Viral and Bacterial Infections |

Bacteria are a group of microorganisms which lack a nuclear membrane and have a cell wall of unique disposition. Most bacteria are unicellular. Bacteria are widely distributed in the soil, water and air; parasitic bacteria live in humans, animals and plants. Sometimes bacteria cause diseases by producing poisons and toxins. Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics and other bactericides. The most common bacterial infections are meningitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, salmonella and tetanus. Products: Antibacterial and antiviral agent
Acyclovir
Oral acyclovir is used to treat initial genital herpes infections and to treat patients with recurrent (6 episodes per year) severe genital herpes.
Augmentin
Augmentin is used in the treatment of lower respiratory, middle ear, sinus, skin, and urinary tract infections that are caused by certain specific bacteria. These bacteria produce a chemical enzyme called beta lactamase that makes some infections particularly difficult to treat.
Cipro (Ciprobay)
Many common infections in humans are caused by single cell organisms, called bacteria. Bacteria can grow and multiply, infecting different parts of the body. Medicines that control and eradicate these bacteria are called antibiotics. Ciprobay (generic name: ciprofloxacin) is an antibiotic that stops multiplication of bacteria by inhibiting the reproduction and repair of their genetic material (DNA).
Ciprofloxacin is used to treat infections of the skin, lungs, airways, bones, and joints caused by susceptible bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is also frequently used to treat urinary infections caused by bacteria such as E. coli. Ciprofloxacin is effective in treating infectious diarrheas caused by E. coli, campylobacter jejuni, and shigella bacteria.
Doxycycline
Protects against bacterial infections. Bacteria are widely distributed in the soil, water and air; parasitic bacteria live in humans, animals and plants. Sometimes bacteria cause diseases by producing poisons and toxins. Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics and other bactericides. The most common bacterial infections are meningitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, salmonella and tetanus.
Zithromax
Zithromax (generic name: azithromycin) is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic chemically related to erythromycin and clarithromycin (Biaxin). It is effective against a wide variety of bacteria organisms, such as Hemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and mycobacterium avium, and many others. It is unusual in that it stays in the body for quite a while, allowing for once a day dosing and for shorter treatment courses for most infections.
Azithromycin, like all macrolide antibiotics, prevents bacteria from growing by interfering with their ability to make proteins. Due to the differences in the way proteins are made in bacteria and humans, the macrolide antibiotics do not interfere with humans' ability to make proteins.
