Week 6 (Exam 2) Flashcards
Black box warning for Isoniazid
Fatal Hepatitis
Anti-cholinergic drugs for bronchospasm
Atropine: temporary blockade
Ipratropium: Maintenance of asthma
Tiotropium: Long term maintenance
Aclidinium: Long term maintenance
Drug interactions of Peramivir
Live Flu Vaccine
Zafirlukast
Leukotriene Inhibitor
Selective and Competitive to D4 and E4 (slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis)
Prophylaxis and chronic treatment of asthma
Causes Hepatotoxicity
Tamiflu and the Flu Vaccine
Don’t give live flu vaccine (intranasal) within 2 weeks before or 48 hours after Tamiflu is given (it can interfere with the vaccines effectiveness)
Ciclesonide
ICS
Maintenance treatment for asthma prophylaxis over 12
Not indicated for acute bronchospasm, candida
Black Box Warnings associated with Micafungin
Altered hepatocytes and hepatocellular tumors after a treatment period of or above 3 months in rats
(this is in Europe, not US)
Beclomethason
Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) Deadly Adrenal insufficiency can happen when transferred onto it
Neuraminidase Inhibitor MOA
Completely inhibit viral neuraminidase enzymes
Prevents viral reproduction by budding from host cell
(the enzyme cleaves Sialic Acid on Glycoproteins on the surface of human cells that helps new visions to exit)
Flucytosine Combo
Usually with Liposomal Amphotericin B for Cryptococcal meningitis
Indications for methotrexate
Neoplastic Disease
Psoriasis
RA
Interstitial Lung Dz
Warnings and precautions of Amantadine
OD causes all kinds of toxicities
Cardiac Dysfunction
Don’t immediately discontinue if you have Parkinson’s
Suicide attempts, exacerbation of mental problems
History of Epilepsy, increased seizures
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
Renal Disease (accumulates in plasma w/ decreased fxn)
Parkinsons have increased changes of Melanoma
Metabolism of Voriconazole
Interaction w/ CYP2C19 (and CYP2C9, CYP3A4)
Needs dose adaptation for cases of Renal Impairment
Peramivir MOA
IV Neuraminidase Inhibitor
Treats patients 18+ symptomatic no more than 2 days
Who should take Baloxavir?
People 12+ and symptomatic no more than 2 days
Fluconazole MOA
Interrupts conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol
Via binding to fungal CYP450, membrane disruption
Black Box warning associated with Azathioprine
Malignancy
Nintedanib
Kinase inhibitor for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Co-Administration of P-gp and CYP3A4 may increase Nintedanib exposure
Adverse Effects of Amphotericin B
CNS (headache chills fever)
Nephrotoxic (esp. deoxycholate version)
Exercise Caution (OD causes cardiac arrest)
MOA of Baloxavir
Polymerase Acidic Endonuclease Inhibitor (inhibits virus mRNA replication, transcription)
Treats Acute Uncomplicated Influenza
Prednisone
OCS, anti-inflammatory
Also used for certain endocrine conditions
May lead to HPA suppression
Methylxanthines
Treats airway obstructions (asthma, emphysema, CB)
Theophylline, Theobromine (in chocolate), Caffeine
Dosing of Atropine and CAD
2 - 3mg total
Methylxanthine MOA
SM relaxation
Suppression of response of the airway to stimulus
Echinocandins
Cyclic Lipopeptides with N-Linked Acyl Lipid side chain
Capsofungin, Micafungin, Anidulafungin
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu)
Treats Influenza A and B if given within 48 Hours
Prophylaxis
Neuraminidase Inhibitor
When to take Zanamivir
Dont do vaccine within two weeks before or 48 hours after using this medicine
Does not prevent a bacterial infection that starts flu-like
Fluticasone
ICS
Maintenance treatment of asthma prophylaxis over 4
Budesonide
ICS
Maintenance treatment for asthma prophylaxis over 6
Milk protein and status asthmaticus is contraindicated
Adverse Effects of Voriconazole
Visual Disturbances, Fever, Etc Both adults and kids
Indacaterol and Vilanterol
LABA
Used to treat breathing problems from COPD
How does Amantadine work?
We don’t know, but it does increase DA
Interferes with function of transmembrane domain of viral M2 protein
Thats why it treats Parkinsons and the flu
Why avoid Peramivir during pregnancy?
Can cause fetal reduced renal papilla and dilated ureters
Who is Tamiflu not recommended for?
Patients with End Stage Renal Disease
Chronic Kidney Disease
Younger than 2 weeks old, or prevent in <1 year old
Montelukast
Leukotriene Inhibitor
Inhibits LTD4 at the CysLT1 receptor without agonist activity
Treats Allergies and prevents asthma attacks
