DRUGs miscellaneous Flashcards by Stephanie Izquierdo

what drug is a pyrophosphate analog and what does it treat?

foscarnet and it treats CMV and HIV because it inhibits both DNA polymerase in herpes and Reverse transcriptase in HIV. It does not need intracellular activation. This drug is also good to give if the patient already suffers from thrombocytopenia

What drug is an antagonist of neprilysin and increases ANP and BNP?

sacubitril..

this is beneficial for HF because it promotes natuiresis ( release of sodium and water), and increases vasodilation

Pt has meningitis with tumbling motility high lymphocytes and gram + rod what is the best treatment?

ampicillin/ listeria meningitis

Treatment for cryptococcus neoformans meningitis?

amphothecerin B and fluconazole

inhibits integration of viral DNA into host genome via integrase

raltegravir

what opioid can precipitate withdrawal in long-term opioid users?

buprenorphine ( opioid partial agonist) | acts as antagonist when other opioids are present

what opioid can precipitate withdrawal in long-term opioid users?

buprenorphine ( opioid partial agonist) | acts as antagonist when other opioids are present

what drug treats post-menopausal osteoporosis?

raloxifene

Warfarin is used to treat atrial fibrillation, DVT, and pulmonary thromboembolism. AKA it is a long term anti-coagulant it inhibits the carboxylation of vitamin K dependent coagulation factors 10,9,7,2 protein C and S. what should be monitored when taking this treatment?

PT and INR

what is monitored when treating with UFH

APTT

______ should be used as emergency use against warfarin bleeding complication

Fresh frozen plasma if not emergency Vit K

______ should be used as emergency use against warfarin bleeding complication

Fresh frozen plasma if not emergency Vit K

What drug inhibits topoisomerase II/ DNA gyrase responsible for the negative supercoils done in DNA unwinding?

fluoroquinolone, ciprofloxacin " floxacins"

which NSAID is less likely to cause GI toxicity?

celecoxib because it only inhibits COX2, and COX1 and 2 are inhibited by ibuprofen, indomethacin, and naproxen. COX1 has GI mucousal protectivity ``` COX 1 (constitutive)- GI mucous protection, increase renal percussion, platelet aggregation. COX2 ( inducible)- vasodilaiton ```

______ should be used as emergency use against warfarin bleeding complication

Fresh frozen plasma if not emergency Vit K

what is the AE of loop diuretics?

hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, ototoxicity, and cause metabolic alkalosis

which NSAID is less likely to cause GI toxicity?

celecoxib because it only inhibits COX2, and COX1 and 2 are inhibited by ibuprofen, indomethacin, and naproxen. COX1 has GI mucousal protectivity

What do you prescribe for a 3 Hz spike wave, absence seizure?

ethosuxomide

what is the AE of loop diuretics?

hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, ototoxicity, and cause metabolic alkalosis

what is a function of mannitol ? and AE?

decreases cerebral edema, and can cause pulmonary edema and HF. it decreases sodium and water reabsorption by PCT

Drug used to treat bradycardia with acute chest pain diaphoresis and nausea?

atropine ( anticholinergic) AE- mydriasis, narrowing of anterior chamber, diminished aqueous humor, can cause angle closure glaucoma ( unilateral eye pain plus halos)

What drug instead of methimazole must you give pregnant woman their first trimester if they have hyperthyroidism?

PTU ( they both inhibit TPO but PTU also inhibits peripheral conversation of T4-T3)

drug used for lice

colestipol, cholestyramine, colesvelam

inhibits absorption of cholesterol through the small bowel wall at brush border

ezetimibe
