Drugs - Mechanisms II Flashcards
methylcellulose
bulk forming laxative
Desvenlafaxine
SNRI
Tiagabine
GABA reuptake inhibitor
magnesium compounds
osmotic laxatives
Gabapentin
inhibits high voltage activate Ca channels
Ketoconazole
inhibits 17-alpha hydroxylase –> decreased steroids
Imipramine
TCA –> SNRI
-azine
1st gen antipsychotics
chlorpheniramine
1st gen H1 blocker
Entacapone and tolcapone
inhibits COMT –> reduced peripheral L-DOPA degradation
Anastrozole
Aromatase inhibitor
sucralfate
binds to peptic ulcer base –> protects –> bicarb secretion reestablishes pH
Sevelamer
non-absorbable phosphate binder
Riluzolone
decreased glutamate excitotocity in ALS
doxylamine
1st gen H1 blocker
Bromocriptine
Ergot dopamine agonist
Levetiracetam
SV2A receptor blocker
Procarbazine
mechanism unknown, weak MAO inhibitor
Selegiline
Selective MAO-B inhibitor
Liraglutide
(GLP-1 analog) decrease glucagon release, decrease gastric emptying, and increase glucose dependent insulin release
Methimazole
thionamide, blocks thyroid peroxidase (teratogenic)
-raf-enib
BRAF
Conivaptan
ADH antaogonist
Afitinib
EGFR inhibitor
