Cholinergic Drugs II Flashcards
muscarinic receptor antagonists
competitively block muscarinic receptors
belladonna alkaloids
competitive muscarinic antagonists
belladonna alkaloid examples
atropine and scopolamine
salivary glands (muscarinic antatgonist)
dry mouth; parasympathetic secretions are completely abolishes
sweat glands (muscarinic antagonist)
skin hot and dry (no sweating)
eyes (muscarinic antagonist)
dilation of pupil and relaxation of ciliary muscle
heart (muscarinic antagonist)
result in increasing tachycardia by blocking vagal effects on SA node
circulation (muscarinic antagonist)
vasoconstriction to raise blood pressure
respiratory tract (muscarinic antagonist)
inhibition of secretions (dry mucus), bronchodilation, relaxation
GI tract (muscarinic antagonist)
reduction of secretions, inhibition of motility
urinary tract (muscarinic antagonist)
urination retention
CNS (muscarinic antagonist)
decreased concentration/memory, drowsiness, excitation, hallucinations, coma
diagnose muscarinic antagonist poisoning
administer an AchE inhibitor so that more Ach will be produced and compete with atropine (or other antagonist) and there should be relief of symtpoms
quaternary ammonium compounds
antagonist that can relieve symptoms without effecting CNS but greater potency for nicotinic receptors
homatropine and tropicamide
muscarinic antagonist topical solutions for eye
