Clue
Drug
CNS stimulant, indirectly acting sympathomimetic (IAS)
amphetamines
peptide hormone produced by beta cells in pancreas
insulin
Loop diuretic, inhibits NKCC2 in thick ascending limb of loop of Henle
furosemide
non-selective beta agonist
isoprenaline
blocks voltage-gated sodium channels, used as local anaesthetic or class I antidysrhythmic
lidocaine
predominantly beta-1 adrenergic agonist
dobutamine
prevents vesicular release of ACh, causing paralysis of muscles
botulinum toxin
competitive inverse agonist of muscarinic cholinergic receptors, non-selective
atropine
thiazide diuretic, inhibits sodium reabsorption at beginning of DCT
bendroflumethiazide
endogenous catecholamine, favours beta adrenergic receptors
adrenaline
potassium-sparing diuretic, blocks eNaC in DCT
amiloride
class III antidysrhythmic agent, prolongs phase 3 of cardiac action potential
amiodarone
clinically used cardiac glycoside, inhibits sodium/potassium ATPase in myocardium
digoxin
selective beta-1 adrenergic antagonist
atenolol
osmotic diuretic
mannitol
reversible AChE inhibitor, used to improve muscle tone in myasthenia gravis
neostigmine
Clue
Drug
proton-pump inhibitor
omeprazole
cardiac glycoside not clinically used, historically used in poison arrows
ouabain
antibiotic, discovered by Fleming
penicillin
short-acting beta-2 agonist
salbutamol
non-depolarising blocking agent, competes for cholinergic receptors at motor end plates.
vecuronium
diuretic - carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
Acetazolamide
NSAID, COX inhibitor
aspirin
depolarising neuromuscular blocker, acting on nicotinic receptors
suxamethonium
L-type calcium channel blocker
verapamil
nicotinic cholinergic receptor antagonist
tubocurarine
H2 histamine receptor antagonist
ranitidine
potassium-sparing diuretic, aldosterone antagonist
spironolactone
binds to voltage-gated sodium channels, blocking passage of sodium ions, found in pufferfish
tetrodotoxin
non-selective beta adrenergic receptor blocker
propranolol
Class Ib antidysrhythmic, used in treatment of some forms of long QT syndrome
mexiletine

There are multiple drugs that fit these descriptions(non-selective beta antagonists/COX inhibitors, etc.), but the creator is looking for specific examples of these drugs.
