This is a list of common and important medications organised broadly by discipline. Again see the disclaimer at the bottom. This is meant to just be a quick reference. All doses are for adult patients with normal renal and hepatic function, unless otherwise stated.
The ones I seem to most frequently reference are:
- Analgesics
- Antibacterials
- Anti-emetics
- Electrolyte Supplements
- Fluids
- Aperients and Laxatives
- Bronchodilators
- PPIs
Notes:
- beta blockers
- Non selective However, lungs contain mainly ẞ2 receptor sites. Non-selective ẞ-blockers (e.g. propranolol) will reduce BP, but will also cause unwanted adverse effects such as bronchoconstriction (since the ẞ2-agonist effect is bronchodilation). Therefore, non-selective B-blockers cannot be used in patients with asthma. ẞ1 -selective antagonists may be used with caution, provided benefit outweighs risk
