632 drugs · 126 classes
Blood pressure, heart rhythm, cholesterol, clots, and heart failure — drugs that change the squeeze, the pipes, the fluid, and the rhythm.
Asthma, COPD, cough, and allergies — drugs that open airways, calm swelling, and quiet the cough reflex.
Diabetes and thyroid — drugs that move sugar, mimic hormones, or replace what a gland stopped making.
Acid, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and gut inflammation — drugs that protect the lining and keep things moving right.
Kidney disease, electrolyte traffic, prostate, and bladder — drugs that manage what the kidneys can no longer balance.
Seizures, Parkinson's, migraines, dementia, and nerve pain — drugs that turn brain signals up or down.
Depression, anxiety, psychosis, mood, sleep, ADHD, and substance use — drugs that rebalance brain chemistry.
Antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals — drugs that kill or stop germs, and the resistance and toxicity trade-offs that come with them.
Anemia, low blood counts, and bleeding-versus-clotting balance — drugs that build blood cells or reverse blood thinners.
Cancer treatment — chemo, targeted drugs, immunotherapy, hormone blockers, and the supportive care that makes treatment survivable.
Pain, arthritis, gout, muscle spasm, and bone health — from acetaminophen to opioids to biologics.
Contraception, pregnancy and labor drugs, hormone therapy, and sexual health.
Skin infections, acne, eczema, and psoriasis — mostly topical, with a few high-risk systemic drugs.
Eyes, ears, nose — glaucoma drops, eye and ear anti-infectives, and nasal steroids.
Transplant and autoimmune disease — drugs that deliberately turn the immune system down, and the infection risk that follows.
Code drugs, sedation, paralytics, antidotes, and hypertensive emergencies — the fast, high-risk medications of the crashing patient.
IV fluids, potassium and magnesium replacement, vitamins, and feeding — the corrections behind almost every hospital stay.
