Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic. Hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene is a combination medicine that is used to treat fluid retention (edema) and high blood pressure (hypertension). hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene is usually given to people in whom other diuretics have caused hypokalemia (low potassium levels in your blood). Hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill). Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (sometimes called an ARB blocker). Hydrochlorothiazide and valsartan is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering blood pressure may lower your risk of a stroke or heart attack. Hydrochlorothiazide and valsartan is given after other blood pressure medicines did not work or have stopped working. Hydrochlorothiazide and valsartan may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Hydrocodone is an opioid pain medication. Zohydro ER and Hysingla ER are extended-release forms of hydrocodone that are used for around-the-clock treatment of severe pain. Extended-release hydrocodone is not for use on an as-needed basis for pain.
Hydrocodone and acetaminophen is a combination medicine used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Hydrocodone is an opioid pain reliever and cough suppressant that belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics, that work on the central nervous system. Acetaminophen is a non-opioid analgesic used for pain relief and to reduce fever. Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever that increases the effects of hydrocodone. Hydrocodone and acetaminophen tablets have been marketed under the brand names Norco (discontinued), Vicodin  (discontinued), Lortab (discontinued), Hycet (discontinued), Lorcet (discontinued), Verdrocet (discontinued), Xodol (discontinued), Zamicet (discontinued) and now generic hydrocodone and acetaminophen products are available.
Hydrocortisone cream is used to treat eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, hemorrhoids, insect bites or stings, and other skin conditions to help relieve itchy or inflamed skin.  It is also available as hydrocortisone ointment, suppositories, gel, and lotion. Hydrocortisone is a steroid medicine that works by decreasing inflammation and reducing an overactive immune system. Hydrocortisone cream and skin products should only be used on skin conditions that respond to steroids. Hydrocortisone creams, suppositories, and other topical products may contain other active ingredients, including antibiotics neomycin and polymyxin B sulfate when used for inflamed, infected skin, or hydrocortisone with pramoxine for hemorrhoids. Hydrocortisone, hydrocortisone butyrate, and hydrocortisone acetate are different medicines. Hydrocortisone butyrate 0.1% (Locoid) is stronger or more potent than hydrocortisone 2.5%, 1% and 0.5%.  Hydrocortisone acetate and hydrocortisone are both mild steroids. Hydrocortisone ointment is used on very dry skin and creates a barrier to lock in moisture. This also helps the active ingredient penetrate the skin, so it is more potent than creams and lotions. Creams are easier to apply to the skin, are absorbed quickly, and help keep the skin moisturized. Lotions are lighter and easier to apply to large areas of the body, hairy areas, or weeping skin. Gels are often used on the scalp because they don’t leave the hair greasy. Hydrocortisone tablets are used to treat asthma, allergic reactions, arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, adrenal insufficiency, lupus, certain cancers, and inflammatory conditions. It works to decrease inflammation, replace cortisol, or improve an overactive immune system.
Relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Nonprescription preparations used for temporary relief of minor skin irritations, itching, and rash caused by eczema, dermatitis, insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, soaps, detergents, cosmetics, or jewelry. Nonprescription preparations used for temporary relief of itchy anal and/or genital areas. Nonprescription preparations used for temporary relief of itching and minor scalp irritation caused by scalp dermatitis. Generally most effective in acute or chronic dermatoses (e.g., seborrheic or atopic dermatitis, localized neurodermatitis, anogenital pruritus, psoriasis, late phase of allergic contact dermatitis, inflammatory phase of xerosis). Topical therapy generally preferred over systemic therapy; fewer associated adverse systemic effects. Topical therapy generally only controls manifestations of dermatoses; eliminate cause if possible. Topical efficacy may be increased by using a higher concentration or occlusive dressing therapy. (See Administration with Occlusive Dressing under Dosage and Administration.) Response may vary from one topical corticosteroid preparation to another. Anti-inflammatory activity may vary considerably depending on the vehicle, drug concentration, site of application, disease, and individual patient. Topical treatment of infected dermatoses in combination with topical anti-infectives (e.g., neomycin, polymyxin B) or antifungals. If a topical corticosteroid is used in combination with a topical anti-infective, weigh benefits against risks. (See Skin Infection under Cautions.) Hydrocortisone acetate paste used as an adjunct for temporary symptomatic relief of oral inflammatory or ulcerative lesions resulting from trauma. Used rectally as a retention enema for adjunctive treatment of mild or moderate acute ulcerative colitis limited to the rectosigmoid or left colon. Used rectally as a retention enema for mild acute ulcerative colitis of the transverse or descending colon. Retention enema usually is effective in mild or moderate acute rectosigmoid ulcerative colitis when response to sulfasalazine (generally considered the maintenance drug of choice) is inadequate or when sulfasalazine cannot be given. Systemic corticosteroids and/or corticosteroid enemas are more effective than sulfasalazine in acute ulcerative colitis attacks, but if surgery is required, it should not be delayed in favor of corticosteroid therapy. Hydrocortisone acetate rectal suppositories or suspension (foam), may be effective as adjunctive treatment of rectal ulcerative colitis. Hydrocortisone acetate rectal suppositories also are used in the treatment of other anorectal inflammatory conditions (e.g., inflamed hemorrhoids, postirradiation or factitial proctitis, cryptitis, pruritus ani). Fixed-combination preparations of a corticosteroid and local anesthetic may be useful for symptomatic relief of anorectal conditions (e.g., hemorrhoids), but combinations with antihistamines, astringents, keratolytics, and/or vasoconstrictors are of questionable efficacy.
