Pharmacology Flashcards
beta blocker AE
nightmares, exercisee intolerance
Pilocarpine
Eye drops for glaucoma
ca blocker AE
peripheral oedema, GORD-gastro oesophageal reflux disease
glyceryl trinitrate/nitrates AE
interacts with sildenofil, hypotension
digoxin AE
visual disturbances, hypokalaemia, arrythmic (causes U waves)
ACE inhibitor AE
dry cough- switch to ARB
diuretic AE
hypokalaemia
asthma NO:
B blocker, no NSAIDS
for SVT use:
adenosine
Nitrates adverse effects
headache
hypotension-fainting
tachycardia
flushing
B SCARED
AE for beta blocker
bradycardia
sleep disturbance/NIGHTMARES cold hands asthamatics (bronchoconstriction) rebound angina/HT-hypertension- upon withdrawal EXERCISE INTROLERANCE depression/sedation
uses of beta blocker
angina -prevnetative
hypertension -not 1st line
stable heart failure
arrythymias
digoxin used for
AF (A fib)
HF
K+ channel blockers used for
SVT
ectopic focus
ventricular tachycardia
Beta blockers used for -in arrythimias
Afib/flutter
post MI
A fib-use wat
DIGOXIN, ca blocker, beta blocker
paroxysmal SVT-use wat?
adenosine, verapamil
V fib-use wat?
lignocaine (post MI), beta blcoker/k channel blocker for prevention
bradycardia-use wat?
acute: atropine, adrenaline, isoprenaline
crhonic: stop meds, pacemaker
defibrillation for wat?
ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia
atropine
muscarinic antagonist= increase sympa effects
hypercholesterolemia-use wat>
STATIN (atorvastatin)
resin,
ezetimibe, niacin,
fibrate
hypertriglyceridemia -use wat?
FIBRATE (gemifibrozil)
niacin
fish oil
histamine, bradykinin
CAUSE pain
postaglandin
POTENTIATE pain
blcoks COX 1
low dose aspirin
blcosk COX 2
paracetamol, meloxicam, celeoxib (increase risk of MI)
block both cox 1 and 2
hihg dose aspirin, most NSAIDS
SE of aspirin poisoning/salicylism
tinnitus deafness headache confusion convulsion coma death
management of aspirin poisoning
forced alkaline diuresis, charcoal, haemodialysis
opioids MOA
bind to opioid receptor K+ channel stimulated (open) Ca2+ channel inhibited (close) =hyperpolarise cell =less neurotransmitter =less pain message sent
opioids SE
constipation sedation nausea vomiting addiction
opioids effects
analgesia euphoria/dysphoria resp depression sedation pupil constriction
opioid targets
- spinal cord (substantia gelatinosa)
- pereaqueductal gray (brain)
morphine
severe pain, last 3-6 hrs
pethidine
childbieth
codeine
high dose-mod -severe pain
low dose- cough suppression
destromethorphan
cough suppresion
tramadol
enhance 5-HT transmission
chronic pain
naloxone
opioid antagonist-used for opioid overdose/only work on ppl with hyperalgesia
