What is the action of ipratropium?

A

Blocks muscarinic ACh receptors, promoting cGMP degradation - reduces bronchoconstriction

84
Q

What is the action of loperamide?

A

Acts on mu-opioid receptors in PNS -> slows intestinal motility
Doesn’t cross the BBB so can’t affect CNS

85
Q

What is the action of metformin?

A

Decreases hepatic glucose production and intestinal glucose absorption
Improves insulin sensitivity

86
Q

What is the action of methotrexate?

A

Cancer - inhibition of DHFR, inhibiting folate synthesis.

Arthritis - inhibition of purine metabolism = accumulation of adenosine = suppression of T cells

87
Q

What is the action of oxybutin?

A

Antagonist of M1, 2 & 3 muscarinic ACh receptors

Decreases muscle spasms of the bladder

88
Q

What is the action of paracetamol?

A

COX enzyme inhibition in CNS indirectly

89
Q

What is the action of ramipril?

A

Inhibit ACE activity
Less Angiotensin II produced
Less Bradykinin breakdown
Relaxation of arterial smooth muscle

90
Q

What is the action of rifampicin?

A

Inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase enzyme - no RNA synthesis

91
Q

What is the action of rivaroxiban?

A

Competitive irreversible inhibition of factor Xa.

Prevents thrombin formation

92
Q

What is the action of salmeterol?

A

Beta 2 stimulation causes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle

93
Q

What is the action of sildenafil?

A

Increases cGMP to cause smooth muscle relaxation - vasodilation

94
Q

What is the action of suxamethonium?

A

Mimics ACh at NM junction, with slow hydrolysis - prolongs depolarisation = NM blockade

95
Q

What is the action of tamsulosin?

A

Selective A1 antagonist

Causes relaxation in smooth muscle = less resistance to urinary flow=less pain in BPH

96
Q

What is the action of tramadol?

A

Agonist of mu-opioid receptors
Serotonin & norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor
Enhances serotonin release
