SE of brimonnidine
blurry vision, ocular hyperemia, forgein body sensation, ocular allergic reaction, ocular pruitus
MOA of opioid
opens K channels, close Ca channels to decrease synaptic tranmission
opiod that causes less respiratory depression
butoprphanol
tox of butorphanol
can cause opioid wd sx if taken with full opiod agonist
very weak opioid agonist that inhibits Seotinin and NE reuptake
tramadol
tox of tramadol
decreases seizure threshold
1st line for tonic-clonic sezioures
phenytoin, carbamazepine, valporic acid
1st line for complex and simple seziures
carbamazepine
1st line for absence seuires
ethosuximide
1st line for status epilepticus
phenytoin for prevention, benzo for acute (diazepam/lorezapam)
MOA of phenytoin and carbemazepine
increases Na channel activation
1st line for trigeminal neuralgia
carbamazapine
non seizure uses for gabapentin
used for peripheral neuropathy, neuralgia, migrane prophylaxis, bipolar
MOA of gabapentin
inhibits voltage gated Ca channels
valproic acid MOA
Na channel inactivation, increases GABA
ethosuximide MOA
blocks thalmic t-type Ca channels
tx for eclampsia seizures

tox of valpoic acid
GI distress, rare but fatal heptotox, tremor and weight gain
seziure drug NOT to be used in pregnancy
valproic acid
gabapentin tox
sedation, ataxia
MOA of barbos
facilitate GABA action by increasing duration of Cl-channel opening
contraindications of barbos
porphyria, EtOH use
MOA of benzos
faciliate GABA action by increasing frequency of Cl- channel opening
use of benzos,
anxiety, spasticity, status elipticus, EtOH detox,
