Parasympathetic cholinergic antagonists (muscarinic)
sea sick =Scopolamine/Hyoscine aka.SPASMOLYTIC DRUGS (muscle tone + secretions)
alice= Atropine (For Cardiac Arrest, Bradycardia, Anasthesia, Antidonte)

D-extra-orphans = Dextrapopoxyphene
propionic acid derivatives
“-ofen”
and naproxen
enololic acid derivatives
- oxicams
* Meloxicam has greater selectivity for COX2
NON OPIATE ANALGESICS
Sometimes= Some Pyrazolones Pauls= Paraaminophenols Peen = Propionic Acid Derivatives Satisfies= Salicilates Anal= Acetic Acid Derivatives Ass = Antralic Acid Derivatives Sometimes = Selective COX2 Inhibitors Other = Oxicams orfices= Others now = Nicotinic
B2 agonists
“-ol”
Short:
SallyBum = Salbutamol
Terbine - Terbutaline
LONG/Slow Onset of Action
Indacaterol
Salmeterol

Tryptan
“-tryptan”
antimigrane
1st GENERATOIN ANTIEPILEPTICS
dying= Diphenylhydantoin carbon= Carbamazepine phenotype= Phenobarbital validated= Valproic Acid
2nd generation antiepileptics
Pre= Pregabalin Gaba= Gabapentin Lame= Lamotrigene Topper= Topiramate Levatating= Levetiracetam Vigilante= Vigabatrin
Used for REFRACTORY EPILEPSY (difficult to treat)and have FEWER interactions than 1st
Muscle relaxants - depolarizing blocking
“-methonium”
Decamethonium
Suxamethonium - Succinylcholine
Muscle relaxants - non-depolarizing blocking
“-curonium” OR tubocurarine (CURARINE)
Pan =Pancuronium Rod= Rocuronium Time = Tubocurarine Attracts = Atratcurium Crayons = Cis-atcurium

Other antidepressants
The Office machines
Venlafaxine = fax machine (treats anxiety)
Stanley upset at the fax machine = causes headache and hypertension
Duloxetine = dual copier/scanner
Less cardiovascualr &no Anticholinergic Side E
inhibits norepinephrine and serotonin
SSRI’s
