-DruG & Me-

Everyone of us use drug in our life. Drug doesnt mean it should be medicines only. It also could be supplements, ointments, cosmetics and many more. And so do me,i used this three products(also medicine) in my life frequently which is Vaseline Petroleum Jelly, Vaseline Body Lotion & Decondine Tablet.

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

    It is a mixture of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes. When blended together, it creates something remarkable. It is a smooth jelly that has a melting point just above the body temperature. A a result, it melts into skin, flows into the spaces between cells and the gaps in our lipid barrier. Once there, it re-solidifies, locking itself in place. 

    It is colorless, or of a pale yellow color, translucent, and devoid of taste and smell when pure. It does not oxidize on exposure to the air and is not readily acted on by chemical reagents.Vaseline is insoluble in water and soluble in dichloromethane, chloroform, benzene, diethyl ether, carbon disulfide and turpentine oil. It is a mixture of different length chains of carbon molecules containing between 20 and 25 carbon atoms. These are considered long chained hydrocarbons. Since Vaseline is a mixture of mineral oil,its difficult really see its chemical structure.
   Vaseline have two main functions. Firstly, it protects skin from the effects of weather and exposure. Second, it acts like a sealant to help keep the inside world in. It forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements, enabling skin-softening moisture to build up naturally from inside the skin itself. 

    Vaseline Petroleum Jelly has help me alot in keeping my lips moisten. I use it everday to prevent my lips from drying and it really works. Whenever I have dried and  bleeding lips,one thing that I look up for is my vaseline. Just in few hours,it will heal my lips. It also gives a 'glossy' appearance which makes lips looks moisten.

   It is a multi-vitamin moisturizer. It replenishes 100% of daily hydration, along with the essential nutrients that skin needs to be vibrant and feel healthy every day. It contains Vitamins A, E, & minerals which is essential skin nutrients that we need. Besides, it also has conditioning moisturizers which provide 100% of daily hydration.

   This lotion keeps my skin hydrated and smooth all day long as my skin gets dried when I spend most of my day in the air-cond. As a conclusion, my skin looks DEAD without VASELINE! Its with me wherever I go. Not only that, vaseline product is very cheap and its affordable compared to other brand. So guys, have a try if u guys have dry skins. :)

Decondine

   It is a Cough and Cold preparation which is manufactured by Sunward. It is indicated for nasal & respiratory congestion, common cold, acute sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. A tablet of decondine contains Triprolidine HCl-2.5mg and Pseudoephedrine HCl-60mg. 

  

Triprolidine,

Is an over-the-counter antihistamine with anticholinergic properties. It is used to combat the symptoms associated with allergies and is sometimes combined with other cold medications designed to provide general relief for flu-like symptoms. Like many over-the-counter antihistamines, the most common side effect is drowsiness. Triprolidine is a quick acting drug that can clear congestion and stop runny noses in 15-30 minutes.

The salts pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine sulfate are found in many over-the-counter preparations either as a single ingredient or, more commonly, in combination with antihistamines, guaifenesin, dextromethorphan, paracetamol, and/or NSAIDs.

(S,S)-2-methylamino-1-phenylpropan-1-ol / Pseudoephedrine

Side effects of decondine are dryness of mouth, nose & throat; sedation, sleepiness, dizziness, disturbed coordination. The dosage of this tablet for adults and children is 1tab/tds. However,its a different story for me. I have to take 2tabs each time to get the effect of the medicine as i got tolerance with this medicine. I consume it frequently as I'm having sinusitis and this is the cause i got tolerance. My day will be like HELL if i dont have decondine whenever i get flu. 

     These are the DRUGS that i need in order for me to  Stay and Look Healthy.
