Hi,

Below are some classifications of skin drugs from two sources (second one fr Wikipedia). Is there a good way to arrange these for study/learning?

anticholinergic drugs, beta-blockers/timolol maleate,

alpha-2 adrenergic agonists,

carbonic anhydrase inhibitors/acetazolamide,

anti-inflammatory/diclofenac; neomycin-polymyxin B-hydrocortisone/Cortisporin Otic;

retinoids/isotretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, sunscreen, emollients, enzymes, heratolytics, antiseptics, corticosteroids
