Q

Does acetaminophen work DIRECTLY to inhibit a COX pathway in protaglandin synthesis?

Q

Migraines come from what kind of activity in the brain?

A

Arise from neurovascular disturbance in the brain (cortical spreading depression elicits a trigeminovascular reflex).

24
Q

What NTs may cause inflammation/pain in migraine headaches?

A

Dopamine and serotonin release

25
Q

What are Triptans?

A

Serotonin 5-HT1 receptor agonists

26
Q

What are some natural migraine prophylactics that are supported by strong evidence?

A

Feverfew, butterbur, peppermint (topical). CHIROPRACTIC!!!

27
Q

What is an example of an immediate immunologic reaction triggered by antibiotics?

A

Anaphylaxis or hives

28
Q

What is an exmaple of a delayed immunologic reaciton triggered by antibiotics?

A

Rahes, serum sickness, drug fever

29
Q

What antibiotic drugs are most notorious for triggering immunologic reactions?

A

Beta-lactam drugs (penicillins, cephalosporins

30
Q

What are the 4 antiobiotic mechanisms of action?

A

Inhibition of cell wall synthesis
Inhibition of protein synthesis
Inhibition of general metabolic pathways
Inhibition of RNA/DNA synthesis

31
Q

What is the main mechanism of action of penicillins?

A

Beta lactam ring binds to and inhibits cell wall synthesis, eventual bacterial death.

32
Q

What are the noted side effects of penicillins?

Q

T/F

Cephalosporins are one of the smallest classes of antibiotics

A

False,

One of the largest

35
Q

When would a patient want to use particular caution when taking cephalosporins?

A

If patient is allergic to a penicillin.

36
Q

What is the mechanism of action for cephalosporins?

A

Same mechanism as penicillins except broader spectrum

37
Q

What is the mechanism of action of aminoglycosides?

A

Inhibits protein synthesis

38
Q

What are the common uses of aminoglycosides?

A

For life threatening infections

39
Q

What is the mechanism of action of tetracyclines?

43
Q

What is important to do when taking sulfonamides to prevent interactions?

A

Drink at least 3 quarts of water

44
Q

What is the mechanism of action for macrolides?
