Cardiac drugs

There are two broad types that IMO are of interest to us here: cholesterol lowering (e.g. statins) and antihpertensives (blood pressure lowering agents). The latter includes diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers.

Statins: Lipitor, Lescol, Lipostat, Zocor, Altocor, Pravachol, Crestor, Baycol
Ace inhibitors: Enalapril, Lisinopril, Quinapril, Ramipril
Diuretics: Mannitol, Acetazolamide, Sulfonamide, a Thiazide, Spironolactone
Beta-blockers: Atenolol, Metoprolol, Propranolol
Calcium channel blockers: Nifedipine, Diltiazem, Verapamil

You can see how they perhaps get up to around 20 drugs...
