Q

Tx for overstimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors?

A

2PAM
2PAM competes with organophosphates which inhibit Achetylcholinesterase) and dissociated them.
Atropine and glycopyrolate only work at muscarinic receptor.
No pure nicotine receptor inhibitor.

27
Q

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA, Actigall)

A

UDCA is secreted into bile, it becomes protonated, leaving one HCO3 ion.
Protonated UDCA becomes reabsorbed into hepatocytes resulting in the net secretion of one HCO3 ion which draw water into the bile.
