On this episode of the Top 200 Drugs pharmacology podcast, I cover fluticasone nasal spray, allopurinol, alendronate, famotidine, and cefdinir.
Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that can be used nasally for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.
Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used to reduce uric acid and prevent gout flares.
Alendronate is a bisphosphonate that inhibits the action of osteoclasts. This action helps treat osteoporosis.
Famotidine is a histamine-2 receptor antagonist that helps reduce gastric acid secretion and alleviate heartburn symptoms.
Cefdinir is a third-generation cephalosporin that is often used as an alternative for those who cannot take penicillin antibiotics. There is a small risk for cross-reactivity that a clinician has to consider.
