| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| TCA causes | blocks sodium channel so arrhythmia- alpha blocking, antihistamine- sedating, anticholinergic |
| MAOI | potent antidepressant- MOAIA→ phenylzine/Nardil- MAOIB→ for parkinsons-selegline- nonselective- |
| Antipsychotics→ typical | haldol→ parental for agitation |
| Atypical antipsychotic | metabolic syndrome-→ ziprasidone→ QT |
| Benzos | open gaba receptors in the brain→ allow Cl- inside, which is negative and sedates→ dependence and withdrawal→ prefer SSRIs for chronic- metabolized in liver except OTC |
| Management of insomnia | antihistamines short term- d/t tolerance- ideal is ambien- NOT- for long hours use lunesta/eszopiclone |
| ADHD and narcolepsy | non-stimulants ADHD only→ Strattera and LA guanfacine- no blunting/non-scheduled vs stimulant amphetamines and non-amphetamines (scheduled) – modafanil- narcolepsy- amphetamines are used for both except focaline (just ADHD)= emotional blunting |
| Transduction | site for NSAIDs- prevent prostaglandins- nerve endings |
| Transmission phase | local anesthetics for the Na+ channel blocker |
| Modulation phase | opioids (endorphins/enkephalins), GABA, NE, 5HT (TCA) |
| Perception phase | benzos, CBT, imigary |
| Morphine | it’s metabolite is nephrotoxic- methadone and fentanyl is safer |
| Hydrocodone and Vicodin when used with Tylenol or NSAID | schedule II- triplicate needed |
| Opioids work on mu receptor- s/e does not include | miosis and constipation |
| Codeine | potent antitussive, and prodrug and needs 2D6 which some don’t genetically have |
| Meperidine/Demerol | causes mydriasis and seizures d/t anticholinergic |
| Nucynta/tapentadol | lack GI s/e as an opioid (no constipation) |
| Methadone | used for detox |
| NSAIDS, ACETAMINOPHEN and ASA | all of them are analgesic and antipyretics, Tylenol has no anti-inflammatory, and ASA has only anti-platelet effect |
| RA | for s/s use NSAIDS and for the dz we use DMARDs and in between, we use steroids as a bridge |
| DMARDS are classified into further categories of | old traditional synthetic (methotrexate and Leflunomide/arava) newer biologic etanercept and –mab drugs |
| Methotrexate is a | folate antagonist so they may need a supplement and need to avoid Bactrim |
| Gout | acute- NSAIDS, steroids and colchicine and for chronic use allopurinol- decrease synthesis of uric acid by inhibiting enzyme |
| Probenecid | Uricosuric drug not commonly used- ↑ concentration other drugs like PNC and methotrexate |
| Fibromyalgia | least effective is NSAIDS and also cyclobenzaprine-flexeril but helps in some |
| Temporal headaches | give prednisone |
| Migraine | acute- sumitriptan and dihydroergotamine chronic topiramate and for kids Phenergan/promethazine antihistamine |
| Cluster | immitrex/sumitrptan and high flow O2 and chronic is lithium or CCB |
| Tension headache | acute is NSAIDS/Tylenol and chronic is TCA |
| Antiseizure | block the sodium channel- carbamazepine- phenytoin- lamictal- GABA- and for absence- Ethosuximide as CCB- and Felbamate which is glutamate antagonist |
| Carbamazepine | auto induction- and used for trigeminal neuralgia |
| Phenytoin | zero order kinetic- can cause gingival hyperplasia |
| Topiramate is a | carbonic anhydrase inhibitor- nephrotoxic |
| Parkinsons | ↑ DA or antagonize Ach- depends on s/s or pts age |
| If parkinsons pt is young with mild s/s use | benzatropine, Cogentin or trihexyphenidyl |
| If parkinsons pt is 60 with mild s/s you give | amantadine |
| Severe s/s of parkinsons you give | sinamet/levocarbidopa- on/off phenomenon- use ramiprol/pramipraxol before if possible earlier, adjuvant to sinamet is entecapone, tolcapone or selegline |
| Drug management for alzheimers | any drug that ↑Ach (like Ach esterase inhibitors)- donepezil or memantine/namanda |
