Robitussin your Effective Treatment of Dry Cough

Dry cough is very annoying, but taking Robitussin one may get rid of it within a couple of days. The drug contains two active ingredients. The first one is Dextromethorphan, which helps to suppress the urge to cough. The second one is called Guaifenesin.

Crixivan (Indinavir)

Crixivan is a popular medicine that is known as a protease inhibitor. It prescribed for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. It slows the spread of HIV infection in the body. It is usually taken with other antiviral drugs. It will not work for viral infections or flu or colds.

Dexamethasone

Glycocorticoid hormone (hormone of the adrenal cortex, which influences on the carbohydrate and protein metabolism), with a strong anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory qualities (35 times more active that cortisone).

Trematodes

All trematode species that are parasitic for humans are digenetic. Sexual reproduction in the adult fluke is followed by asexual multiplication in the larval stage.

Cestodes

Human infections caused by cestodes, or tapeworms, may occur within the lumen of the bowel, where adult cestodes attach themselves to the host intestine (Box 1). Alternatively, human infection may be the result of dissemination of cestodes from the bowel to involve extraintestinal sites, often by larval forms of the parasite. The life cycle of cestodes is determined by definitive hosts, in whom the mature adult worm lives, and intermediate hosts, which harbor the larval forms of the parasite. Humans are a definitive host for six cestodes: Diphyllobothrium latum, Taenia solium, Taenia saginata, Hymenolepis diminuta, Hymenolepis nana, and Dipylidium caninum.

Echinococcal Infection

The normal life cycle of Echinococcus species does not involve humans. Human disease occurs when humans become an accidental intermediate host for the parasite, and tissue invasion is followed by the formation of cysts (hydatid cysts).
