Major Depressive Disorder Major depressive disorder, commonly called depression, is a persistent low mood or loss of interest lasting at least two weeks that disrupts daily life; it responds well to therapy and medicines such as SSRIs. 24 medicines View → Major Depressive Disorder Malaria Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic infection causing fever, chills, and headache; it is treated with antiparasitic medicines such as chloroquine, and prompt diagnosis matters. 1 medicine View → Malaria Malaria Prophylaxis Malaria prophylaxis is preventive medicine taken before, during, and after travel to malaria-risk areas, most often doxycycline, alongside mosquito-bite precautions. 1 medicine View → Malaria Prophylaxis Malignant Lymphoma Malignant lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphocytes that can affect lymph nodes, the spleen, or bone marrow; treatment combines chemotherapy agents such as cyclophosphamide with radiotherapy and targeted therapy. 1 medicine View → Malignant Lymphoma Manic Episode A manic episode is a period of abnormally elevated or irritable mood, high energy, and impulsive behaviour lasting at least a week, most often part of bipolar I disorder, and treated with mood stabilisers or antipsychotics such as aripiprazole. 1 medicine View → Manic Episode Medical Termination of Pregnancy Medical termination of pregnancy uses medicines, not surgery, to end a pregnancy in its early weeks. The standard regimen combines mifepristone with misoprostol. 1 medicine View → Medical Termination of Pregnancy Meniere's Disease Meniere's disease is an inner-ear disorder causing episodic vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus, managed with medicines such as betahistine. 1 medicine View → Meniere's Disease Meningococcal Carriage Meningococcal carriage is the asymptomatic colonisation of the throat by Neisseria meningitidis, treated with antibiotics to prevent spread. 1 medicine View → Meningococcal Carriage Menopausal Flushing Menopausal flushing causes sudden waves of heat across the face, neck, and chest during and after menopause. 1 medicine View → Menopausal Flushing Menopausal Symptoms Menopausal symptoms arise as oestrogen levels fall in midlife, causing hot flushes, sleep disruption, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. 3 medicines View → Menopausal Symptoms Menorrhagia Menorrhagia is abnormally heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that disrupts daily life, with several medical options available to reduce blood loss. 1 medicine View → Menorrhagia Migraine Migraine is a neurological condition causing recurring moderate-to-severe headaches, often with nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. 3 medicines View → Migraine Migraine Prophylaxis Migraine prophylaxis uses daily medicines to reduce how often and how severely migraines occur. 8 medicines View → Migraine Prophylaxis Mixed Dyslipidaemia Mixed dyslipidaemia is a pattern of blood-fat abnormalities in which LDL cholesterol and triglycerides are both raised, often with low HDL, treated with fenofibrate and cholesterol-lowering agents. 2 medicines View → Mixed Dyslipidaemia Moderate Acute Pain Moderate acute pain is short-lived, mid-intensity pain from injury, surgery, or inflammation, treated for a limited time with NSAIDs such as ketorolac. 1 medicine View → Moderate Acute Pain Mouth Ulceration Mouth ulceration produces small, painful sores inside the cheeks, lips, tongue, or gums, most of which heal on their own within one to two weeks with simple self-care. 1 medicine View → Mouth Ulceration Multiple Myeloma Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow, treated with combinations of alkylating agents and immunomodulatory drugs such as lenalidomide. 4 medicines View → Multiple Myeloma Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease that damages the myelin sheath around nerve fibres, causing a wide range of neurological symptoms often managed with muscle relaxants for spasticity. 1 medicine View → Multiple Sclerosis Muscle Spasm A muscle spasm is a sudden, involuntary muscle contraction causing pain and restricted movement, usually settling with rest or short courses of muscle relaxants. 3 medicines View → Muscle Spasm Muscle Spasticity Muscle spasticity causes persistent stiffness and involuntary spasms after neurological injury or disease, treated with oral muscle relaxants such as baclofen and tizanidine. 2 medicines View → Muscle Spasticity Musculoskeletal Pain Musculoskeletal pain covers discomfort from muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, or tendons, treated with NSAIDs such as naproxen or muscle relaxants when spasm is the main problem. 2 medicines View → Musculoskeletal Pain Myasthenia Gravis Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition that causes muscle weakness worsening with activity, managed mainly with pyridostigmine and, longer term, immunosuppressive treatment. 1 medicine View → Myasthenia Gravis Mydriasis Mydriasis is dilation of the pupil beyond its normal size, most often induced deliberately with eye drops such as tropicamide or cyclopentolate for an eye examination. 2 medicines View → Mydriasis Myelodysplastic Syndromes Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are bone marrow disorders where blood cell production fails, ranging from slow, low-risk disease to a more aggressive form that can progress to leukaemia. 1 medicine View → Myelodysplastic Syndromes Myocardial Infarction A myocardial infarction, or heart attack, happens when a blocked coronary artery cuts off oxygen to part of the heart muscle; recovery relies on medicines that protect the heart and prevent another clot. 4 medicines View → Myocardial Infarction Myocardial Infarction Prophylaxis Myocardial infarction prophylaxis uses medicines and lifestyle changes to lower the risk of a first or repeat heart attack in people with heart disease or several cardiovascular risk factors. 1 medicine View → Myocardial Infarction Prophylaxis Myoclonus Myoclonus is sudden, brief, involuntary muscle jerking, a symptom rather than a disease, that can arise from epilepsy, metabolic disturbance, or a neurodegenerative condition. 1 medicine View → Myoclonus
