Silva Pharmaceuticals Ltd Product List in Bangladesh

Silva Pharmaceuticals Ltd keeps a short list and spreads it wide. An antifungal, an antihistamine, an asthma preventer, a pair of cough syrups, calcium and multivitamin preparations, and an antibiotic. Hardly any two of them treat the same thing.

Because the range is thin in every direction, the grid above reads better as a reference list than as a set of alternatives. Most of what sits in it was written on a prescription before anybody came looking for it. Calcium and vitamin packs from every maker share one shelf, Vitamin, Mineral & Nutritional Deficiency, and this range has four of them on it.

Duet, and the Trouble With the Word Tablet

The analgesic on this list is Duet Tablet 65mg+500mg, filed on Arogga’s Non Opioid Analgesics shelf and carrying both of its strengths in the title.

Its name is the awkward part. Duet is also a laptop that folds, a scooter, a karaoke feature and a differently numbered medicine sold in India, and the dosage form here happens to be the same word as a consumer device. Type the brand and the format together and half of what comes back is electronics.

So match the figures, not the name. A pack that does not show both strengths after the word Duet is a different product from a different maker, whatever the front of the box says.

The Vitamin, Mineral and Calcium End

This is where the range is deepest, and where the names are closest together:

• Multi Gold Tablet — the only title on the whole record with no figure in it at all
• Multitonic syrup 300ml — the same idea as a liquid, sized by bottle rather than by dose
• Calreef- D tablet 500mg+200IU — both of its figures are printed in the title
• Calreef- DX tablet 500mg+200IU — one extra letter, and the record shows the identical pair of figures

Two names, one printed strength

The D and the DX tablets show identical figures on the record. Something separates them or they would not be registered twice, and the record does not say what. The carton does, so read it before you swap one for the other, and ask the pharmacist if the two cartons also look alike.

Both sit alongside the rest of Arogga’s Combined Multi-Vitamin & Multi-Mineral shelf, which is where to look if a prescriber named a strength rather than a brand.

Multi Gold and the tonic cover similar ground in different formats, and the choice between them is usually about who is swallowing it. A syrup suits a child or an older patient who struggles with tablets; a tablet is easier to carry and easier to count.

Antifungal Capsules, and a Number That Disagrees With Itself

The antifungal line runs under one name at what the names say are different strengths:

• Itranox-100 capsule 100mg — the number in the name and the figure at the end agree
• Itranox-200 capsule 100mg — and here they do not

Read the figure at the end

On this shelf the number after the hyphen is meant to be the strength, repeated in milligrams at the end of the title. On the second capsule the two halves of the title give different answers, and a capsule is not something to guess at.

Treat the carton as the authority and the title as a label that has drifted. If a prescription names a strength, hand the slip over at the counter and let the dispenser match it. Everything else of this class is gathered under Arogga’s Anti-Fungal collection.

Allergy, Asthma and the Chest

Part of this range is taken for breathing and for allergy, and those packs work on very different timescales from one another.

Taken when symptoms arrive

Sifena 120 tablet 120mg is filed under Arogga’s Non-Sedating Antihistamines shelf, and its name and its strength agree, which on this record is worth noticing.

Taken to prevent rather than to relieve

Silmon Tablet 10mg sits on Arogga’s Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists shelf, which is a preventive class. A tablet of that kind is taken on a schedule and keeps being taken when nothing is happening, which is exactly when people stop.

Nothing on this list is a reliever inhaler. If somebody is short of breath now, that is an emergency question for a doctor rather than a shopping question.

Cough Syrups and the Antibiotic

The rest of the list is three packs that have little in common beyond being prescribed for an infection or for what follows one:

• Respi-D syrup 130mg+280mg+40mg/100ml — a combined syrup, strengths quoted per 100ml
• Respi-M syrup (100 mg+1.1mg+14mg)/5ml — a different combination, and quoted per 5ml instead
• Cipronil Tablet 500mg — filed as a quinolone antibacterial

The two syrups quote their strengths against different volumes, so the figures cannot be compared by eye. One reads per bottle-sized measure and the other per spoonful. Dosing either of them comes from the prescription, not from the label arithmetic.

Prescription First

An antibacterial, an antifungal and a preventive asthma tablet are not browse-and-choose items. They are prescribed for a named condition, for a stated length of time, and stopping an antibacterial early is its own problem.

