Since anti means "against, " a large percentage of these categories begin with the prefix "anti, " and these categories describe the disorder that the drug is intended to treat.

The specific thing that the drug does on the molecular level in order to induce the desired physiological effect is defined by pharmacological classification. This classification means that these drugs have similar characteristics and similar chemical makeup.

medications that can be purchased without a prescription. Some over-the- counter medications help with aches, pains, and itching.

____ drugs are often powerful treatments, which is why they require a doctor's or dentist's prescription.

There is a virus or bacteria that triggers certain cancers. The human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer, hepatitis B and C viruses, which can cause liver cancer, and the Epstein- Barr virus, which can cause a form of lymphoma, are several cancer-associated viruses. Likewise, Helicobacter pylori can cause gastric cancer.

Ionizing radiation has enough energy to damage DNA and cause cancer. Ionizing radiation includes radon, x-rays, gamma rays, and other forms of high-energy radiation. Lower-energy, non-ionizing forms of radiation, such as visible light and the energy from cell phones, have not been found to cause cancer in people. UV rays can also damage the DNA in our skin cells and lead to skin cancer.
