Ibuprofen
Advil, Motrin, Nurofen
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for pain relief, fever reduction, and anti-inflammatory effects. Available over-the-counter and by prescription.
Atorvastatin
Lipitor
Atorvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) used to lower cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular disease risk. One of the most prescribed medications worldwide.
Omeprazole
Prilosec, Losec, Omesec
Irreversibly blocks the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump) of the gastric parietal cell, suppressing gastric acid secretion.
Amlodipine
Norvasc, Istin, Amlong
Inhibits calcium ion influx across cell membranes of cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells, resulting in peripheral arterial vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.
Levothyroxine
Synthroid, Levoxyl, Euthyrox +1
Synthetic form of endogenous thyroid hormone T4. Converted to T3 (active form) in peripheral tissues. Binds to thyroid hormone receptors, regulating gene expression for metabolism, growth, and develop
Amoxicillin
Amoxil, Trimox, Moxatag
Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains essential for cell wall strength.
Metoprolol
Lopressor, Toprol-XL, Betaloc
Selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker. Reduces heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output, lowering blood pressure and myocardial oxygen demand.
Losartan
Cozaar, Lortaan
Selectively blocks binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors, producing vasodilation, reduced aldosterone secretion, and decreased blood pressure.
Gabapentin
Neurontin, Gralise, Horizant
Binds to alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system, reducing excitatory neurotransmitter release. Exact mechanism not fully understood.
Escitalopram
Lexapro, Cipralex
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Potently and selectively inhibits neuronal reuptake of serotonin (5-HT), enhancing serotonergic neurotransmission.
Prednisone
Deltasone, Rayos, Sterapred
Synthetic corticosteroid prodrug converted to prednisolone (active form) in the liver. Binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene transcription to reduce inflammation and suppress immune respo
Albuterol
Ventolin, ProAir, Proventil
Selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. Relaxes bronchial smooth muscle by activating adenylyl cyclase, increasing intracellular cAMP, leading to bronchodilation.
Hydrochlorothiazide
Microzide, HydroDIURIL
Thiazide diuretic used to treat hypertension and edema by reducing sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys.
Montelukast
Singulair
Leukotriene receptor antagonist used for asthma maintenance and allergic rhinitis.
Pantoprazole
Protonix, Pantoloc
Proton pump inhibitor for gastric acid suppression, used in GERD, erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Fluoxetine
Prozac, Sarafem
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and the first drug in its class, widely used for depression, OCD, and eating disorders.
Cetirizine
Zyrtec, Reactine, Alerid
Second-generation antihistamine used for allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria with minimal sedation.
Azithromycin
Zithromax, Z-Pack, Azithrocin
Macrolide antibiotic effective against a broad range of bacterial infections including respiratory, skin, and sexually transmitted infections.
Linagliptin
Tradjenta, Trajenta
DPP-4 inhibitor for type 2 diabetes. Unique among gliptins for primarily non-renal elimination, requiring no dose adjustment in kidney disease.
Duloxetine
Cymbalta, Irenka
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used for depression, anxiety, diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Simvastatin
Zocor, FloLipid
Simvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) used to lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
Rosuvastatin
Crestor, Ezallor
Rosuvastatin is a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) used to lower LDL cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk.
Atenolol
Tenormin
Atenolol is a cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker used to treat hypertension, angina, and certain arrhythmias.
Furosemide
Lasix
Furosemide is a potent loop diuretic used to treat fluid overload and edema associated with heart failure, renal disease, and hepatic cirrhosis, and to manage hypertension.
Warfarin
Coumadin, Jantoven
Warfarin is an oral vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant used to prevent and treat thromboembolic disorders such as venous thromboembolism and stroke in atrial fibrillation.
Clopidogrel
