blocks the stimulation of NMDA receptors believed to be associated w/ AD
36
memantine side effects
**uncommon** -confusion, hypotension, headache, dizziness, constipation (take fiber) -indicated for moderate to severe AD -can give with or without food (me take fiber)
37
centrally acting analgesic

39
tramadol indications
treat moderate or severe pain (periods are never mild)
40
tramadol side effects
**usually none** -drowsy, dizzy, headache, nausea, constipation, respiratory depression -rare: seizures when combined w/ other CNS depressors
41
anti - convulsants
gabapentin & pregablin
42
gabapentin & pregablin MOA
thought to spontaneously suppress neuronal firing [anti convulsant] (put the neurons in a pen)
43
gabapentin & pregablin indication
to complement opioid effects and used **specifically neuropathic pain**
44
gabapentin & pregablin side effects
-drowsy -dizzy -**vision problems** (the eyes follow the pen light)
45
gabapentin & pregablin nursing considerations
can only be partially reversed with naloxone (the pent up tin man is only partially human)
46
what NSAID has no anti inflammatory property
acetaminophen
47
non selective COX inhibitor NSAIDs
aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, ketorolac (all words we know: the 1st two and then nap & keto)
48
selective COX inhibitor NSAID
celecoxib
49
NSAID MOA
anti prostaglandins by blocking key enzyme COX which is crucial for the production of prostaglandins
50
what pills cannot be crushed
enteric coated
51
non selective cox inhibitors side effects
**GI upset & inhibits platelet aggregation** -stomach ulcers & bleeding -rash -edema -kidney failure -increases BP -SOA in asthma pts

56
ketorolac specific considerations
-most potent NSAID -for short term -mainly post opt -similar to morphine w/o res depression -**GI ulcers & high risk of renal dysfunction [esp if low renal function or dehydrated]**

advantages to IV acetaminophen
manage pain w/ less opioid abuse
65
when is merperidine given
only for acute migraines or when a pt is shivering post opt
66
MOA for all anti epileptic drugs

topiramate nursing consideration
can interact w/ contraceptive meds & cause cleft lip if taking during pregnancy
82
what seizure med can be taken while pregnant
none -> should be on a contraceptive
83

indicated for adjunct therapy for partial seizures w/ or w/o generalization

if needed (usually stop on their own) IV push benzodiazepines