Hydromorphone is an opioid medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. The extended-release form of hydromorphone is for around-the-clock treatment of moderate to severe pain, not for use on an as-needed basis for pain. Hydromorphone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Used to reduce hyperpigmentation in conditions such as freckling (ephelides), inactive chloasma, melasma, generalized and senile lentigo, and other unwanted areas of melanin hyperpigmentation. Used for gradual treatment of ultraviolet-induced dyschromia and skin discoloration resulting from the use of oral contraceptives, pregnancy, hormone replacement therapy, or skin trauma. Most clinicians consider hydroquinone to be useful in some patients with hyperpigmentation in which a large excess of melanin is not being produced. Has been used to reduce hyperpigmentation caused by photosensitization associated with inflammation or with the use of certain perfumes. Used in combination with fluocinolone and tretinoin for short-term and intermittent long-term treatment of moderate to severe melasma.

Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of itching, or hives on the skin. Hydroxyzine may be used to treat allergic skin reactions such as hives or contact dermatitis. Since hydroxyzine also reduces activity in the central nervous system, it can be used as a sedative to treat anxiety and tension. It is also used together with other medications given during and after general anesthesia. Hydroxyzine is also used to treat allergic skin reactions such as hives or contact dermatitis.
For symptomatic relief of anxiety and tension associated with psychoneurosis and as an adjunct in organic disease states in which anxiety is manifested. Useful in the management of pruritus due to allergic conditions such as chronic urticaria and atopic and contact dermatoses, and in histamine-mediated pruritus. As a sedative when used as premedication and following general anesthesia, hydroxyzine may potentiate meperidine (Demerol ®) and barbiturates, so their use in pre-anesthetic adjunctive therapy should be modified on an individual basis. Atropine and other belladonna alkaloids are not affected by the drug. Hydroxyzine is not known to interfere with the action of digitalis in any way and it may be used concurrently with this agent. The effectiveness of hydroxyzine as an antianxiety agent for long-term use, that is, more than 4 months, has not been assessed by systematic clinical studies. The physician should reassess periodically the usefulness of the drug for the individual patient.

Hytrin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Hyzaar contains a combination of hydrochlorothiazide and losartan. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (sometimes called an ARB blocker). Losartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Hyzaar is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hyzaar is also used to lower the risk of stroke in certain people with heart disease.
Prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Risk factors for postmenopausal osteoporosis and related fractures include early menopause, advanced age, low bone mineral density (BMD), low body mass index (BMI), previous fracture or family history of fracture/osteoporosis, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, inadequate physical activity, low calcium and vitamin D intake, certain drugs (e.g., glucocorticoids), and medical conditions or diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, Cushing syndrome, hyperparathyroidism). Treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. In addition to adequate intake of calcium/vitamin D and other lifestyle modifications (e.g., exercise, avoidance of excessive alcohol and tobacco use), experts recommend that pharmacologic therapy for osteoporosis be considered in postmenopausal women with previous hip or vertebral fractures or low BMD; pharmacologic therapy also may be considered in postmenopausal women with low bone mass, although there is less evidence supporting overall fracture risk reduction in such patients. Use of a drug with proven efficacy in reducing fracture risk is recommended; bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate, risedronate, zoledronic acid, ibandronate) are recommended as one of several first-line drugs. Individualize choice of therapy based on potential benefits (with respect to fracture risk reduction) and adverse effects of therapy, patient preferences, comorbidities, and risk factors. Also has been used in the management of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis† [off-label]. American College of Rheumatology (ACR) recommends optimizing calcium and vitamin D intake and lifestyle modifications (e.g., diet, smoking cessation, weight-bearing or resistance-training exercise) in all patients receiving long-term glucocorticoid therapy; in addition, pharmacologic therapy with an oral bisphosphonate is recommended in patients who are considered to be at moderate-to-high risk of fracture. Oral bisphosphonates generally are preferred because of their demonstrated antifracture benefits, safety, and low cost.
