Tranexamic acid tablets (likely intended as “Tranexamic,“ a common misspelling) are primarily used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding by stabilizing blood clots.

Memantine tablets treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease by blocking excess glutamate activity in the brain. They help manage symptoms like memory loss and confusion but do not cure the condition.

Carbamazepine tablets treat epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, and bipolar disorder by stabilizing nerve activity.��Primary UsesCarbamazepine controls partial seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and mixed patterns in epilepsy. It relieves pain from trigeminal neuralgia and manages acute manic episodes in bipolar I disorder. Off-label uses include certain neuropathic pains and migraine prevention.

Sumatriptan tablets are used to treat an ongoing migraine (and sometimes cluster headache), not to prevent future attacks. They must always be used exactly as your doctor prescribes.

Tranylcypromine tablets are primarily used to treat major depressive disorder, particularly atypical or treatment-resistant cases where other antidepressants like SSRIs have failed.

Trihexyphenidyl tablets are an anticholinergic medicine mainly used to treat movement problems caused by Parkinson’s disease (parkinsonism) and to control drug‑induced movement side effects from certain psychiatric medicines .Main uses of trihexyphenidyl tabletsTrihexyphenidyl is prescribed for:Parkinson’s disease and parkinsonism: To reduce stiffness (rigidity), tremors, shaking, and excessive salivation in Parkinson’s disease and other forms of parkinsonism (like post‑encephalitic or arteriosclerotic) Drug‑induced extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS): To treat abnormal movements caused by antipsychotic drugs, such as:Tremor, slurred speech, stiffness, and slow movements (parkinsonism‑like symptoms).Akathisia (inner restlessness and inability to sit still).Dystonia (muscle spasms) and dyskinesias (involuntary movements) .Sometimes it is also used off‑label (at the doctor’s discretion) for other movement disorders or to reduce certain side effects from certain drugs .How it worksTrihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) drug that blocks acetylcholine, a chemical messenger in the brain and nerves . In Parkinson’s disease, there is an imbalance between acetylcholine and dopamine; by reducing the effect of acetylcholine, it helps restore balance and improve muscle control, rigidity, and tremor .In drug‑induced movement disorders, it counteracts the dopamine‑blocking effect of antipsychotic medicines, thereby reducing tremors and abnormal movements .Typical dosage and how to takeTrihexyphenidyl comes as tablets (usually 2 mg or 5 mg) and an oral liquid .It is usually taken 2–4 times a day, at around the same times each day, with or without food .The dose is started low (often 0.5–1 mg once or twice a day) and gradually increased until symptoms are controlled, while minimizing side effects .For Parkinson’s disease, a common maintenance dose is 2–6 mg per day in divided doses, but some patients may need up to 15 mg daily .For drug‑induced EPS, the daily dose is usually in the range of 2–15 mg, depending on the severity .Important:Take exactly as prescribed; do not skip doses or change the dose without consulting the doctor .If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered, but skip if it is close to the next dose Who should avoid trihexyphenidylTrihexyphenidyl should generally be avoided or used with extreme caution in people with:Glaucoma (especially narrow‑angle glaucoma) .Prostate problems (enlarged prostate, urinary retention) Severe stomach or bowel problems (e.g., obstruction, paralytic ileus, severe constipation) .Myasthenia gravis (can worsen muscle weakness) .Severe heart disease, tachycardia (fast heart rate), or a history of heart rhythm problems .Severe dementia or confusion, especially in the elderly .It should also be used cautiously in children, elderly people, and those with liver or kidney problems .Common side effectsCommon side effects include:Dry mouth .Blurred vision, eye discomfort .Constipation .Difficulty urinating .Dizziness, drowsiness, or feeling unsteady .Nausea, vomiting .Flushed or dry skin .Serious side effects (seek medical help)Contact a doctor immediately if any of these occur:Confusion, hallucinations, agitation, or worsening dementia .Severe dizziness or fainting .Fast or irregular heartbeat .Trouble passing urine, severe abdominal pain, or bloating .Signs of high body temperature (overheating, especially in hot weather) due to reduced sweating .Signs of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing) .Important precautionsInform the doctor about all other medicines being taken, especially:Antipsychotics (e.g., haloperidol, chlorpromazine).Other anticholinergics (e.g., diphenhydramine, some antihistamines, some antidepressants).Medicines for bladder or stomach problems.Sedatives, sleeping pills, or alcohol (can increase drowsiness) Avoid alcohol while taking trihexyphenidyl, as it can worsen drowsiness and dizziness .Be cautious with activities like driving or operating machinery, especially when starting the medicine or increasing the dose .Regular eye check‑ups are recommended, especially if there is a history of glaucoma .Do not stop the medicine suddenly; dose should be tapered under a doctor’s guidance to avoid worsening of symptoms Important noteTrihexyphenidyl tablets are a prescription medicine and should only be used under the supervision of a doctor The exact dose, duration, and suitability depend on the person’s condition, age, other illnesses, and other medicines being used

Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate the sleep–wake cycle, and supplements are used when natural melatonin levels are low or out of sync . Typical uses include:Short‑term insomnia (trouble falling or staying asleep) in adults and children .Jet lag when traveling across time zones, to help reset the internal body clock Delayed sleep phase syndrome (going to bed and waking up very late) and non‑24‑hour sleep–wake disorder (common in people who are blind) Sometimes as an add‑on in conditions like ADHD, autism, or chronic fatigue where sleep is disturbed

Gabapentin tablets are used mainly to treat nerve (neuropathic) pain and certain types of seizures (epilepsy), and sometimes for conditions like restless legs syndrome or fibromyalgia, depending on the formulation and local approval .Main Uses of Gabapentin TabletsNerve (Neuropathic) Pain Gabapentin is commonly prescribed for chronic nerve pain, such as:Post-herpetic neuralgia (pain after shingles) Diabetic neuropathy (nerve pain from diabetes) Other types of neuropathic pain (e.g., after injury or surgery) Epilepsy / Seizures It is used as an add-on (adjunct) treatment for:Partial (focal) seizures in adults and children (usually 12 years and older) It is not usually the first medicine for epilepsy, but helps control seizures when other drugs are not fully effective .Other Approved Uses (varies by country/formulation)Restless legs syndrome (RLS) – specifically the extended‑release form gabapentin enacarbil (e.g., Horizant) Fibromyalgia – sometimes used off‑label or in specific formulations Off‑label / Less Common Uses In some cases, doctors may prescribe gabapentin for:Chronic pain conditions (e.g., back pain, sciatica) Anxiety disorders (off‑label, not approved everywhere) Insomnia or sleep problems related to nerve pain (due to its sedative effect)

Eszopiclone is indicated for the short‑term treatment of insomnia, especially when a person has difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep . It works by slowing brain activity to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer .It is not meant for long‑term daily use; clinical studies supporting its use were typically up to 6 months, and it is usually prescribed for a limited period (often less than 4 weeks) to reduce the risk of dependence
