Pharmaceutical Action :

• Phenytoin is a hydantoin in derivative.

 

Mechanism of action:

The mechanism by which phenytoin accelerates wound healing is unknown. Clinical, animal and in vitro studies suggest that phenytoin may be involved in the healing process at several levels including stimulating fibroblast proliferation, enhancing the formation of granulation tissue, decreasing collagenase activity (by reducing its production for secretion or both), promoting deposition of collagen and other connective tissue components, decreasing bacterial contamination, and decreasing wound exudates. Biopsies of phenytoin treated open wounds show neovascularization, collagenization and decreased polymorphonuclear and eosinophil cell infiltration. A number of clinical studies indicate that phenytoin decreases the bacterial load of wounds. Topical phenytoin was reported to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus, E. coil, Klebsiella spp. And Pseudomonas spp. from wounds within 7-9 days. Phenytoin more readily cleared gram negative organisms than gram positive bacteria form wounds.

Local pain relief has also been observed with topical phenytoin therapy , which topical phenytoin therapy , which can be explained by its membrane stabilizing action; the reduced inflammatory response may also contribute. Facilitation of nerve regeneration has also been reported with phenytoin .

 

Indications:

Capegard 

• Capegard is an orally-administered chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of metastatic breast and colorectal cancers. Capegard is a prodrug, that is enzymatically converted to 5-fluorouracil in the tumor, where it inhibits DNA synthesis and slows growth of tumor tissue. The activation of Capegard follows a pathway with three enzymatic steps and two intermediary metabolites, 5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5'-DFCR) and 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR), to form 5-fluorouracil.

Indications:

• It is used alone or in combination in the adjuvant and palliative treatment of gastrointestinal cancer and breast cancer.

Product Details:

Uses:

• This medication is used to treat certain types of arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis of the spine, psoriatic arthritis), certain bowel diseases (crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), and a certain severe skin disease (chronic plaque psoriasis). In these conditions, the body's defense system (immune system) attacks healthy tissues. Infliximab works by blocking the actions of a certain natural substance (tumor necrosis factor alpha) in the body. This helps to decrease swelling (inflammation) and weaken your immune system, thereby slowing or stopping the damage from the disease.
