Different types of drugs Antacids-Drug used to lower down the acidity in our stomach. Examples: Sodium bicarbonate,Milk of magnesia,ranitidine(Zantac) Antipyritic-Drug used to lower down the body temperature. Example:Paracetamol. Analgesic-Drug which gives relief from pain

Example:Aspirin,Ibuprofen. Antiseptic-are the chemical substance used to prevent the growth of microorganism. Example: Dettol(It is a mixture of chloroxylenol &1,tepineol),savlon,tincture of iodine(2-3% solution of iodine in alcohol &water),antiseptic used in bathing soap(bathional) Disinfectants-are chemical substances used to kill the micro organism Example:Phenol,DDT, Phenol in lower concentration use as antiseptic but in higher concentration used as disinfectant. Antihistamines-The drugs which is used to prevent the secretion of histamines & stop the allergy action Example:Bromphenyramine(avil),cetrizine,Benadryl(diphenyl hyramine)

Antifertality drug:The drug used to check the pregnancy & control the child birth. Example:Norethindrone,Novestrol. Tranquilizers:The drug used to cure the mental disorderness. Examples:Eqanil,Valium,Nardil,Meprobamate,Barbituric acid and its derivative

Broadspectrum Antibiotics:Antibiotics used to cure the large number of diseases. Example:Chloramphenicol,Ofloxacin,Ciprofloxacin etc. Chemicals in food : Food preservatives: Chemicals which is used to prevent the growth of micro-organism,yeast & fungi in food material Example: Sodium benzoate,Sodium metabisulphite,sorbic acid,salts,sugar etc.

Anti oxidants-are the chemicals prevent the oxidation of fats in processed food Example :BHT,BHA etc. Artificial sweetners-are chemicals that provide sweetness to food stuff as like as sugar Example:saccharine(500 times more sweeter than sucrose ) Aspartame(100 times more sweeter) Alatame(2000 times more sweeter

Soaps & Detergents- are the sodium salts of higher molecular masses fatty acids & aromatic acids. Types of detergents-cationic detergent –the dtergent in which the large hydrocarbon part is cation Example: cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide. Anionic detergent: the detergent in which the large hydrocarbon part is anionic Example:Sodiumdodecylbenzenesulphonate, sodiumlaurylsulphate.

Nonionicdetergent:The dtergent having no cationic and anionic part. Example:Polyethyleneglycol steriate. Difference between soaps &detergent 1.Soaps are biodegradable Detergents are nonbiodegradable. 2.Soap form lather with soft water while detergents form lather with soft &hard water.
