SSRIs (Selecive Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors used to treat depression, anxiety , and other disorders.
SSRIs increase serotonin levels by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin into the presynaptic cell. This increases the serotonin available to bind to the postsynaptic serotonin receptor.

Antihistamines are used to treat allergy symptoms.
Antihistamines (histamine antagonist) block the action of histamine at the H1 and H2 histamine receptors. Antihistamines that primarily block the H1 receptor are used to treat allergies.
Allergens interact with immune cells to cause the release of histamine, which binds to the H1 receptor on other cells to produce the symptoms of an allergic reaction.
Inhibition of histamine binding to target cells reduces allergic symptoms.
*Also contains Pseudoephedrine

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (Statins) are a class of drugs that lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis in the liver and other tissues. Statins also increase the production of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors, causing lower serum LDL levels.
Statins are effective at lowering LDL cholesterol levels by as much as 60%.
Statins also reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Statins are well-tolerated, but have two rare but significant side effects: liver and muscle injury.
Three statins are available in generic form.
