Q

Beta blockers MOA

A

block B1 receptors
- no adenylyl cyclase to convert ATP into cAMP -> cAMP cannot activate PKA, hence Ca2+ channels
- block calcium induced calcium release (calcium released from sacrolemma induced by calcium entering via channels)
-> decrease contractility

Q

Can we give non selective beta blockers to someone with asthma?

A

NO
drug will block b1 and 2 adrenoreceptors => prevent stimulation of heart but also prevent bronchodilation

Q

thiazides AE

A
  1. hypokalaemic: metabolic alkalosis (increased K+ and H+ excretion at intercalated cells of CD)

  3. hyperuricaemia (increased urate reabsorption at PCT) => GOUT
  4. hyperglycaemia
  5. hyperlipidaemia
  6. hypercalcaemia (enhanced reabsorption of ca2+ at PCT)
