Exam 4 Pharmacology Flashcards
mild anxiety tx
SSRI > Benzo > TCAD, MAOIs
what is difference betwen Phase 1 and phase 2 metabolism
phase 1 is slow with long T1/2 that leads to daytime sedation and contraindicated in elderly.
phase 2 are fast with short t1/2 and good for elderly

when is BZD used in overdoses?
CNS stimulant, hallucinogens, dissocitave anesthetics - for agitation support
Eszopiclone use
sleep maintence
BDZ - uses
alcohol withdrawal - Chlorodiazopoxide, lorazepam Anxiolytic for GAD, panic Short term insomnia parasomnia in kids Status epileptics - Lorazepam, diazepam

Due to side effects not first choice in partial or tonic clonic
Add on for partial and tonic clonic
IV form - fosphenytoin used for active seizure
Half life of Z drugs
longest is Eszopiclone
Citalopram - class
SSRI
Trazodone uses
Insomnia to decrease REM but increase SWS
Antidepressant
Mirtazapine - class
alpha 2 antagonist to increase NE and antagonize 5HT2 and 5TH3
Suvorexant
Sleep aid that is antagonist to Orexin R (ynthesized in latera hypothalamus) used to reduce sleep latency, increase REM and NREM sleep
Schedule IV, very expensive!
lamotrigine ADRs
similar to pheytoin but much less
Dizzy, diplopia, skin rash, SJS
Halothane
volatile anesthetic
DDIs of Valproate
inhibits metabolism of CP450
which antidepressants cause sedation?
TCADs, Trazodone, mirtazapine
Lithium - class
Antimanic - maintenance and prophylaxis
Potency of Haloperidol vs. Chlorpamazine
Haloperidol is low potency compared to chlorpromazine
Levitracetam - ADRs
somnolence, dizziness, safe in pregnancy
metabolsim of barbiturates
cyp450 inducers
Alcohol mechanism
Facilitates GABA-a CHannel and antagonizes NMDA-R to cause CNS depression
3
Olanzapine - class
Atypical antipsychotic
Lithium mechanism
unclear
Enhances 5HT and decreases DA and NE,
interefere with PIP recycling
Isoflurane
volatile anesthetic
What BZD are used for sleep?
Triazolam, flurazepam, temezapm
Mirtazapine Side Effects
NO sexual dysfunction, but weight gain, dry mouth, sedation
antidepresants and weight gain
highest with TCADs, mirtazapine, paroxetine
lowest with buproprion
Buprenoprhine
partial mu agonist
Ethosuximide – class
old broad spectrum antiepileptic that blocks T type Calcium Channel
Quetapine - class
Atypical antipsychotic
Benzos used as antiepileptics
Clonazepam (absence), diazepam (Status epilepticus)
Opsthontonus
part of acute dystonia - backward carching of neck
Phenelzine - class
MAOi -A to increase 5HT, NE, and DA by preventing degradation
Pharmokinetics of Phenytoin
zero order - small dose changes lead to toxicity
Oxazepam - class
BDZ
Side Effects of TCAD
Major: high Anticholinergic effects, also risk of overdose/death with convulsions, coma, cardiotoxicity (arrhythmia)
weight agin, sexual dysfunction, ortho hypotension, prolonged QT, sedation
Escitralopram - class
SSRI
Buspirone class
5HT partical agonst used to treat chornic anxiety - some risk of EPS
BDZ - short half lives
alprazolam, triazolam, oxazepam, mirazolam
BDZ - ind half lives
Lorazepam, temazepam
DA:5HT ration for atypical antipsychotics
low compared to typical,
Aripirazole - slightly higher than others
Sevoflurane
volatile anesthetic
Chlorpromazine - Class
1st generation antipyschoti, with extremely high DA:5HT ratio
Bupropion - class
Atypical Antidepressant by blocking Ne and DA reuptake.
what class of drugs has no weight gain side effects for antidepressants?
Bupropion
Fluoxetine - class
SSRI
BDZ - long half lives
flurazepam, diazepam, chlordiazepoxide
Trazodone - class
