How each medicine works

Medicines in this body system: 6

Potassium Chloride — Replaces potassium, the principal intracellular cation, needed for tonicity, nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction and renal function.
Anastrozole — Inhibits aromatase, blocking conversion of adrenal androgens to estrone and estradiol in postmenopausal women.
Sodium Fluoride — Topical fluoride gel applied in trays in the dental office as a preventive caries treatment.
Ascorbic Acid — Thought to restore the body pool of ascorbic acid in scurvy; the exact mechanism is unknown.
Calcium / Vitamin D — The selected label does not state a molecular mechanism.
Sodium Bicarbonate — Increases plasma bicarbonate, buffers excess hydrogen ions, and raises blood pH.

Each summary is the mechanism line from the medicine’s study card.
