-afil

-caine

-pril
ACE Inhibitor (vasodilator; decreases BP and improves blood flow to the heart)
-pam, -lam
Benzodiazepine (depressants that produce sedation and hypnosis, relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, and reduce seizures)

antilipidemics

-phylline

-dine
H2 antagonists (block the action of histamine at the histamine H2 receptors of the parietal cells in the stomach. This decreases the production of stomach acid)
