 Drug classifications can be extensive, as they categorize medications based on their chemical characteristics, therapeutic effects, and mechanisms of action. Here is a comprehensive list of major drug classifications:

### Based on Therapeutic Use
1. **Analgesics**:
   - Opioid analgesics (e.g., morphine, oxycodone)
   - Non-opioid analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen)
   - Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen)

2. **Antibiotics**:
   - Penicillins (e.g., amoxicillin)
   - Cephalosporins (e.g., ceftriaxone)
   - Macrolides (e.g., azithromycin)
   - Tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline)
   - Aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin)
   - Fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin)

3. **Antifungals**:
   - Azoles (e.g., fluconazole)
   - Echinocandins (e.g., caspofungin)
   - Polyenes (e.g., amphotericin B)

4. **Antivirals**:
   - Anti-HIV drugs (e.g., zidovudine)
   - Anti-influenza drugs (e.g., oseltamivir)
   - Anti-hepatitis drugs (e.g., sofosbuvir)

5. **Antidepressants**:
   - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (e.g., fluoxetine)
   - Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) (e.g., venlafaxine)
   - Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) (e.g., amitriptyline)
   - Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (e.g., phenelzine)

6. **Antipsychotics**:
   - Typical antipsychotics (e.g., haloperidol)
   - Atypical antipsychotics (e.g., risperidone)

7. **Anxiolytics**:
   - Benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam)
   - Non-benzodiazepines (e.g., buspirone)

8. **Anticonvulsants** (e.g., phenytoin, valproate)

9. **Antihypertensives**:
   - ACE inhibitors (e.g., lisinopril)
   - Beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol)
   - Calcium channel blockers (e.g., amlodipine)
   - Diuretics (e.g., furosemide)

10. **Antiarrhythmics** (e.g., amiodarone, digoxin)

11. **Antidiabetics**:
    - Insulins (e.g., insulin glargine)
    - Oral hypoglycemics (e.g., metformin, sulfonylureas)

12. **Lipid-lowering agents**:
    - Statins (e.g., atorvastatin)
    - Fibrates (e.g., fenofibrate)

13. **Diuretics**:
    - Thiazide diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide)
    - Loop diuretics (e.g., furosemide)
    - Potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone)

14. **Gastrointestinal drugs**:
    - Proton pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole)
    - H2 receptor antagonists (e.g., ranitidine)
    - Antacids (e.g., aluminum hydroxide)

15. **Hormonal agents**:
    - Corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone)
    - Estrogens (e.g., estradiol)
