-Urinary retention
-UTI
-Headache

51
Q

class: anti cholinergic

A

oxybutynin

52
Q

oxybutynin MOA

A

block the action of acetylcholine (acetylcholine activates smooth muscle contractions) can be extended release

53
Q

oxybutynin indications

A

overactive bladder, incontinence

54
Q

oxybutynin SE

A

-dry mouth
-constipation

55
Q

class: serotonin re uptake inhibitor (SSRI)

A

fluoxetine

56
Q

fluoxetine MOA

A

-inhibitors of serotonin at nerve endings
-more serotonin is available at the nerve endings

57
Q

fluoxetine SE

A

-wt gain
-GI & dry mouth
-CNS: headache, nervousness, insomnia
-sexual dysfunction
-serotonin syndrome (serotonin overall)
-withdraw if not weaned
-suicide risk
-neonatal effect (small risk of pulmo HTN)

58
Q

fluoxetine advantages

-few drug-drug/drug-food

59
Q

fluoxetine nursing consideration

A

avoid use w/ MAO inhibitors

60
Q

class: serotonin & norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors

A

venlafazine

61
Q

venlafazine MOA

A

blocks neuronal activity of serotonin and norepinephrine (more serotonin in synaps)

62
Q

venlafazine SE

nausea, headache, anorexia, insomnia, somnolence, sexual dysfunction, withdrawal syndrome, sweating, blurred vision, increased LFTs

63
Q

venlafazine nursing considerations

do not use with MAO inhibitors

64
Q

class: tricyclic antidepressants

A

amitryptaline

65
Q

amitryptaline MOA

A

blocks reuptake of 2 momoamine transmitters, norepinephrine & serotonin, making more available in the synapse

lams & pams
-alprazolam
-diazepam
-lorazepam

77
