Thorny Lecture Buzz Words Flashcards
Type C ADRs
associated with long term use involves dose accumulation
Drugs for Type 4
b-lactam antiB’s sulfonamides *also latex gloves and poison ivy are examples of these
Why is alcohol (elixir) contraindicated with metronidazole
Metronidazole blocks the bodies ability to metabolize alcohol resulting in high levels of acetaldehyde… leading the headache and facial flushing (asian flush)
What types of changes in DNA are the main focus to determine genetic variability and their corresponding changes in drug response?
SNPs
What foods should be avoided when taking warfarin?
those high in vitamin K
Isoniazid is a drug for TB… idiosyncratic differences in response to this drug makes 3 populations particularly slow metabolizers of isoniazid, potentially making it toxic… what is the enzyme responsible and what are the 3 groups?
enzyme = N-acetyltransferase 1) 80% egyptians are slow 2) 50% caucasians 3) 50% africans
Drugs causing Type 3
b-lactams sulfonamides NSAIDs hydralazine* procainamide* *implies causes a lupus-like reaction
cyp2D6 polymorphisms can have very different effects on metabolism… thus inhibitors of this enzyme can MIMIC a genetic polymorphism… what are examples of inhibitors?
cyp2D6 is inhibited by… fluoxetine, paroxetine, haloperidol, quinidine, ritonavir aka any drug that also requires cyp2D6 metabolism can decrease enzyme available to metabolize drug…
Type 1 Hypersensitivity MOA
Requires initial exposure to result in clonal expansion of B & T cells 2nd exposure results in rapid response.. T-cells activate B-cells which results in high [] of IgE causing mast cell degranulation and bronchospasm. Anaphylaxis is a sever type 1 response Re-challenge is OK after de-sensitization
Type A Adverse Drug Reactions
account for 2/3 of ADRs PREDICTABLE & Dose Dependent (include anaphylactoids) Preventable (propranolol & heart block)
Type D ADRs
delayed effects (dose INdependent) carcinogenicity teratogenicity
Difference between anaphylaxis vs anaphylactoid
Anaphylaxis is IgE-mediated histamine release (due to a severe type 1 hypersensitivity) Anaphylactoid is NON-IgE mediated histamine release
Antibiotics you gotta know frequently cause allergic reactions
b-lactams! (cephalosporins & penicillins) Sulfonamides Vancomycin
What foods should be avoided when taking diuretics?
foods high in salt
*sneaky important to know* Gotta remember these drugs are anaphylactoid… thus are DOSE-related, and have NO cross-reactivity within class (therefore using a different drug within the same class is okay)
1) codeine/morphine 2) Vancomycin 3) sulfites 4) Radiocontrast (also if you can member it… caspofungin)
