DOC/ indications Flashcards
mag sulfate
delay labor- relax uterus
preeclampsia
eclampsia
clomiphene
(anti-estrogen)
DOC for infertility in women
(stimulates LH and FSH)
ergonovine maleate
methylergonovine maleate
(ergots)
prevent hemorrhage after delivery or suction abortion
(by causing contractions)
not first line (OT)
leuprolide
goserelin
(long acting GnRH agonists)
precocious puberty
prostate CA
endometriosis
(can also be used in ART to suppress LH and FSH
but GnRH antagonists preferred)
“gliptins”
(DPP-4 inhibitors)
medium A1C decrease
raloxifene
(anti-estrogen)
post menopausal osteoporosis
PTH effects
increases serum calcium
by getting osteoblasts to release RANK-L (osteoclastic)
increases renal reabsorption
increases GI absorption
acarbose
miglitol
T1DM and T2DM
moderate A1C decrease
colesevelam
small decrease in A1C
decreases LDL
HMG (FSH analog)
HCG (LH analog)
infertility
tamoxifen
(anti-estrogen)
DOC for estrogen dependent breast CA
pre and post menopause
indomethacin
(NSAID)
delay labor- relax uterus
by reducing prostaglandins
nitroglycerin
in emergency to delay labor- relax uterus
calcitonin effects
decreases serum calcium
stimulated by estrogen
“dronates”
(bisphosphonates)
DOC for osteoporosis
in men and postmenopausal women
pagets disease
metformin benefits
1st line- big decrease in A1C
reduces glucose to euglycemic state
good for heart- decreases MIs
does not increase weight
decreases mortality
pramlintide
(amylin like peptide)
used in T1DM and T2DM
small decrease in A1C
weight loss
testosterone
methyltestosterone
M- testicular deficiency
F- female hypopituitaryism (treated w/ both estrogens and androgens)
everyone- debilitated people (burns, preemies, post op pts)
vit D effects
increases blood calcium
by getting osteoblasts to release RANK-L (osteoclastic)
increases renal reabsorption
increases GI absorption
- works in conjunction w/ PTH*
- stimulates collagen synthesis in osteoblasts*
tolbutamide, chlorpropamide, tolazamide
glyburide, glimepride, glipizide
(sulfonylurea)
big A1C decrease
drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol
combo oral contraceptive that
reduces water retention
reduces PMDD sxs
nifedipine
(CCB)
delay labor- relax uterus
starting to be 1st line
calcium
alone will not prevent or tx osteoporosis
needed for other tx to work though

(GnRH antagonists)
ART (suppresses LH and FSH)
endometriosis
prostate CA
carboprost tromethamine
(prostaglandin)
abortion- 2nd trimester
