- Nootropil
- Sydnocarb
Which CNS stimulants are the agents of selective effect?
Psychostimulants
Indicate CNC stimulating drugs, which are the agents of general action
Analeptics
Which agents belongs to psychostimulants?
Meridil
Indicate the nootropic agent
Piracetam
Which agents is a respiratory analeptic?
Bemegride
Indicate the CNC stimulating drug, which belongs to adaptogens
Eleuterococci extract
Actoprotectors are
Stimulators, improving physical efficiency
Adaptogens cause
Increased resistance towards stress situations and adaptation to extreme conditions
Indicate the CNS stimulants, which mitigate conditions of weakness or lack of tone within the entire organism or in particular organs?
General tonics
Which agents is a general tone-increasing drug of plant origin?
Eleuterococci′s extract
Indicate a general tone-increasing drug, which is an agent of animal origin?
Pantocrin
Amphetamine
- Is a powerful stimulant of the CNS
- Stimulates the medullar respiratory center and has an analeptic action
- Increases motor and speech activity, mood, decreases a sense of fatigue
The mechanism of amphetamine action is related to
- Direct catecholamiergic agonist action
- Inhibition of monoamine oxydase
- Increasing a release of catecholaminergic neurotransmitters
Indicate the CNS stimulant, which is a piperidine derivative
Meridil
Which CNS psychostimulants is a sydnonymine derivative?
Sydnocarb
Sydnocarb causes
Decreased sense of fatigue, it facilitates the professional work and fights somnolence
Indicate the psychostimulant, which is a methylxantine derivative
Caffeine
Which of the following psychostimulants acts centrally mainly by blocking adenosine receptors?
Caffeine
Principal properties of caffeine include
- Cardiac analeptic (increase the rate and the force of the cardiac contraction)
- Psychoanaleptic (decrease the feeling of tiredness, facilitates the professional work and fights somnolence)
- Respiratory analeptic (stimulate the bulbar respiratory center)
Principal properties of caffeine do not include
Adaptogenic (rise non-specific resistance towards stresses and adapt to extraordinary challenges)
Caffeine can produce
- Coronary vasodialation
- Relaxation of bronchial and biliary tract smooth muscles
- Reinforcement of the contractions and increase of the striaated muscle work
Caffeine can not produce
Vasodialation of cerebral vessels
Caffeine does not cause
Inhibition of gastric secretion
Caffeine cause
- Hyperglycemia
- Moderate diuretic action
- Increase in free fatty acids
Therapeutic uses of caffeine include
- Cardiovascular collapse and respiratory insufficiency
- Migraine
- Somnolence
Therapeutic uses of caffeine do not include
Gastric ulceration
Adverse effects of caffeine include
- Arrhythmias
- Insomnia
- Psychomotor excitation
Adverse effects of caffeine do not include
Hypotension
Principal properties of cordiamine include
- Cardiac analeptic
- Respiratory analeptic
- Coronarodilatator
Principal properties of cordiamine do not include
Significant abuse potential
Сharacteristics of cordiamine include
- It stimulates the CNS and facilitates the movement coordination
- It is a respiratory analeptic of mixed action (stimulates both the medullar respiratory center and chemoreceptor of carotid sinus zone)
- It counteracts the central depression produced by other drugs (barbiturates)
Сharacteristics of cordiamine do not include
It decreases the aortic and coronary flow
Cordiamine is useful in the treatment of
- Hypotension
- Coronary insufficiency
- Respiratory insufficiency
Respiratory and cardiac analeptics are the agents
- Cordiamine
- Caffeine
- Camphor
Respiratory and cardiac analeptics are not the agents
Bemegride
Bemegride
Stimulates the medullar respiratory center (central effect)
Which CNS stimulants belongs to nootropics?
Piracetam
Characteristics of nootropics include
- Selective influence on the brain
- Improvement the ability to communicate with peers
- Increase in energetic exchange of the brain cells
Characteristics of nootropics do not include
Decline in the highest integrative brain functions
True or False about Nootropics. They improve the highest integrative brain functions (memory, learning, understanding, thinking and the capacity for concentration)
TRUE
True or False about Nootropics. They stimulate the bulbar respiratory center
FALSE
True or False about Nootropics. They stimulate existing neuronal synapses to optimum performance (adaptive capacity)
TRUE
True or False about Nootropics. They stimulate existing neuronal synapses to damaging influences, such as disturbances of the energy and neurotransmitter metabolism or ischemia (protective capacity)
TRUE
Features of piracetam include
- It is a GABA derivative
- It does not influence the neuro-vegetative function
- Improvement begins in the 3′rd week
Features of piracetam do not include
It has a high potential of toxicity
Piracetam can produce
- Anticonvulsant
- Psychometabolic
- Antihypoxic
Piracetam can not produce
Antipsychotic
Piracetam is widely used for the treatment of
- Senile dementia
- Asthenia
- Chronic alcoholism
Indicate the CNS stimulant, which is used in pediatric medicine, as it improves the communication with the child, increases the ability to study and communication with peers, improves school-performance?
Piracetam
Which CNS stimulants is used for the cerebral stroke treatment?
Piracetam
