Final, Test One Flashcards
- Muscarinic Agonist
- Urinary problems (makes you pee)
Bethanechol
- Muscarinic Agonist
- Tx dry mouth/Sjogren’s
Pilocarpine
- Cholinesterase inhibitor (increases concentration of Ach)
- Tx alzheimer’s
Donepezil
- Muscarinic antagonist
- Stops saliva
- Increases HR after MI
Atropine
- Muscarinic Antagonist
- Motion Sickness
- sedation, constipation, xerostomia, dilated pupils
Scopalamine
- Nicotinic Muscarinic Antagonist
- Relaxes skeletal muscles (during surgery)
Succinylcholine
- A1 agonist
- decongestant
Phenylephrine
- A1 antagonist
- Lowers BP by dilating vessels
- Tx BPH
- Orthostatic hypotension a concern
Prazosin
- A2 agonist (presynaptic receptors)
- Lowers BP by decreasing NE release
- Tx HTN, ADHD, and glaucoma
Clonidine/Guanfacine
- B1 and B2 agonist
- Tx bradycardia, heart block, and some asthma (increases HR, dilates bronchioles)
Isoproterenol
- B-antagonist (non-slective)
- BP drug
- decrease heart rate and bronchoconstrict
Propanolol
-B1 blocker (selective)
Atenolol
- B2 agonist
- Asthma, COPD
- CHRONIC asthma
Albuterol
- B2 agonist
- Asthma, bronchitis
- Slow uterine contractions (delay labor)
Terbutaline
- D2 antagonist
- Schozophrenia, touret’s
Haloperidol
- Mixed agonists
- Increase BP
- Herbal weight loss drugs
Ephedra/Ephedrine/Pseudoephedrine
- Amphetamines in, NE and DA out
- Catecholamine mimickers
Amphetamines
-DA uptake blocker
Cocaine
- DA uptake blocker
- ADHD and narcolepsy
- Ritalin
Methylphenidate
- gingival hyperplasia
- hirsuitism
- blocks Na+ channels
- Zero-order kinetics (monitor closely)
- partial and generalized tonic-clonic
Phenytoin
- Uncomplicated Absence (2x)
- blocks Ca++ channels
Ethosuximide
- Partial and general tonic-clonic seizures
- SJ syndrome
- Na+ channel blocker
Carbamazapine
- blocks Na+ channels
- Side effects= weight, Reye-syndrome, SPINA BIFIDA, Liver toxicity
- Don’t use on pregnant, bad liver
Valproate
Too little DA, too much Ach in nigral striatal pathway, alpha synuclein, Lewy bodies
Parkinson’s
- anticholinergic
- xerostomia (BIG TIME)
- Constipation and urinary retention (take diuretics)
Benztropine
Too MUCH DA, too much AMPA/NMDA Glutamate, too little GABA in the striatal cell bodies
Huntington’s
- Increases dopamine
- works great on symptoms, may accelerate degeneration (psychosis)
- Converted into DA after crossing BB (DA can’t cross- charged)
- Carbidopa prevents the metabolism of levodopa systemically
- glossitis, bruxism, dark saliva/teeth (oxidation of L-DOPA)
- increased sympathetic activity- contraindicates using epi
- L-DOPA could also treat a tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency
L-Dopa + Carbidopa
- Cholinesterase inhibitor
- increase ACh
Donepezil
- Atypical Antipsychotics (Olanzapine, Quetiapine etc)
- SSRIs (Fluoxetine, Sertaline)
- Tricyclic Antidepressants
Antipsychotics/antidepressants
Prednisone, Interferon, Methotrexate are used for
Multiple Sclerosis (Inflammation leads to demyelination)
COMT inhibitor
Entacopone, used for Parks
MAO inhibitor
Selegilne, used for Parks
dopamine D2 agonist
Pramipexole
