Terbutaline
Class: Direct Adrenoceptor Agonists - β2 selectiveMOA: increase cAMP –> bronchodilation and smooth muscle relaxationUse: asthma, status asthmaticus, and uterine relaxation in premature laborAdverse effects: tremors
Procainamide
Class: Class 1A anti-arrhythmeticsMOA: moderate Na channel block –> elevating depolarization threshold, decreasing phase 4 for depolarization. Block K channel –> prolonging AP duration. Ganglion blockage –> increase AV node conductionUse: atrial and ventricular arrhythmia, post-MI arrhythmia , wide-complex tachycardiaPK/PD: oral and IV admin, short half life, hepatic metabolism, renal excretion, contraindicated in chronic arthritisAdverse Effects: Cardiotoxic (Torsades de Pointes), lupus-like syndrome*does not elevate digoxin levels
Hydrocortisone
Class: Glucocorticoids - short actingUse: adrenal insufficiency, asthmaPK/PD: admin oral aerosol, or topical. inactivated by placenta –> use to treat motherContraindications: gastric ulcer, anaphylaxis, CML, endotoxic shock, sclerodermaAdverse Effects: abdominal striae, osteoporosis, hyperglycemia, moon facies, typical glucocorticoid effects*sudden withdrawal –> adrenal insufficiency. This is due to suppression of endogenous HPA axis
Echothiophate
Class: Cholinesterase Inhibitors - Organophosphates IrreversibleDistributes to CNSPralidoxime (2-PAM) treats poisoning
Diazoxide
Class: direct vasodilatorsMOA: K channel activation –> hyperpolarization. Arterial dilationUse: HTN Admin IVAdverse Effects: reflex tachycardia, fluid retention, HA, palpitation
Fosaprepitant
Class: Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonistUse: chemo-induced emesis
Norethynodrel
Class: ProgestinsMOA: proliferation of mammary acini. thermogenic. moderately anabolic. growth of endometrium. progestational (esp. norgestrel). estrogenic activity (esp. norethynodrel, ethynodiol diacetate). anti-estrogenic activity. androgenic activity (exc. norgestrel, desogestrel)Use: Oral contraception (combo or alone [not at effective])PK/PD: high first pass metabolism. admin oral (norethindrone, norgesterel), implant (norgesterel), IM (medroxy)Adverse Effects: Increase appetite, fatigue
Cabergoline
Class: dopamine agonistMOA: D2 agonistUse: Parkinsonism, hyperprolactinemia, prolactinomaAdverse Effects: NandV, orthostatic hypotension, fluctuation in efficacy of motor control, abnormal involuntary movements, arrhythmia, hypersexuality, hallucinations, paranoia, anxiety, mania, depression
Phenylephrine
Class: Direct Adrenoceptor Agonists - α1 selectiveUse: mydriasis (eye exams) and nasal decongestion
Valsartan
Class: ARBsMOA: selectively inhibit AT1 receptors –> vasodilationUse: HTNPK/PD: more effective at blocking angiotensin than ACE inhibitors b/c more specific*no effect on bradykinin, thus no cough or edema
Torsemide
Class: Loop diureticsMOA: inhibit NKCC –> decreased Na/Cl/K reabsorption –> osmotic diuresis. Change in potential –> Mg and Ca excretionUse: Pulmonary edema, CHF, HTN, acute hypercalcemia, hyperkalemnia, acute renal failurePK/PD: admin oral, IV, or IM. rapidly absorbed. Elimination = tubular secretion and absorptionAdverse Effects: hypokalemia, hyperuricemia, hyperglycemia, ototoxicity, dehydration, hyonatremia, metabolic alkalosis (contraction alkalosis)*hypomagnesemia –> increased PG production and renal blood flow aiding anti-hypertensive effect*Effective when GFR is low*more effective diuretic than thiazide*use ethacrynic acid of pt has sulfa allergy
Soman
Class: Cholinesterase Inhibitors - Organophosphates IrreversibleUse: war gasDistributes to CNSPralidoxime (2-PAM) treats poisoning
