Medications, (drugs) are an essential part of human and/or humanoid patient care. Safe and proper administration of drugs requires sound and current knowledge of their action, side effects, toxicity, onset, and range of dosage. It must be remembered that drugs have the power to help or harm, and the required knowledge of pharmacology involves integrating a careful understanding of many different disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, pathology, microbiology, organic and inorganic chemistry, sociology and psychology.
Every drug should have a specific use as well as a general classification. Some of the more common classifications or categories of medications are as follows:
Autonomic Nervous System Drugs - work on the autonomic nervous system, which regulates
many physiologic tasks necessary for the preservation of homeostasis, a constant internal environment, such as digestion.
Cardiovascular System Drugs - are usually used to treat disturbances in cell metabolism and in the circulatory system, i.e. veins, arteries, capillaries, and the heart muscle.
Central Nervous System Drugs - can act either to increase or to decrease activity of nerve centers and conducting pathways.
Psychotropic Drugs - are usually used in psychiatric treatment and therapy.
Anesthetic Agents - are central nervous system depressants that posses these characteristics:
•They have an affinity for nervous tissue
•Their action is reversible, with cells returning to normal upon elimination of the drug.
Antimicrobial Agents - are drugs which destroy or inhibit bacteria or other harmful micro-organisms.
