DRUG CLASSIFICATIONS LIST

By William E. Gandy, JD, LP Copyright 2015 by William E. Gandy, all rights reserved.

Revised by Christopher M. Gibson, October 2021.

The purpose of this reference material is to help you gain familiarity with

common drug classifications, their uses, and to aid in recognition of drugs that

are commonly prescribed, used in serious illness, or those that would invoke

special considerations in caregiving.

The idea is that you will be able to see all the drugs that fall under one

category, and that you will be able to relate their generic names to what they

are used for. For example, the ACE inhibitors all end in “pril.” The

benzodiazepines usually end in either “lam” or “pam”. The beta-blockers

usually end in “lol.” The “zole” drugs are usually anti-fungal, anti-worm

drugs, anti-parasitic drugs. The “mycins” or “micin” drugs are usually

antibiotics. The “statins” are drugs to lower serum cholesterol.

This list should be used as a study aid and not become a hinderance so use it to

your advantage. Every effort has been made to include as many drugs as

possible under each classification; however, be aware that new drugs are

being introduced every day. Revisit the list from time to time and see when it

is dated (in the title line). If there has been an update since you downloaded it,

download the latest version.

You will be making drug cards in a later assignment that will help you learn

paramedic level pharmacology. You will be required to submit those drug

cards to your instructor before you will be cleared to take your P2 final exam

as they are a didactic requirement.

Additional resource: Below is a list of penicillins that are commonly used in the United States. Look at these and try to relate to any of them that you’ve taken, or any that have been prescribed for anybody that you know and that you’re heard about. This list is for your background knowledge. Don’t try to memorize the names but do look for similarities in the names that could be a clue to you about what they are if you see a prescription bottle for them at a patient’s house.
