cpt stuff Flashcards
first line antihypertensive if have type 2 diabetes
ACEi
why do loop and thiazides cause hypokalaemia
block Na+ reabsorption and therefore more Na+ in tubule. more reabsorbed by ENaC, more K+ excreted by ROMK
which antihypertensve pregnancy
labetelol
which antihypertensive causes damage while breastfeeding
nifedipine
aminoglycosides and loop
ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity
digoxin and thiazide/loop
hypokalaemia
b blockers and thazide
hyperglycaemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricaemia
steroid and thiazide and loop
hypokalaemia
carbemazapine and thiazide
hyponatraemia
ADR thiazide
gout, hyperglycaemia, ED, increased LDL, hypercalcaemia
ADR frusemide
ototoxocity, alkalosis, increaed LDL, gout
SE alpha blocker
postural hypotension, dizziness, fatigue
drug interactions alpha blocker
people affected by dihydropiridine CCB, makes oedema worse
contraindications beta blockers
hepatic failure, haemodynamic instability, asthma
SE phenylalkamines
heart block, cardiac failure, bradycardia, constipation
thiazide SE
hypokalaemia, hyponatraemia, gout, arrhythmia, increased glucose
warnings thiazdie
hypokalaemia, hyponatriaema, gout
DI statins
CYP 3A4 important – amiodarone, diltiazem, macrolides - increases [plasma] statin Remember amlodipine (CCB) also increases [plasma] statin
nocte
at night
why take statins nocte
most cholesterol made at night
aim of statin treatment
> 40% reduction in non HDL-C at three months
when is ezetimibe combined with statin
in CKD and secondary CVS prevention, those who can only tolerate low dose statin
when is fibrates and statin used
famiilial hypercholesterolaemia
aim of secondary prevention LDL levels
1.8mmol/L LDL-C (<2.5mmol/L non HDL-C)
which foods naturally lower cholesteron
fish oils, fibre, vitamin c/e
what absolute cholesterol level triggers treatment
5mmol/L
what affects COCP effectiveness
oral contraceptive efficacy is reduced by enzyme inducing drugs
– carbamazepine or phenytoin;
– rifampicin and rifabutin and
– St John’s Wort
• increase the production of hepatic CYP450
effect of oestrogen on PR
increases
effect of progesterone on ER
decreases
contraindicatons and warnings metformin
X excreted unchanged by kidneys – stop if eGFR < 30 mL/min, alcohol intoxication
• Δ ACEi, diuretics, NSAIDs – drugs that may impair renal function
loop and thiazide like diuretics ↑glucose so can reduce metformin action
which diabetic drugs cause weight gain and how
glitazones - fat cell differentiation
sulfonurea- increased anabolic effects of insulin
which diabetic drug pancreatitis
dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors- sitagliptin, saxagliptin
why dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhbitors lower hypoglycaemia risk
does not stimulate insulin production at normal glucose levels as is glucose dependent
which diabetic drugs cause weight loss and how
metformin- suppress appetite
GLP-1 agonist- reduced appetite
SGLT2
mechanism glitazones
insulin sensitisation, upregulation of ppary
SE, W, DI DPP4 inhibitors
se- pancreatitis
w- pregnancy, Hx pancreatitis
DDI- thiazide/loop as increase glucose, other hypoglycaemics
SE, W, DI sulfonurea
se- hyopoglycaemia and gi upset
w- hepatic impairment
di- other hypoglycaemics, thiazide and loop diuretics
se, w, di GLP-1 agonists
se- weight loss, hypoglycaemia
w- renal impair,emt
di- other hypoglycaemics
how are GLP-1 administered
subcutaneously- as hormone
why is renal SE/DI so important for metformin?
it is only renally excreted unchanged
half life equation
t1/2= (0.693 x Vd ) / CL
loading dose equation
loading dose =( Css x Vd ) bioavalibility (usually 1)
Css= desired concentration in plasma
maintenence dose
(clearance x [plasma] wanted /bioavalibility) x dose interval
theraputic index
toxic dose/ theraputic index
volume of distribution =
Vd = dose / plasma concentration drug in L/Kg(!!!)
which drug ventricular ectopic beat
bisoprolol
cardiac and ecg effects class IV
reduce phase 4, reduce AV, increase APD
increase PR
ECG class III sotalol
increase QT
use class Ic
WPW, atrial fluttter/fibrillations, premature ventricular contractions
use class Ib
ventricular tachycardia
cardiac effects Ib
increase qrs
warnings and contraindications ADP receptor antaognist
high bleed risk, hepatic and renal impairment
transplantation drugs
calcineurin inhibitor, mycophenolate mofetil
