The grouping to which a medication belongs.
Drug Class
The medications effects on the body, as determined by Onset, Peak, & Duration.
Pharmacokinetics
Strong evidence that supports the use of the procedure/medication, the benefit is greater than the risk, and the interventions should be performed/administered.
Class I
Moderate evidence that the benefit is greater than the risk, the interventions is reasonable, and the interventions may be useful.
Class IIa
Weak evidence that the benefit is greater than the risk, intervention may be considered.
Class IIb
No benefit, evidence is weak, benefit equals the risk, and the interventions should not be performed/administered.
Class III
There is strong evidence that the risk is greater than the benefit, the interventions should/procedure should not be performed.
Class III
How a medication affects the body, how it alters or processes within the body
