Introduction to Pharmacology, Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, and Muscle Relaxants/Anxiolytics Flashcards
Adverse drug reaction:
- Is an expected or known effect and is unintended.
- Is an expected or known effect and is intended.
- Is harm directly caused at normal doses.
- Is harm directly caused at excess doses.
Is harm directly caused at normal doses.
Anti-platelet aggregant is given mainly to:
- Prevent thrombosis.
- Minimize inflammation.
- Lowers fever.
- Stops bleeding.
- Relieves pain.
Prevent thrombosis.
Anti-pyretic:
- NSAIDS
- Inhibits the action of prostaglandins.
- Aspirin
- Lowers fever.
NSAIDS, inhibits the action of prostaglandins, Aspirin, and lowers fever.
Anticoagulants:
- Relieves pain.
- An effect of Acetaminophen.
- Will cause bleeding as an adverse effect.
- Achieved by promoting platelet aggregation.
- Lowers fever.
Will cause bleeding as an adverse effect.
Causes pain, fever, and inflammation:
- Prostaglandins
- NSAIDS
- Steroids
- COX enzymes
- Arachidonic acid
Prostaglandins
Drug to drug interaction can affect drug response. An example would be:
- Taking Vitamin C while taking Iron.
- Eating aged cheese while taking Monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
- Eating citrus fruit while taking Iron.
- Having a condition such as Chronic Kidney Disease.
Taking Vitamin C while taking Iron.
Enzyme responsible for the production of leukotrienes:
- Arachidonic acid
- COX-1
- COX-2
- Phospholipase
- Lipoxygenase
Lipoxygenase
Enzyme responsible for the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes:
- Lipoxygenase
- Arachidonic acid
- Cyclooxygenase
- Prostaglandins
- Phospholipase
Cyclooxygenase
How glucocorticoids achieve its anti-inflammatory effects:
- None of the choices.
- Inhibit cyclooxygenase.
- Increases blood glucose.
- Inhibit phospholipase A2.
- Destroys arachidonic acid.
Inhibit phospholipase A2.
Mefenamic acid:
- Dolfenal
- Alaxan
- Aspirin
- Arcoxia
- Glucocorticoid
Dolfenal
Not true of Paracetamol:
- Also known as acetaminophen.
- A pain reliever.
- Anti-platelet aggregant
- Analgesic
- Is a generic name.
Anti-platelet aggregant
Pain relievers:
- Anti-pyretic
- Analgesic
- Anti-platelet
- Anti-inflammatory
Analgesic
Pharmacodynamics:
- Is the study of how it is absorbed by the body, how it is distributed and eliminated by the body.
- Is the study of how the body deals with the drug.
- Is the study of what the drug does to the body.
- None of the above.
Is the study of what the drug does to the body.
Pharmacokinetics:
- Is the study of how it is absorbed by the body, how it is distributed and eliminated by the body.
- Is the study of how the body deals with the drug.
- Both A and B.
- None of the above.
- Is the study of how it is absorbed by the body, how it is distributed and eliminated by the body.
