Pliva 468

What is said about Pliva 467 pills can as well be said about Pliva 468 pills. With only two amendments: the color of Pliva 468 pills is blue, the strength is 20mg each. But they are the same Propranolol, a heart-medication, one of beta-blockers. As a matter of fact, it seems to be quite convenient when you get some medicine in pills which look alike, with only a few differences, like color. The only thing you have to remember is their strengths, in order not to overdose.

Pliva 467

Let's have a closer look at a series of colored PLIVA pills, with numbers starting at 467 and coming up to 471. The first one is orange, indexed "PLIVA 467" on one side, the other side is scored. What sort of medicine do we have? It is a heart medication which belongs to the group of beta-blockers. Its generic name is Propranolol (Propranolol hydrochloride, to be exact). It is aslo distributed under some brand names that include Inderal and InnoPran XL. Pliva 467 pill is 10 mg in strength, and it is a generic version of the drug.

Pliva 434

What is said about Pliva 433 pill can as well be said about Pliva 434 pill, with the only amendment that Pliva 434 is twice more potent than the previous one. It contains 100 mg of Trazodone Hydrochloride. But they are both little, round and scored on the reverse, and only the number on the index can tell you exactly what you have.

Pliva 433 Pill

And again, the pill is little, white and round, with one of the sides scored. And only the number debossed on it may help you identify your medicine. Now, the is number is "433", and the whole index reads as "PLIVA 433". You've got enough details to come to a conclusion that it is 50 mg Trazodone Hydrochloride pill (generic for name brand Desyrel), a rather popular medication used for treatment of depression. It may also help to fight restlessness and sleeplessness, as a anti-anxiety medication. Trazodone's sedative properties may relieve chronic pain, too. In the row of Trazodone pills, Pliva 433 is the least strength available.

Pliva 430 - Metoclopramide

In fact, the medication distributed as Reglan or Maxolon is internationally known as Metoclopramide. Different pharmaceutical companies may distribute their products under various brand names. Anyway, the essential thing is the active ingredient in the drug. Name brands may change from country to country but the medicine remains the same. Pliva, Inc. manufactures its own generic version of Metoclopramide in pills of two strengths (5mg and 10mg). PLIVA 430 is 10mg pill. The pill is little, white and round, with "PLIVA 430" index debossed on one side. The other side is scored, with no letters or numbers. Metoclopramide is mainly used for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as a gastrointestinal stimulant and antinauseant.
