Term & Generic NameDefinitionClassificationIFURouteDrug StemADR & Black BoxBrand Name
Citalopram • 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 Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) Depression PO -talopram* ADR: CNS, GI Black Box: Suicidal Thoughts Celexa
Trazodone 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. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Depression PO None ADR: CNS, GI Black Box: Suicidal Thoughts Desyrel
Alprazolam • Produces a calming effect that ranges from mild sedation to coma by enhancing the effects of neurotransmitter GABA (calming chemical) in the brain. Benzodiazepine Anxiety PO -zolam ADR: CNS Black Box: Comma w/Opiods Xanax
Fluticasone Corticosteroids prevent the production of proteins that are used in the formation of prostaglandins & leukotrienes (chemicals involved in the inflammatory response). Corticosteroid Allergic Rhinitis Nasal -asone* ADR: CNS Flonase
Bupropion • NDRIs block the receptors involved in the reuptake of neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. This leaves more of the chemical available for continued use by the brain. • Dopamine – helps control emotions, thought, learning, memory & musc Norepinephrine-Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor (NDRIs) Depression PO None ADR: CV, CNS Black Box: Suicidal Thoughts Wellbutrin, Budeprion
Carvedilol 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. Beta Blocker Hypertension PO -ilol (-olol) ADR: CV, CNS Coreg
Potassium Chloride • A mineral that is needed for several bodily functions. • Most importantly KCl is involved in maintaining a normal heart beat. Electrolyte Supplement Hypokalemia PO None ADR: Dermatologic, Endocrine Klor-Con
Tramadol • Mimic the action of naturally occurring opioids 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. Opiod Analgesic Pain PO -adol* ADR: CNS, GI Black Box: Respiratory Depression Ultram
Pantoprazole • The enzyme HydrogenPotassium ATPase present in the stomach maintains the acidity of gastric secretions. • PPIs block the enzyme Hydrogen-Potassium ATPase thereby reducing stomach acidity. Proton Pump Inhibitor GERD PO -prazole ADR: CNS Protonix
Montelukast • Bind to leukotriene receptors found in the human airway. • Prevent the attachment of antigens that trigger asthma symptoms and bronchoconstriction. Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist Asthma PO -lukast ADR: CNS, Dermatologic Singulair
Escitalopram • 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. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) Depression PO -talopram* ADR: CNS, GI Black Box: Suicidal Thoughts Lexapro

Rosuvastatin • 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. HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor Hyperlipidemia PO -statin ADR: Neuromuscular Crestor
Ibuprofen • Inhibit prostaglandin (PG) synthesis in tissues. This prevents pain receptors from triggering the inflammatory process. NSAID Pain, Inflammation PO -profen ADR: CV, GI Black Box: Thrombotic Events Advil, Motrin, PediaCare
Meloxicam • Inhibit prostaglandin (PG) synthesis in tissues. This prevents pain receptors from triggering the inflammatory process. NSAID Pain, Inflammation PO None ADR: CNS, GI Black Box: Thrombotic Events Mobic
Insulin Glargine • Insulins reduce blood glucose levels by attaching to the surface of cells and allowing glucose to leave the blood stream and enter the cells Insulin Diabetes Mellitus Injection -gl- * ADR: Endocrine – Hypoglycemia Lantus
Hydrochlorothiazide + Lisinopril • Thiazide diuretic that lowers blood pressure by increasing urinary excretion of Na+, K+ and H20. Long duration in the body. • An angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used for treating high blood pressure, heart failure and for preventing Thiazide Diuretic+ ACE Inhibitor Hypertension PO -thiazide -pril ADR: CV, CNS Black Box: Fetal Toxicity Prinzide, Zestoretic
Clonazepam • Produces a calming effect that ranges from mild sedation to coma by enhancing the effects of neurotransmitter GABA (calming chemical) in the brain. Benzodiazepine Seizures, Anxiety PO -zepam ADR: CNS Black Box: Comma w/Opiods Klonopin
Aspirin • Decreases the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes by inactivating cyclooxygenase (COX). Cyclooxygenase is required for the production of prostaglandin and thromboxane. Without COX, prostaglandin and thromboxane are unable to send pai Salicylate Pain, Fever, Inflammation, Clotting Conditions PO None ADR: CV, CNS Bayer Aspirin
Clopidogrel • Inhibits platelet aggregation and thus inhibits aspects of blood clotting used to treat patients with acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction (MI), peripheral vascular disease and some stroke (ischemic type) patients.
