Drug
MOA & ADRs
Glycosides MOA   MOA: inhibits the Na-K pump & thus as Na levels rise also inhibits the Na-Ca pump also allowing Ca to rise for aiding in increasing CO (used for severe LV systolic dysfx like CHF), derived from the foxglove plant  
🗑
Glycosides ADRs (note enhanced by hypoK, alkalosis, hypoxia & hypothyroidism)   ADRs: therapeutic index low, need regular monitoring serum levels, 1st indications of toxicity change in vision, arrhythmias & AV- due 2 hypokalemia (b careful w/ use of thiazides/loop diuretics), nausea, ab pain, fatigue, confusion, color misperception  
🗑
Digitoxin   MOA: glycoside that inhibits Na/K ATPase also allowing for increase in Na & Ca concs, ADRs: cant be used in those w/ liver probs since relies on liver for metabolism, long duration of action  
🗑
Dobutamine   MOA: beta-1 agonist that activate adenyl cyclase -> cAMP -> protein kinase -> phosphorylate Ca channels that increases Ca; ADRs: less tachy or peripheral side effects than isoproterenol or epi  
🗑
Dopamine   MOA: beta-1 agonist that activate adenyl cyclase -> cAMP -> protein kinase -> phosphorylate Ca channels that increases Ca, enhances renal flow thus used for tx of shock; ADRs: less tachy or peripheral side effects than isoproterenol or epi  
🗑
Inamrinone   MOA: Phosphodiesterase - that prevents the catabolism of cAMP in order to prolong action of protein kinase thus resulting in increase in intracellular Ca, *Note used to be called AMRINONE*; ADRs: thrombocytopenia  
🗑
Milrinone   MOA: Phosphodiesterase - that prevents the catabolism of cAMP in order to prolong action of protein kinase thus resulting in increase in intracellular Ca, doesnt affect platelets  
🗑
Digoxin   MOA: glycoside -Na/K ATPase decrease exchange levels in the Na/Ca thus result in higher levels of Ca, short duration of action; ADRs: low therapeutic index, excreted unchanged in urine  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
