methyldopa
nifedipine
thiazide diuretics

18
Q

thiazide diuretics ADR

A

hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis
hyperglycemia
hyperlipidemia
hyponatremia

19
Q

Tx of GDB

A

insulin

lispro and aspart

20
Q

tocolytics

A

beta agonists
magnesium sulfate
CaCh blockers
COX inhibitors

21
Q

beta agonists

A

tachyphylaxis
ritodrine most commonly used
many adverse effects - tachy, low BP, bronchial relaxation

22
Q

magnesium sulfate

A

unknown MOA- possibly interferes with mysoin light-chain kinase
few adverse effects (diaphoresis and flushing)
CI in MG

23
Q

CCBs

A

questionable safety

24
Q

COX inhibitors

A

Indomethacin most commonly used
reduced PGs
primary fetal concerns is constriction of ductus arteriosus and oligohydramnios

25
Q

induction of labor

A

oxytocin

vaginal PGs

26
Q

oxytocin MOA

A

sitmulates uterine mm contraction via Gq -> stimualtes release of PGs and leukotrienes
also causes milk ejection

27
Q

opioids

A

does cross placenta dn decreased FHR and respirations

28
Q

neuroaxial analgesics

A

spinals and epidurals
