Addiction Recovery Varenicline and bupropion ease nicotine cravings; naltrexone, disulfiram and acamprosate target alcohol dependence, each through a different mechanism. 9 medicines View → Addiction Recovery Allergy Relief Allergy medicines split into nonsedating antihistamine tablets and nasal sprays. Older antihistamines like promethazine sedate, and decongestant sprays cause rebound congestion after a few days. 8 medicines View → Allergy Relief Antibiotics Antibiotics clear bacterial infections, not viruses. Fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) carry boxed warnings for tendon rupture and nerve damage, and finishing the full course helps prevent resistance. 45 medicines View → Antibiotics Antidepressants Antidepressants adjust brain chemical signaling to treat depression and anxiety. SSRIs like sertraline are usually first-choice, SNRIs add pain relief, and older TCAs are the most dangerous in overdose. 26 medicines View → Antidepressants Antifungals Topical antifungals like clotrimazole treat surface skin and vaginal infections; oral options like fluconazole and itraconazole treat deeper ones and need liver checks on longer courses. 13 medicines View → Antifungals Antiparasitics Antiparasitics target intestinal worms, malaria and skin mites like scabies, each with different drugs. Chloroquine resistance is now widespread across most malaria regions. 6 medicines View → Antiparasitics Antivirals Antivirals block viral replication directly; they don't boost your immune system. Valacyclovir, acyclovir and famciclovir treat herpes and shingles, molnupiravir targets COVID-19. 14 medicines View → Antivirals Autoimmune Support Autoimmune and anti-rejection medicines suppress immune activity for rheumatoid arthritis or organ transplants. All raise your risk of infection and some cancers, hence regular monitoring. 11 medicines View → Autoimmune Support Bladder Health Bladder medicines relax an overactive bladder or reduce nighttime urine output. Desmopressin carries a boxed warning for severe low sodium, and phenazopyridine only masks symptoms, not infection. 12 medicines View → Bladder Health Bone Health Alendronate slows bone breakdown, alfacalcidol and calcitriol help absorb calcium, and raloxifene mimics estrogen's effect on bone. Calcium Acetate is a phosphate binder for kidney disease, not a bone supplement. 7 medicines View → Bone Health Cholesterol Management Statins such as atorvastatin lower cholesterol made by the liver and need occasional muscle and liver checks. Cholestyramine works in the gut and must be taken hours apart from other oral medicines. 10 medicines View → Cholesterol Management COVID-19 Support Supportive medications and antiviral treatments used to help manage symptoms and recovery from COVID-19. 5 medicines View → COVID-19 Support Diabetes Management Type 2 diabetes medicines range from daily metformin to weekly semaglutide injections. Sulfonylureas like glimepiride are the class most likely to cause dangerously low blood sugar. 24 medicines View → Diabetes Management Digestive Health Digestive health medicines don't share one mechanism: acid reducers cut stomach acid, antiemetics block nausea signals, antispasmodics ease spasm, and IBD drugs calm gut inflammation. 19 medicines View → Digestive Health Erectile Dysfunction ED tablets are PDE5 inhibitors. Sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil and avanafil differ mainly in how fast they start and how long they last. None of them mixes safely with nitrates. 64 medicines View → Erectile Dysfunction Eye Care Eye care medicines split into three jobs: lowering pressure in glaucoma, clearing bacterial infection, and calming inflammation, dryness or allergy in the eye. 22 medicines View → Eye Care Hair Loss Minoxidil widens scalp blood vessels to stimulate follicles, while finasteride and dutasteride block the hormone that shrinks them; expect 3 to 6 months to see an effect. 6 medicines View → Hair Loss Heart & Blood Pressure Heart and blood pressure medicines work through different mechanisms, from relaxing vessels to slowing heart rate. Never combine a nitrate like isosorbide with sildenafil: together they can cause a dangerous blood pressure crash. 87 medicines View → Heart & Blood Pressure HIV Management HIV is treated with three or more antiretroviral drugs from different classes, taken daily. Adherence, not which drugs you're on, is what keeps the virus undetectable. 17 medicines View → HIV Management Hormone Therapy Hormone therapy corrects one measured problem: testosterone for low levels, desmopressin or tolvaptan for water balance, cabergoline for high prolactin. Blood tests guide dosing throughout. 5 medicines View → Hormone Therapy Men's Health Daily medications addressing specific men's health issues, such as an enlarged prostate (BPH) and male pattern hair loss. 10 medicines View → Men's Health Mental Health Medicines for bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and severe anxiety include antipsychotics like quetiapine and clozapine, and mood stabilizers like lithium, each with its own monitoring requirements. 13 medicines View → Mental Health Neurology Neurology medicines treat nerve pain, epilepsy, migraine, Parkinson's disease and dementia. Valproate and topiramate both carry pregnancy risks limiting use in women of childbearing age. 40 medicines View → Neurology Nootropics Cognitive-enhancement and wakefulness aids, including modafinil and piracetam. 3 medicines View → Nootropics Oncology Support Oncology support drugs span hormone blockers, targeted kinase inhibitors and chemotherapy tablets like tamoxifen, imatinib and thalidomide, each attacking cancer growth through a different pathway. 22 medicines View → Oncology Support Pain Management Medications to relieve acute and chronic pain, including muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories, and standard gout treatments. 36 medicines View → Pain Management PCT & Men's Fitness Post-cycle therapy and hormone-balance support — SERMs and aromatase inhibitors such as clomiphene, tamoxifen, anastrozole and letrozole. 8 medicines View → PCT & Men's Fitness Premature Ejaculation Dapoxetine is the only on-demand SSRI approved for premature ejaculation; topical lidocaine numbs sensation directly, and PDE5 tablets treat erectile function separately. 17 medicines View → Premature Ejaculation Respiratory Health Salbutamol relieves sudden symptoms fast, and inhaled corticosteroids control daily inflammation. Salmeterol and formoterol must always be paired with a steroid inhaler, never used alone, in asthma. 27 medicines View → Respiratory Health Skin Care Skin care medicines range from mild creams to oral retinoids. Isotretinoin and acitretin clear severe acne and psoriasis but cause serious birth defects, making pregnancy prevention mandatory during treatment. 40 medicines View → Skin Care Sleep Management Eszopiclone and zaleplon are Z-drug sedatives for short-term insomnia; melatonin resets your body clock instead. Z-drugs can cause dependence, next-day grogginess, and rare sleepwalking or sleep-driving. 6 medicines View → Sleep Management Thyroid Health Levothyroxine replaces low thyroid hormone, carbimazole slows an overactive thyroid, and liothyronine is a potent hormone for specific cases only. Fever or sore throat on carbimazole needs urgent care. 4 medicines View → Thyroid Health Weight Management Weight-loss prescriptions include semaglutide (weekly injection), orlistat (blocks fat absorption) and bupropion-naltrexone (reduces cravings). Semaglutide and bupropion each carry a boxed safety warning. 4 medicines View → Weight Management Women's Health Women's health medicines span fertility drugs, breast-cancer hormone therapy, and sexual-desire treatment. Tamoxifen and danazol carry serious risks that need ongoing monitoring. 36 medicines View → Women's Health
