Quick reference for pharmacology drug classes: Beta-blockers (mechanism: block β-adrenoceptors, uses: hypertension/angina, side effects: bradycardia/bronchoconstriction), ACE inhibitors (block angiotensin-converting enzyme, use: hypertension/heart failure, SE: dry cough/hyperkalemia), Statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, lower LDL, SE: myopathy/rhabdomyolysis), NSAIDs (COX inhibitors, anti-inflammatory, SE: GI ulcers/renal impairment), Benzodiazepines (GABA potentiation, anxiolytic/hypnotic, SE: dependence/sedation).
