16
Q

Oxytocin

A

Affects uterine contraction
- Gq causing an increase of Calcium
- Calcium activates Calmodulin activates MLCK –> Uterine Contractions

17
Q

Ergometrine

A

May act on Alpha-Adrenoceptor and partly on 5-HT Receptors
- Stimulates Uterine Contraction

Stronger effect on relaxed uterus
Minimal effect on contracted uterus

18
Q

Domperidone

A

D2 Antagonist
- Treats Chemotherapy/Cytotoxic related Vomiting

19
Q

Metoclopramide

A

D2 Antagonist
- Treats Chemotherapy/Cytotoxic related Vomiting

20
Q

Profenamine

A

D2 Antagonist
- Treats Chemotherapy/Cytotoxic related Vomiting

21
Q

Mifepristone

A

Given first to allow for a lower dose of prostaglandin
- Followed by a Prostaglandin Analog

Competitive Progesterone Receptor Antagonist / Partial Agonist
- Sensitizes uterine muscles to prostaglandins
- Prostaglandin stimulates uterine contraction for abortion

22
Q

Misoprostol

A

Induces Medical Abortion
- Prostaglandin E1 Analog

Induces myometrial contraction leading to the expulsion of the fetus

23
Q

Gemeprost

A

Induces Medical Abortion
- Prostaglandin E1 Analog

Induces myometrial contraction leading to the expulsion of the fetus

24
Q

Dinoprostone

A

Induces Medical Abortion
- Prostaglandin E2 Analog

Induces myometrial contraction leading to the expulsion of the fetus

25
Carboprost
Induces Medical Abortion - Prostaglandin F2alpha Analog Induces myometrial contraction leading to the expulsion of the fetus
26
Atosiban
Competitive antagonist of oxytocin receptor - Delays labour Prevents increase of IP3 - No increase in intracellular calcium - No increase in MLCK for uterine contraction Suppresses oxytocin-induced release of prostaglandins
27
Clomiphene
Competitive Estrogen Antagonist - Inhibits negative feedback - More Gonadotrophin - More FSH Adverse Effect: - Reversible Ovarian Enlargement - Manipulation of negative feedback often leads to twins Treats Infertility
28
Gonadorelin
Synthetic GnRH - Given pulsatile to increase FSH Used if Clomiphene does not work Treats Infertility
29
Follitropin
Recombinant FSH Treats Infertility
30
Lutropin
Recombinant LH Treats Infertility
31
Buserelin
GnRH Analogue - Given pulsatile to increase FSH Used if Clomiphene does not work Treats Infertility
32
Leuprorelin
GnRH Analogue - Given pulsatile to increase FSH Used if Clomiphene does not work Treats Infertility
33
Goserelin
GnRH Analogue - Given pulsatile to increase FSH Used if Clomiphene does not work Treats Infertility
34
Nafarelin
GnRH Analogue - Given pulsatile to increase FSH 200x more potent than Gonadorelin (Synthetic GnRH) Used if Clomiphene does not work Treats Infertility
35
Sildenafil
PDE V Inhibitor - Prevent breakdown of cGMP --> More activation of PKG --> Vasodilation Treats Erectile Dysfunction
36
Tadalafil
PDE V Inhibitor - Prevent breakdown of cGMP --> More activation of PKG --> Vasodilation Treats Erectile Dysfunction Longer Acting
37
Vardenafil
PDE V Inhibitor - Prevent breakdown of cGMP --> More activation of PKG --> Vasodilation Treats Erectile Dysfunction More specific for PDE V
