T/F

30
Q

Warfarin’s anticoagulant effect:
is altered by antibiotics
T/F

A

T

Antibiotics potentiate activity

31
Q

Warfarin’s anticoagulant effect:
is exerted directly on the blood
T/F

A

F

inhibits the synthesis of Vitamin K dependent clotting factors

32
Q

Warfarin’s anticoagulant effect:
is potentiated by barbituates
T/F

A

F

barbituates, oral contraceptives, carbamazepine inhibit activity

33
Q

Warfarin’s anticoagulant effect:
is slow in onset
T/F

34
Q

Atenolol:
acts by reversible competitive blockade of cardiac beta-1 adrenoceptors
T/F

35
Q

Atenolol:
has no effect on B2 adrenoceptors in the lung
T/F

36
Q

Atenolol:
can be used to treat hypertension and tachydysrhythmias
T/F

37
Q

Atenolol:
can mask the signs of hyperglycaemia
T/F

A

T

b2 adrenoceptors normally stimulate hepatic glycogen breakdown & pancreatic release of glucagon, so increased plasma glucose. therefor blocking b2 adrenoceptors lowers plasma glucose

Atenolol:
has positive chronotropic and ionotropic effects on the heart
T/F

A

F

have a -ve chronotropic and -ve ionotropic efect
i.e. decrease heart rate and contractility

44
Q

How are the opioid actions of morphine reversed
