Midterm 1 Flashcards
Taladafil
ED. Inhibits PDEi so cGMP not broken down. It has the longest duration of action and not affected by food
Sildenafil
ED. Inhibits PDEi so cGMP not broken down. It can have vision effects as it blocks PDEi5 and can cross react with PEDI6 in retina
SE of PDEI5
Nasal congestion, flushing, HA, loss of blue/green discrimination (sildenafil), and dyspepsia. Caution: cardiovascular, organic nitrates, alpha adrenergic antagonists
Aledronate
bisphosphanate-decrease osteoclastic activity/formation and increase apoptosis. Weakest formula
Ibandronate
Bisphosphanate-decrease osteoclastic formation/activation and increases apoptosis. Available as IV and oral. oral=30 min before food. IV=every 3 months. Must sit up 60 min after taking
Zoldronic Acid
Bisphosphante-decrease osteoclastic formation/activation and increases apoptosis. Available as an IV. q1y
Pt. Ed. with bisphosphantes
Must sit up 30 min. after taking to decrease esphogitis and esphogal ulcers
Raloxifene
SERM. Used in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Increases estrogen. Increases serum total and LDL []. Antagonizes estrogen receptors in breast tissue!
Calcitonin
Used to treat osteoporosis. Administered intranasally. Not as effective as bisphosphanates. Released by thyroid!
Teriparatide
Used to treat high risk osteoporosis (aren’t responding to other treatment). subcutaneous q1d. Recombinant PTH.
diethylpropyl
Anorexiant used to treat obesity. Short term and risk of abuse. caution with MAOi.
Orlistat
lipase inhibitor to treat obesity. Can use for up to 4 years. Must take fat soluble vitamins 2 hours after
Prostaglandins
GPCR. Create PGF2alpha, lukeotriens, and thormboxane. Balanced by different actions of eicosanoids
Prostaglandins
GPCR. Create PGF2alpha, lukeotriens, and thormboxane. Balanced by different actions of eicosanoids
TXA1 VS PGI2
TXA1 (Thromboxane) from platelet cells cause cell aggregation and vasoconstriction. PGI2 (prostacyclin) inhibits platelet aggregation and cause vasodilation.
Misoprostal
Prostaglandin analogue used to protect the stomach lining
Asprin
Irreversible acetylates cyclooxygenase and so platelets must be regenerated. Salcilylates! Baby aspirin=81 mg. Analgesic and antipyretic. Increase lung ventilation. Will also decrease renal blood flow! (prostglandins needed for renal BV dilation) Can’t use for preoperative care! Can cause Reyes syndrome in kids (other salicylates as well) Can also have salicylate intoxication with overdose.
Ibuprofen
Irreversible acetylates cyclooxygenase but not leukotrienes. It is a propionic acid so no risk of reyes.
Indomethacin
Acetic acid NSAID. VERY POTENT!
Sulindac
Acetic acid NSAID with long half life!
Acetominophen
Inhibits prostaglandin synthesis in the CNS. Bad anti-inflam effect but good anti-pyretic and analgesic effect. Have liver toxicity
Treating RA
NSAIDS COX2, Acetominophen, DMARDS, low dose corticosteroids
Methotrexate
DMARDS. Used in cancer. Must take with leucovorin (folic acid). An immunosupprent. Used once a week
Hydroxycholoquine
DMARDS. Used in malaria. Causes ocular toxicity (bull’s eye retinopathy). Safe with prey.
Leucovorin
Used with methotrexate. Essentially a folic acid supplement!
Leflunomide
DMARD. Used if methotrexate or hydroxycholoquine doesn’t work.
omab
murine monoclonal ab (biologics)
ximab
chimeric (biologics)
zumab
humanized monoclonal ab (biologics)
umab
Human monoclonal ab (biologics)
cept
receptor-ab mediated fusion protein (biologics)
Prednisolone
Topical steroid. keton based. Potent so use with severe uveitis or allergic conjunctivitis. strong!
Treating acute gout
Indomethacin or other NSAIDS (not aspirin) or intrarticular administration of glucocortiocoids
Betamethason
Long acting steroid. used for respiratory syndrome in infants
Hydrocortisone
Shorting acting steroid. used with addisons disease.
Treatment of chronic gout
- Probenecid (uricosuric agent) 2. Allopurinal or febuxostat to inhibit synthesis of uric acid 3. colchicine-distrupts granulocytes motility to affected site. Used for recurrent attacks
Probenecid
chronic gout. uricosuric agent- increases excretion of uric acid
Allopurinal
chronic gout. Inhibit uric acid synthesis
febuxostat
chronic gout. inhibit uric acid synthesis
Colchicine
chronic gout. Stops motility of granulocytes to affected area.
Prednisolone
Topical steroid. keton based. Potent so use with severe uveitis or allergic conjunctivitis.
When are topical steroid CI
- Herpes simplex infectious epithelial keratitis 2. acute bacterial infection 3. significant epithelial compromise
How to treat a corneal ulcer?
Treat with AB until corneal integrity is good and then apply steroids.
Why taper steroids?
To allow adrenals to begin producing endogenous steroids again. Can have rebound effect. Taper by 50% once under control.
Ocular topical NSAIDS
Mostly used to treat periopertive care. Topical steroids used largely.
Corneal toxicity
Can occur if NSAIDS are used too often. Prescribe NSAIDS for less then a week.
Diphenhydramine
Used for allergies
Fexofenadine
Used for allergies
