24
Q

Tiotropium

A

Anti-Cholinergic

25
Q

How is acetylcholine synthesized, excreted and Degraded

A
  1. acetyl CoA is added to choline by choline acetyltransferase
  2. excreted into synaptic cleft by vesicular exocytosis
  3. Acetylcholinesterase breaks down the ACh into acetyl coA and choline, which is recycles into the presynaptic neuron via choline/ Na trasporter
26
Q

how do organophosphates relate to cholinergics and what is the antidote

A

they cause excessive activation of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors

(all faucets turned on)

Give atropine to block excessive ACh

Give Pralidoxime to regenerate cholinesterase and decrease ACh levels in nicotinic receptor stimulation

27
Q

Describe anticholinergic syndrome

A

Dry mouth, warm, flushed skin, thirst, tachycardia, arrhythmias, mydriasis (dilated pupils), confusion, and agitation
