
DIODOQUIN
□UGYL
GYNOSAN
INTESTOPAN
PRODERM. OIMT
DEXAQUIN ONT
These drugs are harmful and should not be used as far as
possible.
In fact safer and better alternatives are available
such as Metronidazole and Diloxanide Furoate. If they have
to be used it is essential that they be used only for the
indicated conditions and ONLY when Benefits far outweigh
risks.
------DR. OLLE HANSSON
May 24th was commemorated by drug activists in India as
Hazardous Drugs Day.
In 1985 on this day Dr. Olle Hansscnone
of the greatest health campaigners of our time passed away.
Dr. Olle Hansson was a paediatric neruologist. He was
the first to report about association of blindness with
Mexaform and Enterovioform. He disproved the manufacturer's
claim that Clioquinol was not absorbed. He helped SMON
victims obtain compensations by standing as expert witness. He
also led a boycott of 3000 doctors in Scandinavian countries of
CIBA GEIGY which finally forced it to. withdraw Mexaform and
Enterovioform from the market.
He was also mainly responsible for the withdraw" / of
the drug Tandril (Oxyphenbutazone) by CIBA GEIGY . He had
prooved that while 1036 deaths had occured due to oxyphen
butazone in the knowledge of the company, only 200 were
reported. This also ledd to changes in some marketing
practices at CIBA- GEIGY.
He continued his fight even under severe physical
disability ( He was diagnosied as having malighant lymphoma.)
When he died he was he was just 49.
People like Olle Hansson are an inspriation to others
to carry on the work of Rational Therapy and exposing vested
interests when they harm the interests of millions of
innocent people.

VILLAGERS ERADICATE MALARIA :
Villagers of Pudukkupam, a coastal village 15 kms south
of Pondicherry, have been able to wipe out malaria. This, without
spending a paisa on chemical insecticides 1 Reports say that for
the last 3 years there has not been a single case of the disease.
This was achieved through Integrated Vector Control (IVC) by
the scientists of Vector Control Research Centre (VCRC), Pondicherry.
IVC consists of closing mosquito breeding sites (Water filled
earthern pots used for soaking coconut husk used for coir making
were replaced with a soak pit covered with palm leaf lid), use
of larvae eating fish(in the pits used for irrigation), minor
engineering work ( A huge swamp was turned into a playground;
Small Pools left behind by receding backwaters were connected to
form a single large pond for prawn culture) and health education
(through door to door campaign, film shows, group meetings,
display of posters) and mobilisation of the entire community.
An innovative aspect of this programme was that aquatic
algae, which was a major mosquito source, was harvested by the
villagers and sold to Aurobindo Handmade Paper unit for the
manufacture of paper.
Malaria has thus been, eradicated from this endemic village
using local resources and at little cost to the villagers . At
the same time there have been economic benefits too.
LOCOST NEWS;
SEWA - Ahmedabad has opened a retail drug store.1LOK SWaSTHYA KENDRA1
The aim of this store would be to*
Provide low cost, rational, generic drugs to SEWA members
and the general public.
*
Provide information and guidance (including medical advice)
regarding the proper and safe use of medicines.
All this, mainly to the poorer sections of the society to
whom the cost of health care is prohibitive
LOCOST will supply them with quality drugs and will support
and assist them in other health education efforts.
The School health Programme of LOCOST for the year **
89-90
has taken off. Vijay would be handling it now as Sharifa has
left LOCOST.
We would like you to let us know whether LOCOST should stock
Disposable syringes & Needles. At Present the rates are as follows:

