Q

Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) OTC

A

Class: first generation antihistamine

MOA: Blockade H1, muscarinic, alpha adrenergic, and 5HT receptors.

PK: well absorbed orally. Widely distributed including CNS.

Can be used as opthalmic solutions.

Side effects:

  • Sedation (can potentiate other CNS depressants)
  • Drying of secretions
  • GI disturbances (N/V, diarrhea, constipation –> give w/ meals)

Acute poisoning treatment is symptomatic and supportive (dilated pupils, flushed face, fever, dry mouth, excitation, hallucinations, in-coordination, coma, CV collapse.)

Diphenydramine is specific for low incidence of GI side effects and causing sedation.

22
Q

Corticosteroids General

A

MOA: Corticosteroid–> blocks phospholipase A-2 inhibiting the creation of leukotrienes, prostaglandins, prostacyclins, thromboxanes, etc. Used mainly for for anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive purposes.

Bind glucocorticoid receptors which are located intracellularly changing DNA transcription of glucocorticoid response elements (GREs).

Also interact with NF-kB and AP-1.

Time lag in steroid action.

Cell movement: More neutrophils (demarginalization and increased produciton). Lymphopenia, decreased monocytes and eosinophils.

Effects on inflammatory mediators:
-reduced COX 2 espression, decreased arachadonic release from phospholipids, inhibits degranulaiton, inhibits synthesis and release of TNF, IL-1, IL-2, and IFN.

Side effects: immunosuppression (microbial and fungal infxs.), ulcers, behavioral disurbances, cataracts, osteoporosis, inhibition of growth.

From withdrawal w/o taper: acute adrenal insufficiency –> fever, myalgia, arthralgia, malaise, death from hypotension and shock

Therapeutic principles:

  • trial and error for proper dose
  • singe dose = no harmful effects
  • prolonged therapy increases incidence of lethal effects
  • risk of adrenal insufficiency with abrupt cessation of prolonged, high-dose therapy.
  • dosage varies greatly with condition.

PK; administered orally, parenterally, and topically. Some systemic absorbtion occurs with all forms. Metabolized in liver and excreted by kidney.

Use: Used in combination therapy for organ transplant rejection.

32
Q

Mycophenolate Mofetil
