Dental Drugs
As usual I check any drug that the doctor writes me (given that there are so many drugs that are banned in the USA, but being dumped in India and sold over the counter). FYI, 3 of the 6 drugs that my dentist prescribed (after I got my wisdom tooth pulled):
Zil-O (Ofloxacin, Ornidazol)
Purpose: Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It kills sensitive bacteria by stopping the production of essential proteins needed by the bacteria to survive.
Side effects: – Ofloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon, especially in the Achilles’ tendon of the heel. Known as quinolone-induced tendonopathy. The product in the USA must carry a warning of risk of tendon damage; irreversible peripheral neuropathy, QT prolongation, hallucinations, seizures, and abnormal blood sugar levels.

Aciloloc RD (Omeprazole Magnesium, Domperidone BP)
Purpose: Domperidone blocks the action of dopamine. Regulates nausea and vomiting.
Warning: “In June 2004, the United States’ main regulation agency, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), issued a letter warning women not to take domperidone, citing unknown risks to parents and infants, and warned pharmacies that domestic sale was illegal, and that import shipments from other countries would be searched and seized. There is a new controversy in Britain regarding lethal levels of sodium found in children who are administered this drug. It is now subject to a medical review following a number of criminal trials where parents were charged with child abuse by salt poisoning based on hypernatremia in the affected children.” – Wikipedia

Mausera (Serratiopeptidase/Serrapeptase)
Purpose: “This enzyme can be used to digest non-living tissue, blood clots, cysts, arterial plaque and inflammation in all forms. The uses are wide ranging and cover just about every condition that is affected by inflammation and/or non-living tissue and is in clinical use in parts of Asia and Europe.”
Side effects: nothing too severe.
