Chapter 33/34 Flashcards
Virus transmission
couging/sneezing
Influenza vaccine
-promotes the production of antibodies by the immune system
Antiviral drugs
used to prevent or delay the spread of a viral infection
-inhibit viral rep by interfering with viral nucleic acid synthesis in the cell
neuramidase inhibitors
release the virus from infected cells which decreases viral spread and shortens flu
IgG (gamma globulin)
rich in antibodies found in the blood
- provides passive immunity by blocking penetration into host cell
- IM
purine nucleosides
interferes with viral DNA synthesis
-treat herpes
Antimalarials
- -protozoan disease
- tissue phase: no clinical symptoms
- erythrocytic phase: invasion of blood cells
Urinary antiinfectives
+/-
- nitrofurantoin
- inhibits bacterial enzymes and metabolism
Sulfonamides
+/-
-slow bactericidal
UTI drugs
- antiinfectives
- sulfonamides
- quinolones
- penicillins
- 3rd gen cephalosporins
Methenamine
- chronic UTIs
- Bactericidal when urine is acidic
Urinary analgesics
- phenazopyridine
- relieves pain and burning
- reduces frequency and urgency
Urinary stimulants
- bethanechol
- increases bladder tone
Urinary antispasmodics
- direct action on smooth muscles
- reduce UT spasms
Urinary antimuscarinics
-control overactive bladder