Ibrance is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. Ibrance is used in men and women to treat HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Imbruvica (ibrutinib) is used to treat Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) in certain patients. Imbruvica is used to help slow cancer or disease progression in WM, CLL, SLL and cGVHD.  Imbruvica is taken once a day as a capsule, tablet or oral suspension.  Imbruvica works by blocking an enzyme called Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) which lowers the survival of cancerous B cells and slows the spread of CLL or SLL. In WM Imbruvica helps abnormal B cells move out of the nourishing environments in the lymph nodes, bone marrow, and other organs, and Imbruvica also inhibits specific immune cells that are involved in cGVHD. Imbruvica's mechanism of action is by directly inhibiting an enzyme, called Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK). It forms a covalent bond with a cysteine residue on the enzyme, preventing its activity. BTK works as a signaling molecule for the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) and cytokine receptor pathways. Activation of these pathways causes the proliferation of B cells and other interactions, and inhibition has been shown to reduce the growth and spread of malignant B cells. It belongs to the class of medicines known as BTK inhibitors. Imbruvica was first FDA-approved on November 13, 2013.
Imdur is a nitrate that dilates (widens) blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through them and easier for the heart to pump. Imdur is an extended release tablet used to prevent angina attacks (chest pain). Imdur will not treat an angina attack that has already begun.
Imfinzi is a type of immunotherapy used to treat types of lung cancer, biliary tract cancer (BTC), hepatocellular carcinoma, and endometrial cancer. Imfinzi works to reduce the growth and spread of cancer by helping the immune system find and recognize cancer cells and kill them.   Imfinzi (durvalumab) is from a class of medications called immune checkpoint inhibitors that work by attaching to a protein on the cancer cells called PD-L1 which stimulates the immune system against the cancer cells. Imfinzi is given as an infusion into a vein given every 2, 3 or 4 weeks, depending on your condition. Other medicines may be part of your treatment plan depending on the condition treated.

It contains clobetasol propionate 0.025% and should not be used for longer than 2 weeks. Impoyz cream is specially formulated using an ingredient called Transcutol that enhances the solubility of clobetasol and its permeation into plaques. This means that Impoyz is just as effective as other clobetasol creams but with half the usual concentration of clobetasol, which decreases its risk of side effects including absorption into the bloodstream. Transcutol is also less disrupting to the skin’s lamellar structure (a layer of lipids and water in the stratum corneum) than propylene glycol, which is traditionally used in creams to enhance drug solubility. Impoyz was FDA approved on December 1, 2017.
Imuran weakens your body's immune system, to help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted organ such as a kidney.

Inflectra (infliximab-dyyb) is a monocloncal antibody used to treat a range of inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Inflectra is a biological drug and one of four biosimilars of Remicade (infliximab). Biosimilar of Remicade are highly similar to it and are designed to have the same effect, but they are not identical. Inflectra works in the same way as the other versions of infliximab, by blocking the damage that results from too much tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Inflectra binds to TNF-alpha, which stops it from interacting with its receptors and certain activating processes. TNF-alpha is a protein and inflammatory cytokine which plays a key role in your normal immune response. It is involved in your inflammatory response and also helps to fight off infection and cancer. Some people, however, produce too much TNF-alpha and this can cause an autoimmune disease to develop. Inflectra was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2016, 18 years after the original version of infliximab was introduced. It was the first biosimilar of Remicade to be approved.
Infliximab is a type of biological therapy called a monoclonal antibody that may be used to treat certain autoimmune conditions characterized by inflammation such as: Instead of having generics, infliximab has biosimilars. Biosimilars are near-identical copies of the first brand of infliximab (Remicade) and just as safe and effective with similar dosing regimens. Although there are no clinically meaningful differences, they are usually significantly less expensive. There are four FDA-approved biosimilars of infliximab but only three are available on the U.S. market:
Ingrezza (valbenazine) is used to treat tardive dyskinesia and chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD), which are both body movement disorders. Ingrezza works by decreasing the amount of dopamine, in the nerve endings in the brain, which helps control body movements. Ingrezza is from a class of medicines called VMAT2 inhibitors, as it inhibits the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) in neurons. This medicine controls the symptoms of movement disorders but does not cure the conditions. Tardive dyskinesia is a nervous system disorder that causes repetitive, uncontrolled muscle movements, usually in the face (chewing, lip smacking, frowning, tongue movement, blinking, or eye movement). Tardive dyskinesia is often caused by long-term treatment with certain psychiatric medications. Chorea is a movement disorder that results in sudden involuntary movements. It can be caused by Huntington's disease (an inherited disease that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain).  Ingrezza became an FDA-approved medicine on April 11, 2017, for adults with tardive dyskinesia, and on August 18, 2023, and it became approved for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease. The chorea associated with Huntington's disease approval was based on positive results from the  KINECT-HD Phase 3 study and the ongoing KINECT-HD2 that showed an improvement in chorea severity with a statistically significant greater improvement in Total Maximal Chorea (TMC) score when compared to placebo. Ingrezza is available as capsules and Sprinkle capsules. The Ingrezza Sprinkle capsule can be opened and its contents sprinkled on soft food. This makes it easier to take for people who have difficulty swallowing capsules or for patients who prefer not to take capsules. 