Finishing a course matters as much as starting one. A fungal course in particular runs for weeks rather than days, so buying a single pack and deciding later is how people end up stopping halfway.

Bring the slip, or a photograph of it, and match brand plus strength plus form. On a record where one title contradicts its own number, that is not pedantry.

How to Check You Have the Right Pack

The strength comes last

Almost every title here ends in a figure, and that trailing figure is the one to match against a prescription. Where a number also appears inside the brand word, treat it as part of the name rather than as a second opinion about the dose.

Hyphens, spaces and capitals

The calcium tablets carry a space after the hyphen where nothing else on the record does. The dosage form is capitalised on some titles and lower-case on others, sometimes for the same format. None of that changes the product, and none of it is a reliable way to tell one listing from its neighbour.

What Changes the Price

Across a prescription range the figure moves with:

• Strength — the same capsule at a higher milligram figure is a separate listing
• Format — a syrup bottle and a strip of tablets are costed on different terms
• Bottle volume — the tonic is sold by millilitre and the choice of bottle moves it
• Supply — an imported active moves a small batch faster than a domestic one

A course matters more than a unit here. Working out what a full week costs needs the prescribed dose as well as the pack, and only the first of those is on the listing. The current figure is on each product page.

About Silva Pharmaceuticals Ltd

Silva Pharmaceuticals Ltd is a Bangladeshi pharmaceutical manufacturer making finished-dose medicines for the domestic market under its own brand names. Its products are registered as conventional pharmaceuticals rather than as supplements, and much of the range is dispensed against a prescription.

Rather than concentrating on one therapeutic area the company covers several: antibacterial and antifungal agents, a non-sedating antihistamine, a leukotriene receptor antagonist for asthma prevention, combined cough preparations, a non-opioid analgesic, and calcium, mineral and multivitamin products. Formats run to tablets, capsules and syrups.

Like most mid-sized manufacturers in the country it reaches patients across a pharmacy counter and through hospital dispensing rather than through general retail. Its brand names, rather than the generic names underneath them, are the form in which prescribers and dispensers know the products.

Buying Silva Pharmaceuticals Products Online in Bangladesh

Search the brand name from the slip rather than the condition. A catalogue this spread out has nothing to browse through, and the name is the only reliable handle on it.

Where you need the same class from another maker, start from Arogga’s Antimicrobial collection and work down to the sub-shelf the prescription names.

Confirm brand, strength and form together at checkout. Any one of the three on its own will match something; all three together will match the right thing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the number after a Silva brand name mean?

It is meant to be the strength in milligrams, repeated as a figure at the end of the title. On one antifungal capsule the two disagree, so match the carton rather than the name.

2. Is the Duet listed here the same as the Indian Duet tablets?

No. They share a brand word and nothing else. The listing on this page shows both of its strengths in the title, and that pair of figures is what identifies it.

3. How do Calreef- D and Calreef- DX differ?

The catalogue record prints the same strengths for both, so it cannot answer that. Whatever separates them is on the carton, and a pharmacist can compare the two in front of you.

4. Do these need a prescription?

Most of them do. The antibacterial, the antifungal and the asthma preventer are prescribed for a named condition and a set duration. The vitamin and calcium tablets are the exception rather than the rule here.

5. What size does the Multitonic syrup come in?

The bottle on the grid is 300ml, and the volume is written into the title. Tonic syrups are dosed by spoon, so the bottle size tells you how long it lasts rather than how strong it is.

6. সিলভা ফার্মাসিউটিক্যালস-এর পুরো পণ্য তালিকা কোথায় পাব?

উপরের তালিকাতেই পুরোটা আছে — এই brand-এর যতগুলো পণ্য এখন stock-এ আছে, সবগুলো এক জায়গায়। আলাদা করে খুঁজতে হবে না।

7. প্রেসক্রিপশনের সাথে কোন অংশটা মিলিয়ে দেখব?

brand name, strength আর form — তিনটাই। নামের ভেতরের সংখ্যাটা না দেখে শেষের mg-এর সংখ্যাটা দেখুন, কারণ এই তালিকায় একটা capsule-এ দুটো আলাদা সংখ্যা লেখা আছে।
