Sodium chloride inhalation solution is a sterile saline (saltwater) solution used with a nebulizer to help moisten the airways, loosen mucus, and make it easier to breathe. It is commonly used in conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, and other respiratory disorders where mucus clearance is important. This solution can also be used to dilute other inhaled medications. Available in concentrations like 0.9% (normal saline), it works by hydrating the airway surfaces, which can help reduce irritation and promote productive coughing. Sodium chloride inhalation solution is typically well tolerated and used multiple times daily based on individual needs or healthcare provider instructions.

Lidocaine oral solution is a topical anesthetic that alleviates pain in and around the mouth and throat. This formulation is swished or gargled throughout the mouth to provide pain relief that needs more than just a tablet. This product must not be used in open wounds or in the presence of infection.

Benzonatate is a non-opioid cough suppressant used for the symptomatic relief of cough caused by the common cold, influenza (flu), and other acute respiratory illnesses. Benzonatate works to relax the cough reflex by acting directly on the throat and lungs.

Oseltamivir is an influenza antiviral used for both the treatment and prevention of the flu. It must be started within 48 hours of exposure for maximal effectiveness. It is not a substitute for the seasonal flu vaccine and can be taken by vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.  

Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication commonly used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. It is prescribed to treat a wide range of conditions, including autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, allergic reactions, asthma, and certain types of cancer. Prednisone works by mimicking the effects of cortisol, a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands, helping to decrease swelling, redness, and immune activity. 

Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall formation, leading to the destruction of the bacteria. Amoxicillin is commonly prescribed in capsule form for its effectiveness and ease of use. To ensure the best results, it should be taken exactly as prescribed, and the full course should be completed even if symptoms improve early, to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Methylprednisolone is an oral steroid used to treat inflammation or pain caused by acute flares of arthritis, gout, and lupus. It is also used to treat allergic-type reactions such as seasonal allergies, asthma, skin rashes and itching by suppressing the immune system.

Azithromycin is an oral antibiotic used for a wide range of bacterial infections. When taken as a five day regimen, a ‘Z-Pak’ is often used to target bacteria associated with upper respiratory tract infections, including community acquired pneumonia. 

This selection of medications includes commonly prescribed treatments for a variety of acute conditions. Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) 75mg, taken twice daily for five days, is an antiviral used to treat and reduce the severity and duration of influenza symptoms when started early. Z-Pack (Azithromycin 250mg) is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as bronchitis, sinusitis, and pneumonia, typically administered over a 5-day course. Lidocaine viscous solution 2% is a topical anesthetic used to relieve pain or discomfort in the mouth, throat, or esophagus, often in cases of oral irritation or ulcerations. Benzonatate 100mg is a non-narcotic cough suppressant that works by numbing the throat and lungs to reduce the cough reflex. Albuterol inhaler (200 puffs) is a short-acting beta-agonist used for the rapid relief of bronchospasm in conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Ondansetron 4mg ODT is an oral disintegrating tablet used to prevent nausea and vomiting. Medrol Dose Pack (methylprednisolone) is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation in conditions such as allergic reactions, arthritis, and respiratory illnesses. Ibuprofen 600mg is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and decrease inflammation in conditions like musculoskeletal pain, dental pain, and menstrual cramps.

Augmentin is a combination antibiotic containing amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, ear infections, sinusitis, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. Amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, works by stopping bacterial growth, while clavulanate potassium helps prevent bacterial resistance by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes. This combination enhances effectiveness against certain antibiotic-resistant bacteria, making Augmentin a broad-spectrum treatment option.
