Exam 1 review Flashcards
What are the phases of drug development
1 - Safety assessment
2 - Drug Effectiveness
3 - Large trials, RCT
4 - Drug approved, post marketing surveillance
What are the schedules for controlled substances
1 - high abuse potential
2 - accepted medical uses, high abuse potential
3 - limited refill due to abuse potential, low to mod abuse potential
4 - low abuse and dependence
5 - lowest abuse potential
What makes a drug selective
If it binds affects only one type of cell or tissue
What is super sensitivity
Prolonged decrease in stimulation of receptors resulting in increase in receptor sensitivity
Describe the parasympathetic nervous system
Cholinergic Acetylcholine M1, M4, M5 - CNS M2 - heart M3 - bladder, pancreas
Describe the sympathetic nervous system
Adrenergic Norepinephrine Alpha 1 - smooth muscle Alpha 2 - CNS, GI tract, pancreas Beta 1 - cardiac muscles, kidneys Beta 2 - bronchioles Beta 3 - fat cells
Describe cholinergic stimulants
Increase activity at cholinergic synapses
Direct acting - bind to receptors, treat: glaucoma, dry mouth, urinary retention
Indirect acting - inhibit enzymes, treat: Myasthenia gravis, Alzheimer’s, Glaucoma, reversal of NM block
What are side effects of Cholinergic drugs
GI distress Increased salivation Bronchoconstriction Bradycardia Difficulty in visual accommodation
SLUDGE Salivation Lacrimation Urination Diarrhea GI cramps Emesis
Describe anti cholinergic drugs
Decrease cholinergic stimulation treat: Peptic ulcers and IBS Parkinson's Motion sickness CV and respiratory disorders Overactive Bladder Dilate pupils
What are side effects of anticholinergic drugs
Dry mouth blurred vision Urinary retention Constipation Tachycardia
Hot as hell
Blind as a bat
Red as a beet
Mad as a hatter
Describe alpha 1 agonists
Vasoconstrictors
Treat: hypotension and nasal congestion
Decrease HR during tachycardia
SE: increased BP, reflex bradycardia
Describe alpha 2 agonists
Inhibit sympathetic discharge
Treat: hypertension and spasticity
SE: dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth
Describe Beta 1 agonists
Increase HR and CO
Treat: CV shock and heart failure
SE: chest pain, arrhythmias, SOB, difficulty breathing
Describe beta 2 agonists
mediates relaxation of smooth muscle
Treat: bronchospasm
Prevents premature labor and contractions
SE: nervousness, restlessness, trembling, airway hyper responsiveness
Describe alpha antagonists
Reduce peripheral vascular tone
Treat: increase in BP, raynaud’s syndrome, PVD
SE: reflex tachycardia
