A class of drugs that neutralize stomach acid and provide rapid relief from heartburn and indigestion. They work by buffering the acidic contents of the stomach.

A class of drugs that block the production of stomach acid by competitively inhibiting the H2 receptors in the stomach lining. They are used to treat conditions like peptic ulcers, GERD, and heartburn.

A class of drugs that irreversibly block the proton pump, which is the enzyme responsible for pumping hydrogen ions (H+) into the stomach lumen, effectively reducing acid secretion. They can take longer to take effect than H2 blockers, but their effects last longer.

A type of acid found in skin care products that, in lower concentrations, treats acne by exfoliating and removing dead skin cells. In higher concentrations, it can remove warts by burning away the affected skin.

A class of medications that can cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus, prolonged labor, increased postpartum bleeding, and delayed parturition. They are generally contraindicated during the third trimester of pregnancy.

A pain reliever often used during pregnancy, but is generally avoided during the entire pregnancy due to its possible association with various complications.

A class of drugs that can affect milk production in lactating mothers, and are generally considered contraindicated during lactation.

A common cold symptom reliever, but is generally compatible with lactation, although it may cause reduced milk production.

A measure of protein levels in the blood, indicating the amount of protein available for bodily functions.

The percentage of a drug that reaches the bloodstream after administration, affecting its effectiveness.

Drugs that block the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, leading to effects like dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation.

The phase of drug development where the drug is tested on a small group of healthy volunteers to assess its safety.

The phase of drug development where the drug is tested on a larger group of patients to assess its efficacy and determine the optimal dose.

The phase of drug development where the drug is tested on a large population of patients to confirm its efficacy and safety for broader use.

A group of enzymes responsible for metabolizing drugs in the body, affecting how drugs are processed and eliminated.

Substances that increase the activity of CYP enzymes, leading to faster drug metabolism and potentially lower drug levels.

Reconstituted medications made from powders should be refrigerated when indicated on the drug label. Refrigeration will help to prevent the medication from going bad and ensure its potency.

Amoxicillin is a frequently prescribed antibiotic for treating acute otitis media in children. It is effective at combating the common bacteria that cause ear infections.

Cefdinir, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, is known to cause a temporary red discoloration of the stool. This is a common side effect and does not mean there is an issue with the medication.

Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics often given intravenously (IV) to treat serious infections. Some examples of this class include gentamicin, tobramycin, and amikacin.

Aztreonam is a monobactam antibiotic commonly used to treat infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a type of bacteria often associated with hospital-acquired infections.

A class of antibiotics that work by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Examples include penicillin, cephalosporin, carbapenem, and monobactam.

An antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. It is used to treat serious infections caused by bacteria resistant to other antibiotics.

A group of antibiotics that interrupt bacterial protein synthesis, preventing essential proteins from being made.

A type of antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA synthesis by blocking the action of DNA gyrase, an enzyme essential for unwinding DNA.

An antibiotic that inhibits bacterial folate synthesis, a vital process for nucleic acid production.

A mechanism of bacterial resistance to antibiotics where bacteria produce enzymes that break down the antibiotic before it can reach its target.

A mechanism of bacterial resistance to antibiotics where bacteria alter the target site where the antibiotic binds, preventing the antibiotic from working.

A mechanism of bacterial resistance to antibiotics where bacteria develop ways to bypass the effect of the antibiotic, allowing them to survive.
