medications and vaccines Flashcards
amphotericin B
treats systemic mycoses,
causes nephrotoxicity (renal tubular dysfunction)
failed vaccine
-decreased production of naive B and T lymphocytes
-loss of telomerase length in the elderly
-naive cells can’t differentiate into memory cells
clauvulanic acid
-beta lactase inhibitor
-decreases amoxicillin cleavage by bacterial cells
-allows abx to retain its efficacy
drugs that cause aplastic anemia
Can’t Make New Blood Cells Properly
-carbamazepine
-methimizole
-nsaids
-benzene
-chloramphenical
-propylthiouracil
inducers of CYP450
-phenytoin
plasminogen activators
-streptokinase
alteplase
tissue plasminogen activator
streptokinase inhibitor
aminocaproic acid
thrombin (IIa) inhibitors
-heparin (with antithrombin III)
-LMWH
-argatroban
-dabigatran
-bivalirudin
anti Xa inhibitors
-LMWH
-fondaparinux
-enoxaparin
-apixaban
but goal is to decrease prothrombin to thrombin
desmopressin
- increases circulating vonwillibrand factor
(bridge between platelets and exposed endothelium)
EPO
-activates Jak/Stat2
-transcription -> inhibits apoptosis otherwise clonal proliferation
Should see increased retic count
infliximab
- mAB to TNF alpha
-treats rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease - can develop antibodies against tnf alpha
bleomycin
- induces free radical formation and DNA strand breaks
-causes pulmonary fibrosis
nitrites
-treat cyanide poisoning due to inducing methmeglobinemia
drugs that cause megaloblastic anemia
- hydroxyurea
- phenytoin
-methotrexate
-sulfa drugs
my pills huge size
cladribine
treats hairy cell leukemia
vitamin A treats
APML
imatinib or dasatinib
treats CML
SGLT2 inhibitors
canagliflozin, dapagliflozin
cholestyramine
upregulates hepatic LDL receptors
bile acid binding agent
long acting insulin
glargine, detamir, degludec
short acting insulin
aspart, lispro, glulisine
metaclopramide
D2 receptors in gut
- can cause de novo parkinsons
ranitidine
H2 receptor blocker, inhibits gastric acid secretion (Zantac)
chlorpheniramine
first generation antihistamine
azoles
inhibits synthesis of ergosterol
baclofen
GABA b agonist
treats muscle spasicity and cerebral palsy
tetrabenazine
dopamine depletion, treats tourettes
bisacodyl
stimulates enteric nerves to improve peristalsis in gut
cromolyn
inhibits mast cell degranulation and release of preformed chemical mediators
sudan III stain
tests fat absorption in stool
naloxone
-treats opiod overdose
-competitively binds to cell surface receptors
carbolfuscion stain
tests for mycolic acid
thiazide diuretics
inhibits Na,CL cotransporter in DCT
P2Y12 inhibitors
clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticlopidine, ticregalor
direct GpIIbIIIA inhibitors
abciximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban
mecA gene
encodes penicillin binding protein
sofosbufir and ledispavir
inhibits viral genome replication and assembly
integrase inhibitors
inhibits production of viral mRNA
isoniazid
- inhibits mycolic acid synthesis
- only active against mycobacteria
- causes bacteria to lose acid fastness so they can’t synthesize new cell walls or multiply
bosentan
endothelin receptor antagonist (blocks vasoconstriction)
used in pulmonary hypertension
valproate
-treats manic features like bipolar and seizure disorders
-blocks voltage gated Na channels and enhances availability of GABA
major basic protein
released from eosinophils
etanercept
-soluble receptor decoy protein
-TNF alpha inhibitor
where does lithium act on the kidneys
affects principal cells of the collecting duct
fibrates
inhibit cholesterol 7alpha hydroxylase which catalyzes the rate limiting step in synthesis of bile acids, favors formation of cholesterol stones
beta blockers
prolong the PR interval
slow AV nodal conduction
morphine
renal cleared, so failure increases the sedative effets
blue colored vision
slidenafil, and other PDE5 inhibitors (erectile dysfunction).
Initial vaccination
Generates an early IgM response by short lived plasma cells following a delayed onset longer lasting IgG response due to T cell dependent class switching.
Secondary response is rapid and sustained IgG response with short term muted IgM
