Pharmacology Flashcards
Aspirin
Prevents thrombosis
Inhibits Cox 1 in platelets (prevents aggregation)
Celecoxib
Selective NSAID given for arthritis if patient has peptic ulcer history
Lidocaine
Local anesthetic given via IV for ventricular paroxysmal arrhythmia
Parkinsons
In Krok = Increased dopamine levels (should be decreased)
Levodopa = synthetic version of dopamine
Atropine SE
Dry mouth
Tachycardia
Blurred vision
Dithylin
Myorelaxant
Used to prevent reflex during tracheotomy
Should last 5-15 mins, if lasts longer = issue with B.esterase (aka pseudocholinoesterase)
Acetylcysteine
Depolymerizes sputum
Used to treat wet cough
Antidote for paracetamol
Antidote for MgS overdose
CaCl
Metronidazole
Candidiasis Chlamydia Lamblia Amoeba (Amoebic dysentry) Trichinosis H. Pylori
Mebendazole
Worm infections
Cotrimoxazole
Toxoplasmosis
Chingarine
Malaria
Unithiol
Heavy metal poisoning
Panagin
Corrects Vit K levels
Methotextrate
Cancers, tumors etc
Naloxone
Used for morphine toxicity
Narcotic analgesic
Promedol
Given to children instead of morphine
Morphine SE
Myotic pupil
Chyne stokes respiration (abnormal breath)
Aminazine
Treatment of alcoholic psychosis/schizophrenia
Droperidol
Used with phentanyl (puts you to sleep) for anesthesia (used for neuroleptanalgesia)
Diazepam
Antipsychotic drug
Activats GABA receptors (puts you to sleep)
Phenobarbital
Induces microoxidation of liver enzymes (Cytochrome P450) = causes haemolysis (e.g. Nasal haemorrhage)
Chronic vs Acute/Severe epilepsy
Chronic = Sodium Valporate Acute/Severe = Phenobarbital
Prednisolone
Medical form of cortisol
SE: Osteoporosis and stomach erosion
What inhibits atropine sulfate SE ?
Neostigmine and proserine
Epinephrine (adrenaline)
Used for anaphylactic shock during surgery
Metoprolol
Selective Beta 1 blocker
Used for arrhythmia, hypertension and angina
Reserpine
Given for hypertension
Glaucine
Non narcotic antitussive for dry cough
Heparin
Anticoagulant
Given parenterally
Purulent inflammation of gums
Candidiasis (aka ulcerative stomatitis)
Treat with metronidazole
Dimedrol SE
Sleepiness
Antihistamine drug
Loratadine
Antihistamine used to treat seasonal allergies (e.g. rhinitis)
No sleepy effect
Amlodipine
Long acting Ca channel blocker
Anti arrhythmic drug
Nitro glycerine MA
Decrease ATP (myocardial oxygen) consumption (Anti anginal drug)
Digoxin
Given for chronic cardiac insufficiency
Can cause material accumulation if self administered (stop taking drug if this occurs)
Corglycon
Given for acute heart failure
Furosemide and Hydrocholorthiazide
Causes forced diuresis
Cant use with digoxin (excretes K+)
