RAT20 Flashcards
Methylnaltrexone, Alvimopan, Naloxegol
peripheral mu antagonist; constipation/vomiting from narcotics
Lacosamide
Enhances slow inactivation of Na+ channel, modulates CRMP-2 to prevent aberrant formation of neural cxns; partial seizure prevention, neuropathic pain
Buprenorphine
mu receptor agonist, occupies mu receptor in reward pathway; narcotic abstinence
Lamotrigine
Stabilize inactivated Na+ channel; GTPC + partial and absence seizures, neuropathic pain
Codeine
PARTIAL mu receptor agonist; cough, SE: RNV
Clonidine
a2 agonist, reduces firing of CNS neurons under narcotic influence; narcotic withdrawal SE: sedation
Naloxone
opioid receptor (mu + kappa + delta) antagonist; narcotic overdose
Benzocaine
topical LA that blocks open and inactivated Na+ channel, barely soluble in water; mucosa, skin, patch
Celecoxib
reversible inhibitor, relatively COX2 selective; pain, inflammation, OA, SE: thromboembolitic events
Aspirin
irreversible, non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase; pain, fever, inflammation; SE: bleeding, peptic ulcer
Oxycodone, Hydrocodone
mu receptor agonist; postoperative outpatient analgesia, chronic pain, cough, SE: RNV
Thiopental, Propofol, Etomidate
Increase GABAa receptor fxn, GA (contraindicated in hypovolemia and porphryias/ reduces ICP and causes pain/ stable hemodynamics but causes myoclonus)
Vigabatrin
GABA aminotransferase inhibitor; GTPC + partial seizures
Ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, sulindac, diclofenac
Reversible, non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase; OA, gout attack
Meloxicam
reversible, somewhat COX2 selective inhibitor; pain, inflammation, OA, SE: bleeding, peptic ulcer
