autonomic drugs Flashcards
bethanechol use
postoperative ileus, neurogenic ileus, urinary retention
bethanechol action
activates bladder and bowel smooth muscle
carbachol use
glaucoma, pupillary contraction, relief of intraocular pressure
pilocarpine
stimulates sweat, tears and saliva
pilocarpine action
contracts ciliary muscle and pupillary shpincter - resistant to AChE
methacholine use
challenge for dx of asthma
neostigmine use
postp[ and neurogenic ileus/urinary retention
MG
reversal of NMJ blockade in surgery
Neostigmine action
increases endogenous ACh (does not penetrate CNS)
pyridostigmine use
MG (does not penetrate CNS)
edrophonium use
dx of MG
edrophonium action
increases endogenous ACh
use of physiostigmine
anticholergenergic tox (crosses BBB) atropine OD
physiostigmine action
increases endogenous ACh
donepezil
alzheimer’s dx
donepezil action
increase endogenous ACh (crosses into CNS)
tox of cholinomimetic agents
worsens COPD, asthma, and PUD
antidote for cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning
atropine + pralidoxime
atropine, homatropine.tropacamide use
produceses mydrasis and cycloplegia (muscarinic antagonist)
benztropine use
parkinson’s (muscarinic antagonist)
scopolamine use
motion sickness (muscarinic antagonist)
ipratropium use
COPD, asthma (muscarinic antagonist)
oxybutin use
reduce bladder urgancy in mild cystitis and reduce bladder spasms (muscarinic antagonist)
glycoyrrolate use
preop to reduce airway secretions (muscarinic antagonist)
drooling, peptic ulcer
atropine actions
increases pupil dilation and cycloplegia,
lowers airway secretions,lowers stomach acid secretion, and gut motility, reduces cystitis urgency
