27
Q

Beta-blocker drug effect examples

A

lower hrt rate, reduce force of ventricular contraction

28
Q

Undesirable effects of beta blockers

A

bronchoconstriction and negative metabolic effects on glucose and lipids

29
Q

Is BB lipophilic or non-lipopohilic

A

Non-lipophilic

Does not cross BBB so no cerebral or psychiatric effects

30
Q

What is ISA (Intrinsic Sympathetic Activity)

A

BB drugs turn off sympathetic NS effects by blocking NE/EP at effector receptor sometimes drug looks so much like real thing turns on the receptor - may harm some patients like post MI

31
Q

R BB lipid neutral?

A

May cause adverse lipid effects - raise cholesterol

ISA (Intrinsic) activity may be lipid neutral

32
Q

Does BB have membrane stabilizing effects

A

may be used in management of cardiac arrhythmias

33
Q

What r some toxicities of BB

A

Pulmonary AE - caution with bronchospastic illness: asthma & cold
Dyslipidemia - worsen lipid profile
Diabetes - hypoglycemia & blunting of sym
Depression - crosses BBB may worsen or reactive
Geriatric - my worsen bradyarrhythmias & bradycardia, confusion if crosses BBB
Increase risk of anaphylaxis

34
Q

___ mimic effect of Ach

A

cholinomimetic often called parasympathomimetic

35
Q

Other words for parasympathetic activity

A

Vagal, muscarinic, cholinergic

36
Q

ACh degrading enzyme

A

Acetylcholinesterase

37
Q

When is ACh degraded

A

after it is released by the neuron and interacts with the recepton on the end organ

38
Q

What r some parasympathetic effects (muscarinic)

vagal cardiac, GI, Sialogogue effects, GU, eye

A

Overall - weepy, cools u off, miotic, bradycardic, good GI/GU
vagal cardiac - bradycardic, decreased CO, hypotension
GI - stimulation of peristalisis & secretions
Sialogogue effects - stimulate salivary / eye secretions useful in xerostomia
GU - increased peristalsis of ureter & urinary outflow
Eye - miotic & accommodation for near vision, useful in open angle glaucoma

39
Q

parasympathetic toxicities examples

A

nausea, diarrhea, salivation, bradycardia, hypotension, flushing, bronchoconstriction

40
Q

2 types of drugs

A

direct and indirect

41
Q

____ acting drugs turn on (agonist) muscarinic receptor particularly in GI & GU therapy

A

Direct acting

42
Q

Cholinesterase inhibitor drugs

A

Indirect acting drugs

43
Q

prevent or inhibits action of tissue acetylcholinesterase

A

ChEIs - Cholinesterase inhibitor drugs

44
Q

Prolonged action of endogenous ACh is due to

A

Cholinesterase inhibitor drugs

45
Q

Neuromuscular blocking agents are also called

A

muscle relaxants

46
Q

Muscle relaxants used in anesthesia as ________ drugs

A

anti-nicotinic drugs

47
Q

Muscle relaxants act on ______ at the _______ & affect interaction of somatic motor neuron with nicotinic repeptors of skeletal muscle

A

skeletal muscle

NMJ

48
Q

2 MOA of muscle relaxants / neuromuscular blocking agents

A

Nondepolarizing - antagonist to nicotinic skeletal muscle NMJ receptor and depolarizing agonist at skeletal muscle NMJ

49
Q

Muscle effects of nondepolarizing

A
1st rapid (smaller) muscles are paralyzed then larger muscles & diaphragm
When drug is stopped, diaphragm comes back 1st, then larger muscles, hen smaller
50
Q

Reverse action of muscle relaxers

A

Cholinesterase inhibitors - overcome blockage (raise ACh levels)

51
Q

Depolarizing muscle relaxant

A

Prototype - succinylcholine (Anectine) - only 1 used in USA

52
Q

Depolarizing action

A

Receptor is overwhelmed

1st turned on maximally, then is unable to respond at all bc of fatigue from continued presence of agonist

53
Q

Rapid muscle contractions

A

fasciculations

54
Q

Depolarizing blockade

A

prolonged action at the receptor results in fatigue of nicotinic receptors

55
Q

The length of action for deplorbreizing a muscle agent

A

brief and degraded by plasma cholinesterase (pseudocholinesterase)

56
Q

Some side effects and warning

A

hyperkalemia - nerve damage, burn pts, closed head injury& trauma
Increased intraocular pressure
Post op muscle pain
