Pharm Randoms Flashcards
first line of care for diabetics with HTN
ace inhibitor
4 times of sympatholytic agents
act within CNS
act on autonomic ganglia
act on post-ganglionic neurons
block peripheral adrenergic receptors
what can clonidine help with
withdrawal symptoms of opioids
trimethaphan will
almost never be used, maybe just by anesthesiologist when patient is knocked out
only given by IV
1st drug approved for early BP lowering
reserpine
B-blockers will not
reduce chance of having a stroke, but a pt with HRN and a fib- 1st line because two birds one stone
labetolol is typically
not a first line drug due to so many side effects
ace inhibitors help with
angioedema
no B2 blockers for
asthma
angina
propanolol
goal BP reduction
25%
best anti HTN drug for pregnancy
clonidine/methyldopa
**treat to avoid pre-eclampsia
ACE inhibitors delay
development of renal failure
positive chronotropic agent
increases HR via SA
positive dromotropic agent
increase conduction in AV node mostly by S and PS
remodeling response is also known as
proliferative response
low preload
crystalloid
blood
bradycardia
atropine
isoproterenol
pacemaker
tachycardia
cadioversion
antiarrhythmic drugs
dec contract
epi dopamine dobutamine calcium glucagon digoxin
excessive vasoconstriction
lisinopril hydralazine prazosin carvedilol nitroglycerin nitropursside
excessive or abnormal contractility
metoprolol
verapamil
atropine sulfate avoid in
side effects
patients with glaucoma,
obstructive uropathy, gi obstruction, ileum, toxic megacolon
hydralazine is not
useful by itseld
aldosterone side effect
hyperkalemia
how to prevent chronic remodeling
block effects of aldoserone on cardiac tissue (spirnolactone)
block stimulation of myocardial beta-1 R SLOWLY/GENTLY
block production of AT II or ARBs
milk thistle
hepatoprotective by stimulating nucleolar polymerase A –>ribosomal protein synthesis
glucosamine
inflammation
osteoarthritis
degeneration of cartilage glycosaminoglycans
adverse- GI, headache, leg pain, edema, itching
GIngko
memory and concentration
improves tolerance of brain tissue to hypoxia by increasing cerebral blood flow
ginseng
overall health, performance, stamina enhancer–immuno stimulation
improves release of ash–CNS stim and inhib
garlic
atherosclerosis, high cholesterol/LDL
inhib HMG-COA reductase–increased fibrinolysis
ginger
anti-emetic, treatment of nausea and committing, motion sickness
interact with with 5ht R
inhibit thromboxane
Echinacea
treat prevent cold and flus
activate phagosomes, tnf, etc
St John’s wort
depression, anxiety
inhibit synaptosomal uptake of 5ht, da, and NE
saw palmetto
benign prostatic hypertrophy, inhalammation
reduce uptake of testosterone and DHT
Soy
relief of symptoms and pre and post- menopause women
interact with estogren R
herb-drug interactions
cytochrome P450 enzymes
UGTs
P-gp
cheese reaction
tyramine in cheese, metabolized by MAO, if taking MAO tyramine builds up and can potentiate sump CV activity by releasing NA–>HTN response
TH2
associated with asthma
cellular action B2 agonist
B2 agonist binds R–>GPCR–>increase camp–>protein kinase–>reduces ca2+–>relaxes smooth muscle
3 other properties of B2 agonists
enhance mucociliary clearance
decrease microvascular permeability
suppress mediator release from inflame cells
Gemfibrozil
elevates liver function tests, do not use with statin
aspirin and plavix togehter
bruise everywhere
NO
nitric oxide
N2O
nitrous oxide
NO2
nitrite
NO2
nitrate
antiarrhythmics
significantly prolong depolarization (QT interval) and therefore can result in tornado de pointe as a form of pro-arrhthmia
only anti arrhythmic drug that proves mortality is
BETA BLOCKER
what is the best thing to use fir an arrhythmia
ICD
which class prolongs QT most
III and Ia
What antiarr has been shown o reduce mortality post MI?
propanolol
chronotropic agents
increase in HR via SA
positive dromotrophic agents
increase in conduction in AV node mostly innervated by S and PS
total cholesterol levels
desirable 240
LDL levels
desirable 160
HDL levels
desirable >50
borderline 40-50
bad <40
never use these drugs
Beta antg
cholinergic agonist
adenosine
aspirin and nsaids
ace inhibitors and asthma
dry cough
aminiosterioids
pancuronium
veruronium
rocuronium
benzylisoquinolones
cistracurium
d-tubocranine
Pancuronium
renal clearance
vecuronium
hepatic clearance
rocuronium
hepatic cleareance
cisatracurium
inactivated by plasmaChE
