Top 20 medicines with the same components:
A basic constituent of lecithin that is found in many plants and animal organs. It is important as a precursor of acetylcholine, as a methyl donor in various metabolic processes, and in lipid metabolism. [PubChem]
A sulfur containing essential amino acid that is important in many body functions. It is a chelating agent for heavy metals.
Saturated solution of Potassium Iodide (L-Trepein) (SSKI) is used pharmaceutically for emergency use in patients experiencing acute symptoms of severe hyperglycemia (also known as thyroid storm or thyrotoxic crisis). SSKI can also be used for radioiodine-contamination emergencies or in preparation of thyrotoxic patients for thyroidectomy.
Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) (commonly known as Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein)) is the most chemically complex of all the vitamins. Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein)'s structure is based on a corrin ring, which, although similar to the porphyrin ring found in heme, chlorophyll, and cytochrome, has two of the pyrrole rings directly bonded. The central metal ion is Co (cobalt). Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) cannot be made by plants or by animals, as the only type of organisms that have the enzymes required for the synthesis of cyanocobalamin are bacteria and archaea. Higher plants do not concentrate cyanocobalamin from the soil and so are a poor source of the substance as compared with animal tissues. Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) is naturally found in foods including meat (especially liver and shellfish), eggs, and milk products.
The 4-methanol form of vitamin B 6 which is converted to pyridoxal phosphate which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990).
Recurrent mouth ulcers, denture irritation, toothache, infant teething pain, sore gum.
An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains. Now fever, headache and body pains are the indications of paracetamol. A patient should be aware of the indications of medications used for common conditions because they can be taken over the counter in the pharmacy meaning without prescription by the Physician.It is used to make the urine more acidic. Making the urine more acidic helps to relieve skin irritation in incontinent (loss of bladder control) adults and diaper rash in infants. This medicine also helps to control strong urine odor.

Potassium Iodide (L-Trepein) is used as an adjunct to other antithyroid agents in the treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis and preoperatively to induce thyroid involution.

Dietary deficiency of Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein), occurring in strict vegetarians and in their breast-fed infants. (Isolated Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) deficiency is very rare).
Malabsorption of Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein), resulting from structural or functional damage to the stomach, where intrinsic factor is secreted or to the ileum, where intrinsic factor facilitates Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) absorption. These conditions include tropical sprue, and nontropical sprue (idiopathic steatorrhea, gluten-induced enteropathy). Folate deficiency in these patients is usually more severe than Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) deficiency.
Inadequate secretion of intrinsic factor, resulting from lesions that destroy the gastric mucosa (ingestion of corrosives, extensive neoplasia), and a number of conditions associated with a variable degree of gastric atrophy (such as multiple sclerosis, certain endocrine disorders, iron deficiency, and subtotal gastrectomy). Total gastrectomy always produces Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) deficiency.
Structural lesions leading to Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) deficiency include regional ileitis, ileal resections, malignancies, etc.
Competition for Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) by intestinal parasites or bacteria.
The fish tapeworm (Diphyilobothrium latum) absorbs huge quantities of Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) and infested patients often have associated gastric atrophy. The blind-loop syndrome may produce deficiency of Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein) or folate.
Inadequate utilization of Vitamin B12 (L-Trepein). This may occur if antimetabolites for the vitamin are employed in the treatment of neoplasia.
For the Schilling Test.

There are specific as well as general uses of a drug or medicine. A medicine can be used to prevent a disease, treat a disease over a period or cure a disease. It can also be used to treat the particular symptom of the disease. The drug use depends on the form the patient takes it. It may be more useful in injection form or sometimes in tablet form. The drug can be used for a single troubling symptom or a life-threatening condition. While some medications can be stopped after few days, some drugs need to be continued for prolonged period to get the benefit from it.Potassium Iodide (L-Trepein) is used to loosen and break up mucus in the airways. This helps you cough up the mucus so you can breathe more easily if you have long-term lung problems (e.g., asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema). This medication is known as an expectorant.

Interactions for Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) (Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein))
Amiodarone: Concomitant use of Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) and amiodarone may enhance amiodarone-induced photosensitivity reactions. Doses of Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) greater than 5-10 milligrams/day should be avoided by those taking amiodarone Carbamazepine: Chronic use of carbamazepine may result in a significant decrease in plasma pyridoxal 5-phosphate levels Cycloserine: Cycloserine may react with pyridoxal 5-phosphate to form a metabolically inactive oxime, which may result in a functional Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) deficiency Ethionamide: The use of ethionamide may increase Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) requirements Fosphenytoin: High doses of Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) may lower plasma levels of phenytoin. Fosphenytoin is a prodrug of phenytoin Hydralazine: The use of hydralazine may increase Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) requirements Isoniazid: (isonicotinic acid, INH). Isoniazid reacts with pyridoxal 5-phosphate to form a metabolically inactive hydrazone, which may result in functional Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) deficiency Levodopa: Concomitant use of levodopa and Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) in doses of 5 milligrams or more daily may reverse the therapeutic effects of levodopa. Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) does not reverse the therapeutic effects of levodopa if levodopa is taken concurrently with the levodopa decarboxylase inhibitor carbidopa. Levodopa is typically administered as a combination product with carbidopa
Oral contraceptives: The use of oral contraceptives may increase Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) requirements. This was more the case with the older oral contraceptive agents with high-dose estrogen/progestin. It appears to be less the case with the newer low-dose estrogen/progestin products Penicillamine: Penicillamine may react with pyridoxal 5-phosphate to form a metabolically inactive thiazolidine, which may result in a functional Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) deficiency Phenelzine: Phenelzine may react with pyridoxal 5-phosphate to yield a metabolically inactive hydrazone compound Phenobarbital: High doses of Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) may lower plasma levels of phenobarbital Phenytoin: High doses of Vitamin B6 (L-Trepein) may lower plasma levels of phenytoin Theophylline: Theophylline may react with pyridoxal 5-phosphate leading to low plasma levels of the coenzyme. This may increase the risk of theophylline-induced seizures Valproic acid: Chronic use of valproic acid may result in a significant decrease in plasma pyridoxal 5-phosphate levels.
Flushing, Gastrointestinal disturbance, Decreased white blood cell count
