An antidepressant is a medication used primarily in the treatment of depression. Depression can occur if some of the chemicals called neurotransmitters in the brain are not functioning effectively. There are three specific chemicals that can affect a person's mood: serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine. Antidepressants affect one or more of these chemicals in different ways to help stabilize the chemical imbalance often seen in depression.
Zoloft
SERTRALINE (Zoloft®) is used for treating depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It may be used to treat panic disorder or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It may also be used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD; a severe form of premenstrual syndrome) or social anxiety disorder. Zoloft is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by restoring the balance of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain, which helps to improve certain mood problems.
CITALOPRAM (Celexa®) is an antidepressant used for treating depression. It works by restoring the balance of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain, which helps to improve certain mood problems.
ZIPRASIDONE (Geodon®) treats the symptoms of schizophrenia. Such symptoms may include hearing or seeing things that others do not, suspiciousness of others, mistaken beliefs, or withdrawal from normal activities, family and friends. This drug may also help treat some other emotional problems. The injection is often used to treat an immediate emotional difficulty, like agitation or hallucinations.
FLUVOXAMINE (Luvox®) helps people with an obsessive-compulsive disorder. It relieves the anxiety and unpleasant thoughts that make a person repeat everyday tasks (like hand-washing). Fluvoxamine is also used as an antidepressant, and may be used to treat other conditions such as panic disorder, premenstrual syndrome, or traumatic stress.
RISPERIDONE (Risperdal® Consta™) helps to treat schizophrenia. Risperidone can help you to keep in touch with reality and reduce your mental problems. Occasionally risperidone is used to treat other mood disturbances.
OLANZAPINE (Zyprexa) is used for treating schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic. Exactly how it works is not known. It is thought to affect certain substances in the brain.
EFFEXOR (Elavil®) is used for treating depression. Elavil is a tricyclic antidepressant. It increases the activity of certain chemicals in the brain (norepinephrine, serotonin), which help improve mood.
ACETAZOLAMIDE (Diamox®) helps to treat glaucoma, certain types of epilepsy or seizure disorders. It can also help mountain climbers who get altitude or mountain sickness.
A generic drug (pl. generic drugs, short: generics) is a drug which is identical, or bioequivalent to a brand name pill in quality, performance characteristics, dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, performance characteristics . Generics must contain the same active ingredients as the original formulation.
New medicines, like other recently contrived products, manufacture and distribute under patent protection. The patent protects the investment in the drug's development by giving the company the sole right to sell the medicine while the patent is in effect. When patents or other periods of exclusivity expire, manufacturers can apply to the FDA to sell generic versions. The ANDA process does not require the drug sponsor to repeat costly animal and clinical research on ingredients or dosage forms already approved for safety and effectiveness. This applies to drugs first marketed after 1962.

What is Viagra
Sildenafil (Viagra) is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Erection is mediated by the release of nitric oxide in the corpus cavernosum of the penis. Nitric oxide stimulates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, which increases levels of cGMP; it is this response that creates smooth muscle relaxation and blood flow. A substance called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) leads to the degradation of cGMP. Sildenafil increases the availability of cGMP. Randomized controlled clinical trials demonstrate improved sexual performance as measured by firmness of erection, ability to maintain erection after penetration, as well as satisfaction and enjoyment with intercourse. The usual recommended dose is 50 mg administered 30-60 minutes prior to intercourse, with maximum recommended dosing frequency once per day. Clinical trials regarding the use of sildenafil to treat opioid-induced sexual dysfunction, in men or women, have not been conducted.
