Pharmacology Flashcards
what metabolizes esters
esterases in the blood
what is the mechanism of action of local anesthetics
prevent generation of nerve impulses by preventing sodium transport into the neuron
what form of LA is absorbed into the neuron
non-ionized form (free base form)
how does inflammed tissue affect LA absorption
is decreases the pH of the tissue which decreases the amount of non-iodized form of the LA meaning less gets into the nerve
Effect of beta blockers on LA concentrations
taking beta blockers slows down heart conduction and blood flow and thus causes LA to be in circulation longer
What is the initial effect of LA in toxic concentration, then second effect at higher levels
first they inhibit inhibitory neurons = convulsions
higher doses inhibit inhibitory and excitatory = CNS depression, coma, death
What does epinephrine initially cause
elevated pulse rate
Graves disease
hyperthyroidism = high metabolic state
Which is the only LA that causes vasocontriction
Cocaine
also causes stimulation of the cerebral cortex
what happens to the ratio of ionized and free base form of a LA if the pH and pKa are the same
there will be 50/50 ionized and free base form
penicillin V vs. G
G is more sensitive to acid degredation and thus usually injected
which penicillin has the best gram negative spectrum
ampicillin
which antibiotics are cross-allergenic with penicillin
cephalosporin
not erythromycin
dicloxacillin
penicillinase resisitant
what antibiotic for pseudomonas infection
extended spectrum carbenicillin

pseudomonas aeruginosa infections
“Antipseudomonal penicillin”
administration: enteral or parenteral
used with aminoglycoside to prevent resistance formation
Sulfonamides
folic acid sytnthesis inhibitor
Bacteriostatic
Use: UTI, RA, Ulcerative colitis, ance, conjuctivitis
used less frequently due to increasing bacterial resistance
SE: Crystalluria, Rashes, Psychosis