Injectafer is an injectable iron replacement product that is injected into a vein and may be used to treat iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adults and children 1 year of age and older who have an intolerance to or an unsatisfactory response to oral iron, or IDA in adults with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease. Injectafer may also be used to improve exercise capacity in adults with iron deficiency and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II/III heart failure. Your body normally gets iron from the foods you eat. Iron helps your body produce red blood cells that carry oxygen through your blood to tissues and organs. Injectafer is usually given after oral (taken by mouth) iron replacement medicines have been tried without success. 100% of the iron in Injectafer is delivered to the bloodstream. Injectafer was FDA approved on July 25, 2013.
Inlyta is a prescription medicine that interferes with the growth of some cancer cells. Inlyta is used to treat advanced kidney cancer (advanced renal cell carcinoma). Inlyta is sometimes given after at least one other cancer treatment did not work or has stopped working. It is not known if Inlyta is safe and effective in children.
Inrebic (fedratinib) capsules are used for myelofibrosis (MF) in adults to reduce the symptoms of MF, including night sweats, itching, stomach pain, feeling full when eating, pain under the ribs on the left-hand side, and bone or muscle pain.  Inrebic also helps reduce the spleen volume. Inrebic works by blocking certain types of enzymes called Janus Associated Kinase 2 (JAK2) and so is called and JAK2 inhibitor. Myelofibrosis is a rare type of bone marrow disorder that causes extensive scarring in your bone marrow, which reduces the ability of the bone marrow to make blood cells. This leads to anemia that can cause weakness and tiredness, and MF may cause an enlarged spleen. Myelofibrosis is considered to be a chronic leukemia that can happen on its own, called primary myelofibrosis, or it can develop from another bone marrow disorder, which is called secondary myelofibrosis. Inrebic became an FDA-approved medicine on August 16, 2019, for the treatment of adult patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk primary or secondary (post-polycythemia vera or post-essential thrombocythemia) myelofibrosis.

Jardiance (empagliflozin) is an FDA-approved tablet used to help control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes and is also used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems in adults with heart failure or cardiovascular disease with type 2 diabetes. Jardiance lowers blood glucose levels (HbA1c) by helping the kidney increase the amount of glucose passing into the urine. Jardiance should be used together with diet and exercise when prescribed for type 2 diabetes. Jardiance 10mg tablets are also used for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults that have risk of disease prgression. In CKD Jardiance is used to reduce the risk of sustained decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death and hospitalization. Jardiance is from the class of medicines called SGLT-2 inhibitors (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors).  Jardiance works for type 2 diabetes by blocking SGLT-2 proteins located in the renal tubules of the kidneys, which are responsible for reabsorbing glucose back into the bloodstream. The way Jardiance works to reduce the risk of cardiovascular or heart failure is thought to be related to changes in heart muscle metabolism from favoring the use of glucose to using a more balanced combination of fatty acids, ketone bodies (ketone), branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and glucose. Jardiance also improves the heart's diastolic stiffness and diastolic function. Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition when your blood sugars (HbA1c) become too high because the body does not produce or use insulin normally.  Over time high blood sugar can cause serious health problems, including heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease. By having better control of blood sugar levels helps reduce the risk of complications of diabetes.

Jornay PM is a once-a-day capsule used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It contains a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant called methylphenidate hydrochloride. It's not known exactly how Jornay PM works in people with ADHD, but it is a stimulant that increases activity in the brain, especially in the areas that help regulate behavior and attention. It helps to boost the levels of dopamine and noradrenaline, which are chemical messengers (neurotransmitters), by preventing their re-uptake from the space between nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. Low levels of these chemical messengers have been found in people with ADHD. Jornay PM is taken in the evening. Each capsule contains two layers. The outside layer is designed to delay the release of the drug so that it doesn't start to be released until about 12 hours after it is taken. The inside layer extends the amount of time the drug is released into your body for. The two-layer approach is designed to help ensure Jornay PM is working when you wake up and keeps working during the day. Medications containing methylphenidate, such as Jornay PM, are schedule II federally controlled substances because they can be a target for people who abuse prescription medicines or street drugs. Selling or giving away Jornay PM may harm others, and is against the law. Jornay PM was approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018, although methylphenidate in another formulation was first approved many years earlier in 1955.
