A
  • alpha agonst/antag
  • etoh - more urine production
  • ccbs - smooth muscle relaxers
  • duretics - increase urine productiion
  • sedative/hypotic - less aware of need to urinate
  • anticholinergics
    - narcs
    - antipsch

Q

By what mechanism do anticholinergic/antimuscarinic drugs cause confusion/delirium/dementia?

Q

M3 speicifc meds for treatment of OAB

A
  • darifenacin
  • solifenacin

both have CYP3A4 DDI; M3 specific in theory means less ADR

  • URI
  • UTI
  • diarrhea OR consptation
  • bronchtis
  • naspharyngitis

NO BP

dose reduce for severe hepatic or renal dysfunction

22
Q

treatment for nocturia

A

desmopressin intranasal (vasopressin/antidiuretic hromone)

butlike don’t actually use this in geriatric population lol

23
Q

desmopressin populations to avoid in

A
  • avoid:
    - fludi retention
    - hyponatremia
    - nasal conditions
  • contraindicated:
    - hyponatremia
    - polydipsia
    - conmittant use of loop diuretics, systemic or inhaled glucocorticoids
    - eGFR < 50
    - SIADH
    - diseases causing electrolyte abnormality
    - HF II-IV
    - uncontrlled HTN
24
Q

desmopressin monnitoring

A

Na levels

25
Q

desmopressin dose

A
  • 50-65: 1.66mg in either nostril
  • 65+: 0.83 in either nostril (can increase after 1 week if Na levels wNL)
26
Q

botox and OAB

A
  • IM injectio to detrusor during cystoscopy
  • better efficac than meds but can go overboard and just shut down the bladder lol

can be used in adults with inadequate response or intolerance tto anticholinergic med

27
Q

alpha blocker MOA in BPH

A

reduce tone in bladder → urine can flow through urethra

28
Q

alpha blockers

list the agents

A
  • nonspecific: terazosi, doxazosin, prazosin
  • alpha 1a specific: sildosin, alfuzosin, tamsulosin
29
Q

alfuzosin admin

A

take with food, 50% decrease in absorption if taken on empty stomach

30
Q

alpha (nonselective) blockers ADR

A
  • hypotension
  • dizziness
  • blurred vision
  • drowsiness
  • astenia
31
Q

alpha 1a selective blockers ADR

A
  • RARELY hypotnsion, vertigo, drowsiness (dt alpha 1 specificity)
  • floppy iris syndrome
  • ejaculatory dysfunction
32
Q

alpha 1a selective blockers DDI

A

they are metabolized by CYP (alfuzosin is CYP3A4)

33
Q

5-alpha reductase inhibition (5aRI) MOA in BPH

A

reduces an enlarged prostate (3-6 month for symptom improvement (atrophies cells)

34
Q

5alpha reductace inhibitors

A
  • finasteride: inhibit type II 5-alpha-1 reductase, decrease DHT
  • dutasteriode: selective inhibitor of type I and II 5-alpha reductase; more potent
35
Q

PDE5 inhibitor MOA in BPH

A

unclear, but ptentially smooth muscle relaxation of prostate, bladder, urethra

study shows that alfuzosin + sildenafil may be better tahn monotherapy

36
Q

drrugs to avoid in bph

A
  • Saw palmetto: not effective
  • anticholinergics: reduce effect of detrusor contracton and bph pts need biggg push
    • TCAs
    • diphenhydramine
    • disopyramide
    • pseudoephedrine
    • ephedrine
37
Q

Jalyn is a combo medication of:

A

dutasteride and tamsulosin

can be good in pts with reallllly enlarged prostate

38
Q

ENTADFI is a combo medicatio of

A

finasteride and tadalafil

39
Q

BPH treatment guideliens

A
  1. alpha blocker (if conmittant ED, can start with PDE5)
  2. if lack of response to alpha blocker or cannot tolerate:
    - consider PDE5 trial
    - if prstate > 30 cc, consider addition of 5aRI
    - surgical options
  3. if indadequate reponse to PDE5 trial or additio of 5aRI, consider surgery
40
Q

drugs associated with ed

A
  • diuretics: TZDs and spironolactone

  • anticholinergic: dispyramide, anticonvulsants
  • recreational drugs: etoh, cocaine
  • opioids
  • nsaids
41
Q

PDE5 inhibitor MOA in ED

A

smooth musle relaxatio -> inflow of blood

doesn’t cause an erectio, prevents if from going away

vardenafil at 60 min

45

PDE5 iwht fastest osnet

A

avanafil: 15 min

48
Q

A
  • GERD dt lower esophageal sphincter relaxation
  • hypotension
