25. Pharmacology III (Steroidal Drugs-Alcohol) Flashcards
Drugs with suffix of -sone and -lone
Steroidal drugs
Mechanism of action of STEROIDS: Inhibits what enzyme?
Inhibits phospholipase A2❌
Resulting to decrease Arachidonic acid⬇️
*Pharmacologic uses of steroids:
✅Anti-inflammatory- ❌prostaglandins/prostacyclins
✅ Immunosuppressant - induces “Lympholysis” (sinisira yung lymphocytes) - used during AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
✅ Prevents graft rejection and prosthetic rejection
- ex. End stage renal disease: kidney transplant=para hindi iattack ng immune system ung kidney grafts)
✅Treatment for Addison’s disease (⬇️cortisol)
- give corticosteroids bec it is similar to cortisol
BQ: rx app of corticosteroids
Bilateral mandibular radiolucency
Corticosteroids are used for treatment of Addison’s disease; but it may cause Addison’s disease for normal patients (adrenal cortex atrophy)
- Zona fasciculata waits for “ACTH” coming from Anterior pituitary gland before secreting cortisol
- Ant pit gland receives “CRH” from the Hypothalamus
- If patients take CORTICOSTEROIDS which mimics cortisol = iniisip ng hypothalamus ⬆️cortisol levels so i-⬇️ CRH; ⬇️ACTH; ⬇️cortisol = ADDISON’S DISEASE
BQ: Before surgical extraction, what will you do if the patient is under long term steroidal therapy
“Double the dose”
Antipsychotic drugs are aka: (3)
Major tranquilizers
Neuroleptic agents
Hallucinogens
Drugs that affect mood and mental process
Antipsychotic drugs
Type of psychotic disorders caused by EXCESSIVE DOPAMINE LEVELS
Schizophrenia
Deficient dopamine levels ⬇️
Parkinson’s
*“potent D2” dopamine receptor antagonist than D1
First generation antipsychotic drugs
Adverse effect of First generation antipsychotic drugs
Extra pyramidal syndrome or “Tardive dyskinesia” or “Parkinsonism like symptoms”
BQ: First generation antipsychotics drugs (pinapaexcept sa boards)
Phenothiazines - (Chlorpromazine)
Butyrophenones - (droperidol)
Thioxanthenes
“Weak D2” receptor antagonist
Second generation antipsychotic drugs
Adv of second generation vs first gen antipsychotic drugs
No tardive dyskinesia in 2nd gen
ex. clozapine
“bipolar disorder”
Manic-Depressive syndrome
DOC for Manic depressive syndrome/ Bipolar disorder:
Antipsychotic drug: “LITHIUM ION”✅
Pag mania lang nacocontrol ng lithium ion add antidepressant: “TCA” (amitriptyline
BQ: most common TCA: for depression
Amitriptyline
Patients presents with “Tic”
Tic:
- habitual spasmodic muscle contractions
- uttering words
Tourette’s syndrome
