Novatek Pharmaceuticals Product List in Bangladesh

Novatek Pharmaceuticals on Arogga is a short prescription list rather than a wide one. It covers a calcium tablet and a combined vitamin tablet, an antifungal in capsule and tablet form, an allergy tablet, an asthma-prevention tablet and a slow-release anti-inflammatory.

You can see what is in stock in the grid above and open any product for its full composition, strength and pack size. For the wider shelf, browse Arogga’s Vitamin, Mineral & Nutritional Deficiency collection.

Novatek, Novatech and Novotech

The company name is spelled several ways in search, and a meaningful share of the people who reach this list arrive on one of the variants rather than on the registered spelling.

Novatech with a letter H, Novotech with an O, and Novatec without the K all point at the same manufacturer. In Bangla it appears as নোভাটেক ফার্মাসিউটিক্যালস, and the product-list form নোভাটেক ফার্মাসিউটিক্যালস পণ্যের তালিকা is asked in Bangla often enough to be worth naming here. If you arrived on one of those spellings and were not certain this was the right company, it is.

Calcium and Vitamin Tablets

Oscoral D

Oscoral D tablet 500mg+200IU is a mineral-and-vitamin combination, filed under mineral preparations. Two figures in a name mean two actives, and the IU unit at the end belongs to the vitamin rather than to the mineral.

Orgabion

Orgabion tablet 200mcg+200mg+100mg is a combined vitamin preparation carrying three actives at three different strengths, which is why the name reads as a sum.

The Antifungal

The same antifungal is listed in two forms at two strengths, and the difference is not a brand difference:

Itcon 100 capsule

Itcon 100 capsule 100mg is the capsule, filed under antifungal and under subcutaneous mycoses.

Itcon 200 tablet

Itcon 200 tablet 200mg is the tablet at the higher strength, on the same shelves.

Antifungal courses are prescribed by strength and by duration together, and the two are not interchangeable by arithmetic. A prescription naming one of these is naming that one.

Allergy and Asthma

Furia 180

Furia 180 tablet 180mg sits under non-sedating antihistamines, which is the group that treats allergy symptoms without the drowsiness older antihistamines carry.

Nozma 10

Nozma 10 Tablet 10mg is filed under asthma prophylaxis and leukotriene receptor antagonists. Prophylaxis means prevention: it is a medicine taken regularly to reduce how often attacks happen, not one taken during an attack.

That distinction matters more than almost anything else on this page. A preventer and a reliever inhaler do different jobs, and nothing in this list replaces a reliever.

The Slow-Release Anti-Inflammatory

Orcenac SR 200 tablet 200mg is filed under anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic medicines, on the osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis shelf.

The letters SR mean sustained release: the tablet is built to release its active slowly over hours, which is why it is taken less often than an immediate-release version of the same strength. A sustained-release tablet should not be split or crushed, because doing so defeats the mechanism and delivers the whole dose at once.

Reading a Strength on a Pack

Most of the confusion on a pharmacy shelf comes from the numbers rather than from the names:

• A single figure — one active at that strength, and the number is usually repeated in the brand name.
• Figures joined by a plus — a combination, listed in the order the actives appear in the composition.
• mcg against mg — a thousandfold apart, and easy to misread when both appear in one name.
• IU — an activity unit used for some vitamins, which cannot be converted to milligrams by eye.
• SR, CR or XR — a release mechanism, not a strength.

Why the Same Medicine Has Several Names

Every medicine has a generic name, which is the molecule, and a brand name, which is what the manufacturer calls its version. A prescription may use either, and a pharmacist can usually tell you which generic a brand name belongs to.

This is why a doctor’s note and a pack can look like different medicines when they are not, and also why two packs that look different can be the same thing. The generic name is printed on every pack, usually in smaller type under the brand name, and that is the line to compare.

It is also why substituting on your own is risky. Two brands of one generic are usually equivalent; two brands that merely sound alike are not, and the names on this shelf are close enough to each other that a glance is not enough.

