days 14-28 of cycle
luteal phase, dominated by progesterone
raloxifene effects on bone density, breast cancer, CV, & uterine cancer
raloxifene- SERM
positive effects on bone density and breast cancer risk

does not increase risk of uterine cancer
estrogen/bazedoxifine
combined estrogen and estrogen receptor agonist/antagonist
prescribed for vasomotor symptoms, osteoporosis prevention
PROTECTS ENDOMETRIUM
effects of adding progestin to HRT
protects against endometrial cancer
stimulates breast cancer risk
depression
breast tenderness
Women who still have a uterus must have what added to their estrogen HRT therapy?
progestin
chlorphiramine
first gen antihistamine
clemastine
first gen antihistamine
fexofenadine (allegra)
second generation antihistamine
cetirizine
second generation antihistamine
budesonide
glucocorticoid drug for asthma
fluticasone
glucocorticoid drug for asthma
adverse effects of inhaled glucocorticoid therapy for asthma
dysphonia and oropharyngeal candidiasis
Montelukast
leukotriene modifier for asthma
oral administration
cromolyn
used for prophylaxis of asthma symptoms. Suppresses inflammation.
principal bronchodilators in asthma treatment
Beta 2 adrenergic agonists-
salmeterol
longer-acting beta agonist for asthma treatment. Not effective for immediate rescue therapy.
adverse effects of beta2 adrenergic agonists
tachycardia, angina, tremor— dose dependent, should not occur unless pt is overdosing on inhaler.
fluticasone/salmeterol and budesonide
glucocorticoid/LABA combinations for long-term asthma maintenance in adults and children who have failed treatment with SABA. LABA should never be taken alone- should always be taken with glucocorticoid
How long to wait between 2 puffs of beta agonist? How much to wait between SABA and glucocorticoid?
1 minute between puffs of albuterol
5 minutes between SABA and glucocorticoid
Therapy of severe asthma exacerbations
oxygen
systemic, IV glucocorticoid
nebulized high-dose SABA
nebulized ipratropium (anticholinergic med) to reduce airflow obstruction
ipratropium
anticholinergic receptor that further reduces bronchoconstriction in acute asthma exacerbations
Adverse effects: dry mouth, irritation of pharynx, increase in eye pressure in those with glaucoma, and rare possible CV events.
What drugs are used to treat H. pylori with ulcer?
Antibiotics and antisecretory agents (H2 blockers, prilosec)
Antibiotics for PUD and H. pylori
Amoxicillin Clarithromycin Bismuth compounds Tetracycline Metronidazole (flagyl)
Use a minimum of 2 antibiotics, up to 3
Cimetidine
H2-receptor antagonist for PUD
May cross BBB and cause CNS side effects
Cannot be taken within 1 hour of an antacid, best on an empty stomach.
Antiadrogenic effects.
IV bolus: can cause hypotension and dysrhythmias.
Ranitidine
H2-receptor antagonist for PUD
Newer generation— few side effects and fewer interactions
Famotidine
H2-receptor antagonist for PUD
H2-receptor antagonists
First-choice drugs for treating gastric and duodenal ulcers. Suppress secretion of gastric acid
What should not be ingested while taking Metronidazole (Flagyl)
alcohol
sucralfate (Carafate)
Sucralfate creates a protective, mucous like barrier for up to six hours. It does nothing to acid secretions and is not absorbed and thus has minimal side effects. Constipation occurs in about 2% of patients. Because it is not absorbed, systemic effects are absent.
Proton pump inhibitors
most effective drugs for suppressing secretion of gastric acid
Increase the risk of fracture, pneumonia, acid rebound, and C. diff infection.
Omeprazole (prilosec)
Proton pump inhibitor- inhibits gastric secretion
Irreversible proton pump inhibitor- effects last several days
Short half life
Should be used short term
misoprostol
used to treat gastric ulcers caused by NSAIDs
side effect: dose-related diarrhea
pregnancy test necessary
Anatacids (calcium, magnesium, aluminum compounds)
React with gastric acid to produce neutral salts
Use with caution in pts with renal impairment
contraindications for laxative use
abdominal pain, nausea, cramps, guarding
acute surgical abdomen- rebound, etc- workup needed before laxative
fecal impaction, bowel obstruction
habitual use
Use with caution in pregnancy and lactation
psyllium (metamucil and citrucel)
bulk-forming laxative
Functions similarly to dietary fiber
preferred treatment for temporary treatment of constipation
docusate sodium (colace)
surfactant laxative—commonly used for pts on opiates
bisacodyl (dulcolax)
stimulant laxative
stimulate intestinal motility
increase quantities of water and electrolytes in the intestinal lumen
good for opioid-induced constipation
milk of magnesia and polyethylene glycol (miralax)
osmotic laxatives
poorly absorbed salts that draw water into the intestinal lumen
low doses- work in 6-12 hours
high dose- results in 2-6 hours (cathartic effect)
cause substantial water loss and dehydration, renal toxicity
may cause sodium retention and exacerbate HF, HTN, edema (sodium phosphate compounds are worst for this)
Bowel-cleansing products for colonscopy
Sodium phosphate- hypertonic
Polyethylene glycol plus electrolytes (GoLYTELY)— isotonic with body fluids, no major loss of electrolytes, but requires large volume of bad-tasting liquid.
Which laxatives are commonly used long-term use and seem safe in children?
???
Which laxative is preferred to prevent opioid-induced constipation?
Bisacodyl (dulcolax)
Penicillin
narrow-spectrum penicillin that is effective only on gram-positive bacteria. It works on strep that can’t make the enzyme penicillinase. Penicillin can produce a mild allergic reaction or even a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.
Ampicillin
a broad-spectrum penicillin that is effective on some gram negative bacteria as well as gram positive.
Adverse effects include rash (common side effect) and diarrhea (common side effect).
2 main gram positive bacteria
strep and staph
1 drug for group A strep
penicillin
nafcillin
narrow spectrum penicillin
pencilinase-resistant- works against staph aureus drugs that make penicilinase
ticarcillin
extended-spectrum
effective against pseudomonas
still will not kill MRSA
risk of sodium overload (given as a salt)
