76
Q

Morphine indications

A

Pain ( acute, chronic , in palliative care )

MI

Acute pulmonary oedema

77
Q

Morphine mechanism of action

A

Morphine binds to the μ receptor. This decreases cAMP production causing an efflux of potassium. This hyperpolarises the cell membrane. There is then a decrease in substance P and GABA release and an increase in dopamine release causing a euphoric effect.

78
Q

Morphine adverse drug reactions

A

Respiratory Depression

Emesis
GI tract Cardiovascular

Miosis

Histamine release ( asthmatics )

79
Q

81
Q

Omeprazole indications

A

Helicobacter Pylori eradication

Benign gastric ulceration

GORD

Severe oesophagitis

82
Q

Omeprazole mechanism of action

A

Omeprazole irreversibly inhibits the hydrogen potassium ATPase in gastric parietal cells. This significantly reduces gastric acid secretion.

83
Q

Omeprazole adverse drug reaction

A

GI disturbance ( abdominal pain , constipation , diarrhoea )

Headache , dizziness

Drowsiness / confusion

84
Q

Omeprazole drug interactions

A

Clopidogrel ( as omeprazole is a CYP inhibitor )

Warfarin ( increases effects )

Phenytoin ( anti - epileptic )

85
Q

Cyclizine drug class

A

Histamine 1 receptor antagonist

86
Q

Cyclizine indications

A

Nausea

Vomiting

Vertigo

Motion Sickness

87
Q

Cyclizine mechanism of action

A

Cyclizine acts on the vestibular nuclei. It inhibits the histaminergic signals from the vestibular system to the chemoreceptor trigger zone in the medulla.

88
Q

Cyclizine adverse drug reactions

A

Sedation

Excitation

Anti-Muscarinic - dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention

Cardiac toxicity - long QT intervals

89
Q

Metoclopramide drug class

A

Dopamine 2 receptor antagonist

90
Q

Metoclopramide indications

A

Nausea

Vomiting

91
Q

Metoclopramide mechanism of action

A

Metoclopramide increases acetylcholine at Muscarinic receptors in the gut. This promotes gastric emptying as it increases the tone of the lower oesophageal sphincter and decreases tone of the pylorus. It also increases the tone and amplitude of the gastric contractions. This increases peristalsis.

92
Q

Metoclopramide adverse drug reactions

A

Galactorrhoea

Extra-pyramidal effects - dystopia and parkinsonism

93
Q

Formoterol drug class

A

Long acting selective beta - 2 - agonist

94
Q

Formoterol indications

A

Asthma

COPD

95
Q

Formoterol mechanism of action

A

Formoterol binds to beta 2 receptors causing dilation of bronchial smooth muscle and relaxation of airways

96
Q

Formoterol adverse drug reactions

A

tachycardia, palpitations, anxiety and tremor

Increased glycogenolysis

Increased renin synthesis

97
Q

Formoterol drug interactions

A

beta blockers may reduce the effects of a beta agonist

98
Q

Apixaban drug class

A

Direct factor Xa acting oral anticoagulants

99
Q

Apixaban indications

100
Q

Apixaban mechanism of action

A

Apixaban inhibits both free Xa and that bound with ATIII, do not directly effect thrombin (IIa) - hepatic metabolism and excreted partly by kidneys

101
Q

Apixaban adverse drug reaction

102
Q

Apixaban drug interactions

A

[plasma] increased by macrolides

103
Q

Co-amoxiclav drug class

A

Penicillin

104
Q

Co-amoxiclav indications

A

Infections where amoxicllin cant be given alone

105
Q

Co-amoxiclav mechanism of action

A

Amoxicillin alongside clavulanic acid is used as some bacteria have an enzyme beta lactamase which breaks down Beta-lactam’s molecular structure and clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Therefore this issue is removed.

106
Q

Co-amoxiclav adverse drug reactions

A

Diarrhoea

Nausea

Vomiting

107
Q

Dalteparin drug class

A

Low molecular weight heparin

108
Q
