Expand Dilart CMI 30 Nov 2023
 
DILART belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRAs).
Hypertension
DILART is used to control high blood pressure, also called hypertension. Everyone has blood pressure. This pressure helps get your blood around your body. Your blood pressure may be different at different times of the day, depending on how busy or worried you are. You have hypertension when your blood pressure stays higher than is needed, even when you are calm and relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing that you have it is to have your blood pressure checked regularly.
High blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and blood vessels. If it continues for a long time, it can damage the blood vessels in the brain, heart and kidneys. This can lead to stroke, heart failure or kidney failure. High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attacks. Lowering your blood pressure reduces the chance of these disorders happening.
Heart Failure
DILART is used to treat heart failure.
Heart failure means that the heart muscle cannot pump blood strongly enough to supply all the blood needed throughout the body. Heart failure is not the same as heart attack and does not mean that the heart stops. DILART helps the heart to function better and relieves some of the symptoms of heart failure.
Heart Attack
DILART is also used to treat people after they have had a heart attack (myocardial infarction) to reduce the risk of further heart damage and reduce further heart problems.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed it for another purpose.
There is not enough information to recommend the use of DILART in children (below 18 years of age).
This medicine is only available with a doctor's prescription. It is not habit-forming.

Expand DBL Oxaliplatin CMI 29 Nov 2023
 
Oxaliplatin belongs to a group of medicines called antineoplastic or cytotoxic medicines. You may also hear of these being called chemotherapy medicines.
This medicine is used to treat cancers of the colon and rectum (colorectal cancer or bowel cancer).

Many side effects from anti cancer drugs are predictable and can be prevented or lessened. Your doctor will take all the precautions need to reduce the side effects of treatment.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed it for another reason.

Expand Sandostatin PI 29 Nov 2023
 
Expand Sandostatin CMI 29 Nov 2023
 
Sandostatin has three uses:

1. Sandostatin is used to treat acromegaly

In people with acromegaly the body makes too much growth hormone, which controls the growth of tissues, organs and bones. This leads to enlargement of the bones, especially of the hands and feet. Other symptoms include headaches, increased sweating, tiredness, numbness of the hands and feet, pain and stiffness in the joints and loss of sexual function. By blocking the excess growth hormone, Sandostatin can relieve many of these symptoms.

2. Sandostatin is used to relieve symptoms of certain types of cancer such as carcinoid syndrome and VIPoma.

By blocking hormones that are over-produced in these conditions, Sandostatin can relieve symptoms such as flushing of the skin and severe diarrhoea.

3. Sandostatin is used for people who are having surgery on the pancreas. This medicine helps to lower the chance of complications after the surgery.

Sandostatin contains octreotide, a man-made medicine derived from somatostatin, a substance found in the human body. Octreotide is used instead of somatostatin because its effects are stronger and last longer so that it needs to be given only 2 or 3 times a day.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Sandostatin has been prescribed for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed this medicine for another reason.
This medicine is only available with a doctor's prescription. It is not addictive.
There is very little information on the use of this medicine in children.
