Lotensin
Benazepril
Benazepril MOA
Prevents angiotensin I from being converted to angiotensin II by competitive inhibition, therefore preventing vasoconstriction.
Benazepril class
ACE inhibitor
Cogentin
Benztropine
Benztropine MOA
Anticholinergic and antihistaminic effects
Benztropine class
Anti-Parkinson agent, anticholinergic
Avastin
Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab MOA
Inhibits VEGF signaling pathways, therefore preventing vascular proliferation
Bevacizumab class
Antineoplastic, VEGF inhibitor
Lumigan
Bimatoprost
Bimatoprost MOA
Synthetic analog of prostaglandin; decreases intraocular pressure by increasing outflow of aqueous humor.
Bimatoprost class
Prostaglandin
Velcade
Bortezomib
Bortezomib MOA
Reversibly inhibits chymotrypsin-like activity at the 26S proteasome, leading to activation of signaling cascades, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis.
Bortezomib class
Antineoplastic, proteasome inhibitor
Lumify
Brimonidine
Brimonidine MOA
Alpha-2 adrenergic agonist; causes reduction of aqueous humor formation and increased uveoscleral outflow
Brimonidine class
Alpha-2 adrenergic agonist
Suboxone
Buprenorphine/Naloxone
Buprenorphine/Naloxone MOA
Buprenorphine - exerts analgesic effect via high affinity binding receptors in the CNS; partial mu agonist and weak kappa antagonist
Naloxone - opioid antagonist that competes with and displaces opioids at opioid receptor sites
Buprenorphine/Naloxone class
Opioid analgesic/opioid partial agonist
Zyban
Bupropion
Wellbutrin
Bupropion
Bupropion MOA
Inhibits neuronal uptake of norepinephrine and dopamine
