The document discusses several classes of drugs used to treat different medical conditions. Analgesics are used to relieve pain by blocking pain signals or interfering with pain interpretation. Antiseptics kill or inhibit microorganisms on the body's external surfaces. Antiasthmatic drugs treat or prevent asthma attacks. ACE inhibitors are used to treat hypertension and heart failure.

Analgesics are a class of drugs used to relieve pain.
The pain relief
induced by analgesics occurs either by blocking pain signals going to the brain or by interfering with the brain's interpretation of the signals, without producing anesthesia or loss of consciousness.
Antiseptic, agent that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms on
the external surfaces of the body. Antiseptics should generally be distinguished from drugs such as antibiotics that destroy microorganisms internally, and from disinfectants, which destroy microorganisms found on nonliving objects.
Antiasthmatic drugs are medicines that treat or prevent asthma
attacks.
ACE inhibitors or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, are
a group of pharmaceuticals that are used primarily in treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure, in some cases as the drugs of first choice.
Chloramphenicol-used chiefly in the treatment of infections caused
by certain bacteria, by rickettsiae, and by certain viruses.
Statins (or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) are a class of drugs that
lower cholesterol levels in people.
Hematenics- a drug or other agent that increases blood hemoglobin
Biguanide- a drug that lowers blood sugar. Used for the treatment of
non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
Corticosteroid- Use for reduction of inflammation and allergic
reactions, prevention of graft rejection.
Antibiotics- Drug that kills or inactivates bacteria, but has no effect
against viruses.
Aminopenicillins are a group of antibiotics.[1] They belong to the penicillin
family and comprise the members ampicillin, amoxicillin, and bacampicillin.[2] Macrolides are a group of drugs (typically antibiotics) whose activity stems from the presence of a macrolide ring, a large macrocyclic lactone ring to which one or more deoxy sugars, usually cladinose and desosamine, may be attached.
