CNS IV Flashcards
cyclobenzaprine
mm relaxer
TCA like effects because increases 5HT and NE and closes pain gait
Midrin
mm relaxer, has acetaminophen
antihistamine and babiturate like effects
Fiorinal
mm relaxer, has aspirin and caffeine
barbiturate like effects
Ergotamine
ergot, direct vasoconstrictor and 5HT agonist
- explains Vascular hypothesis of Wolff
- side effects: ergotism (nausea, gangrene)
sumatriptan
calcium gene related peptide reducer because activate 5HT1D and 5HT1B
- explains sterile inflammation hypothesis of migraine
- can cause coronary vasospasm and chest tightness, arrythmias, swollen neck, pain at the injection site and nausea/vomiting
propranolol
beta blocker, migraine prophylactic, reduces spreading depression because blocks NE
Amitriptyline
TCA, migraine prophylactic,
prevents excitation in locus cereleus that releases NE that blocks spreading depression
verapamil
Ca channel antagonist
-cluster headache
metoclopramide
DA and 5HT anatagonist
prevents nausea and promoted peristalsis
-widely used, cleaner drug
ondansetron
5Ht antagonist in the CTZ
facilitates peristalsis and reduces nausea
very expensive
prochlorperazine
reduces nausea and vomiting
broader spectrum of action and more SE
halothane
ptototypical abasthetic
not used much due to toxicity
halothane hep (because most metabolized
catecholamine sensitazation and arrhythmias
isoflurane
gas anasthetic
sevoflurane
gas anasthetic
most commonly used
nitrious oxide
gas anasthetic
MAC not achieved at normal barometri pressure
good analgesic
airway irritant
etomidate
iv anasthetic, barb
great inducing agent with few CV effects, used often with people with CV problems
propofol
iv anasthetic, barb, most widely used with short recovery period
CV and respiratory depresant
antiemetic
ketamine
iv anasthetic
indirect glu antagonist, dissociative anesthesia
psychotomimemtic effects, icreases SANS and great for hypovolemia
potent analgesic
fentanyl
iv opioid
potent analgesic
esters
local anasthetic
converted to PABA-hypersensitivity can occur
short acting because metabolised by non-specific esterases locally
procaine
local anasthetic
tetracaine
local anasthetic
amides
local anasthetic
longer acting. metabolized in liver comp to ester
