Edrophonium. short acting; myasthenia gravis now diagnosed with antibody-AChR Ab test
33
With all cholinomimetic agents, what should you watch out for?
Exacerbaions of COPD,Athsma, Peptic ulcers
34
Give an example of an oranophosphate
Parathion; Organophosphates common in insecticides; posoning usually seen in farmers.
35
What is the antidote for organophosphate posioning (irreversibel acetylchoinesterase inhibitor)?
Atropine (antimuscarinic) + Pralidoxime (regenerates AChE if given early)
36
Muscarinic antagonists: Atropine, Homatropine, Tropicamide
produces mydriasis and cycloplegia
37
Muscarinic antagonists: Benztropine
PARKinson disease: 'PARK my BENZ'
38
Muscarinic antagonists: Scopolamine
Motion Sickness
39
Muscarinic antagonists:Ipratropium, Tiotropium
Respiratory: COPD, Athsma
40
Muscarinic antagonists:Oxybutynin, darifenacin, solifenacin
Genitouinary. Reduce urgency in mild cystitis and reduce bladder spasms. Other agents: tolterodine, fesoterodine, trospium
41
Muscarinic antagonists: Glycopyrrolate
Gastrointestinal, respiratory: Parentaral: preoperative use to reduce airway secretions. Oral: drooling, peptic ulcer.
42
Atropine
used to treat bradycardia and for ophthalmic applications
43
Atropine
can cause acute angle closure in elderly (due to mydriasis), urinary retention in men with prostatic hypertension, and hyperthermia in infants
44
Jimson weeed (Datura)
gardeners pupil (mydriasis due to plant alkaloids)
45
Epinepherine

46
Norepinephrine
a1 > a2> beta
47
Isoproterenol receptor/use:
beta1=beta2; electrophysiologic evaluation of tachyarrhythmias. can worsen ischemia
48
Dopamine

orthostatic hypotension, reflex tachycardia
63
phentolamine use
give to patients on MAO inhibitors who eat tyramine containing foods
64
