Genito Urinary System

The structure of the urinary tract includes: the kidneys two ureters (tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder ) and the urethra a tube leading from the bladder to the exterior of the body. The urinary tract is a little like a plumbing system with special pipes that allow water and salts to flow through them.

The genitourinary system or urogenital system is the organ system of the reproductive organs and the urinary system. These are grouped together because of their proximity to each other their common embryological origin and the use of common pathways like the male urethra.

A sex organ or primary sexual characteristic as narrowly defined is any of the anatomical parts of the body which are involved in sexual reproduction and constitute the reproductive system in a complex organism; in mammals.

The urinary system (also called excretory system or the genitourinary system) is the organ system that produces stores and eliminates urine. In humans it includes two kidneys two ureters the bladder the urethra and the penis in males. The analogous organ in invertebrates is the nephridium.

A. Antiviral:
Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used specifically for treating viral infections. Like antibiotics, specific antivirals are used for specific viruses. Antiviral drugs are one class of antimicrobials, a larger group which also includes antibiotic, antifungal and antiparasitic drugs. They are relatively harmless to the host, and therefore can be used to treat infections. They should be distinguished from viricides, which actively deactivate virus particles outside the body. Examples of Antiviral drugs are as follows:

Brand Names Generic Prescription (Rx) Drugs
viramune nevirapine

B. Diuretic:
A diuretic is any drug that elevates the rate of bodily urine excretion (diuresis). There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from the body, although each class of diuretic does so in a distinct way. Examples of Diuretics are as follows:

Brand Names Generic Prescription (Rx) Drugs

C. Impotence Drugs:
Impotence drugs are used to treat male impotence which is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis. There are various underlying causes, such as cardiovascular leakage and diabetes, many of which are medically treatable. Nerve trauma from prostatectomy surgery can cause chronic erectile dysfunction. Examples of Impotence Drugs are as follows:
