Antimuscarinics Flashcards
What is the mechanism of action of Atropine?
“Competitively and reversibly bind to muscarinic receptors to inhibit binding of Ach allowing sympathetic response to dominate
Antagonizes histamine and serotonin.”
What is the drug classification of Atropine?
“Anticholinergic (muscarinic receptor antagonist)
Tertiary amine = crosses BBB”
What are the indications of Atropine?
“Treatment of PEA and bradycardia - vagolytic
antisialagogue
Treat muscarinic effects of Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors
Biliary and ureteral spasm from opioids
Bronchodilation
Pupillary dilation”
What is the onset, DOA, E 1/2T, VD, and Metabolism of Atropine?
"Onset = 1 min DOA = 30-60mins E1/2t = 2-3 hrs Vd 1.5L/kg 40% PB" Hepatic and Urine 18% unchanged
What is the adverse effects of Atropine?
"Blurry vision Pupillary dilation ↑IOP Delirium Sedation/hallucinations/disorientation Dry mouth Increased HR and CO Urinary retention and constipation Anticholinertic syndrome = physostigmine (also crosses BBB)"
What are the contraindications of Atropine?
"hypersensitivity glaucoma CAD Pheo Thyrotoxicosis Hperpyrexia Mobitz II GI obstruction AchE therapy (myestheia gravis)"
What is the dosage of Atropine?
“0.4-1mg bradycardia
0.2-0.4 mg IV pre-op
2mg in 5ml NS via Nebulizer
(0.01mg/kg) 7-10mcg/kg reversal (edrophonium 0.5-1mg/kg IV)
1mg IV Q3-5ming to total 0.04mg/kg (3mg) for resuscitation”
What is the drug classification of Scopolamine?
“Anticholinergic (muscarinic receptor antagonist)
Tertiary amine that crosses BBB”
What is the mechanism of action of Scopolamine?
Competitively and reversibly bind to muscarinic receptors to inhibit binding of Ach (SA node) preventing the action on parasympathetic systems and allowing sympathetic response to dominate
What are the indications of scopolamine?
“Pre op sedation
Antisialagogue
Bronchodilation
Biliary and ureteral smooth muscle relaxation
Production of mydriasis
Prevention of NV/motion sickness
Treatment of bradycardia (less potent than atropine)”
What is onset, DOA, Half time, and metabolism of scopolamine?
“Onset = 10 mins
DOA = 2 hrs
E1/2t = 4.8 hrs (3-7 days for full recovery)’
Hepatic and Urine
What are the adverse effects of Scopolamine?
"v-fib Increased HR Orthostatic hypotension Sedation Delayed awakening Increased IOP Blurry vision Dry mouth constipation Fatigue and weakness!"
What are the contraindications of Scopolamine?
"Hypersensitivity Liver dissase Change in MS Glaucoma CAD Pheochromocytoma Thryoidtoxicosis Myesthenia gravis Caution with the elderly"
what is the dosage of scopolamine?
- 3-0.5 mg or 5 mcg/kg IM (pre-op)
1. 5mg transdermal (5mcg/hr *72 hrs nausea)
What is the drug classification of Glycopyrrolate?
“Anticholinergic (muscarinic receptor antagonist)
Quaternary Amine”
