The scientists are trying to fight the arterial hypertension, therefore, there are many of the drugs designed for treatment of this disease. The patient can choose the drug depending only on disease and health state. One of the most effective and popular drugs for arterial hypertension treatment is Atenolol.
Clinical researches have proved the high values of the drug effectiveness. Atenolol is a selective beta-adrenoreceptor blocker in the muscular walls of the heart resulting in low pulsation, reduces myocardial contractility leading to decrease in requirement of myocardial oxygen, thence, in reduction of stenocardia attacks. It renders antiarrhythmic action, due to reduction sinus rhythm, decrease in myocardial excitability and AV-conductivity delay. After Atenolol taking, the risk of hypertensive crises and other cardiovascular diseases decreases in the patient.
Also it has been revealed that after Atenolol use, the number of the survived patients after heart attack is increased, the drug reduces frequency of ventricular arrhythmia and stenocardia development. If administered in standard therapeutic doses, the drug has less expressed effect on: pancreas, skeletal muscles, smooth muscles of peripheral arteries, bronchial tubes and uterus. The safety of the drug is increased.

HIV, human immunodeficiency virus causes HIV-infection. The last stage of HIV-infection is known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This disease carries away many people worldwide every year. Unfortunately, the medication for treatment of this disease has not been designed yet. AIDS distribution is great and the scientists in the whole world try to discover a drug to overcome AIDS. The treatment with anti-retroviral medications started in due time may stop HIV-infection progression and delay development to AIDS. The scientists have discovered some ways not to cure, but to delay the clinical course. This remedy is Atripla. Atripla is the first drug consisting of three anti-retroviral medications. The combination of three medications helps to increase Atripla efficiency and action.
After long clinical trials and investigations of Atripla the drug manufacturers Gilead Sciences and Bristol-Myers Squibb have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the USA to launch it at the market. Since July 12, 2006 Atripla is available for people and is successfully used in medicine. We’d like to consider the drug more thoroughly to understand if the drug components are good enough to fight such a serious virus.

U.S. Public Health Service stated a new recommendation for doctors concerning fighting against smoking. The act declares that the patients interested in stop smoking are recommended to use a new drug Chantix. The drug is considered to be the most effective to fight against smoking despite the probable high risk of depression during Chantix use and reveals the best values during clinical trials. The analysis of 83 clinical researches has shown that Chantix helped to stop smoking to 33 percent within half a year of the patients whereas at in placebo treatment this value was only 14 percent.
To learn the drug and its action better, read the following information about it to understand if this drug is as good as it is declared.  
Varenicline (the brand name of Chantix) has been designed by pharmaceutical company Pfizer. The first sales were in 2006. Chantix is applied as a smoking-cessation remedy for adults. In 2007 Jotham Coe (chemist who invented the drug) was awarded with the Pfizer Global R & D Achievement Award, The Award for Scientific Excellence in Chemistry and the W.E. Upjohn Award for Innovation. All this proves high efficiency and effectiveness of Chantix.

Lipitor is a drug blocking cholesterol in the body. Lipitor is applied with a certain diet to decrease cholesterol and fats level in blood. Lipitor is applied to decrease cholesterol low-density lipoproteins (bad cholesterol) level in blood and also it is used to increase cholesterol low-density lipoproteins (good cholesterol) level in blood. It is necessary to decrease risk heart attacks, strokes and peripheral vascular diseases.
Lipitor is applied when other non-medicinal ways cannot decrease cholesterol level in blood such as diet or weight loss.
Now, to understand how the cholesterol level changes in blood, we will consider action of Lipitor.
Lipitor is related to the group of hypolipidemic agents. It reduces cholesterol and lipoproteins levels in plasma due to cholesterol synthesis in liver and increasing hepatic low-density lipoproteins receptors in the cells leading  to strengthening low-density lipoproteins. It blocks mevalonic acid appearance, including cholesterol. Lipitor is quickly absorbed and reveals its action. It has been proved that Lipitor reduces risk of ischemic strokes and death of myocardial infarction.

Muscle relaxants are medications decreasing skeletal muscles tone with reduction of motion activity to full immobilization.
The muscle relaxant started its history in 16th century when the South-American Indians are revealed to use for hunting and war the poisoned arrows, poison was curare leading to death because of respiratory muscles paralysis. After investigations of this poison the scientists have found out a great effect of anesthesia that leads to surgery development. This helped to study the mechanism of neuromuscular transmission. Since 1943 the nervously-muscular blockers have known in medicine as muscle relaxants.

In psychiatry like in any other medical discipline, numerous clinical investigations of medications have been conducted throughout many years. New methods of fighting against all diseases have been searched. This work is required to provide the right selection of the exact drug for the patient, therefore development of various medications for various diseases of different people is very important. For this reason numerous classifications of psychotropic drugs for providing the doctors with certain recommendations in drug selection have been designed.
However, there are the medications actively used in psychiatry for mental disorders treatment. This is a new group of atypical antipsychotic agents, and Seroquel is related to it.
Seroquel chemically is derivative of dibenzotiazepine and by structure it is similar to clozapine. However, pharmacologically the drug differs by multireceptor interaction with a number of neuroreceptors that probably causes various aspects of its clinical effect. Seroquel is characterized by high efficiency in treatment of many symptoms of this disease. At the same time it causes fewer adverse side-effects inherent to other medications of the former generation that made the patients discontinue drug use. There are enough published works confirmed Seroquel efficiency and tolerance according to numerous clinical researches. So, during clinical investigations of the drug affecting the affective symptomatology including depression, sense of guilt, anxiety and stress, aggression and animosities, the drug has shown its excellent effect. Seroquel efficacy after the termination of the treatment course was at the top leading to good values.
