General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Azythromycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infection (throat, respiratory tract, etc). Triamterene is a diuretic, together with atenolol they are used to treat hypertension and increased heart rate. Pravastatin is a statin used to treat hypercholesterolemia. Levothyroxine is used to treat thyroid problems, while finasteride to treat enlarged prostate (if you're male of gender; otherwise there might be other problems).

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
