lecture 6 Flashcards
Anti-muscarinic drugs
- Atropine (Prototype)
- Scopolamine (hyoscine)
- Ipratropium
Why does Atropine cause mydriasis
atropine blocks the Muscarinic
receptor (which means it blocks the parasympathetic innervation) in the eye and the
sympathetic innervation remains active. This, in turn, will cause dilation of the pupils
which can be used for eye examination
drug for eye examination
atropine
why atropine cause dryness
because Tissues most sensitive to Atropine are the salivary, bronchial and sweat glands
eye result over taking atropine (4)
- Mydriasis of the eye
- Cycloplegia (paralysis of accommodation; inability to focus on close objects, blurred
vision) - Dry eye (sandy eye) due to the effects on the lacrimal gland.
- Photophobia (no response of the eye).
If I want to induce mydriasis only without cycloplegic effect we use ?
Phenylephrine
Despite its function as a Broncho dilator, Atropine is usually not used to
treat Lung diseases why ?
more selective drug that targets M3
receptor which is Ipratropium bromide
The cause of death in atropine overdose is ?
hyperthemia ( due to decrease all secretions )
in bradycardia condition we use?
Atropine
Side effects of anti-muscarinic medications
- Constipation, blurred vision, xerostomia (dryness of the mouth), hyperthermia, flushing,
dryness of the skin, urinary retention, confusion at high doses.
in parkinson & dystonia diseases we use ?
benztropine
one of atropine side effect is Seizures are controlled by
an antiseizure drug called diazepam
Scopolamine (hyoscine) is given in ?
situations in which we don’t want the patient to memorize something like their surgery
situations in which we don’t want the patient to memorize something like their surgery we give him ?
Scopolamine (hyoscine)
why physostigmine are given in small doses ?
because it has risk to cause paralysis or bradycardia which are life threatening
conditions.
diazepam is ?
antiseizure drug
Ipratropium used for
asthma and CODP
Respiratory disorders we give
Ipratropium
Tropicamide for
Ophthalmologic Disorders: To dilate pupil
Cardiovascular Disorders: Sinus bradycardia. we use
atropine
Anesthetic premedication
Scopolamine/Hyoscine, Atropine
in Cholinergic Poisoning we use
atropine
oxybutynin is used for
To decrease bladder overactivity
To suppress gastric acid secretion
pirenzepine
Gastrointestinal Disorders: As antispasmodic
Scopolamine/Hyoscine
Phentermine side effect
cardiovascular disorders like arrhythmia
→ patient suffer from benign prostate hyperplasia we give him
alpha 1 antigonist
Glucose level will be increased by
- Β2 stimulation at the liver will lead to Glycogenlysis.
2. α2 stimulation will inhibit insulin release.
we management of hypertension by _____ agonist
alpha 2
Anti-muscarinic drugs do have little or no action at:
- Skeletal neuromuscular junctions
- Autonomic ganglia
- Adrenal medulla
Anti-muscarinic drugs are competitive antagonists for the binding of ACH (acetylcholine) to the M (muscarinic) receptors. These drugs are:(3)
- Atropine (Prototype)
- Scopolamine (hyoscine)
- Ipratropium
