(261 cards)
Thiazide diuretics e.g.s?
- Bendroflumethiazide
- Chlortalidone
- Indapamide
- Metolazone
use of thiazide diuretics?
Hypertension, chronic heart failure, oedema
how do thiazide diuretics work?
inhibiting reabsorption of sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) ions from the distal convoluted tubules in the kidneys by blocking the thiazide-sensitive Na+-Cl− symporter
thiazide like diuretics?
chlorthalidone and metolazone
contraindications of thiazide diuretics?
- Addison’s disease
- hypercalcaemia
- hyponatraemia
- symptomatic hyperuricaemia
side effects of thiazide diuretics?
- dizziness
- electrolyte imbalance
- erectile dysfunction
- hyperglycaemia
- hyperuricaemia
- postural hypotension
diuretics can cause?
gout - hyperuricaemia
drugs used for bacterial endocarditis?
- Benzylpenicillin
- Amoxicillin
- Gentamicin
- Vancomycin
- Flucloxacillin
penicillins mechanism of action?
- binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall
- preventing cross linkage
- causes cell lysis by autolysins
gentamicin mechanism of action?
- aminoglycoside
- inhibits 30S ribosome
vancomycin mechanism?
- glycopeptide
- binds to D-Ala-D-Ala peptide motif of the peptidoglycan precursor
- prevents transglycosylation of the cell wall
side effects of the penicillins?
- hypersensitivity
- nausea
- skin reactions
- thrombocytopenia
- vomiting
cautions for penicillins?
history of allergy
CI of aminoglycosides?
MG - aminoglycosides impair NM transmission
side effects of aminoglycosides
- ototoxicity
- nephrotoxicity
- haemoptysis
- tinnitus
vancomycin CI?
- prev hearing loss w IV use
- abs can be enhanced with inflammatory disorders of intestinal mucosa
side effects of vancomycin?
- nephrotoxicity
- vancomysin infusion reaction
- agranulocytosis
- tinnitus
warfarin mechanism?
- Vit K antanogist
- II, VII, IX, and X have decreased clotting ability
warfarin indications?
- Prevention of venous thromboembolism,
- treatment of DVT and PE,
- myocardial infarction, unstable coronary disease,
- anticoagulation in valvular and nonvalvular AF
warfarin contra-indications?
- haemorrhagic stroke
- sig bleeding
- within 48 hrs post-partum
side effects of warfarin?
- haemorrhage
- Blue Toe syndrome
- skin necrosis
DOACs?
- Apixaban
- Rivaroxaban
- Dabigatran
dabigatran mechanism?
- reversible direct thrombin inhibitor (DTI) that competitively inhibits thrombin - factor IIa
DOAC indications?
- Prevention of venous thromboembolism, treatment of DVT and PE,
- anticoagulation in non-valvular AF
