Here is a clear breakdown of all the medications on Mrs. Geeta's medication chart (dated 14/7/26, Sanjeevani Research Centre):
Mrs. Geeta's Medication Chart - Explained
Patient: Mrs. Geeta | Age: 45F | IPD No: 134437
1. Inj. Taxim (Cefotaxime) - IV, 1g, every 12 hours
A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic given intravenously. Used to treat bacterial infections (skin, soft tissue, bone, respiratory, urinary). The chart notes also mention a Xylocaine sensitivity test was done beforehand - this is standard practice before antibiotic injections in India to check for allergic reactions.
2. Tab. Rabigut / Rabeprazole 20mg - Oral, once daily (24 hrs)
A Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI). It reduces stomach acid by blocking the acid-pumping enzyme (H+/K+-ATPase) in stomach lining cells. Commonly prescribed to protect the stomach from ulcers, especially when patients are on NSAIDs or steroids. Rabeprazole is one of the well-known PPIs alongside omeprazole and pantoprazole.
3. Tab. Etova ER (Etoricoxib Extended Release) - Oral, 400mg, once daily
A selective COX-2 inhibitor NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Used for pain relief and reducing inflammation - particularly in conditions like arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, or post-surgical pain. The "ER" means Extended Release for sustained effect. Being COX-2 selective, it causes less stomach irritation than older NSAIDs like aspirin or ibuprofen, per Goodman & Gilman's Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics.
4. Tab. Dezomac / Deflazacort 6mg - Oral, every 12 hours
A corticosteroid (steroid) with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Deflazacort is derived from prednisolone and is considered to cause slightly less calcium loss than other steroids. Used here likely to reduce swelling/inflammation, possibly post-procedure or for a musculoskeletal condition.
5. Tab. Neorelax SP / MR - Oral, every 12 hours
A muscle relaxant combination tablet. "Neorelax" is typically a brand containing Chlorzoxazone (a centrally acting muscle relaxant) often combined with analgesics or anti-spasmodic agents. The "SP" variant usually includes serratiopeptidase (an enzyme to reduce swelling/inflammation). Used to relieve muscle spasms and associated pain.
6. Inj. T.T. (Tetanus Toxoid) - IM, 0.5 ml, STAT (one-time)
A tetanus vaccine/booster injection. Given as a single immediate dose, likely because the patient has a wound or is going to OT (Operation Theatre) - as indicated by the "OT Inform" note. Standard prophylaxis for any penetrating injury or surgical wound.
Clinical Picture
The combination of medications suggests Mrs. Geeta likely has a musculoskeletal injury or infection (possibly a wound requiring surgery - note "OT Inform" and "Prepare the part" instructions). The regimen covers:
- Infection - IV antibiotic (Taxim)
- Pain & Inflammation - NSAID (Etova ER) + Steroid (Deflazacort)
- Muscle spasm - Neorelax SP
- Stomach protection from the NSAIDs/steroids - Rabeprazole
- Tetanus prophylaxis - TT injection