G. P. O. Post Box No. 134, Vadodara-390 001.
Generic Name : Chloroquine
Brand Names : Lariago, Haloquin, Resochin.
Presentation : Tab. of Chloroquine Phosphate-250 mg. (150 mg. base). Syp. of Chloro
quine Phosphate 80 mg./5 ml. (50 mg. base/5 ml).
Identification : Tablets of white bitter powder often sugar coated.
Pharmacological actions ;
(a) Antimalarial Action : Highly effective in killing malarial parasites in blood, but not
in liver; in acute malarial attack, it rapidly clears malarial parasites from blood and
controls clinical symptoms; given as weekly prophylactic dose, it prevents acute
attack of vivex malaria.
(b) Antinflammatory Action : It reduces signs of inflammation in conditions like lepra
reactions and rheumatoid arthritis.
Therapeutic uses and doses : (i ) Malaria : (a) Acute attack
Dose in adults : 4 tablets to be qiven immediately followed by 2 tablets after six
hours. Thereafter give 2 tablets for two subsequent days in the morning. Continue
weekly prophylaxis as in (b) below.
Dose in children : First day ; 10 mg/kg followed by 5 mg/kg after six hours Second
and Third day : 5 mg/kg/day as a single dose (Total ; 25 mg/kg in all).
(b) Prophylaxis : Give two tablets once in a week on fixed day (e g. on every Sunday)
to an adult Children may be given 5 mg/kg once in a week on a fixed day.
(ii)
Amoebiasis • In extraintestinal amoebisis like amoebic hepatitis, give two tablets
twice a day for first two days and then one tablet twice a day for 19 days. Alongwith
this, other antiamoebic drugs should be given. However, the drug of choice is
Metronidazole.
(lii) Giardiasis : Give one tablet daily for five days. However, Metronidazole is the drug
of choice.
(iv) Lepra reactions ; One tablet three times a day for two weeks though Clofazimine
or Aspirin is preferred.
(v) Rheumatoid arthritis : One tablet daily for 6 to 12 months or longer (periodic check
up of vision is necessary). Chloroquine is to be used when other drugs are ineffective
or when cannot be used
Use in pregnancy : Chloroquine can be used in acute attacks of malaria or for prophy
laxis Use only when clearly needed.
Use in lactation : Though safety for use in the nursing mother has not been established
and it is excreted in the breast milk. Chloroquine can be given to breast feeding mothers
in acute attacks of malaria or as a prophylactic drug.
Special note : 1. Oral tablets are adequate for treatment of malaria. Injection of Chloro
quine is absolutely unnecessary except in unconscious patients or in those who cannot
swallow. Injections have no advantages over tablets and are painful. They can cause
abscess and produce vomiting. Moreover, Chloroquine gets better absorbed when given
orally. Absorption of Chloroquine given intramuscularly is unreliable.
2
2. If after a well eisured fuil course of Chloroquine the patient fails to respond, proba
bly he she is suffering from Chloroquine r esistant malaria. In such cases give either 3
tablets of Pyrimethamine (25 mg) + Sulfadoxin (500 mg ) combination (common brand
names are Metakelfin. Maloprim. etc ) or Quinine 300 mg. four times a day alongwith
Tetracycline 250 mg. four times a day for 7 days.
Contraindications : (i) Retinal damage and visual disturbances (ii) Hypersensitivity to
Chloroquine However, its use in specific circumstances like acute attack of malaria can
be excepted.
Special precautions are necessary in presence of (i) hepatic damage (ii) severe gastroin
testinal disorders (iii) severe neu ological disorders and (iv) severe blood disorders.
Always take Chloroquine tablets after meals or milk to avoid nausea and vomiting due to
gastric i ritation.
Significant interactions : Concomitant use of Gold Salts (like in some Ayurvedic medicines)
or Phenylbutazone should be avoided for fear of dermatitis.
Adverse reactions : With routine dose in malaria : transient headache, visual disturbances,
gastrointestinal upse’s and pruritus (itching).
Prolonged treatment : prutitus, skin eruptions, difficulty in accomodation (vision), double
vision and bleaching of the hair.
(All these changes do not progress further, if the drug is discontinued).
Overdose and its treatment : Visual disturbances, hyperexcitability, convulsions, cardiac
block, depression of Vaso Motor Centre and circulatory collapse leading to death within
two hours.
Treatment : Gastric lavage (stomach wash); acidification of urine-to enhance the excre
tion by Ammonium chloride (orally) or by Di nercaprol; large doses (more than 2 gm/day)
of Vitamin C can be given. Peritoneal dialysis or haemodialysis is usually unsuccessful.
Storage information : Keep tightly packed, away from light and humidity.
Shelf life : Does not have expiry date.

