Pharmacology 2: Pulmonary, Pain, GI, thyroid, Psych Flashcards
NSAID families
1) Carboxylic Acids (ASA)
2) Proprionic Acids (Ibu and naproxen)
3) Acetic Acid Deriv (Indomethacin, diclofenac, ketorolac)
4) Enorlic Acids (piroxicam, meloxicam)
* *pts may respond to one family and not another)
* *HAVE A REVERSIBLE PLATELET EFFECT**
Who shouldn’t get NSAIDs?
- PREGOS
- pts w/ HTN< HF, CKD, asthma, PUD
NSAID interactions
- use warfarin w/ great caution
- increased risk of GI bleed w/ anti-platelet agents, ETOH, and corticosteroids
- interferes w/ anti platelet effect of ASA (stop all NSAIDs indefinitely in AMI pts…except ASA)
NSAID ADR
- GI effects
- Nephrotoxicity
Mild to Moderate Opiod Agonists
1) Phenanthrenes (codeine, hydrocodone)
2) Phenylheptylamines (removed from market)
3) Phenylpiperidines (diphenoxylate and loperamide = antidiarrheals)
Strong Opiod Agonists
1) Phenanthrenes (morphine, oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydromorphone)
2) Phenylheptylamines (methadone…stay away)
What are H2 blockers good for?
PRN use
H2 Class interactions
- decrease absorption of iron, digoxin etc (these need acidic enviro to be absorbed)
- cimetidine has many potential interactions
Cimetidine specific ADRs
- Drug fever
* *Anti-androgen effects (ED, gynocomastia)
When to take PPI?
30-60 min before 1st meal of the day
PPI interactions
- decrease absorption of iron, digoxin etc
- several inhibit CYP2C19 = clopidogrel interaction
PPI ADRs
- anemia
- fractures
- C. dif
- pneumonia
- acid rebound w/ d/c = taper off
Promethazine MOA
-H1 receptor antagonist & D2 receptor antagonist
aka phenergan
Promethazine indications
- antiemetic (not in kids <2y/o= fatal resp depression)
- pain management adjunct (ie migraine)
Promethazine interactions
- Levodopa (may inhibit anti-parkinson effect)
- QTc prolongation w/ concomitant meds (Type IA & III antiarrhythmics, fluoroquinolones)
ADRs of promethazine
- EPS
- may alter cardiac conduction
Dopamine receptor antagonists (list)
- promethazine (also H1 blocker)
- prochloperazine (compazine) same info as promethazine
- metocloprmide (reglan)
Metocloperamide indications
-prevention and tx of chemo induced emesis, post op N/V
-diabetic gastroparesis
(interactions are the same as promethazine)
Metoclopramide ADRs
Acute dystonia (chronic use or high dose) = Black Box Warning (lots of lawsuits)
Serotonin Antagonists for anti-emesis indications
Ondansetron
- Prevention of chemo induced emesis
- nausea related to irradiation
- prevention and treatment of post op N/V
Interaction of Ondansetron
-fairly clean but be careful w/ other QT PROLONGERS
Zofran in pregnancy
reserved for refractory symptoms or hyperemesis gravid
**1st trimester usel inked to 2x increase risk of congenital heart defects and cleft palate
Antihistamine w/ no sedation
Fexofenadine < loratadine < cetirizine
Metformin MOA
Decreases hepatic glucose production (needs insulin to work**)
Metformin ADRs
- Metallic taste and GI upset (N/V/D) minimized by titrating
- No weight gain
- Lactic acidosis (major surgery, IV contrast)
Sulfonylureas (list) & MOA
1st gen = chlopromide (disulfiram like rxn)
2nd gen = glimepride, glipizide, glyburide=worst for hypoglycemia
MOA = stimulation of insulin secretion
Sulfonylureas ADR
weight gain and hypoglycemia
disulfiram-like reaction w/ ETOH possible (chlorpropamide)
TZDs list and MOA
- pioglitazone, rosiglitazone
- increase insulin sensitivity by acting on adipose, muscle and liver to increase glucose utilization and decrease glucose production need insulin to work
