Prescribed drugs

A prescribed drug is something that you can get at any chemist or supermarket. These usually help you unless you get side effects. You should only use something if prescribed by a doctor or GP.

Some prescribed drugs include:

Halothane - This is an anasthetic and was first used medically in 1956. It replaced volatile anasthetics such as cyclopropane.

Ketamine - This is another anasthetic.

Atropine - This drug is used for sedition and lowers the parasympathetic activity of muscles and glands although it may cause swallowing difficulties.

Morphine - This can be used for lots of things. These include: cancer relief, pain from kidney stones, back pain, pain associated with trauma and for severe coughs.

Ibuprofen - This is used for relief from arthritus, dysmenorrhea and fever. It was originally called Brufen and with different trademarks has been called Nurofen, Mortin and Advil.

Paracetemol - This is used for fever and headache relief and other minor aches and pains.

Penecillin - This made it's first cure in 1930 where it cured four eye-infections and a gonococcal infection. Although some side effects include: diarrhea, hypersensitivity, nausea, rash, fever, vomiting and seizures (especially in epileptics).

There are a lot more prescribed drugs you can get but it would take very long to write them all down.
