Toxins and Drug reactions Flashcards

1
Q

Tetrodotoxin

A

Source: pufferfish
Action: highly potent, binds fast VG-Na+ channels in cardiac/nerve tissue (prevent depolarization)
Symptoms: nausea, diarrhea, paresthesias, weakness, dizziness, loss of reflexes
Tx: supportive

Q

Ciguatoxin

A

Source: reef fish (barracuda, snapper, moray eel)
Action: opens Na+ channels (depolarization)
Symptoms: nausea, diarrhea, perioral numbness, hot and cold reversal, bradycardia, heart block, hypotension
Tx: supportive

Q

Histamine (scombroid poisoning)

A

Source: spoiled dark-meat fish (tuna, mahi-mahi, mackerel, bonito)
Action: bacterial histadine carboxylase converts histadine to histamine
*Frequently misdiagnosed as fish allergy
Symptoms: mimics anaphylaxis–acute burning of mouth, flushing of face, erythema, urticaria, itching (may progress to bronchospasm, angioedema, hypotension)
Tx: antihistamines, albuterol/epinephrine if needed

Q

Beers criteria

A

> 50 meds that should be avoided in elderly

  • anticholinergics, antihistamines, antidepressants, benzos, opioids = increased risk of delirium, sedation, falls, constipation, urinary retention
  • A-blocks = increased risk of hypotension
