Medication List Handout Medical Documentation and Scribing
© 2015, ABC Scribes, Ltd, all rights reserved Broad grouping is given at the top of each short list. Each broad grouping is based on the general use of the medication. This is only a very small sample of possible groupings. If you scribe with a specialist, you will be expected to learn more of the medications that are used in that specialty. There are many groups not represented here. Drug classes: Many drugs are related to other drugs in both function and chemical composition. These would be considered to be in the same drug “class.” This gives options within a class to chose drugs with slightly different actions (‘profiles’) than other drugs in the class. Some may work better in one patient than another. An example would be: “beta-‐blockers,” a class of drugs that slows the heart and reduces blood pressure. Within a class, the generic names tend to sound similar such as atenolol and propranolol (note the similar ending). Trade and generic names -‐ every drug has a generic and one or more trade names (often dozens). Below you will only see both the generic and Trade names in most cases. This will be the more commonly used Trade name. The generic will be listed first. Note in the following list, generics are always lowercase and trade name drugs are capitalized. Antimicrobials (antibiotics for bacteria, antifungals for fungus, antivirals for viruses)
