Half life : 20 hours
Benzotropine pharmacology
Synthesized from components of atropin and diphenhydramine drug molecules . Possesses anti-histamine, anti cholinergic properties while inhibiting dopamine re-uptake. These drugs enable restoration of the balance between ach and dopamine in the CNS, thereby alleviating acute dystonia .
Benztropine metabolism
Hepatic
Benztropine indications
Acute dystonic reaction
Haloperidol Pharmacology
Strong activity against delusions and hallucinations, most likely due to an effective dopaminergic receptor blockage in the mesocortex and the limbic system of the brain .
Benztropine precautions
Sedative effects of other drugs maybe enhanced
Children <12 years
Benztropine side effects
Dilated pupils Dry mouth Tachycardia Urinary retention Nausea & vomiting Toxic psychosis confusion and visual hallucinations

Promethazine pharmacology
A phenothiazine derivative with potent antihistamine & sedative/hypnotic effect. It also possess antiemetic, anti motion sickness, anti vertigo, anti cholinergic properties and local LA action. It competitively an reversibly antagonizes the effects of histamine at the H1 receptor site on effector cells .
Promethazine metabolism

Ondansetron metabolism
Majority metabolized by liver excreted kidneys
Ondansetron pharmacology
A serotonin 5HT3 receptor antagonist used primarily as an antiemetic . It works both periphery and centrally. reduces the activity of the vagus nerve, which activates the vomiting centre in the mendulla oblongata, and also blocks serotonin in the CTZ .
Ondansetron contraindications
kSAR to ondamsetron or 5HT3 receptors
Patients < 3 yo
Ondansetron indications
Nausea & vomiting
Prophylactic use in patients who has previously experienced nausea and or vomiting with narcotics
Ondansetron side effects

1/2 life : 3-4 hours
Ondansetron dose
Adult
IMI and IVI
4 mg : 2ml max dose
Midazolam pharmacology
Midaz plan hydrochloride is a short acting CNS depressant which induces amnesia, sedation, hypnosis and anesthesia. It achieves by enhancing the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA gamma-amino butyric acid . Depressant effects occur at all levels of the CNS
Ondansetron complications
Hepatic impairment
Intestinal obstruction
Midazolam indications
