| ranitidine hydrochloride; B | antiulcerative |
| docusate sodium; C | emollient laxative |
| furosemide; C | diuretic, antihypertensive |

| Seconal, Seconal Sodium | secobarbital sodium: sedative-hypnotic, anticonvulsant; drowsiness, lethargy, n/v, exacerbation of porphyria, RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION |
| Sedation | barbiturates (Nembutal, Seconal) |
| benzodiazepines(Valium, Versed) | Hypnotics/Tranquilizing agents |
| Opioids | Analgesic agents (morphine, demerol) |
| Anticholinergics | reduce respiratory tract secretions (atropine, Robinul) |
| XYLOCAINE | LIDOCAINE:anesthetic, local, topical ||local irritation (topical products; ie, erythema, edema) |
| Reversal | Narcan (naloxone) |
| Fentanyl (Sublimaze) ;Droperidol (Inapsine) | Neuroleptanalgesic |
| Ketamine | Dissociative agents |
| Droperidol or diazepam | eliminate psychic phenomena |
| Propoful (Diprivan) | probably the most common IV anesthetic used now; a white liquid that is a short-acting hypnotic and anesthetic; also produces amnesia |
| Propoful (Diprivan) | Produces unconsciousness, then supplemented by inhalation Powerful respiratory depression*Decreases buzzing, dizziness*Can cause skeletal muscular rigidity and respiratory impairment |
| Neuromuscular blockers | muscle relaxers |
| Neuromuscular blockers | Pavulon, succinylcholine (Anectine) |
| Succinylcholine | bradycardia and dysrhythmias (depolarizing) |
| Neuromuscular blockers | do not provide analgesia, but in effect, paralyze the muscles, ncluding muscles of respiration |
| Tagamet, Zantac | Histamine-2 receptor antagonist |
| Dantrolene sodium;sodium bicarbonate | skeletal muscle relaxant; given to relax the muscles and correct acidosis (esp. Malignant Hyperthermia) |
| heparin | HEPARIN SODIUM: anticoagulant*subcutaneous injections should be given in the abdominal fat layer* different site should be used for each subcutaneous injection to prevent the development of a massive hematoma |
| Lovenox | ENOXAPARIN SODIUM: anticoagulant *low molecular weight heparin *by sub-q injection||major hemorrhage *thrombocytopenia *atrial fibrillation, heart failure *pulmonary edema, pneumonia *LFT elevations ||erythema, hematoma, local irritation, pain |
| Plavix | CLOPIDOGREL HYDROGEN SULFATE: platelet aggregation inhibitor, inhibitor of adp-induced aggregation *Prophylaxis against thrombotic events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention *oral drug||thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura *GI ulcer |
| Nebutal | pentobarbital: sedation yet may cause severe respiratory depression, laryngospasm, hypotension; an alkaline (ergo local pain reaction); don't mix with other drugs in syringe or in IV soln/Lines; hepatic/depression, suicidal contraindications |
| Valium | diazepam: relieves anxiety, promotes calmness and sleep; sedative-hynotic/skeletal muscle relaxant; monitor respirations every 5-15mins and before each repeated IV dose; Bradycardia*RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION, phlebitis at injection site |
| Versed | midazolam hydrochloride: preoperative sedative, drug for consious sedation; adjunct to general anesthesia || continuous monitoring of respiratory and cardiac function is required (ie, pulse oximetry); Causes AMNESIA! |
| DURAMORPH/MORPHINE SULFATE EXTRA-FORTE | MORPHINE SULFATE:Analgesia, following major surgery ||allergic reaction*confusion*histamine release*hypotension*respiratory depression; COUGH reflex respiratory ACIDOSIS; aspiration pneumonia;constipation, nausea, urinary retention, vomiting*dizziness |

| Ketamine | increased blood pressure (frequent), tachycardia (frequent) *muscle hyperactivity (frequent) *respiratory depression |
