Pharmacology cards for our ATI exam
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Levothyroxine | Thyroid hormone - treats thyroid disorders |
| Lisinopril | ACE inhibitor - widens blood vessels to allow blood to flow more freely |
| Atorvastatin | HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, or "statins." - reduces levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL). |
| Metformin | Oral antihyperglycemic - Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. |
| Simvastatin | HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, or "statins." - reduces levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL). |
| Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen | Semi-synthetic opioid agonist - therapeutic action of hydrocodone is analgesia. Hydrocodone produces respiratory depression by direct action on brain stem respiratory centers. |
| Metoprolol | β-Adrenergic blocking agents (β-blockers) - Management of hypertension, slows pulse, lessens force, relaxes blood vessels |
| Amlodipine | Calcium channel blocker - dilates (widens) blood vessels and improves blood flow |
| Omeprazole | Proton pump inhibitors - decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach |
| Albuterol | Bronchodilator - relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs |
