TCA used in chronic pain, enuresis, and OCD
*Imipramine
Unicyclic antidepressant least likely to affect sexual performance, used for management of nicotine withdrawal, SE’s include dizziness, dry mouth, aggravation of psychosis, and seizures
*Bupropion
Activation of these receptors close Ca2+ ion channels to inhibit neurotransmitter release and pain transmission
*Presynaptic mu, delta, and kappa receptors
Tolerance to all effects of opioid agonists can develop except
*Miosis, convulsions and constipation
Opioid used in the management of withdrawal states
*Methadone
Opioid available trans-dermally
*Fentanyl
Opioid that can be given PO, by epidural, and IV, which helps to relieve the dyspnea of pulmonary edema
*Morphine
Moderate opioid agonists
*Codeine, hydrocodone, and oxycodone
Opioid antagonist that is given IV and has a short DOA
*Naloxone
Opioid antagonist that is given orally in alcohol dependency programs
*Naltrexone
Readily detected markers that may assist in diagnosis of the cause of a drug overdose include
*Changes in heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, body temperature, sweating, bowel signs, and pupillary responses
This agent may cause more severe, rapid and intense symptoms (abstinence syndrome) to a recovering addict (etOH)
*Naloxone
“Date rape drug”
*Flunitrazepam (rohypnol)
These agents are CNS depressants
*Ethanol, Barbiturates, and Benzodiazepines
Treatments available for nicotine addiction
*Patches, gum, nasal spray, psychotherapy, and bupropion
THC is active ingredient, SE’s include impairment of judgment, and reflexes, decreases in blood pressure and psychomotor performance occur
*Marijuana
This agent has greater affinity for muscarinic receptors and used for postoperative and neurogenic ileus and urinary retention
*Bethanechol
“Give Beth-Ann-A-Call if you want your PNS stimulated”
Toxicity of cholinergics
*DUMBELSS (diarrhea, urination, miosis, bronchoconstriction, excitation of skeletal muscle and CNS, lacrimation, salivation, and sweating)
Treat manifestations of Parkinson’s disease and EPS
*Benztropine, trihexyphenidyl
Treatment of motion sickness
*Scopolamine
Produce mydriasis and cycloplegia
*Atropine, homatropine, and tropicamide
Bronchodilation in asthma and COPD
*Ipratropium
Mnemonic for beta receptors
*You have 1 heart (Beta 1) and 2 lungs (Beta 2)
