Q

Noradrenaline pharmacodynamics

A

similar to epinephrine, especially on arterioles and small veins VC and TPR increase, increase SBP and DBP, compensatory vagal reflex slows heart rate, cardiac output decrease, CBF increase

Q

Dopamine pharmacodynamics

A

Positive inotropism (activates B1, increased myocardial contractility, increased cardiac output), increase SBP little effect DBP, low doses enhance GFR, RBF, increase plasma Cl

16
Q

Dopamine indications

A

shock (in patients with oliguria, low diuresis - cariogenic, traumatic, hypovolemic) , acute pulmonary edema, chronic refractory congestive heart failure

17
Q

Dopamine SE

A

tachycardia, arrhythmia, angina

18
Q

Dobutamine mechanism

A

direct B1 agonist, no dopaminergic receptors

19
Q

Dobutamine pharmacodynamics

A

strong positive inotropic, limited increase in HR (medium chronotropic), increase CO and CBF

20
Q

Dobutamine indications

A

congestive HF (after MI), chronic congestive HF

21
Q

Dobutamine SE

A

arrhythmia (ventricular ectopy), increased ventricular rate in AFib, angina

22
Q

Ephedrine mechanism

A

mixed, indirectly by releasing NE in sympathetic ends, directly by acting on a and B

23
Q

Ephedrine pharmacodynamics

A

Similar to epinephrine & NE, lasts longer and not destroyed by MAO, high SBP and DBP by cardiac stimulation and VC

24
Q

Ephedrine indications

A

hypotension, rhinitis (decongestant), bronchial asthma (not often due to tachyphylaxis)

25
Q

Sympatholytic Alpha blockers - Synthetic Nonselective (a1 and a2)

A

phentolamine, phenoxybenzamine, tolazoline

26
Q

Symp. Alpha blockers - Synthetic selective (a1)

A

doxazosin, prazosin, terazosin

27
Q

Symp Alpha blockers Natural ergot alkaloids ANTIMIGRAIN

A

ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, methysergide

28
Q

Symp Alpha blockers Natural ergot alkaloids ANTIISCHEMIA

A

ergotoxine, dihydroergotoxine

29
Q

Symp Alpha blockers Natural ergot alkaloids UTERINE CONTRACTION STIMULANTS

A

nicergoline, ergometrine, methylergometrine

30
Q

Ergotamine mechanisms

A

glomerular a blocker after high doses; a adrenergic drug after low doses (therapeutic)

31
Q

Ergotamine pharmacodynamics

A

antimigraine, weak increase in uterine tone

32
Q

Ergotamine therapeutic uses

A

Migraine, vascular cause headaches

33
Q

Ergotoxine pharmacodynamics

A

VD by eliminating spasms, increases CBF, retinal BF, muscular BF, if sympathetic tone is increased in VW: bradycardia

34
Q

Ergotoxine indications

A

Chronic treatment in : cerebral atherosclerosis, ischemic cerebral, retinal circulation, vestibular; Raynaud, obliterating arteriopathies (low efficiency)

35
Q

Ergometrine pharmacodynamics

A

Stimulates tone, frequency, amplitude of uterine contraction, hemostatic uterine action closing venous sinuses in myometrium

36
Q

Ergometrine indications

A

prophylaxis and treatment of postpartum and post- abortum bleedings, lochie retention
