On this episode of the Top 200 Drugs Podcast, I cover medications 146-150. This podcast includes; sevelamer, dalteparin, sertraline, clonazepam, and irbesartan.

Sevelamer is a phosphate binder that is used to treat hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Dalteparin is a low molecular weight heparin product that is used to prevent and treat blood clots.

Sertraline is a commonly used SSRI that can be helpful in managing depression and anxiety.

Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine that can be used for acute relief of anxiety. Sedation, confusion, and fall risk are potential adverse effects.

Irbesartan is an ARB that can be used for hypertension. Hyperkalemia and angioedema are two adverse effects to be aware of.
