Manufacturer: Highnoon Laboratories

Packing: 30 Tablets

Brand Name: Tasmi

Generic Name: Telmisartan

Manufacturer: Getz Pharmaceuticals

Packing: 14 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Telmisartan is an antihypertensive medication that belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by blocking the binding of angiotensin II to its receptors, leading to blood vessel relaxation and the reduction of blood pressure. This helps to lower and control blood pressure levels.

Tasmi (Telmisartan) 40mg tablets are commonly prescribed for the treatment of:

1. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Tasmi is used to treat hypertension in adults and children above a certain age, depending on the country-specific approvals and guidelines.
2. Cardiovascular Protection: In some cases, Telmisartan is also prescribed to provide cardiovascular protection, especially for patients at risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes.

Brand Name: Sivab

Generic Name: Ivabradine

Manufacturer: Getz Pharmaceuticals

Packing: 14 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Ivabradine is a unique medication that works by selectively inhibiting the funny current (If) in the heart’s sinus node. The sinus node is responsible for generating electrical impulses that control the heart rate. By blocking the If current, Ivabradine reduces the heart rate without affecting other aspects of the heart’s electrical activity.

Sivab (Ivabradine) 5mg tablets are commonly prescribed for the following heart conditions:

1. Chronic Stable Angina: Sivab is used in adults with chronic stable angina (chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough blood and oxygen).
2. Heart Failure: Ivabradine may be prescribed in certain cases of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, where the heart’s pumping function is impaired.

Brand Name: Rovista EZ

Generic Name: Rosuvastatin + Ezetimibe

Manufacturer: Getz Pharmaceuticals

Packing: 10 Tablets

Description and Usage:

Rovista EZ contains two distinct lipid-lowering medications:

1. Rosuvastatin: Rosuvastatin is a statin medication that works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver called HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in cholesterol synthesis. By blocking this enzyme, Rosuvastatin reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver, leading to lower levels of LDL cholesterol (commonly referred to as “bad” cholesterol) in the bloodstream.
2. Ezetimibe: Ezetimibe is a medication that acts in the intestines to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol from the diet. It blocks a protein called NPC1L1, which is responsible for transporting cholesterol from the intestines into the bloodstream. By inhibiting this protein, Ezetimibe helps to reduce the amount of cholesterol absorbed from the diet, further contributing to lowering LDL cholesterol levels.

Rovista EZ (Rosuvastatin + Ezetimibe) 5mg + 10mg tablets are commonly prescribed for:

1. Hypercholesterolemia: Rovista EZ is used to treat hypercholesterolemia, a condition characterized by high levels of cholesterol in the blood.
2. Mixed Dyslipidemia: It may be used to treat mixed dyslipidemia, a condition where there are abnormal levels of various lipids, including high LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol.
3. Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: Rovista EZ is also prescribed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, in individuals with or without pre-existing cardiovascular disease.

Brand Name: Lipiget EZ

Generic Name: Atorvastatin + Ezetimibe

Manufacturer: Getz Pharmaceuticals

Packing: 10 Tablets

Description:

Lipiget EZ combines two different cholesterol-lowering agents:

1. Atorvastatin: Atorvastatin is a statin medication that works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in cholesterol production in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, Atorvastatin helps reduce the amount of cholesterol synthesized in the liver, leading to lower total cholesterol levels and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels.
2. Ezetimibe: Ezetimibe is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor that works in the intestines to reduce the absorption of dietary cholesterol from the food we eat. By limiting cholesterol absorption, Ezetimibe helps further lower LDL cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.

Lipiget EZ 10+10mg tablets are prescribed to:

1. Lower Cholesterol Levels: Lipiget EZ is used to reduce elevated cholesterol levels in the blood, including LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol.
2. Mixed Dyslipidemia: It is used for individuals with mixed dyslipidemia, which is a combination of high LDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
