-
Antiviral

-
Beta2 agonist
treatment for asthma (inhalation)
-
Anti-gout agent
gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the body, caused by some cancer medications and kidney stones
-
Benzodiazapines (BZD)
treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks, decreases abnormal excitement in brain.
-
Tricyclic antidepressant
treats depression, works by increasing the amount of chemicals in the brain needed to maintain mental balance.
-
Calcium Channel Blocker (antihypertensive)
treats high BP and chest pains, relaxes the blood vessels.
-
ADHD agent
treats ADHD or narcolepsy
-
Antineoplastic (nonsteroidal aromatase
inhibitor)
treats breast cancer, stops the growth of cancer cells that need estrogen to grow.
-
Atypic antipsychotic
used to treat episodes of mania and depression, normalizes levels of chemicals in brain
-
Antihyperlipidemic (HMGCoA reductase inhibitor)
lowers cholesterol levels, slows the production of cholesterol in the body.
-
Skeletal-muscle relaxant (GABA analog)
acts on the spinal cord nerves and decreases the number and severity of muscle spasms.
-
Antitussive
treats coughs by reducing the cough reflex in the lungs.
-
Corticosteroid
antiasthmatic
-
Loop diuretic
- acts on the ascending loop of Henle in the kidney.
- They are primarily used in medicine to treat hypertension and edema often
- due to congestive heart failure or renal insufficiency. Increases urine amount = less water in blood = decrease in blood volume.
-
Cephalosporin antibiotic
kills bacterial infections
-
NSAID (COX2 inhibitor)
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relievers. COX-2 gene associated with cancer
-
antiarrhythmic agent (class I)
interfere with the sodium channel. Class I agents are grouped by what effect they have on the Na+ channel, and what effect they have on cardiac action potentials. (have a, b, c)
-
antiarrhythmic agent (class II)
conventional beta blockers. They act by blocking the effects of catecholamines at the β1-adrenergic receptors, thereby decreasing sympathetic activity on the heart.
-
antiarrhythmic agent (class IV)
slow calcium channel blockers. They decrease conduction through the AV node, and shorten phase two (the plateau) of the cardiac action potential.
-
antiarrhythmic agent (class III)
predominantly block the potassium channels, thereby prolonging repolarization.[5] Since these agents do not affect the sodium channel, conduction velocity is not decreased.
-
anthelmintic
treats worms
-
antipyretic
reduces fever
-
antiemetic
treats nausea and vomiting due to motion sickness or drugs used for chemo
-
ACE Inhibitor
- Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor.
- Treatment of hypertension
-
hypokalemia
decreased plasma potassium concentration
-
cardiac glycoside
- treatment of cardiac arrest.
- increases cardiac output by increasing the force of contraction by increasing intracellular calcium
