Properties: 
Paracetemol is the chief metabolite of anilline derivatives (phenacetin & acetanitide) probably accounts for their analgesic effect 
Paracetamol exerts its analgesic action by raising the threshold of response to pain stimuli by interfering with thir relay from the thalamus to the cortex, other forms of sensations however remain completely unaffected. Like salicylates Paramol has antipyretic action, causes depletion of ascorbic acid from the adrenal cortex and reduces inflammatory changes but has no anti-rheumatic effect, 
Paracetamol is similar in itS analgesic & antipyretic effect to acetyl - salicytic acid but its free from the gastric irritant side effect induced by the later. 
Indications and usage: 1- Pain of somatic origin, e.g.: headache, toothache, pain arising from the muscuto- Skeletal system, etc. And as an analgesic in rheumatic diseases.

4-As a suitable allemative to patients sensitive to ecetyl- salicylic acid.

Epimag

Epimag For The Medical Profession Only EPIMAG® Effervescent Powder Composition: Each 5 gm sachet contains: Magnesium citrate 2.125 g Properties: Magnesium ions inhibit formation of calcium oxalate crystals by combination with exogenous dietatric oxalate thus preventing formation of renal crystalluria. The citrate ions render urine alkaline so that urates may dissolve and are easily eliminated. Also, citrate ions, by chelating calcium ions, inhibit formation of calcium oxalate. Therefore, magnesium citrate may be prescribed to prevent recurrence of calcium oxalate kidney stones. Magnesium citrate is an osmotic laxative. Pharmacokinetics: Oral magnesium salts, including citrate, are generally very slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. They are excreted rapidly in the urine (absorbed fraction) and the faeces (unabsorbed fraction). Indications: • Cases of oxaluria. • Mild laxative to relieve constipation. Dosage and Administration: The contents of o...
