Browse drug classes by letter:
Browsing medications by drug classes can be especially helpful if you are looking for alternatives to a drug you’ve been prescribed. You may be looking for a similar drug that doesn’t cause as many side effects or has fewer drug interactions. Drug prices are another good reason to look for drug alternatives. For example, by researching CNS stimulants, you may find that Adderall could be more affordable than Vyvanse. Use these drug class guides to inform conversations with your healthcare provider about finding the right medication for you.
