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)
