Answer:

Drugs can be classified in many different ways. Some drugs are classified according to their level of control (i.e., the addiction potential of the drug).. On the one hand, there are drugs that you cannot buy without a doctor’s prescription, and on the other, there are drugs that can be easily bought over the counter at a drug store. Another type of classification is the one used by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The most widely-used system is the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC system).

Three commonly prescribed drug classes are β-receptor blockers (beta blockers), lipid regulators, and antidepressants. Here are the classes and their two respective brands:

Bete Blockers

Brevibloc (esmolol): This medication is used in hospital settings, where the patient’s vital signs can be monitored. It can help treat increased blood pressure, rapid heart action, and hypertension. It is either injected or administered by intravenous infusion.

Sectral (acebutolol): Sectral is used to treat high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, and for preventing strokes. It comes in the form of capsules, at one of two dosage strengths (200 or 400 mg). Initially, a dose of 400 mg is taken once a day or divided into 2 doses. If necessary, the dosage can be increased to 800 mg per day.

Lipid Regulators

Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium): It is used to reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. It helps in the treatment of high cholesterol, stroke, and heart disease. It comes in the form of 10 or 20 mg tablets that are taken once a day.

Mevacor (lovastatin): It is used to lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. It comes as a tablet of 10, 20, or 40 mg, which is taken once a day. The highest recommended dose is 80 mg a day.

Antidepressants

Prozac (fluoxetine): It is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, and bulimia. It comes as a tablet of 10, 20, or 40 mg that is taken once or twice a day, according to doctor’s orders. It is also available in liquid form.

Cymbalta (duloxetine): It is used to treat depression and anxiety. It comes in the form of 20, 30, or 60 mg delayed-release capsules, taken once or twice a day depending on doctor’s orders. Going off this drug is very difficult because it is known to cause powerful and debilitating withdrawal symptoms.
