Azelastine, a phthalazine derivative, is an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer. Azelastine is oxidatively metabolized to the principal active metabolite, desmethylazelastine, by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system. It is indicated for the relief of the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis and perennial allergic rhinitis. The most common adverse reactions are: pyrexia, dysgeusia, nasal discomfort, epistaxis, headache, sneezing, fatigue, somnolence, upper respiratory infection, cough, rhinalgia, vomiting, otitis media, contact dermatitis, and oropharyngeal pain. Concurrent use of Azelastine with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants should be avoided because reductions in alertness and impairment of central nervous system performance may occur.

Iodixanol (brand name VISIPAQUE) is an iodine-containing nonionic dimeric hydrophilic contrast agent for intravascular (intravenous and intra-arterial) use during coronary angiography. Pharmacodynamics studies indicated that iodixanol had fewer cardiovascular effects, caused less renal damage and were associated with similar or smaller changes to the blood-brain barrier and neurological function when compared with nonionic contrast media. It is known, that the organic iodine compounds attenuate x-rays as they pass through the body, thereby allowing the body structures containing iodine to be delineated in contrast to those structures that do not contain iodine. The degree of opacity produced by these compounds is directly proportional to the total amount (concentration and volume) of the iodinated contrast agent in the path of the x-rays. Thus, after intravascular administration, iodixanol makes opaque those internal structures in its path of flow, allowing their visualization until significant hemodilution and elimination occur.

Cidofovir is an antiviral nucleotide analogue with significant activity against cytomegalovirus (CMV) and other herpesviruses. Cidofovir suppresses cytomegalovirus (CMV) replication by selective inhibition of viral DNA synthesis. Biochemical data support selective inhibition of CMV DNA polymerase by cidofovir diphosphate, the active intracellular metabolite of cidofovir. Incorporation of cidofovir into the growing viral DNA chain results in reductions in the rate of viral DNA synthesis. Cidofovir is indicated for the treatment of CMV retinitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Adapalene is a topical retinoid primarily used in the treatment of acne and is used (off-label) to treat keratosis pilaris as well as other skin conditions. Galderma currently markets it under the trade names Differin in some countries, and Adaferin in India. Adapalene acts on retinoid receptors. Biochemical and pharmacological profile studies have demonstrated that adapalene is a modulator of cellular differentiation, keratinization, and inflammatory processes all of which represent important features in the pathology of acne vulgaris. Mechanistically, adapalene binds to specific retinoic acid nuclear receptors but does not bind to the cytosolic receptor protein. Although the exact mode of action of adapalene is unknown, it is suggested that topical adapalene normalizes the differentiation of follicular epithelial cells resulting in decreased microcomedone formation.

Meropenem (generic name: meropenem hydrate) is a carbapenem antibiotic for injection showing a strong antibacterial activity to a wide range of bacteria strains from Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria to anaerobic bacteria. It is used as single agent therapy for the treatment of the following infections: complicated skin and skin structure infections due to Staphylococcus aureus (b-lactamase and non-b-lactamase producing, methicillin-susceptible isolates only), Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, viridans group streptococci. This drug also used in case of Intra-abdominal Infections for the treatment complicated appendicitis and peritonitis caused by viridans group streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteroides fragilis, B. thetaiotaomicron, and Peptostreptococcus species. In addition is used the treatment of bacterial meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae (b-lactamase and non-b-lactamase-producing isolates), and Neisseria meningitides. The bactericidal activity of meropenem results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis. Meropenem readily penetrates the cell wall of most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to reach penicillin-binding-protein (PBP) targets. Its strongest affinities are toward PBPs 2, 3 and 4 of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and PBPs 1, 2 and 4 of Staphylococcus aureus. Meropenem has significant stability to hydrolysis by β-lactamases, both penicillinases and cephalosporinases produced by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Meropenem should not be used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE). Meropenem product with such superior effectiveness and safety has been approved for marketing by 100 countries or more in the world (as of March 2004) since its first launch in Italy in 1994.

Nevirapine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (nNRTI) with activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). HIV-2 RT and eukaryotic DNA polymerases (such as human DNA polymerases alpha, beta, or sigma) are not inhibited by nevirapine. Nevirapine is, in general, only prescribed after the immune system has declined and infections have become evident. It is always taken with at least one other HIV medication such as Retrovir or Videx. The virus can develop resistance to nevirapine if the drug is taken alone, although even if used properly, nevirapine is effective for only a limited time. Nevirapine binds directly to reverse transcriptase (RT) and blocks the RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities by causing a disruption of the enzyme's catalytic site. The activity of nevirapine does not compete with template or nucleoside triphosphates. Nevirapine is used for use in combination with other antiretroviral drugs in the ongoing treatment of HIV-1 infection.

Acitretin is all-Trans-9-(4-methoxy-2, 3, 6¬ trimethylphenyl)-three, 7-dimethyl-2, 4, 6, 8-nonatetraenoic acid. It is a metabolite of exterminate and is related to both retinoic acid and retinol (vitamin A). It is taken orally, and is typically used for psoriasis. The mechanism of action of is unknown. However it is believed to work by targeting specific receptors (retinoid receptors such as RXR and RAR) in the skin, which help normalize the growth cycle of skin cells. Studies on nuclear retinoic acid receptors have shown that acitretin activates all 3 receptor subtypes (RAR-alpha, -beta, and -gamma) without measurable receptor binding; this paradox remains unexplained.

Nisoldipine is a 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative with an outstanding vascular selectivity. As a specific calcium antagonist, it shortens the action potential and causes electromechanical uncoupling in ventricular myocardium. However, this effect, resulting in a negative inotropic action, appears at 100–1000 times higher concentrations of nisoldipine in comparison with its inhibition of calcium-dependent vascular contractions. Detailed analyses of pharmacological effects revealed additional properties such as enhancement of sodium excretion, an interaction with the reninangiotensin-aldosterone system and a protective effect against acute renal ischaemia, that may contribute to its therapeutic efficacy. Nisoldipine was developed at Bayer then licensed to Zeneca and marketed in the United States as SULAR. SULAR is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. The mechanism of the therapeutic effect of nisoldipine is complex. It involves a decrease of the total peripheral vascular resistance (reduction of afterload) and an increase in coronary blood flow. Moreover, nisoldipine obviously normalises the impaired volume homoeostasis by improving renal function and thus reduces the need for activation of the ANP system. In the advanced stages of hypertension, nisoldipine prevents deleterious calcium overload and the resulting tissue damage.

Iopromide is a molecule used as a contrast medium. It is a low osmolar, non-ionic contrast agent for intravascular use. It is commonly used in radiographic studies such as intravenous urograms, brain computer tomography (CT) and CT pulmonary angiograms (CTPAs). It appears to increase the risk of biguanide induced lactic acidosis. Interleukins are associated with an increased prevalence of delayed hypersensitivity reactions after iodinated contrast agent administration. Most common adverse reactions (>1%) are headache, nausea, injection site and infusion site reactions, vasodilatation, vomiting, back pain, urinary urgency, chest pain, pain, dysgeusia, and abnormal vision.
