Many of the drug names look similar but they may belong to different categories. Here such type of drug names were discussed.
Seven types of drugs that are often confusing how can we identify the drug names most of the times we can identify the drug names by their suffix for example we have a suffix like print which indicates they are easy inhibitors so drugs like captopril and listo fill belongs to this category similarly if we have a suffix like statins they are the angiotensin
Receptor blockers for example tracks like rasa tahn and ole miss or tom belongs to this category but sometimes fear of the drug czar hangs similar suffix but belong to the different categories which are often confusing so we will see here such type of drugs which are hanging the similar suffix may be confusing so the first way sir vancomycin versus streptomycin
Vancomycin is one type of drug whereas drugs like stretch or meissen neomycin gentamicin kanamycin and tobramycin are under set of drugs you can observe that both of these drugs are having a common suffix my scene but actually vancomycin is a glycoprotein antibiotic whereas streptomycin and other drugs are belonging to the aminoglycoside antibiotics so these
Two list of drugs are having the similar suffix but belong to the different categories even in their mecca of action both vancomycin and streptomycin differ vancomycin is the drug which blocks the cell wall synthesis where a streptomycin is one of the drug which blocks the protein synthesis so even there hang a common suffix they belong to the different category
There were different mechana fast let us go to the second type of difference erythromycin and streptomycin era through micing clarithromycin and a jethro meissen are one carrier of drugs whereas other drugs like just we have listed out streptomycin neomycin gentamicin kanamycin and problem eyes in our other career of drugs again all these are having a common
Suffix my scene you can observe in these type of drugs but the first list of drugs belong to the macrolide antibiotics and the second list of antibiotics belongs to the aminoglycoside antibiotics but if you carefully observe you can find a small difference in their suffix so the first list of drugs are ending with the throw my scene but the second list of drugs
That is mu look like you said antibiotics or any with the my c so a small difference is there in the suffix and if it indicates through my scene they have the macro rights and only mice in there indicates a man of like you said antibiotics again these drugs differ in their mikasa faction era through meissen is one of the drug which inhibits a translocation in the
Proteins in the cysts whereas streptomycin is in a manic like ocean antibiotic which inhibits the corner anticodon fading even both drugs are acting on the protein senses their target of action is different now third pair of drugs which are often confusing omeprazole versus repeat preserve both of these drugs are having common suffix preserve but omeprazole is
A proton pump inhibitor whereas aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic in this way even these drugs are having the same suffix they belong to the different categories next one is the sigma statin versus sinha statin drugs like cmos 13 row starting a tour was thirteen rosuvastatin p thomas 13 and pravastatin all these are commonly called as statins because
Of their suffix or one category of bryce and n the word is a synesthetic is an and the category of drag so all this restaurant comments of ecstatic but the first list of drugs are used to decrease the ldl cholesterol and commonly known as statin drugs whereas illustrated is one of the drug which is used to prevent the breakdown of the inipi gnam in the kidney
Actually she lost a teen was developed as a real stat into victory sakura stall but later it was found that it is mainly preventing the breakdown of the imipenem in the kidney so it is used along with the imipenem to increase its survival within the kidney and simvastatin is one of the drug which is going to inhibit the h&e cohere reductase enzyme whereas
Serum sturdiness the drug which is going to inhibit the renal dehydrogenase enzymes thereby prevents the breakdown of the imipenem within the kidney so these risks even their high the same suffix they belong to the different categories with a different mechanism of action fifth one the prologue verses shuttle all drugs like a tune on all made a prologue proper
On wall and team will are are one career of drugs which are beta blockers whereas a drug like sotalol is a potassium channel blocker you can observe that again all these drugs are having a common suffix lol but if you carefully observe again a small difference can be identified the beta blockers are ending with the suffix we lol where is this potassium channel
Blocker is ending with the lol with the small difference in the suffix there is a chance of confusion while we are remembering these track names sótano is actually a beta blocker as well as a potassium channel blocker because of the beta blocker activity the suffix lol is maintained since it is not a pure beta blocker it is not given as the complete surface like
Whale oil it only uses the lol in its suffix sixth one omeprazole veces clotrimazole drugs like omeprazole and tsipras all pantip razón and grab a preserve and and the cataracts of the clotrimazole econo joel mcconnell joel and ketoconazole you can absolute all these wrecks are having a common suffix a joel but the first list of drugs are proton pump inhibitors
Whereas second list of drugs are the a zone and d funders and again if you carefully observe the first disturb drugs are ending with the suffix pres all whereas the second mr. blacks are ending with the suffix edge all seventh one is the mo ryan versus amiodarone actually these two drugs does not differ by their suffix but because of their similarity in the target
They may be confused my ride is one of the drug which is acting like a potassium sparing diuretic whereas m81 is one of the tag which acts as a potassium channel blocker so both are going to target the potassium but my ride is going to increase the levels of potassium in the body by acting as a protection sparing tie or take whereas a major one is blocking the
Potassium channel thereby limits the potassium mediated hyper-polarization in these two trucks are have similar prefix like ami so they may be confused so that’s about the seven carrier of drugs which are have the similar suffix or similar targets thereby they may be confused while we are dealing with them
