Female Reproductive System Drugs
The female reproductive system works in a cyclical fashion and altering the components of this cycle can have a variety of effects to the body. Hormones and hormonal-like agents are primarily the drugs that affect the female reproductive system.
Neuromuscular Junction Blocking Agents
NMJ-blocking agents block nerve stimulation on muscle cells and cause paralysis of the muscles directly without total CNS depression and its many systemic effects.
General and Local Anesthetics
Anesthetics are drugs used to cause complete or partial loss of sensation.
Psychological Therapies
Here are the most common psychotherapies being practiced today:
Anxiolytic and Hypnotic Drugs
Anxiolytic-hypnotics agents are used to alter an individual’s responses to environmental stimuli. These agents are referred to as anxiolytics (prevent feelings of tension or fear), sedatives (help patient feel calm and unaware of their environment), and hypnotics (help patients sleep).

Newborn Reflexes
Newborn reflexes are involuntary, automatic movements or responses exhibited by infants shortly after birth, triggered by specific stimuli. These innate reflexes are typically temporary, gradually diminishing as the baby’s nervous system matures, making them essential components of nursing assessments in early neonatal care.
Muscle Relaxants
Skeletal muscle relaxants are agents that can treat both temporary and permanent neuronal damage. They do this by interfering with the pain and spasm cycle.
