5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancer, such as breast, colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, head and neck, and skin cancer (including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma). It belongs to a class of drugs called antimetabolites, which work by interfering with the synthesis of DNA and RNA in cancer

Milrinone is a medication used to treat heart failure, particularly in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. It belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase-3 (PDE-3) inhibitors. By inhibiting PDE-3, milrinone increases the levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in cardiac muscle cells. This, in turn, enhances calcium ion influx, leading to increased contractility
