A

neural tube defect

21

A

CYP 3A4

24
Q

Carbamazepine (tegretol)’s drug-drug interaction with hormonal birth control increases the risk of this

A

Pregnancy

25
Q

Closely related structurally to carbamazepine (tegretol), this medication has far fewer side effects but is not FDA approved for treatment of bipolar disorder

A

oxcarbamazepine (trileptal)

26
Q

Patients who are getting long term treatment with divalproex (depakote) or carbamazepine (tegretol) need to have regular labs done to check their medication blood levels, platelets/blood count, and this

A

liver function test

27
Q

To decrease the risk of birth defects, a woman on carbemazepine (tegretol) who desires to become pregnant should also take this medication

A

Folate

28
Q

A

While on Lamotrigine, the side effect of a benign rash is relatively common, the risk of a severe rash is about 0.3%, and the risk of this is about 0.02-0.1%

A

Steven’s Johnson Syndrome

30
Q

The drug-drug interaction between lamotrigine (lamictal) & divalproex sodium (depakote) results in lamictal’s blood level doing this

A

Increasing (doubles)

31
Q

Lamotrigine (lamictal), quetiapine (seroquel), lithium, olanzapine/ fluoxetine (symbyax), & latuda (lurasidone) all have this in common regarding their usage in the treatment of pts with bipolar disorder

A

FDA indication to treats bipolar depression

32
Q

Lamotrigine (lamictal), lithium, quetiapine (seroquel), olanzapine (zyprexa) & aripiprazole (abilify) all have this in common regarding their usage in treatment of pts with bipolar disorder

A

FDA indication for use in maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder

33
Q

Lithium, divalproex (depakote), carbamazepine ER (tegretol ER) quetiapine (seroquel), ziprasidone (geodon), & asenapine (saphris) are FDA indicated to treat this phase of bipolar disorder but lamotrigine (lamictal) is not

A

an acute manic episode

34
Q

Lithium, divalproex (depakote), carbamazepine ER (tegretol ER) quetiapine (seroquel), ziprasidone (geodon), & asenapine (saphris) are FDA indicated to treat the active phase of bipolar disorder but this drug is NOT

A

lamotrigine (lamictal)

35

A

weight gain and sedation

36
Q

A

Sodium channels

37
Q

This SGA has FDA indication to treat acute mania or for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder, but of all the SGA’s it has the highest risk for weight gain, elevated lipids, and diabetes

A

olanzapine (zyprexa)

38
Q

This SGA has FDA indication to treat acute mania or for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder, but must be taken with food or > 50% will not be absorbed in the digestive tract

A

ziprasidone (geodon)

39
Q

While this SGA has FDA indication to treat acute mania or for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder, it has a particularly long half life of ~75 hours and takes nearly 2 weeks to reach steady state

A

aripiprazole (abilify)

40
Q

This SGA has FDA indication to treat acute mania or for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder, but at high doses (> 6 mg) it acts more like a FGA and has a much higher rate of EPS side effects

A

risperidone (risperdal)

41
Q

This SGA has FDA indication to treat acute mania & must be taken sublingually because if it is swallowed only ~5% will be bioavailable due to 1st pass liver metabolism

A

asenapine (saphris)

42
Q

These 2 SGA’s, in addition to being FDA indicated to treat acute mania or for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder, are the least likely of the SGA’s to cause weight gain or metabolic syndrome

A

ziprasidone (geodon) & aripiprazole (abilify)

43
Q

This SGA is FDA indicated to treat acute mania or for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder, but should not be used in patient’s with ECG’s that show an QTc > 500 milliseconds

A

ziprasidone (geodon)

44
Q

These three SGA’s are useful and FDA indicated for treating bipolar depression; two by themselves, the other in combination with fluoxetine (prozac)

A
