    Pharmacology examines four major classes of drugs: analgesics, antibiotics, antihistamines, and antidepressants. Analgesics help relieve pain, antibiotics fight bacterial infections, antihistamines treat allergies and asthma by blocking histamine, and antidepressants are used to treat depression and anxiety by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain like serotonin and norepinephrine. Each class of drug has a different mechanism of action and use but all work to impact health and treat medical conditions.
