Banana Bread 2 Flashcards
How do addicting drugs work?
Disrupting neurotransmission
What is a useful model to see drug use in humans?
Self administer drugs and animals
Toxic effects of local anesthetics
Cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, allergic reactions, hypotension
Effects of using Epinephrine with lidocaine
It can cause gangrene and ischemia when added near extremities and it causes local basil construction which reduces diffusion of anesthetic away from the site
How can high concentrations of local anesthetic affect the heart and brain?
The heart and brain both have electrically excitable cells sensitive to channel blocking. Local anesthetic asked by blocking reason sodium channels
Effects of information in infection on local anesthetics
It can lower the pH of the tissues which will decrease the ability of the anesthetic to diffuse into the nervous tissue
Which nerve fibers are the most sensitive to local anesthetics?
Nerve fibers with small diameters that fire rapidly
Which of the following drug classes can be used as the maintenance drug treatment programs for hair and addicts and alcoholics?
Long-acting opioid antagonist
Flumazenil
Blocks actions of benzo’s in non-benzo benzo receptor agonist, Used to treat benzo overdose, does not enhance GABA mediated chloride conductance through the GABA a receptor
Entanercept (embrel)
It is a tumor necrosis factor antagonists used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
Methotrexate
Used to treat rheumatoid arthritis at low dose
Allopurinol
Decreases uric acid production by inhibiting XOA
Triazolam
Short acting benzo use for patient with temporary sleep disorder without anxiety
Valium(diazepam)
Long-acting been so used to treat anxiety and sleep disorder, suppress seizures, reduce problems with cerebral palsy, and suppress alcohol withdrawal
Ethanol
Increases GABA mediated chloride conductance at the GABA a receptor
Decreases glutamate mediated cation conductance at in NMDA receptor
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor SSRI
Takes two weeks before antidepressant effect
Abilify
Treatment of bipolar and schizophrenia
It is a partial agonist of dopamine D2 receptors
Lithium carbonate
Treatment of bipolar by decreasing manic and depressive phases
Can be used in combination with haloperidol for treatment of acute mania
Combined with carbamazepine for prophylactic treatment of bipolar
Carbamazepine
Anticonvulsant and induces P450
Bromocriptine
Anti-Parkinson – directly ask on D2 dopamine receptors
Carbidopa
Inhibits aromatic L amino acid decarboxylase
Dexamethasone/Decadron
Used to diagnose Cushing’s, does not bind to CBG, has maximum anti-inflammatory and minimal so retaining activity
Buspirone
Relieves anxiety when taken for days or weeks
Hydrocortisone
Treatment of acute adrenocortical insufficiency
Propranolol/Inderal
Treatment of thyroid storm
