    On the top 200 drugs podcast, we cover 5 more medications. The medications covered on today's episode include; omalizumab, nitroglycerin, apixaban, gabapentin, and etanercept. Omalizumab is a monoclonal antibody used in moderate to severe asthma. It targets IgE-mediated asthma attacks and reactions. Anaphylaxis is a significant concern with the use of this medication. Sublingual nitroglycerin is frequently used on an as needed basis for angina symptoms. I discuss major drug interactions and much more. Apixaban is an anticoagulant used to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation. It can also be used in DVT/PE treatment and prevention. Gabapentin is classified as an antiepileptic agent but is most commonly used for neuropathic type pain. Etanercept targets TNF alpha which plays an important role in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

    In this episode of the Top 200 Drugs Podcast, I cover glyburide, citalopram, olmesratan, carvedilol, and tiotropium. Glyburide is a sulfonylurea that is well known to cause hypoglycemia and weight gain because it stimulates the pancreas to increase insulin release. Citalopram is an SSRI most well known for its potential to increase the risk for QTc prolongation. It has a notorious drug interaction with omeprazole Olmesartan is an ARB that can be used for hypertension. Hyperkalemia is an electrolyte imbalance that can be caused by its use. Carvedilol is one of the few beta-blockers with significant alpha-blocking and beta-blocking activity. I discuss what this means in this Top 200 drugs podcast. Tiotropium is an anticholinergic medication that can open the airway. It is most commonly used for COPD.

    Clindamycin is an antibiotic for infection. It inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 50s ribosomal subunit and is well known to contribute to C. Diff. risk. Acetaminophen is a common over-the-counter medication that relieves pain and fever. It does not have much benefit in reducing inflammation, however. Ferrous sulfate is a supplement that can be useful in treating anemia. Dark stools and constipation are two common adverse effects. Eletriptan is a medication used to abort migraine headaches. It has serotonin action. I discuss the potential for interactions with other serotonergic medications. Methocarbamol is an older skeletal muscle relaxant that makes an appearance on the Beers list as it can cause sedation, confusion, and increase the risk of falls.
