Pharmacology Midterm 2 CNS III

QuestionAnswer
Clozapine MOA (atypical antipsychotic) Blocks receptors for dopamine acetylcholine, histamine, norepinepherine &Serotonin. Therapeutic effects due to week dopamine block & strong seratonin block
Clozapine IND Schizophrenia Bipolar (manic phase)
Clozapine DI meds that cause bone marrow suppression
Clozapine AE agranulocytosis (decrease in granulocyte/WBC count leading to an increase in infection) seizures diabetes weight gain sedation orthostatic hypotension
Elavil MOA Tricyclic Antidepressant blocks the neuronal reuptake of seratonin and norepinepherine causing an increase in the effects of neurotransmitters long 1/2 life takes 1-2 mo to have full effect
Elavil IND Depression Bipolar disorder
Elavil AE Sedation orthostatic hypotension anticholinergic effects cardiac toxicity risk of toxicity
Elavil Toxicity death due to the cardiac toxicity in conjunction with anticholinergic effects
Elavil DI MAOI (severe hypertension) direct acting sympathomimetics indirect acting sympathomimetics anticholinergics CNS depressants
Prozac MOA Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) selective inhibition of seratonin reuptake leading to an increase in concentrationo of seratonin
Prozac IND depression OCD bulimia premenstrual disorder unlabled use: anxiety, alcohol withdraw, ADHD
Prozac AE nausea headache CNS stimulation (nervousness, insomnia, anxiety sexual disfunction weight gain seratonin syndrome withdraw
Prozac DI MAOI warfarin tricyclic antidepressants lithium
MAOI MOA Inhibit the inactivation of norepinepherine and seratonin results in an increased amount of neurotransmitters resulting in intensified effects of Neurotransmitters
MAOI IND reserved for people who don't respond to the safer drugs depression bulimia OCD panic attacks
MAOI AE CNS stimulatin (agitation, anxiety, manic episodes) orthostatic hypotension *hypertensive chrisis from dietary tryamine*
MAOI DI Shouldn't take any meds with out Dr. approval. Tricyclic Antidepressants Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors antihypertensives demerol indirect acting sympathomimetics
Wellbutrin MOA (atypical antidepressant) unclear MOA blocks the dopamine uptake stimulant actions similar in structure to amphetamines
Wellbutrin IND depression smoking cessaitation
Wellbutrin AE agitation headache weight loss insomnia seizures
Wellbutrin DI MAOI
Lithium MOA (mood stablizer) unknown MOA controls acute manic episodes prevents recurrence of mania or depression short 1/2 life (given in divided doses 3-4x/day
Lithium IND Bipolar disorder
Lithium AE GI disturbances hand tremor polyuria renal toxicity enlarged thyroid gland hypothyroidism
Lithium Toxicity (narrow theraputic range) confusion sedation increase hand tremors blurred vision EKG changes seizures
Lithium DI diuretics non-steroidal anti-inflammatory anticholinergics
Benzodiazepine MOA (valium, Xanax Atavan) quick acting qotientates actions of GABA increase action of GABA leading to decreased anxiety, sedation , muscle relaxation
Benzodiazepine IND anxiety insomnia induce general anesthesia seizure disorders muscle spasms alcohol withdraw
Benzodiazepine AE CNS depression respiratory depression paradoxical reactions (used to decrease anxiety but it ends up increasing anxiety) teratogenic potential for abuse physical dependance
Benzodiazepine Toxicity treat with flumazenil (Romazicon) reverses seditative effects of drug (administered IV)
Benzodiazepine DI CNS Depressants
Buspar MOA (long term intervention) unknown MOA not a CNS depressant -no sedation -no abuse/dependance -doesn't interact with CNS depressants takes a while to reach full effects (2-4 weeks)
Buspar AE dizziness lightheadedness nausea
Buspar DI grapefruit juice (increases drug levels)
Ambian MOA potentates the actions of GABA causes sedation (doesn't help with muscle spasms or anxiety)
Ambian IND insomnia (helps to fall asleep and stay asleep)
Ambian AE daytime drowsiness dizziness
Ambian DI CNS depressants
Ritalin MOA CNS stimulant promotes release of norepinepherine and dopamine theraputic effects: -improved focus -attention -better impulse control -decreased hyperactivity
Ritalin IND narcolepsy ADHD
Ritalin AE insomnia growth suppression
Thorzaine MOA (low potency antipsychotic) blocks receptors for: -dopamine -histamine -acetylcholine -norepinepherine *theraputic effects are a result of dopamine blockage*
Thorazine IND Schizophrenia (specifically positive symptoms) Bipolar disease (manic phase)
Thorazine AE Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) -acute distonia (muscle spasms) -parkinsonism -akathisia -tardive diskinisia anticholinergic effects sedation orthostatic hypotension neuroendocrine effects seizures
Thorzaine DI anticholinergics CNS depressants levadopa
Haldol AE (high potency anti-psychotic) increased extrapyramidal symptoms neuroendocrine effects disrythmias *no sedation, anticholinergic effects or hypotension
