pharmacology Flashcards
warfarin interacts with which drug
sulfa drugs ( i.e. Bacrim (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) by increases warfin=>INR=>bleeding
First pass metabolism
lowers the amt of active drug. ex: to bypass first pass metabolism, insulin must be given as in injection
half life
time it takes for drug concentration to decrease by 50%
area under the curve (AUC)
avg Amt of drug in the blood after dose is given
cyp450 drugs
inhibitors= increase amy of drug= risk for toxicity
macrolids
antifungals (ketoconazole, fluconazole)

lincosamides risk
clindamycin (cleocin)
high risk c-did
digoxin therapeuric range
.5-2.0
dig overdose s/s: visual change (green/yellow), GI, confusion Sever toxicity tx with Digibind.
Check dig level, K, Mag, Ca, creatinine, ekg
warfarin INR
2-3
INR
HCTZ adverse effects
hyperglycemia ( watch out with DM)! sulfa allergy- dont' give elevates triglcerids, LDL elevates uric acid hypokalemia
G: glucose, Hyperglycemia
Uric acid ( gout)
Muscle weakness (HyPOkalemia)
S: sulfa allergy
first line for HN, heart failture
benefit of hctz
Good for osteoporosis
potassium sparing diuretics
black box
alternative to sulfa allergy
triamterene (Dyrenium)
Amiloride ( Midamor)
blackbox: hyPERkalemia
don’t give salt substitutes, ace/arbs
aldosterone antagonist adverse
glactorrhea and hyPERkalmia
black box: risk for cancer
Beta blocker warning
depression, fatigue
NO use in pulmonary pts
blunts hypoglycemic response
ace contraindications
avoid K+ sparing diuretics
avoid K+ supplements
arbs first line for ..
1st line for DM
1st line for Renal disease
ace-I black box
death/injury to fetus during 2nd and 3rd tri
Ca blocker warning
tx for HTN;
