| BuSpar | buspirone/ antianxiety | dopamine and serotonin agonist |
| Omnicef | cefdinir/ antibiotic | inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis |
| Lunesta | eszopiclone/ hypnotic | agonis of GABA receptors in the CNS |

| Demadex | torsemide/ diuretic | loop diuretic: blocks sodium and chloride reabsorption from kidney tubules |
| Lotrisone | clotrimazole & betamethasone/ topical antifungal | increases permeability of fungal cell wall |
| Lomotil | diphenoxylate & atropine/ antidiarrheal | diphenoxylate: binds to intestinal opiate receptors, decreases GI mobility atropine: added intentionally to prevent abuse or overdosage of the diphenoxylate (also an antimuscarinic which decreases GI motility) |
| lactulose | lactulose/ laxative | digested into lactic acid, which increases osmotic pressure. (causes water to be absorbed into the stool, and loosens stool) |
