Let me start by saying that this list is in no means complete but it's a good little start. To my knowledge these are accurate. It's just a list I had started to compile as I study for my Nclex-RN. The following are a list of suffix in meds to help identify them. like -cillin and penicillin etc.

-azepam (benzodiazepine)

-azine (antiemetic; phenothiazide)

-azole (proton pump inhibitor)

-barbital (barbiturate)

-cillin (penicillin)

-cycline (antibiotic)

-ipramine (Tricyclic antidepressant)

-navir (protease inhibitor)

-olol (beta antagonist)

-oxin (cardiac glycoside)

-phylline (bronchodilator)

-pril (ACE inhibitor)

-terol (Beta 2 Agonist)

-tidine (H2 Antagonist)

-trophin (Pituitary Hormone)

-zosin (alpha 1 Antagonist)

-statin (cholesterol lowering agent)

-sartan (angiotensin receptor blocker)

-sone (glucocorticoid)

-mycin (anti-infective, aminoglycosides)

-vir (anti-viral)

-coxib (cox 2 enzyme blockers)

-caine (anesthetics)

-mab (monoclonal antibiotics)

-stigmine (cholinergics)

-thiazide (diuretic)

-ase (thrombolytic)

and one prefix

ceph or cef- (cephalosporins)

No - old resource from a long time ago. You could do a search on Google Books and probably find some great stuff.
