1
Q

How can physioogical changes of pregnancy alter drug diposition and effect?

A

Physiological changes of pregnancy may alter drug disposition and effect through:

Direct Effects - ex. Placental transfer

Indirect Effects - Changes in placental and uterine function

Even after delivery drugs may affect breastfeeding

Q

Major physiologic changes during pregnancy alter drug disposition:

A

Absorption and Uptake

●Oral absorption and bioavailability not usually affected by pregnancy

●Intestinal motility decreases

●Gastric emptying only delayed during labor or administration of opioids

●Reduced FRC (functional residual capacity)

Q

What are the first lline of drugs for depression?

A

●Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are now the first-line therapy for depression.

These drugs cross the placenta to varying degrees.

As a class they increase the rate of cardiac malformations and risk complications.

Q

What antihypertensive drugs should be avoided?

A

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) should be avoided.

These drugs can cause fetal renal failure and oligohydramnios, which may result in fetal limb contractures, craniofacial deformities, and pulmonary hypoplasia.

22
Q

What is relatively comon in pregnancy?

A

●Maternal asthma is relatively common in pregnancy.

23
Q

What have not been associated with congenital malformations to treat maternal asthma?

A

●B2adrenergic receptor agonist, and corticosteroids have not been associated with congenital malformations.

24
Q

What is the preferred short acting B2 adrenergic receptor agonist?

A

●Albuterol is the preferred short acting B2adrenergic receptor agonist

25
Q

What is the preferred long-acting B2 agrendergic receptor agonist?

A

and salmeterol is the preferred long-acting B2adrenergic receptor agonist

26
Q

Which respiratory drug is not recommended for pregnancy?

A

●Zileuton is not recommended

27
Q

●Pregnancy is a _________ _______ because of relative increases in many coagulation factors and increased venous statis

●Pregnant women have 5 times the normal risk for venous thromboembolism and thrombosis is a significant cause of maternal death

A

●Pregnancy is a hypercoagulable state because of relative increases in many coagulation factors and increased venous statis

●Pregnant women have 5 times the normal risk for venous thromboembolism and thrombosis is a significant cause of maternal death

28
Q

What anticoagulant does not cross the placenta?

A

●Heparins do not cross the placenta

29
Q

What is the preferred over unfractionated heparin (UFH) because it is easy to administer and does not require monitoring during pregnancy?

A

●Low-molecular-weight (LMWH) is the preferred over unfractionated heparin (UFH) because it is easy to administer and does not require monitoring.

30
Q

●LMWH is less likely to cause heparin induced ____________

A

●LMWH is less likely to cause heparin induced thrombocytopenia

31
Q

What is a vitamin K antagonist that can cause an embryopathy,especially in 1st trimester?

A

●Warfarin is a vitamin K antagonist that can cause an embryopathy,especially in 1st trimester

Q

What anti coags cross the placenta and are not recommended?

A

●Rivaroxaban and the thrombin inhibitor dabigatran (Pradaxa) cross the placenta and are not recommended

33
Q

What antiemetic does the ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) recommends with or without doxylamine (antihistamine) as the initial drug of choice?

A

ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) recommends vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) with or without doxylamine (antihistamine) as the initial drug of choice

34
Q

What is a nonsedating dopamine antagonist but has a black box warning because chronic usage can cause tardive dyskinesia?

A

Metoclopramide is a nonsedating dopamine antagonist but has a black box warning because chronic usage can cause tardive dyskinesia

Q

Highly Teratogenic Drugs include Thalidomide, ribavirin, isotretinoin , acitretin, valproate what do you tell women of child bearing age?

A

These drugs so high risk that two form of birth control are recommended when taken

What drugs are strongly contraindicated during breast feeding?

A

45
Q

●Transfer of drugs to breast milk occurs mainly by passive diffusion. What does the rate of passive transfer into breast milk depends on ?

A

●Transfer of drugs to breast milk occurs mainly by passive diffusion. The rate of passive transfer into breast milk depends on the lipid solubility, molecular weight, degree of ionization and protein binding

46
Q

What Drugs generally no concern regarding anesthetic drugs in breast milk?

A

●Anesthetic Drugs generally no concern regarding anesthetic drugs in breast milk

47
Q

What infusion to avoid in breast feeding mom?

A

●Adjunct anesthetic drugs should be considered. Postoperative infusions of ketamine best avoided due to limited safety data

48
Q

What concentrations in infant are unpredictable but may be suffciently high to cause cardiac eefects?

A

●Cardiovascular most first line safe. Amiodarone concentrations in the infant are unpredictable but may be sufficiently high to cause cardiac effects. Iodine released during its metabolism may cause thyroid dysfunction
