Coumadin, 5mg, 100
What is Coumadin?
This medicine is used to treat blood clots (eg, deep vein thrombosis-DVT or pulmonary embolism-PE) and/or to prevent new blood clots from forming in the body. Preventing harmful blood clots from forming helps reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. The active ingredient in this medicine is warfarin.
Warfarin competitively inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1), which is an enzyme required to activate vitamin K in the body. Through this mechanism, warfarin can deplete the functional stores of vitamin K and, consequently, reduce the synthesis of active blood clotting factors.
Warfarin entered clinical practice under the trade name Coumadin and was approved for human use in 1954. One of the first recipients of warfarin was US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was prescribed the drug after a heart attack in 1955.
Warfarin was first registered for use as a rodenticide in the US in 1948 and immediately became popular. Although warfarin was developed by Link, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation funded the research and received a patent. Coumadin is manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Coumadin is available in the following forms: 1mg, 2mg, 2.5mg, 3mg, 4mg, 5mg, 6mg, 7.5mg, 10mg. Warfarin belongs to a class of drugs called anticoagulants. A drug class is a group of drugs that work in a similar way. These drugs are often used to treat these conditions.
Zocor, 20mg, 100
What is Zokor?
Simvastatin, sold under the brand name Zocor among others, is a lipid-lowering drug. It is used along with exercise, diet, and weight loss to reduce elevated lipid levels. It is also used to reduce the risk of heart problems in people at high risk. It is taken orally. The active substance of this drug is simvastatin. It belongs to a group of medicines known as "statins".
It works by slowing down the production of cholesterol in the body and reducing the amount of cholesterol that can build up on artery walls and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body.
It is an inhibitor of coenzyme A 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl reductase (HMG-CoA). This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, which is the early and rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis.
It is used to lower cholesterol if you have been diagnosed with high blood cholesterol. It is also used to prevent heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.
Simvastatin was introduced in the late 1980s and has been available as a generic drug in many countries since 2006. This has led to lower prices for most statins and a reassessment of preventive statin treatment.
