Pharmacology review Flashcards
-done, -one
opiods
-pril
ace inhibitor & antihypertensive
-olol
beta blocker & antihypertensive
-ide, -semide
loop diuretics & antihypertensive
-statin
antihyperlipidemics
antidote for opioids & narcotics
naloxone
antidote for warfarin
vitamin K
antidote for heparin
protamine sulfate
antidote for digoxin
digifab
antidote for insulin
glucagon
antidote for aspirin and tricyclic antidepressants
sodium bicarbonate
use for ace inhibitor (-pril)
HTN, HF, MI
side effects for ace inhibitor (-pril)
A for angioedema
C for cough (dry)
E for elected K+ (can cause dysrhythmias)
use for clonidine, methyldopa, and guanfacine
HTN, withdrawal, anxiety
side effects of clonidine, methyldopa, and guanfacine
6 D’s
decreased HR, decreased BP, dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, depression of CNS
use of beta blockers (-olol)
HTN, Tach/SVT, stable angina, chronic & compensated HF, dysrhythmias, anxiety
side effects of beta blockers (-olol)
bradycardia, breathing problems (think asthma - constriction & spasms), bad for HF pt’s, masks s&s of hypoglycemia, hypotension
use of calcium channel blockers (-dipine, verapamil, & diltiazem)
HTN, stable angina, dysrhythmias
side effects of calcium channel blockers (-dipine, verapamil, & diltiazem)
ortho HPTN, flushing, headache, peripheral edema
use of heparin & warfarin
anticoagulant
heparin route
IV or SubQ (NOT ORALLY)
warfarin route
oral (PO)
which anticoagulant is safe for pregnancy? warfarin or heparin?
warfarin
heparin onset
minutes; heparin happens fast
warfarin onset
24-72 hours (slow); warfarin - you have to wait
how is heparin monitored
aPTT (47-70 seconds, how long for blood to clot)
how is warfarin monitored
PT/INR (2-3)
use of -statins
antihyperlipidemia
use of nitrates (nitro-, -nitra)
tx or prevention of angina or acute coronary syndrome
side effects of nitrates (nitro-, -nitra)
headache, hot/flushed face, HPTN
use of proton pump inhibitors (-prazole)
prevent & tx ulcers
