Asthma/PE PBL Drugs Flashcards

1
Q

Aminophylline

MOA

PK

Tox

A

MOA: adenosine antagonist, phosphodiesterase inhibitor at high concentrations

increases cAMP → AMP

⇒ bronchodilation

PK: very low TI, soluble salt of theophylline

Tox: arrhythmias, nervousness, GI bleed, tremors, insomnia, adrenergic stimulation due to phosphodiesterase inhibition

Q

Warfarin

MOA

A

MOA: inhibits VKORC that converts vit K to carboxylate factors, decreases synthesis of vit K-dependent clotting Factors II, VII, IX, X, and protein C

⇒ protein C is anti-clotting, so need to have heparin bridge before starting warfarin

otherwise you increase risk of clotting

PK

A

MOA: cofactor for ATIII

⇒ inactivates Xa ONLY

⇒ inhibits prothrombin → thrombin

PK: no serial monitoring

**chemically related but distinct of LMW heparins

Q

Betamethasone

Dexamethasone

Methylprednisolone

Prednisone

MOA

A

MOA: induce lipocortin to inhibit PLA2

→ reduces AA

inhibit NF-kB

→ reduces TNF-α, IL-1, IL-2, IFN-γ

⇒ inhibits degranulation of mast cells and basophils + blocks neutrophil migration
