Exam 2 Flashcards
aspirin
Cox1 > Cox2 inhibitor
antipyretic/analgesic/anti-inflammatory
acetaminophen
COX2 inhibitor
metabolized to endogenous cannabinoid –>reduces pain signaling
antipyretic/analgesic
weak anti-inflammatory
naproxen
non specific COX inhibitor
NSAID
antipyretic/analgesic/anti-inflammatory
methyl salicylate
wintergreen oil, (bengay, icy hot)
counter irritant- stimulates pain receptors to elicit warming effect, “swamps out” pain impulses, metabolized to salicylic acid-ASA (COX inhibitor w/o binding to COX)
triethanolamine (trolamine) salicylate
metabolized to salicylate acid
menthol
cooling effect
counter irritant/analgesic
mild antimicrobial
capsaisin
vanilloid receptor (TRPV1) agonist that overwhelms nerves w/ a burning sensation to reduce pain transmission = counter irritant
hydrocortisone
topical corticosteroid
decreases inflammatory factors from immune cells
triamcinolone, betamethasone, fluticasone, mometasone
nasal/topical corticosteroid
decreases inflammatory factors from immune cells
ketotifen
H1 blocker- antihistamine
opthalmic
pheniramine
H1 blocker- antihistamine
ophthalmic, nasal
diphenhydramine and doxylamine
H1 blocker- antihistamine
CNS penetrating- sedating
cetirizine
H1 blocker- antihistamine
CNS penetrating- somewhat sedating
loratadine
H1 blocker- antihistamine
low CNS penetrating- non sedating
fexofenadine
H1 blocker- antihistamine
low CNS penetrating- non-sedating
MOA of H1 blockers
block H1 receptors in periphery
block H1 receptors in CNS=drowsiness
->decreases pruritis, flushing, vasodilation, vascular permeability, pain potentiation, swelling
Cromolyn
nasal inhaler
stabilizes mast cells that release inflammatory mediators
nasal spray and opthalmic
Dextromethorphan
antitussive, opioid like (l-isomer=potent opioid), blocks medullary cough center
Decongestants and MOA
phenylephrine pseudoephedrine naphazoline oxymetazoline tetrahydrozoline
alpha1 agonists = vasoconstrict
Guaifenesin
expectorant-increases vol/reduces viscosity of bronchial secretions
Local anesthetics and MOA
lidocaine/Xylocaine
benzocaine
dyclonine
block pain neurotransmission through fast voltage gated sodium channels (VGSGs)
Neosporin
neomycin: gram - partial gram +
polymyxin B: gram -
bacitracin: gram +
Docosanol
(Abreva) antiviral
carbamide peroxide
oxidizing agent, broad spectrum antimicrobial
mouth sores, earwax removal, mild earaches
phenol
local anesthetic, antimicrobial
sore throat
permethrin
insecticide from chrysanthemum
lice treatment
terbinafine
athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
ringworm (tinea corporis)
clotrimazole
athlete’s foot, ringworm, thrush, vaginal yeast infections
