ch 14 Flashcards
muscarinic antagonists are aka
anticholinergic drugs
parasympatholytic drugs
antimuscarinic drugs
anticholinergic means that it produces
selective muscarinic blockade
anticholinergic drugs
children
have a role in the management of resp conditions in childhood
anticholinergic drugs
pregnant women
Oxybutynin is relatively safe
others- no
anticholinergic drugs
breastfeeding
can inhibit lactation
full risk is unknown
anticholinergic drugs
older adults
not appropriate
muscarinic receptor locations
sweat glands
blood vessels
all organs regulated by the parasympathetic ns
effects of muscarinic receptor activation
decreased HR
Increased gland secretion
smooth muscle contraction
Muscarinic receptor antagonist
atropine
NicotinicN receptor location
all ganglia of the autonomic ns
NicotinicN effects of receptor activation
promotes ganglionic transmission
NicotinicN receptor antagonist
Mecamylamine
NicotinicM receptor location
neuromuscular junctions
NicotinicM effects of receptor activation
skeletal muscle contraction
NicotinicM receptor antagonist
Alpha Tubocurarine
Succinylcholine
Atropine Pharm effects on the
Heart
Increases HR
Atropine Pharm effects on the
Exocrine glands
decreases secretion from salivary glands
bronchial glands, sweat glands
and the acid-secreting cells of the stomach
Atropine Pharm effects on the
smooth muscle
relaxation of the bronchi
decreased tone of the urinary bladder detrusor (urinary retention)
decreased tone and motility of GI tract (constipation)
Atropine Pharm effects on the
eyes
mydriasis (dilation of the pupil)
cycloplegia (relaxation of the ciliary muscle) - focuses for far vision
Atropine Pharm effects on the
CNS
mild CNS excitation at therapeutic doses
At toxic doses - hallucinations and delirium which can resemble pyschosis
Extremely high doses- coma, resp arrest, death
How can atropine be given
topically to eyes
IM
IV
subq
Peak for atropine
30 min to one hour
Atropine half life
3 hours and as long as 10-17 hours
Atropine elimination
hepatic metabolism
urinary excretion
uses for atropine
antidote to anticholinesterase poisoning
sinus brady
AV block
adverse effects of atropine
xerostomia (dry mouth) Blurred vision photophobia elevation of IOP Urinary retention constipation anhidrosis (absence of sweat) Tachycardia
in patients with asthma, antimuscarinic drugs can cause thicker secretions leading to bronchial plugging
scopolamine
muscarinic antagonist
therapeutic doses of atropine produce mild cns excitation, this drug produces sedation
It will also suppress emesis and motion sickness where atropine will not, production of cycloplegia and mydriasis for ophthalmic procedures, production of preanesthetic sedation and obstetric amnesia
ipratropium Bromide (atrovent)
anticholinergic drug used to treat asthma, COPD, rhinitis caused by allergies or common cold.
Inhalation for asthma and COPD
nasal spray for rhinitis from allergies or common cold
Not associated with antimuscarinic side effects (minimal systemic effects)
Dicyclomine (Bentyl, Bentylol)
anticholinergic drug used for Irritable bowel syndrome, also for functional bowel disorders such as diarrhea and hypermotility
Overactive bladder is AKA
urgency incontinence
Overactive bladder has 4 major symptoms
1) urinary urgency
2) urinary frequency - 8 or more times in 24 hrs
3) nocturia - waking 2 or more times to void
4) urge incontinence
what causes urge incontinence
involuntary contractions of the bladder detrusor
what type of drugs are used for overactive bladder
anticholinergic agents
M1 location
salivary glands
CNS
M1 response to activation
salivation
enhanced cognition
M1 response to blockade
dry mouth
confusion, hallucinations
M2 location
heart
M2 response to activation
bradycardia
