25
MOA of Timolol/ Timoptic
Blocks the ocular effects of epinephrine which serves to reduce the production of the aqueous humor.
26
side effects of Timolol/ Timoptic
Systemic absorption may result in several side effects such as the worsening of asthma or emphysema, low blood pressure, fatigue, and impotence.`
27
class of Latanoprost/ Xalatan
selective prostaglandin recepto agonist
28
MOA of Latanoprost/ Xalatan
selective prostaglandin receptor agonist that increases uveoscleral outflow thus improving the outflow of aqueous humor and reducing intraocular pressure.
29
side effects of Latanoprost/ Xalatan
Generally few side effects, may cause local irritation, possible darkening of the iris to brown (heterochromia), lengthening, thickening and darkening of the eyelashes
30
what is a solution
medication dissolved in a solvent
31
what is a lotion
powder in water or oil suspension
32
what is a cream
water in oil emulsion
33
what is an ointment
oil in water emulsion
34
Increased skin penetration of an agent occurs with
decreased molecular size, increased lipid content and increased concentration of the agent
35
why do topical doses given to children have potentially greater systemic effect than when given on adults
children have greater ratio of surface area to mass than adults
36
class of Polymyxin B - Neomycin/ Neosporin
topical antimicrobial
37
ind. of Polymyxin B - Neomycin/ Neosporin
Superficial bacterial skin infections, eyes and external ear infection. Used prophylactically against bacterial contamination of abrasions, burns, skin grafts or incisions. Application may prevent infection and permit normal healing.
38
MOA of Polymyxin B - Neomycin/ Neosporin
Polymyxin disrupts the structure of the bacterial cell membrane by interacting with phospholipids. Bacitracin interferes with the peptidoglycans of the bacterial cell wall.
39
serious side effect of Polymyxin B - Neomycin/ Neosporin
Avoid use of otic solution when perorated TM is known or suspected because of potential ototoxicity from Neomycin.
40
Polymyxin B - Neomycin/ Neosporin may also be prepared w/ a
corticosteroid
41
class of Mupirocin/ Bactroban
Topical antibiotic
42
ind. of Mupirocin/ Bactroban
Impetigo as well as other skin infections caused by bacteria. Highly active against Staph and Strep. Usually used in conjunction with oral or IV antibiotics in the treatment of MRSA. It is not effective against fungal or viral infections.
43
MOA of Mupirocin/ Bactroban
Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis
44
class of Ketoconazole/ Nizarol
topical antifungal
45
ind. of Ketoconazole/ Nizarol
Superficial fungal infection such as tinea pedis, tinea cruris and tinea corporis (ring worm), superficial yeast infections and seborrheic dermatitis.
46
MOA of Ketoconazole/ Nizarol
inhibits sterol synthesis
47
most potent class of topical glucocorticoids
class 1
48
least potent class of topical glucocorticoids
class 7
49
most potent form of topical steroids
halogenated corticosteroids
50
class of Hydrocortisone/ Cortef
Glucocorticoid/corticosteroid
51
MOA of Hydrocortisone/ Cortef
Anti-inflammatory. Affects gene transcription to either stimulate or repress protein production.
52
MOA of retinoids
Cellular proliferation and differentiation, immune function, inflammation and sebum production may all be modified by retinoid treatment.
53
when treating MRSA with it is recommended that ____ be applied to the ____
Mupirocin/Bactroban applied to the nares
54
class of Tretinoin/ Retin A
Vitamin A derivative
55
ind. of Tretinoin/ Retin A
acne and treatment of photo-damaged skin
56
MOA of Tretinoin/ Retin A
Reduction of hyperkeratinization that leads to microcomedone formation, the initial lesion in acne. Retin A also increases epidermal thickness and increases dermal collagen synthesis.
57
class of Isotretinoin/ Accutane
vitamin A derivative
58
ind. of Isotretinoin/ Accutane
Acne, acne rosacea and hidradenitis supperativa
59
MOA of Isotretinoin/ Accutane
Reduction of hyperkeratinization, reduction in sebaceous gland number and sebum production and reduction of Propionibacterium acne, the organism that is believed to contribute to acne associated inflammation.
60
Side effects of Isotretinoin/ Accutane
Teratogenicity – most noted in the first three weeks of gestation. Pregnancy is an absolute contraindication to the use of isotretinoin. Two forms of birth control are usually recommended in all females of child bearing years who are using this drug.
61
what condition would you not want to use a topical corticosteroid with
perioral dermatitis
62
step-wise progression of treating psoriasis
- Topical corticosteroids - Topical vitamin D (ex. Calciprotriene) - Topical vitamin A analogs (ex. Tazarotine) - Phototherapy - Systemic therapy including oral steroids, chemotherapy agents (i.e. Methotrexate) and TNF-α inhibitors (i.e. Infliximab/ Remicade, and Etanercept/ Enbrel)
63
what is phototherapy?
- Phototherapy is the term used to describe the use of electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation (usually ultraviolet A or B) as a therapeutic agent. - Phototherapy generally involves the use of UVB although psoralen + UVA (PUVA) is still used. - Photochemotherapy implies that an agent such as a psoralen drug (i.e. Methoxsalen) is added to the treatment.
64
what is PUVA?
PUVA stands for psoralen (P) and ultraviolet A (UVA) therapy in which the patient is first given a psoralen (a drug containing chemicals that react with ultraviolet light) and then exposed to UVA light. Used to treat psoriasis.
65
MOA of PUVA
The mechanism of action of PUVA therapy is not fully understood. There is evidence that the therapy induces an anti-inflammatory affect through immunosuppression as well as an inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis.
66
Most serious side effect of PUVA
The most serious chronic side effect of PUVA therapy is an increased risk for the development of skin cancer.
