reduce urgency in cystitis; reduce bladder spasms
26
methscopolamine, pirenzepine use
peptic ulcer treatment (reduces secretions)
27
atropine toxicity
dry as a bone, hot as hair, blind as a bat, red as a beet, mad as a hatter, can cause acute angle closure glaucoma, urinary retention in med with BPH, hyperthermia in infants (sympathetic and blocks sweat glands)
28
hexamethonium mechanism

33
epinephrine uses
cardiac arrest, anaphylasis, glaucoma (not narrow angle), hypotention
34
norepinephrine mechanism
sympathetomimetic. (alpha more than beta)
35
norepinephrine uses
hypotension (but decreases renal perfusion)
36
isoproterenol mechanism
sympathetomimetic (beta only)
37
isoproternol uses
rarely for AV block
38
dopamine mechanism
sympathomimetic (dopamine receptors most, then beta then alpha), at high levels, inotropic and chronotropic
39
dopamine uses
shock (increases renal perfusion), heart failure
40
dobutamine
sympathetomimetic (beta1 more than beta 2); inotropic but not chronotropic
41
dobutamine uses
heart failure, cardiac stress testing
42
phenylephrine mechanism
sympathetomimetic; alpha selective (alpha 1 more than alpha 2)
43
phenylephrine uses
pupillary dilation, vasoconstriction, nasal decongestion
44
metaproterenol mechanism
sympathetomimetic, selective beta 2
45
albuterol mechanism
selective beta 2 agonist
46
metaproterenol use
asthma (acute)
47

51
terbutaline use
reduce premature uterine contractions
52
ritodrine mechanism
beta 2 agonist
53
ritodrine use
reduce premature uterine contractions
54
amphetamine mechanism
indirect sympathetomimetic, releases stored catecholamines
55
amphetamine uses
narcolepsy, obesity, ADD
56
ephedrine mechanism
indirects sympathetomimetic, releases stored catecholamines
57
ephedrine use
nasal decongestio, urinary incontinence, hypotension
58
cocaine mechanism
NE reuptake inhibitor
59
cocaine use
vasoconstriction and local anesthesia
60
clonidine mechanism
alpha 2 agonist, decrease adrenergic outflow