of choice.
(iv)
Lepra reactions : One tablet three times a day for two weeks though Clofazimine

Use in lactation : Though safety for use in the nursing mother has not been established
and it is excreted in the breast milk. Chloroquine can be given to breast feeding mothers
in acute attacks of malaria or as a prophylactic drug.
Special note : 1. Oral tablets are adequate for treatment of malaria. Injection of Chloro
quine is absolutely unnecessary except in unconscious patients or in those who cannot
swallow. Injections have no advantages over tablets and are painful. They can cause
abscess and produce vomiting. Moreover, Chloroquine gets better absorbed when given
orally. Absorption of Chloroquine given intramuscularly is unreliable.
2
2. If after a well etsured fail course of Chloroquine the patient fails to respond, proba
bly he she is suffering from Chloroquine r esistant malaria. In such cases give either 3
tablets of Pyrimethamine (25 mg) + Sulfadoxin (500 mg ) combination (common brand
names are Metakelfm. Maloprim, etc ) or Quinine 300 mg. four times a day alongwith
Tetracycline 250 mg. four times a day for 7 days.
Contraindications : (i) Retinal damage and visual disturbances (ii) Hypersensitivity to
Chloroquine Ho/vever, its use in specific circumstances like acute attack of malaria can
be excepted.
Special precautions are necessary in presence of (i) hepatic damage (ii) severe gastroin
testinal disorders (iii) severe neu ological disorders and (iv) severe blood disorders.
Always take Chloroquine tablets after meals or milk to avoid nausea and vomiting due to
gastric i ritation.
Significant interactions : Concomitant use of Gold Salts (like in some Ayurvedic medicines)
or Phenylbutazone should be avoided lor fear of dermatitis.
Adverse reactions : With routine dose in malaria : transient headache, visual disturbances,
gastrointestinal upse’s and pruritus (itching).
Prolonged treatment : prutitus, skin eruptions, difficulty in accomodation (vision), double
vision and bleaching of the hair.
(All these changes do not progress further, if the drug is discontinued).
Overdose and its treatment : Visual disturbances, hyperexcitability, convulsions, cardiac
block, depression of Vaso Motor Centre and circulatory collapse leading to death within
two hours.
Treatment : Gastric lavage (stomach wash); acidification of urine-to enhance the excre
tion by Ammonium chloride (orally) or by Dimercaorol; large doses (more than 2 gm/day)
of Vitamin C can be given. Peritoneal dialysis or haemodialysis is usually unsuccessful.

ROAD
’
PERMIT
If goods are to be sent to partners in U. P, West Bengal, Orissa and the North Eastern States, ROAD
PERMIT IS A MUST.
CENTRAL SALES TAX
For U.P., Rajasthan, West Bengal, Orissa and the North Eastern states, IF THE GOODS ARE TO BE SENT
BY ROAD, Central Sales Tax Registration Number ( C. S, T. Number) is a MUST. ( As of now, this is
not essential for partners from other states.)
C.S.T. Registration Number would enable partners to get 6% off on the bill (This is applicable to all
the States in India. )
The best way to find out how to get the C.S T. forms. Road Permit is to ask a Salex Tax Lawyer or a
Chartered Accountant. Alternatively, you can ask somebody (who has a 'C' form/C.S.T. No. and who can
easily get a road permit) to tell you how to get it.
For LOCOST manufactured items, Gujarat Sales Tax is not applicable for outside Gujarat sales. Prices for
outside Gujarat partners are therefore lower. However for outside Gujarat sales 10% or 4% Central
Sales Tax (C.S.T.) is applicable.
On resale items (those purchased from other manufacturers ) the above is not applicable and therefore
the prices ate the same.
