Methotrexate belongs to the group of antimetabolites with cytostatic activity. It inhibits the conversion of dihydrofolic acid into tetrahydrofolic acid. Thymidylic acid and purine synthesis are disrupted, which, in turn, suppresses DNA synthesis and cell division. The maximum absorption of the medicine is observed after 30 to 60 minutes. The drug is metabolized by enzymes of the intestinal microflora, hepatocytes, and other cells.
Keppra - antiepileptic drug, the mechanism of action is unclear, it does not alter normal synaptic transmission. Effective in both focal and epilepsy (epileptiform manifestations, photo paroxysmal reaction).
Betahistine is diaminoxidase inhibitor - the enzyme inactivating histamine. Stabilizing the histamine which is formed in an organism, betahistine has a histamine-like effect. Drug is effective at peroral taking (by mouth). Drug expands precapillary sphincters of vessels of an inner ear, it improves microcirculation.

Xalatan is a chemical analog of the hormone prostaglandin. It is a topical agent available in the form of eye drops with a concentration of latanoprost 50 mcg/ml. Its mode of action is similar to the one of its natural equivalent – the drug increases the flow of intraocular fluid from the hypertensive eyeball. As a result, the pressure in the eyeball slowly decreases. Since this symptom frequently accompanies various eye diseases, Xalatan is often prescribed in combination with other medicines. Today, this drug is among the high-priority agents in the treatment of such an ubiquitous disease as glaucoma.

The component of Duphalac is Lactulose. It is used as a means to decrease the content of hydrogen nitride in the blood. It is a disaccharide that is not captivated in the digestive tract. Under the action of microorganisms of the colon, the component is cleaved to form organic acids, together with acetic and lactic acids. The effect of acids on the mucous membrane of the colon increases motility. The number of proteolytic bacteria is reduced with the growth in the number of acidophilic Increasing the acidity of the environment slows down the absorption of NH3 from the intestine. It was found that Duphalac facilitates the circulation of ammonia from the vessels into the cavity of the colon.

As a consequence, a visual field narrows. Betoptic reduces both increased and usual pressure, regardless of if it occurs with glaucoma, or not; the structure of its activity is connected with a decline in the performance of intraocular fluid.
