Antacids

Drugs that relieve indigestion and heartburn by neutralizing stomach acid.

Analgesics

Drugs that relieve pain. There are two main types: non-narcotic analgesics for mild pain, and narcotic analgesics for severe pain.

Antiarrhythmics

Drugs used to control irregularities of heartbeat.

Antibacterials

Drugs used to treat infections.

Antibiotics

Drugs made from naturally occurring and synthetic substances that combat bacterial infection. Some antibiotics are effective only against limited types of bacteria. Others, known as broad spectrum antibiotics, are effective against a wide range of bacteria.

Anticoagulants and Thrombolytics

Anticoagulants prevent blood from clotting. Thrombolytics help dissolve and disperse blood clots and may be prescribed for patients with recent arterial or venous thrombosis.

Anticonvulsants

Drugs that prevent epileptic seizures.

Antidepressants

There are three main groups of mood-lifting antidepressants: tricyclics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

Antidiarrheals

Drugs used for the relief of diarrhea. Two main types of antidiarrheal preparations are simple adsorbent substances and drugs that slow down the contractions of the bowel muscles so that the contents are propelled more slowly.

Antiemetics

Drugs used to treat nausea and vomiting.

Antifungals

Drugs used to treat fungal infections, the most common of which affect the hair, skin, nails, or mucous membranes.

Antihistamines

Drugs used to treat cancer.

Antihypertensives

Drugs that lower blood pressure. The types of antihypertensives currently marketed include diuretics, beta blockers, calcium channel blocker, ACE (angiotensin- converting enzyme) inhibitors, centrally acting antihypertensives and sympatholytics.

Anti-Inflammatories

Drugs used to reduce inflammation - the redness, heat, swelling, and increased blood flow found in infections and in many chronic noninfective diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and gout.

Antineoplastics

Drugs used to treat cancer.

Antipsychotics

Drugs used to treat symptoms of severe psychiatric disorders. These drugs are sometimes called major tranquilizers.

Antipyretics

Drugs that reduce fever.

Antivirals

Drugs used to treat viral infections or to provide temporary protection against infections such as influenza.

Barbiturates

See "sleeping drugs."

Beta-Blockers

Beta-adrenergic blocking agents, or beta-blockers for short, reduce the oxygen needs of the heart by reducing heartbeat rate.

Bronchodilators

Drugs that open up the bronchial tubes within the lungs when the tubes have become narrowed by muscle spasm. Bronchodilators ease breathing in diseases such as asthma.

Cold Cures

Although there is no drug that can cure a cold, the aches, pains, and fever that accompany a cold can be relieved by aspirin or acetaminophen often accompanied by a decongestant, antihistamine, and sometimes caffeine.

Corticosteroids

These hormonal preparations are used primarily as anti-inflammatories in arthritis or asthma or as immunosuppressives, but they are also useful for treating some malignancies or compensating for a deficiency of natural hormones in disorders such as Addison's disease.

Cytotoxics

Drugs that kill or damage cells. Cytotoxics are used as antineoplastics (drugs used to treat cancer) and also as immunosuppressives.

Decongestants

Drugs that reduce swelling of the mucous membranes that line the nose by constricting blood vessels, thus relieving nasal stuffiness.

Diuretics

Drugs that increase the quantity of urine produced by the kidneys and passed out of the body, thus ridding the body of excess fluid. Diuretics reduce water logging of the tissues caused by fluid retention in disorders of the heart, kidneys, and liver. They are useful in treating mild cases of high blood pressure.

Expectorant

A drug that stimulates the flow of saliva and promotes coughing to eliminate phlegm from the respiratory tract.

Hormones

Chemicals produced naturally by the endocrine glands (thyroid, adrenal, ovary, testis, pancreas, parathyroid). In some disorders, for example, diabetes mellitus, in which too little of a particular hormone is produced, synthetic equivalents or natural hormone extracts are prescribed to restore the deficiency. Such treatment is known as hormone replacement therapy.

Hypoglycemics (Oral)

Drugs that lower the level of glucose in the blood. Oral hypoglycemic drugs are used in diabetes mellitus if it cannot be controlled by diet alone, but does require treatment with injections of insulin.

Immunosuppressives

Drugs that prevent or reduce the body's normal reaction to invasion by disease or by foreign tissues. Immunosuppressives are used to treat autoimmune diseases (in which the body's defenses work abnormally and attack its own tissues) and to help prevent rejection of organ transplants.

Cough Suppressants

Simple remedies like honey and menthol soothe throat irritation but do not actually suppress coughing. True cough suppressants either alter phlegm consistency through mucolytics or block the coughing reflex using medications like codeine and antihistamines

Laxatives

Laxatives ease bowel movements by stimulating the wall, increasing bulk, or lubricating contents. They are taken orally or as suppositories, but frequent use can cause bowel dependency. These medications should be used carefully to maintain healthy and natural digestive functions.

Muscle Relaxants

Drugs that relieve muscle spasm in disorders such as backache. Antianxiety drugs (minor tranquilizers) that also have a muscle-relaxant action are used most commonly.

Sedatives

Same as Antianxiety drugs.

Sex Hormones (Female)

Female sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone develop secondary characteristics and treat menstrual or menopausal disorders. They are also used as oral contraceptives and to manage specific conditions like endometriosis or certain cancers.

Sex Hormones (Male)

Androgenic hormones like testosterone develop male characteristics and treat hormonal deficiencies. They are used in cancer treatments, while synthetic steroids are often used for body-building in sports. These medications help restore balance and physical development for both men and women when needed

Sleeping Drugs

Simple remedies like honey and menthol soothe throat irritation but do not actually suppress coughing. True suppressants work by altering phlegm consistency or blocking the coughing reflex using medications like codeine

Tranquilizer

This is a term commonly used to describe any drug that has a calming or sedative effect. However, the drugs that are sometimes called minor tranquilizers should be called antianxiety drugs, and the drugs that are sometimes called major tranquilizers should be called antipsychotics.

Vitamins

Vitamins are essential chemicals for health that often come from a normal diet , though supplements are needed for those with deficiencies or digestive disorders. Generic medicines reduce costs without sacrificing quality because they contain the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs. These affordable treatments are primarily used for chronic conditions or when doctors prescribe using generic names
