Cholinergics:Muscarinic Receptor Antagonist Flashcards
competitively block muscarinic receptors (parasympatholytics, antimuscarinics)
Muscarinic receptor antagonist
Are muscarinic receptor antagonists selective for receptor subtypes?
no
Effect of muscarinic receptor antagonist:
_____ iris sphincter and ciliary muscles – mydriasis and paralysis of accommodation (cycloplegia)
relax
Effect of muscarinic receptor antagonist:
_______ non-vascular smooth muscle (airways, GI tract, urinary bladder)
relax
Effect of muscarinic receptor antagonist:
_______ heart rate
increase
Effect of muscarinic receptor antagonist:
______ exocrine gland secretion (sweat, salivary, lacrimal, intestinal, mucosal glands)
inhibit
Effect of muscarinic receptor antagonist:
CNS effects
- low (therapeutic) doses produce _______
- higher, toxic doses produce _________
sedation
excitement, delirium, agitation, toxic psychosis
muscarinic receptor antagonist:
effectively treat bradyarrhythmias due to high vagal tone~~~ specifically MI or hyperactive carotid reflex
Atropine
muscarinic receptor antagonist:
to produce mydriasis (dilation) and cylcoplegia (paralysis of accommodation)
Atropine
Duration of action of Atropine
- long duration of action (7-10 days) -
What drug would I use to allow for thorough examination of the retina and optic disc
and to allow certain surgical procedures - treat acute iritis or choroiditis
Atropine
muscarinic receptor antagonist:
uses in anesthesia: - commonly given to block responses to vagal reflexes induced by
surgical manipulation of visceral organs
Atropine
- use to treat anticholinesterase or muscarinic toxicity
Atropine
tx motion sickness
Scopolamine
Which penetrates CNS better: scopolamine or atropine
scopolamine
