From the Guidelines
The composition of Orcerin C2 is not explicitly stated in the provided evidence, but based on general medical knowledge, it is likely a combination tablet containing Orciprenaline (also known as metaproterenol) and Chlorpheniramine. The actions of each component of this drug are as follows:
- Orciprenaline is a beta-2 adrenergic agonist that works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, causing bronchodilation and improving breathing in conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 1.
- Chlorpheniramine is a first-generation antihistamine that blocks H1 histamine receptors, reducing allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. This combination is particularly useful for treating respiratory conditions with an allergic component, as it addresses both bronchospasm (through orciprenaline) and allergic inflammation (through chlorpheniramine). However, patients should be aware that chlorpheniramine may cause drowsiness, and orciprenaline may cause tremors or increased heart rate as side effects. It's worth noting that the provided evidence does not directly discuss Orcerin C2, but rather focuses on antibiotic treatments for various infections, and therefore, the information about Orcerin C2 is based on general medical knowledge rather than the specific evidence provided 1.
From the Research
Composition of Tablet Oracerin C2
- The composition of tablet Oracerin C2 is not explicitly mentioned in the provided studies.
- However, based on the studies provided, it can be inferred that Oracerin C2 might be a formulation of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, given the context of the studies.
Actions of Each Component of the Drug
- Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria 2, 3, 4.
- Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from developing resistance to amoxicillin 2, 3, 4.
- The combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid has been shown to be effective in treating lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia, bronchiectasis, and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis 2, 3, 5, 4, 6.
- The actions of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid include:
