Question | Answer |
---|---|
Parasympatholytic Fx | Mydriasis, cycloplegia, dry eyes, xerostomia + dec gastric secretions, GI + bladder relaxation (high dose), tachycardia (vagus block), no change in BV, bronchodilation (prevention of bronchoconstriction) |
Tropicamide, Homatropine, Cyclopentolate | Retinal examination: mydriatic + cycloplegic fx. DoA 30-90 mins. SEs: blurred near vision, light sensitivity (minimal systemic fx) |
Atropine | Cholinergic OD: SLUDGE, organoph. Coronary care: inc HR w/o changing BP. Surgery: prevent mouth + lung secretions. Retinal exam: mydriatic + cycloplegic fx (days). Atropine flush: vasodilation of skin, inc temp, inhibition of sweating (red, hot, dry skin) |
Ipratropium + Tiotropium | COPD/Asthma: bronchodilation (preventative vs. rescue); inhalation only due to CNS activity. SEs: xerostomia at low doses |
Dicyclomine | Abdominal cramps: GI smooth muscle relaxation decreases peristalsis/cramping. SEs: systemic |
Oxybutynin | Overactive bladder: detrusor relaxation/sphincter contraction. High incidence of SEs: xerostomia*, blurred vision, constipation (M3), drowsiness, DZ, confusion (M1, elderly) |
Tolterodine | Overactive bladder: detrusor relaxation/sphincter contraction. Better tolerated |
Trospium | Overactive bladder: detrusor relaxation/sphincter contraction. 4°N limits CNS SEs |
Solifenacin + Darifenicin | Overactive bladder: detrusor relaxation/sphincter contraction. M3 selectivity reduces CNS SEs |
Nicotine | Stimulates Nn (CNS > ganglia) at low doses; overstimulation -> desensitization due to depolarizing blockade (ANS/CV collapse). Rapidly delivered to brain due to lipophilicity. Inhalation + IV > buccal + transdermal |
Hexamethonium | Ganglionic blocker - dramatic dec in BP with no BRR. SEs: urinary retention, constipation, sexual dysfunc |
Trimethaphan | Ganglionic blocker - dramatic dec in BP with no BRR. SEs: urinary retention, constipation, sexual dysfunc |
Mecamylamine | Ganglionic blocker - dramatic dec in BP with no BRR. SEs: urinary retention, constipation, sexual dysfunc |
