prevention of severe respiratory depression and aspiration of voitus
glucose to Tx hypoglycemia and ketosis
thiamine
K if severe vomiting

35
Q

management of alcohol withdrawal

A

electrolyte rebalancing and thiamine therapy

long or short acting benzos

36
Q

long acting benzos

A 
chlordiazepoxide
cloraxepate
diazepam
less frequent dosing and built in tapering effect
bad for ppl w/bad livers
37
Q

short acting benzos

A

lorazepam
oxazepam
can be given to those w/bad livers

38
Q

naltrexone

A

MOA: u opioid R antagonist
use: Tx of alcohol and opioid addiction
CI: acute hepatitis, liver failure
must be opioid free before administration

39
Q

acamprosate

A

MOA: weak NMDAR antagonist and GABAR agonist
reduces short and long term relapse rates when combo w/psychotherapy
caution in renal disease
ADRs:GI and rash
can be combo w/naltrexone and disulfiram

40
Q

off label drugs for alcohol dependance

A

topiramate

odansetron

41
Q

methanol poisoning symptoms and Tx

A

common symptom blurred vision

  • respiratory support
  • suppression of metabolism by ADH (ethanol and fomepizole)
  • hemodialysis
  • alkalinization to counteract acidosis
42
Q

hemodialysis
ethanol infusion
fomepizole

43
Q

opioid R anatagonisits

47
Q

NMDA R antagonist

A

acamprosate

48
Q

cannabinoid R agonist

A

rimonabant

not approved in US

49
Q

3 classes of molecular targets for mesolimbic system

A

Gio coupled Rs
ionotropic Rs
monoamine transporters

50
Q

nonaddictive drugs of abuse

A 
LSD
mescaline
psilocybin
PCP
ketamine
51
Q

LSD, mescaline, psilocybin

A

repetitive exposure leads to rapid tolerance (tachyphylaxis)

animals will not self administer hallucinogens -> not addictive

52

LSD- flashbacks for years

53
Q

drugs that activate Gio

A

opioids
cannabinoids
CHB (liquid ecstasy or date rape drug)

54
Q

opiods

A

in VTA bind u opioid Rs -> decrease GABA -> disinhibit dopaminergic neurons

55
Q

withdrawal of opioids

A

intense dysphoria, nausea, vomiting, mm aches, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, mydiasis, piloerection, sweating, diarrhea, yawning, fever

56
Q

naloxone

A

MOA: pure opiod antagonist that reverses effects of a dose of opiates w/in min
provokes an acute withdrawal syndrome

57
Q

methadone, buprenorphine

A

long acting opioids used for substiution therapy
tolerance and physical dependence develop slower then others
given w/supervision
abrupt discontinuation -> withdrawal

58
Q

canabinoids

A

retrograde messengers

THC- disinhibiits DA neurons by inhibiting GABA

59
Q

dronabinol

A

FDA approved THC analog used for anorexia and weight loss in AIDs and CA

60
Q

nabilone

A

THC analog used for refractory nausea and vomiting associated w/CA chemo and adjunct in chronic pain

61
Q

GHB

A

activates GABAbR w/low affinity
euphoria, enhances sensory, social closeness, amnesia, sedation, coma
liquid ex, or date rape

62
Q

drugs that mediate via ionotropic Rs

A

nicotine
benzos and barbituates
alcohol
inhalants

63
Q

nicotine

A

MOA: selective agonist of the nAChR on DA neurons in VTA

activation fulfills the DA requirement of addictive drugs

64
Q

Tx for nicotine

A

nicotine
buproprion (antidepressent)
varenicline ( partial nAChR agonist)

65
Q

inhalants

A

most produce euphoria
unknown MOA
overdose is supportive care

66
Q

drugs that bind transporters of biogenic amines

A

bind some combo of DAT, NET, VMAT, SERT
cocaine
amphetamines
ectascy

67
Q

cocaine

A
  • in PNS cocaine inhibits VNaCh and can be used as local anesthetic
  • blocks DAT and increases DA concentrations in nucleus accumbens
  • blocks NET and activated SNS
68
Q

symptoms of cocaine

A 
loss of appetite, hyperactivity, lack of sleep
overdose- hyperthermia, coma, death
withdrawal not as severe as other opiods
reverse tolerance can occur
Tx supportive care
69
Q

amphetamines MOA

A
  • taken up by DAT
  • block VMAT and deplete synaptic vesicles of NT
  • increasing cytoplasmic levels of NT cause release of NT reversing action of biogenic amine transporters
70
Q

withdrawal of amphetamines

A

dysphoria, drowsiness, general irritability

71
Q

ecstasy MOA

A

similar to amphetamines

preferential affinity for SERT and strongly increases the extracellular concentration of serotonin

72
Q

toxic effects of ecstasy

A

hyperthermia
dehydration
