Ciprofloxacin
Antibiotic that may cause tendonitis or tendon rupture; risk of QT prolongation; contraindicated in patients with a history of myasthenia gravis.
Enoxaparin
Low-molecular-weight heparin that can increase bleeding risk; contraindicated in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia; use with caution in renal insufficiency.
Carbamazepine
Anticonvulsant that can cause dizziness and ataxia; potential for drug interactions; contraindicated in bone marrow suppression.
Rivaroxaban
Anticoagulant that can increase bleeding risk; not for patients with prosthetic heart valves; caution in renal impairment.
Atenolol
Beta-blocker that can reduce heart rate; contraindicated in severe bradycardia and decompensated heart failure; can mask hypoglycemia symptoms.
Baclofen
Muscle relaxant that can cause drowsiness; may impair motor function; contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to baclofen.
Digoxin
Used for heart failure and arrhythmias; can lead to toxicity, particularly in renal insufficiency; contraindicated in ventricular fibrillation.
Pantoprazole
Proton-pump inhibitor that can decrease stomach acid; associated with potential for bone density loss; contraindicated with concurrent clopidogrel use.
Heparin
Increases risk of bleeding; requires monitoring of aPTT; contraindicated in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
Warfarin
Anticoagulant that may increase bleeding risk; contraindicated in patients with high bleeding risk; INR levels must be monitored.
Metformin
Lowers blood glucose levels; contraindicated in renal disease; may cause lactic acidosis if accumulated.
Furosemide
Diuretic that can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances; contraindicated in anuria; use with caution in patients with history of gout.
Albuterol
Can cause tremors and tachycardia; use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders; not indicated for long-term control of asthma.
Cyclobenzaprine
Muscle relaxant that can cause drowsiness; may impact motor function; contraindicated in acute recovery phase of myocardial infarctions.
Morphine
Opioid analgesic that can cause respiratory depression; risk of sedation and decreased cough reflex; contraindicated in acute asthma.
Simvastatin
Reduces LDL cholesterol; can cause muscle pain and myopathy; contraindicated in active liver disease.
Donepezil
Cholinesterase inhibitor that can cause bradycardia; contraindicated in patients with cardiac conduction defects; may cause gastrointestinal side effects.
Losartan
ARB that can reduce blood pressure; potential for hyperkalemia; contraindicated in pregnancy due to risk of fetal harm.
Insulin
Can cause hypoglycemia; contraindicated in hypoglycemia; caution in exercise as it can potentiate insulin effects.
Hydrochlorothiazide
Thiazide diuretic that can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances; contraindicated in anuria; cautious use in gout and diabetes.
Diphenhydramine
Antihistamine that can cause drowsiness; may impair cognitive function; contraindicated in angle-closure glaucoma.
Risedronate
Biphosphonate that may increase bone density; risk of esophageal irritation; contraindicated in abnormalities of the esophagus.
Gabapentin
Anticonvulsant that can cause drowsiness and dizziness; may impact balance; use with caution in patients with compromised renal function.
Tamsulosin
Alpha blocker that can cause dizziness; may lead to orthostatic hypotension; use with caution in cataract surgery due to intraoperative floppy iris syndrome.
Levothyroxine
Thyroid hormone replacement that can cause overstimulation; contraindicated in untreated thyrotoxicosis; use with caution in cardiovascular disease.
Metoprolol
Beta-blocker that can reduce heart rate; risk of worsening heart failure; contraindicated in severe bradycardia.
Lithium
Mood stabilizer that can affect renal function; risk of toxicity, especially with dehydration; contraindicated in severe cardiovascular disease.
Prednisone
Corticosteroid that can cause muscle weakness; may increase blood sugar levels; contraindicated in systemic fungal infections.
Amitriptyline
Tricyclic antidepressant that can cause drowsiness; may impact balance and coordination; contraindicated in recent myocardial infarction.
Lisinopril
Antihypertensive that can cause dizziness; caution in patients with hypotension; contraindicated in angioedema.
Duloxetine
SNRI antidepressant that can cause dizziness and fatigue; may exacerbate hypertension; contraindicated in uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma.
Fluoxetine
SSRI antidepressant that can cause sexual dysfunction; increased bleeding risk; contraindicated in combination with MAO inhibitors.
Amoxicillin
Antibiotic that may cause gastrointestinal upset; allergic reactions possible; use with caution in patients with renal impairment.
Ondansetron
Anti-nausea medication that can cause headache; QT prolongation possible; use with caution in patients with cardiac arrhythmias.
Lorazepam
Benzodiazepine that can cause sedation; potential for dependence; contraindicated in patients with myasthenia gravis.
Aspirin
May increase bleeding, potentially complicating post-surgical recovery; contraindicated in individuals with bleeding disorders.
Nitroglycerin
Vasodilator that can cause hypotension and headache; use with caution in low systolic blood pressure; contraindicated with phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
Ibuprofen
Can reduce inflammation and provide pain relief; might increase risk of gastrointestinal bleeding; use with caution in patients with kidney disease.
Omeprazole
Proton-pump inhibitor that can reduce gastric acid secretion; long-term use associated with bone density loss; contraindicated in clopidogrel users.
Clopidogrel
Antiplatelet that can increase bleeding risk; may cause gastrointestinal upset; contraindicated in active pathological bleeding.
Phenytoin
Anticonvulsant that may cause ataxia and cognitive impairment; drug level monitoring required; contraindicated in sinus bradycardia and SA block.
Adalimumab
Immunosuppressant that can increase infection risk; may cause injection site reactions; contraindicated in active tuberculosis.
Acetaminophen
Analgesic and antipyretic effects; contraindicated in liver disease; overdose can lead to acute liver failure.