Prescription Medicine, and What That Means Here

Almost everything on this list is prescription medicine. The strength, the schedule and the length of the course are decided by a doctor who knows what else you take, and none of those decisions can be made from a product page.

If you are reading this because a prescription named one of these and you want to confirm you have the right pack, compare the generic name and the strength rather than the brand name alone. If you are reading it to work out whether to take something, that is a question for a doctor or a pharmacist.

Storing Medicine in This Climate

Heat and humidity shorten the usable life of a tablet, and a bathroom cabinet is the worst place in most homes for both. A dry cupboard away from the kitchen and the window is better than anywhere near water.

Keep tablets in their blister until they are taken. The foil is a moisture barrier, and a strip cut up and loose in a bag absorbs damp long before the printed date arrives.

Signs a pack should go to a pharmacist rather than into anyone:

• A capsule that has gone soft or sticky — it has taken up moisture.
• A tablet that has changed colour — or developed spots or a powdery surface.
• A blister that has been opened and resealed — or a strip with no printed batch and date left on it.
• Anything loose in a bag or a tin — once tablets are mixed, the names are gone.

Keeping the carton matters for the same reason. It carries the batch number and the expiry, and without it a strip halfway through its life is hard to place.

Finishing What Was Prescribed

An antifungal course and a preventer tablet have the same awkward property: they are supposed to be continued after you feel better.

Stopping an antifungal early is how a partly treated infection comes back, and stopping a preventer because there have been no symptoms is how the symptoms return. Neither is a judgement to make at home. If a medicine is causing a problem, the answer is a call to the prescriber rather than quietly stopping.

What Changes the Price

Across a prescription list, price moves on:

• Strength — the milligram figure, which is usually in the brand name.
• Form — a capsule and a tablet of the same active are made differently.
• Release mechanism — a sustained-release tablet costs more to make than an immediate-release one.
• Pack size — the number of units in the strip or bottle.

The antifungal shows the first two at once: the same medicine appears as a capsule at one strength and as a tablet at another. Those are not two options for the same prescription, so the price difference between them is not a choice a patient makes.

The grid above carries what each listing costs today, on the pack it is sold in.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need a prescription for these?

Almost all of this list is prescription medicine. The strength and the course length are decided by a doctor, not from a product page.

2. What does SR mean in a product name?

Sustained release. The tablet lets its active out slowly over hours, which is why it is taken less often. It should not be split or crushed.

3. What is the difference between the 100mg capsule and the 200mg tablet?

Strength and form. They are not interchangeable by arithmetic, and a prescription naming one is naming that one.

4. What does prophylaxis mean on an asthma medicine?

Prevention. It is taken regularly to reduce how often attacks happen, and it does not replace a reliever inhaler during one.

5. How should tablets be stored at home?

Dry, cool and in their blister until taken. A bathroom cabinet is the worst option in most homes because of the humidity.

6. নোভাটেক, নোভাটেক আর নোভোটেক কি একই কোম্পানি?

হ্যাঁ, একই। ইংরেজিতে Novatek, Novatech, Novotech — বানান আলাদা হলেও কোম্পানি একটাই। বাংলায় নোভাটেক ফার্মাসিউটিক্যালস নামে খোঁজা হয়।

7. ডাক্তারের প্রেসক্রিপশন ছাড়া এগুলো নেওয়া যাবে?

না। এই তালিকার প্রায় সবই প্রেসক্রিপশন ওষুধ। মাত্রা আর কতদিন খেতে হবে — দুটোই ডাক্তার ঠিক করে দেবেন।

8. ভালো লাগলে কোর্স মাঝপথে বন্ধ করা যায়?

না। অ্যান্টিফাঙ্গাল কোর্স মাঝপথে বন্ধ করলে সংক্রমণ ফিরে আসে। সমস্যা হলে নিজে বন্ধ না করে প্রেসক্রাইব করা ডাক্তারকে জানান।
