just the drugs Flashcards
What are the direct acting cholinomimetics
Ach bethanechol carbachol cevimeline methacholine pilocarpine varenicline(chantix)
What are the main cholinesterase inhibitors
donepezil, neostigmine, physostigmine, pyridostigmine
What is the cholinesterase regenerator
pralidoxime
What are the major anti-muscarbinic drugs
scopolamine, atropine, ipratropium, tiotropium, oxybutynin, trospium,
What is the ganglion blocker
mecamylamine
what is used to Tx motion sickness
anti mAchR- scopolamine
what anti muscarinc drug is used to treat asthma or COPD
ipratropium and tiotropium
what antimAchR is used for urinary disorders
oxybutynin
in cholinergic overdoes what drug is used for reversal
atropine and pralidoxime
Which cholinergic agonists cannot distribute to brain
Ach, carbachol and bethanechol because they are quarternary ammonium groups
what cholinergic mimetic is used orally to treat xerostomia
cevimeline
what drug is given for smoking cessation
mAchR agonist- varenicline
how does alcohol work on mAch transmission
binda AchE and blocks its actions
What are examples of organophosphates
echthiophate, parathion, malathion, sarin, soman, tabun
Which cholinesterase inhibitor is most potent/dangerous
the organophosphates because are covalent and irreversible
why is there no CNS distribution with cholinesterase inhibitors: neostigmine
because they are quaternary and charged
why does physostigmine have CNS distribution
tertiary uncharged AchE inhibitor
do organophosphates cross BBB
yes because lipid soluble
which sites of action do AchE inhibitors work on
nAchRs and mAchRs on effector organs
what drug do you use to Tx and overdoes of anticholinergics when patient is displaying neuro Sx?
physostigmine because crosses BBB
what will occur if use AchE inhibitor with cholinergic agonist
enhanced effect
what happens if use AchE inhibitor with beta blocker
bradycardic
What is a cholinesterase regenerator that we use
pralidoxime
what do you give if suspected nerve gas poisoning
atropine and pralidoxime
to pretreat for nerve agen poisoning what is given
pyridostigmine
is atropine a selectice mAchR antagonist?
no
describe effects of atropine on heart in low doses? high doses?
low causes initial bradycardia
high causes tachycardia
