ABSTRACT
Objective: The choice of drug for the treatment of hypertension changes at short intervals. Drug utilization studiesconducted at regular intervals help to guide the physician in prescribing drugs rationally. The present study was done toanalyze the prescribing patterns of antihypertensive drugs in a NorthIndian  hospital.

Material & method: A retrospective, crosssectional analysis of prescriptions of antihypertensive cases admitted in Medicine in-patient wards of civil hospital of Sri Ganganagar was conducted. All the prescription files with diagnosis ofessential hypertension were analyzed. Prescriptions for hypertension with other co-morbid conditions were also included. Frequency and proportions of utilization of antihypertensive medications were charted and figured.

Result: During the studyperiod, there were 435 prescriptions for essential hypertension. The most frequently prescribed antihypertensive medications were:  monotherapy (42.06%), (57.94%) of patients were on multiple drugtherapy, the most favored fixed drug combination being diuretics with angiotensin receptor blockers (31.74%).

Conclusion: The present study revealed that Angiotensin receptor blockers arethe drugs of choice as monotherapy and as combination therapy for hypertensives. This pattern of prescription is also supported by the current JNC VIII guidelines for the treatment of hypertension.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the risk assessment of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in patient on antihypertensive medication.

Material & Method: In the present study total 30 patient with essential hypertension of both sex with mean age (48.6±0.8313) were recruited as per the inclusion criteria. Patients were segregated on the behalf of therapy they were using. 22 patients were on Losartan+HCTZ therapy and 8 patients were on Atenolol therapy.

Result: After six month of antihypertensive therapy Atenolol group showing a significant difference in their blood glucose (0.0014) whereas in Losartan+HCTZ group significant difference was not observed (0.1542). Patients of Atenolol group when compared with patient of Losartan+HCTZ group a significant difference was observed in the serum cholesterol level (0.0290).

Conclusion: We found that the use of β-blocker was independently associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes. So increase in blood glucose in the Atenolol group patient revealed a significant association between use of Atenolol therapy and metabolic dysfunction whereas in Losartan+HCTZ group significant increase in blood glucose was not observed and from these we can conclude therapy with Losartan+HCTZ therapy not associated with metabolic dysfunction.

ABSTRACT
Chronopharmaceutical drug delivery systems are gaining a lot of interest as they deliver the drug at the right site of action, right time and right amount, as per the pathophysiological needs of the diseases. These systems are basically time-controlled drug delivery systems in which the system controls the lag time independent of environmental factors like pH, enzymes, GIT motility, etc. These systems are designed for chronopharmacotherapy which is based on the circadian rhythm of the body. The effectiveness and toxicity of many drugs vary depending on dosing time associated with 24 hr. rhythms of biochemical, physiological and behavioral processes under the control of circadian clock. The chronobiology of the various common 24-hour BP profiles seen in hypertensive patients in relation to cardiovascular risk and end-organ injury and ultimately the control and normalization of abnormal BP throughout daytime activity and night time sleep. Chronopharmacotherapy provides a means of individualizing the treatment of hypertension according to the circadian BP profile of each patient, and constitutes a new option to optimize BP control and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Various latest and upcoming marketed technologies of Chronopharmaceutical drug delivery used in treatment of hypertension diseases like OROS^®, CODAS^®, CEFORM^®, DIFFUCAPS^®, PULSINCAP^® etc.

ABSTRACT
Parkinsonism disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder. Degeneration of dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra (part of the basal ganglia) leads to a decreased dopamine production. The cause of the damage is unknown. The main known risk factor is age. Parkinson’s affects functional activities such as balance, walking, speech, handwriting, typing, fastening buttons, driving, and many other simple, or complex but familiar and routine activities, as they are usually controlled by the mechanisms of dopamine and the basal ganglia. This review briefly focuses on deep brain stimulation neurosurgical treatment. Levodopa was the first drug approved specifically for Parkinson’s disease. Levodopa is converted by enzymes in the brain to produce dopamine, thereby supplementing function that has been lost as dopamine-producing neurons die.Topics covered in the review includes pathogenesis, mechanism of action, side effects of medicines and neurological surgery.
