Drug list

Top 200 Drugs: Drug List One #1-20

Term & Generic NameDefinitionBrand NameIFUClassificationDrug StemBlack Box and ADRRoute
Lisinopril An angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used for treating high blood pressure, heart failure and for preventing kidney failure due to high blood pressure and diabetes. ACE is an enzyme responsible for producing the chemical, angitotensin Zestril, Prinivil Hypertension ACE Inhibitor -pril Black Box: Pregnancy ADR: CV, CNS PO
Levothyroxine Replaces missing thyroxine 4 (TF) hormone in people whose bodies do not produce enough thyroxine naturally CV: May cause an increase in heart rate, cardiac wall thickness, and cardiac contractility and may precipitate angina or arrhythmias. CNS: H Synthroid Hypothyroidism Thyroid Hormones NONE Black Box: Weight Loss ADR: CV, CNS PO
Atorvastatin HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors lower cholesterol levels by blocking the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver. This slows down the liver's production of cholesterol. Lipitor Hyperlipidemia HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor -statin ADR: GI, Neuromuscular PO
Metformin Biguanides decrease glucose produced by the liver, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose from food sources, and improves cellular insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization Glucophage Diabetes Biguanide (Oral antihyperglycemic agents) -formin Black Box: Lactic Acidosis ADR: GI, Diarrhea PO
Simvastatin HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors lower cholesterol levels by blocking the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver. This slows down the liver's production of cholestero Zocor Hyperlipidemia HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors -statin ADR: CV, CNS PO
Omeprazole The enzyme Hydrogen-Potassium ATPase present in the stomach maintains the acidity of gastric secretions. PPIs block the enzyme Hydrogen-Potassium ATPase thereby reducing stomach acidity Priolosec Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Proton Pump Inhibitor -prazole ADR: Carcinoma, C-Diff PO
Amlodipine Antiarrhythmic that dilates arteries and decreases heart rate = lower blood pressure and decreases work load of the heart. Norvasc Hypertension Ca+ Channel Blocker -dipine ADR: CV, Respiratory PO
Metoprolol Work by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. Beta blockers cause your heart to beat more slowly and with less force, which lowers blood pressure. Lopressor, Toprol-XL Hypertension Beta Blocker -olol Black Box: CV ADR: CV, Dermatologic PO
Acetaminophen + Hydrocodone Mimic the action of naturally occurring opiods in the body (i.e., endorphins). They bind to receptor sites and decrease the amount of pain signals received by the CNS which results in decreased pain sensation. Vicodin, Lortab, Norco Pain Opioid Analgesic - Black Box: Respiratory Depression ADR: CV, CNS PO
Albuterol Beta-2 Adrenergic Agonists stimulate beta-2 receptor sites in the sympathetic nervous system and result in bronchial dilation. Dilated bronchial tubes = better air movement in/out of the lungs. This helps reduce asthma symptoms and increases oxyg ProAir, Proventil, Ventolin Bronchoconstriction, Asthma Beta-2 Agonist -terol ADR: Respiratory, CNS Inhaled
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) Thiazide diuretic that lowers blood pressure by increasing urinary excretion of Na+, K+ and H20. Less fluid & electrolytes within the circulatory system = less pressure on the walls of blood vessels = lower BP Have a longer duration than lo Microzide, HYdrodiuril Hypertension Diuretic (Thiazide) -thiazide ADR: CV, Endocrine PO
Losartan ARBs block angiotensin II from attaching to receptor sites and causing vasoconstriction which increases blood pressure (BP). Cozaar Hypertension Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) -sartan Black Box: Fetal Toxicity ADR: Respiratory PO
Gabapentin Anticonvulsants delay the movement of sodium or calcium crossing neural membranes, which slows the activity of neurons and calms cells = suppresses the CNS Neurontin Seizures Anticonvulsant -gab- ADR: CNS, Viral Infection PO
Sertraline SSRIs block the receptors involved in the reuptake of neurotransmitter serotonin. This leaves more of the chemical available for continued use by the brain. Serotonin – acts as a “feel good chemical.” Regulates emotional responses and mood. Zoloft Depression Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor -ine* Black Box: Suicidal Thoughts ADR: CNS, GI PO
Furosemide Loop diuretics lower blood pressure by increasing urinary excretion of Na+, K+, and H20. • Less fluid & electrolytes within the circulatory system = less pressure on the walls of blood vessels = lower BP • Have a short duration within the body • Lasix Hypertension Diuretic (Loop) -semide Black Box: Electrolyte Loss ADR: CV, Endocrine PO
Acetaminophen Analgesics inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, which help to transmit pain signals to the brain and induce fever during infection/injury Tylenol, Actamin Pain & Fever Non-narcotic Analgesic, and Antipyretic NONE Black Box: Hepatotoxicity ADR: Endocrine, Renal PO
Atenolol Work by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. Beta blockers cause your heart to beat more slowly and with less force, which lowers blood pressure. Tenormin Hypertension Beta Blocker -olol Black Box: Abrupt Withdrawal ADR: CV, CNS PO
Pravastatin HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors lower cholesterol levels by blocking the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver. This slows down the liver's production of cholesterol. Pravachol Hyperlipidemia HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor -statin ADR: CV, CNS PO
Amoxicillin Penicillin antibiotics stop bacterial infections by inhibiting enzymes involved in the final step of the of the bacteria’s cell wall formation. Without a functioning cell wall, the bacteria dies and the infection subsides. Amoxil Bacterial Infections Antibiotic (Penicillin) -cillin ADR: CV, GI PO
Fluoxetine SSRIs block the receptors involved in the reuptake of neurotransmitter serotonin. This leaves more of the chemical available for continued use by the brain. Serotonin – acts as a “feel good chemical.” Regulates emotional responses and mood Prozac Depression Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) -ine* Black Box: Suicidal Thoughts ADR: CNS, GI PO
