Local Hormones
Medication Review
| Definition | Answer |
|---|---|
| Local Hormones | synthesized in various tissue types, released and act locally, exert profound changes in the body |
| Systemic Hormones | Produced by one specific tissue (gland), act throughout the body and have a regulatory effect |
| Histamine | Local hormone found in all tissues of the body |
| Prostaglandins | A group of local hormones that cause a variety of local reactions, NSAID ulcer prevention and abortion |
| Antihistamines Type I | Treatment of allergies, rashes, and hay fever, motion sickness, nausea, and dizziness; inhibits the action of histamines |
| Sedating Antihistamines | Type I: competitively antagonize histamine at the H1 receptor, they cross the blood brain barrier making them a CNS drug |
| Non-sedating Antihistamines | Type I: Do not cross the blood brain barrier and no sedation |
| Proton Pump Inhibitors | a group of drugs whose main action is a long lasting reduction of gastric acid production and they are the most potent inhibitors of acid secretion available today |
| Prostaglandin Antagonists | Inhibit or reverse the actions of prostaglandins by blocking Cox-1 and Cox-2 enzymes |
| Androgens | Male hormones, which are secreted by the testes, are responsible for the characteristic sexual changes in men |
| Estrogens | Female hormones, which are secreted by the ovaries, are responsible for the development of female sexual characteristics |
| Oral Contraceptives | Federal Law mandates the package inserts by dispensed with birth control pills |
| Progestins | Female hormones secreted by the corpus luteum also cause growth of mammary ducts and prevention of uterine bleeding during pregnancy |
| Emergency Contraceptive Pills | "morning after pill" - drugs that act both to prevent ovulation or fertilization and possibly post-fertilization implantation of an embryo |
| Corticosteroids | Hormones secreted by the adrenal gland |
| Insulin | Hormone produced by the pancreas by the Beta cells, to replace in patients with Type I or Type II diabetes |
| Type I (IDDM) | Patient who does not produce any insulin and requires daily insulin injections for survival |
| Type II (NIDDM) | Patient who produces some insulin, but generally not enough to allow proper glucose utilization |
| Oral Hypoglycemics | Manage patients with type II diabetes, promotes insulin to release from the beta cells of the pancreas |
| Meglitinides | promote insulin release from the beta cells of the pancreas |
| Biguanides | reduces hepatic glucose output and increase uptake of glucose by the skeletal muscle |
| Thiazolidinediones | promote better use of glucose by the cells |
| Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors | "diabetes pills", slow the digestion of starch in the small intestine so that glucose from the starch of the meal enters the bloodstream more slowly, and can be matched more effectively by an impaired insulin response or sensitivity |
| DPP-4 inhibitors | their mechanism of action is thought to result from decreased glucagon release which inceases insulin secretion, decreases gastric emptying, and decreases blood glucose levels |
| Oxytocics | Hormones secreted by the pituitary, which stimulate the contraction of uterine smooth muscle |
| Thyroid Hormones | Regulate the rate of many physiological processes including protein synthesis, glucose and carbohydrate metabolism, energy storage, lipid metabolism, nervous system development and body temperature regulation |
| Anti-Thyroid Hormones | To treat over secretion of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism) |
| -Tidine | Antihistamines end in |
| Side Effect of PPI's | Causes people to not be able properly digest and absorb food properly |
| Methods of birth Control | Depo Shot, NuvaRing, Yasmin, Lo-Ovral, Ovcon |
| 100 Units Per ml | Insulin contains: |
| Hypoglycemia | Condition when your blood sugar is too low |
| Hyperglycemia | Condition when your blood sugar is too high |
| Antihistamines Type II | competitive blockers of histamine at the H2 Receptors, those in the stomach used to treat ulcers and reflux disease and heartburn |
| Gastroesophageal reflux disease | GORD/GERD |
| Long term use of PPI's | Causes people to not be able to properly digest and absorb food |
| NSAID | Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug |
| -prazole | Proton Pump Inhibitors end in |
| Humalog, Lantus, Novolog, Levemir | Different types of Insulin |
