Anti-inflammatory refers to the property of a

substance or treatment that reducesinflammation.

Anti-inflammatory drugs make up about half

ofanalgesics, remedying pain by reducing

inflammation as opposed toopioids, which affect

thecentral nervous system.

Antipyretics (literally "against the fire")

aredrugsthat reducefever.[1]

They will not normally

lower body temperature if one does not have a

fever. Antipyretics cause thehypothalamustooverride aninterleukin-induced increase in

temperature. The body will then work to lower the

temperature and the result is a reduction in

fever.Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory

drugs(NSAIDs) are antipyretic, anti-inflammatory,

and pain relievers. There is some debate over the

appropriate use of such medications, as fever is part

of the body'simmune responseto infection

NSAIDs likeibuprofen,naproxen sodium,andketoprofen.

Aspirin, and related salicylates like cholinesalicylate, magnesium salicylate, and

sodium salicylate

A diuretic is any drug that elevates the rate of

urination and thus provides a means of forceddiuresis. There are several categories of diuretics. All

diuretics increase the excretion of water from

bodies, although each class does so in a distinct way.

Diuretics are commonly defined as drugs that

increase the amount of urine produced by the

kidneys. A precise definition is that diuretics are

agents which augment the renal excretion of sodium

and either chloride or bicarbonate primarily, and

water excretion secondarily. Clinically diuretics are

the mainstay of treatment of hypertension and

edematous states like congestive heart failure,

cirrhosis with ascites, nephritic edema, and edemaor pregnancy.

any drug or agent able to destroy or expel intestinal

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are drugs that

expelparasiticworms(helminths) from the body, by

either stunning or killing them. They may also be

called vermifuges (stunning) or vermicides (killing).

exceptions

ofinsulin,exenatide,liraglutideandpramlintide, all

are administered orally and are thus also called oral

hypoglycemic agents or oral antihyperglycemic

agents. There are different classes of anti-diabetic

drugs, and their selection depends on the nature of

the diabetes, age and situation of the person, as well

as other factors.

Anti-Diabetic Drugs

Anti-diabetic drugs are used for the management of

diabetes

Antidiabetic drugs are medicines developed to

stabilise and control blood glucose levels amongst

people with diabetes. Antidiabetic drugs are

commonly used tomanage diabetes.

An antioxidant is amoleculethat inhibits

theoxidationof other molecules. Oxidation is

achemical reactionthat transferselectronsor

hydrogen from a substance to anoxidizing agent.

Oxidation reactions can producefree radicals.

There are a number of different types of antidiabetic

drug including:

Insulin Pramlintide (Amylin) GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as Byetta and Victoza) Oral hypoglycemics (tablets)

An anticarcinogen is any chemical which reduces the

occurrence ofcancers, reduces the severity ofcancers that do occur, or acts against cancers that do

occur, based on evidence fromin vitrostudies,

animal models,epidemiologicalstudies

and/orclinical studies

Antioxidants are substances that may protect your

cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radicals

are molecules produced when your body breaks

down food, or by environmental exposures like

tobacco smoke and radiation. Free radicals can

damage cells, and may play a role in heart disease,

cancer and other diseases.
