Parasympathomimetic/ Cholinergic Agonist Flashcards
Drugs acting on both nicotinic and M receptor
Ach, carbachol
Only muscarinic drugs
Muscarine
Pilocarpine
Bethanecol
Only Nicotinic drugs
Nicotine Succinylcholine (over stimulation-constant depolarisation- unresponsiveness)
AchI drugs
Neostigmine
Pyridostigmine
Edrophonium
Physostigmine(tertiary anime-naturally occurring)
Drugs that block nicotinic receptors in skeletal muscles
Tubocurarine
Other curare drugs
Block N receipts at ganglion
Trimethapan
Ach rarely used clinical why
- Oral administration- rapid hydrolysis
2. IV administration- rapid metabolism
treatment for postop/ neurogeni ileus and urinary retention
cholinergic drugs: bethanechol, carbachol
AchE inhibitors: neostigmine, pyridostigmine
used to diagnose type of myastina gravis and its features
small dose of Endophonium used to distinguish between chlinergic crisis and myastinic crisis (Tensilon Test)
- alcohol, quatinery amine
- do not enter CNS
- active for 5-15min only
Tx for MG
AchE inhi: pyridostigmine(mostly used), neostigmine
tx for glaucoma
cholinergic drug: pilocarpine(open-angled), carbachol
AchEI: physostigmine, echothiopate (topical only)
tx xerostmia
bethanechol
Bezold-Jerisch reflex
caused by high dose of nicotine
3 signs: hypotension, braycardia, nausea
lethal dose of nicotine
60mg
AchEI used in tx of alzheimer
drugs that can pass through BBB:
- donepezil
- tacrine
- revastigmine
- galatamine
ecothiopate
organophosphate
irreversible AchEI
release slowly from AchE- active for 2-7 days
malathion
organophsphate
not harmful- degraded by enzymes in mamals
used as ectoparasiticide in clinical setting
