| Adipex | phentermine (Sch. IV) -- appetite supressant |
| Lunesta | eszopiclone (Sch. IV) -- sleep aid |
| Soma | carisoprodol (Sch. IV) -- muscle relaxer |
| Prinivil | lisinopril -- ACE inhibitor |
| Zocor | simvastatin -- statin |
| DEA Sch. I | No accepted medical use. Extremely high potential for abuse. High potential for psychological and physical dependency. |
| DEA Sch. II | Does have medical use. High potential for abuse. Relative potential for psychological and physical dependency. |
| DEA Sch. III | Does have medical use. Moderate abuse potential exists, but less than Sch. II. |
| DEA Sch. IV | Abuse potential exists, but less than Sch. III. |
| DEA Sch. V | Lowest abuse potential of the Sch. Abuse potential exists, but less than Sch. IV. EX. cough medicine w/codeine, A/Ds |
| A.C.E. inhibitors | Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors; block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Avoiding Angiotensin II may avoid increased blood pressure vasoconstriction. |
| A.2.R.B. | Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers; block Angiotensin II enzymes from specific receptor sites. Avoiding Angiotensin II activity helps prohibit vasoconstriction |
| Anti-Biotics | Inhibit the reproduction of new bacteria cells. |
| Anti-Convulsants | Suppress the rapid firing of neurons in the nervous system (brain). AKA anti-epileptic and anti-seizure drugs. |
| Anti-Diabetics/ Sulfonylureas | Lower glucose levels in the blood. ONLY used to treat Type II Diabetes. |
| Benzodiazepines | AKA "Benzos"; used as anti-anxiety agents, muscle relaxants, sedatives, and hypnotics. Suffix "PAM" |
| Beta Blockers (B1) | AKA Beta-adrenergic blocking agents; block adrenaline receptors, which are part of the central nervous system and mediate a "Fight or flight" response, which would cause actions in the heart. Suffix "OLOL" |
| Calcium Channel Blockers | Work by blocking calcium channels in cardiac muscle and blood vessels, thereby slowing down activity in the heart. |
| Diuretics | Primarily used to treat hypertension. They promote evacuation of water from the body, which decreases the load on the cardiovascular system. |
| HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors | AKA statins; they inhibit the body's cholesterol production. Suffix "statin" |
| NSAID | Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs; used as pain killers and fever reducers. Non-narcotic and can be sold OTC. |
| Opioid | Provide analgesic effect by decreasing the perception of pain and increase pain tolerance. |
| Proton Pump Inhibitors | Inhibit the action of the gastric proton pump, thereby reducing gastric acid production. Suffix "prazole" |
| S.S.R.I. | Selective Seratonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors; increase the body's Seratonin level by inhibiting its re-uptake into the Presynaptic cell. commonly indicated as an Anti-Depressant. |
| Synthroid | Levothyroxine -- hormone replacement |
| Amoxil | Amoxicillin -- antibiotic (Penicillin) |

| Norvasc | Amlodipine -- Calcium Channel Blocker |
| Glucophage | Metformin -- antidiabetic |
| Lipitor | Atorvastatin -- statin |
| Prilosec | Omeprazole -- proton pump inhibitor |
| Augmentin | amoxicillin + clavanulate -- antibiotic (penicillin) |
| Tenormin | Atenolol -- beta blocker (B1) |
| Lasix | Furosemide -- diuretic |
| Lopressor | metoprolol -- beta receptor blocker (B1) |
| Zoloft | Sertraline -- S.S.R.I. |
| Nexium | Esomeprazole -- proton pump inhibitor |
| Plavix | clopidogrel -- platelet aggregation inhibitor |
| Singulair | Montelukast -- leukotriene inhibitor |

| ProAir | albuterol -- B2 Receptor Agonist (Lungs) |
| Prozac | fluoxetine -- S.S.R.I. |
| Neurontin | gabapentin -- anti-convulsant |
| Coumadin | warfarin -- blood thinner |
| Ultram | tramadol -- pain relief (non-narcotic) |
| Keflex | cephalexin -- antibiotic (cephalosporin) |
| Flexeril | cyclo-benzaprine -- muscle relaxant |
| Septra | sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim -- antibiotic (combination) |
| Cipro | ciprofloxacin -- antibiotic (quinolone) |
| Flonase | fluticasone -- inhaled steroid |
| Dyrenium | triamterene -- diuretic |
