Pharm-II
Question | Answer |
---|---|
When does incidence of ED increase | in men over 50-50 yo and goes to 40% 60-69% |
Med conditions associated with ED | HTN, Arterosclerosis, hyperlipedimia, DM, Psych d/o |
Meds that cause erectile dysfunction | anticholinergic agents, Dopamine, agonists, estrogents, antianderogens, CNS depressants, agents decrease penile blood floow (anti HTN drugs) |
In general, how do we approach ED tx | identify and reverse underlying cause |
Nonparhm tx to ED | lifestyle modifications (lipids), psychotherapy, vacuume erection device, surgical tx (penile prosthesis) |
What is the main drug of choice for ED | Phosphodiesterase inhibitors |
MOA of PDE5 | inhibits the breakdown of cGMP which prolongs smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation) |
3 examples of PDE5 | sildenafil, vardenafil, tadalafil (all substrate of CYP systems) |
Which PDE5i works the fastest? | sildenafil (30-60m) |
Which drug is a weak CYP inhibitor | sidenifil |
Which is the longer acting PDEi and when do we use it | Tadalafil (Cialis) works up to 36 hours |
Dosing for tadlafil | 10mg prior to sex or 2.5mg qday for pts who take the other >2/week |
AE’s PDEi | HA, facial flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion dizzy, abnl vision |
What is a prolonged erection and priapism | >4hrs, >6hrs |
What are some serious but rare SE’s | priapism, and anterior ischemia of the optic neropathy |
With sildenafil-assicaited deaths, what did most pts die from? | MI, or CA, CV |
What is CI with using PDEs | nitrate use, and high CV risk |
What drugs are CI with PDEs | nitrates, alpha blockers, CYP inhibitors |
What is the OTHER drug that is used for ED | alprostadil: stimulates adenyl cyclase: ↑production of cAMP→vasodialation |
Two types of dosing | caverjet: intracavernosa: 5-10mins before, Muse (intraurethral) |
AE’s of alprostadil | local pain, syncope, dizzy, priapism, fibrotic rxn in injection site (caverjet) |
Algorithym for ED | organic: PDEi→intracavernosal alprostadil→intraurethral alprostadil→penile prosthesis |
Three mechanisms for BPH | excess testosterone, excessive a-adrenergic tone, bladder detrusor muscle instability |
Drugs that ↑ bBPH | testosterone, anticholinergics, symptahomimetics |
What are examples of antihistamines | 1st generation antihistamines, phenothiazines, TCAs: ↓ detrusor contractility |
Examples of sympathomimetics and their action | pseudoephedrine, oxymetazoline, phenylephdrine: excess a-adrenergic tone of prostate and bladder neck |
AUA sx score for mild, mod, sever | mild <7 Mod 8-19 severe: >20 |
Mild typical s/s for BPH | peak urin flow rate <10ml/s, postvoid residual>25-50, ↑ BUN and SCr |
Mod s/s for BPH | same as mild + obstructive voiding sxs and irritative voiding (signs of detrusor instability) |
Severe sigsn of BPH | all above + more complications of BPH |
Tx goals for BPH | ↓ sxs, ↓ dz progression, prevent complications |
BPH compliications | post-renal/chronic renal failure, infx, hematuria, bladder stones |
Tx for mild, mod, sev | mild: watchful waiting mod: pharm tx severe: surgery |
Three catagories for BPH tx | a1 and a1a blockers: relax smooth muscle and may ↓ prostate size, 5-areductase inhibitor: ↓ conversion of testosterone to DHT, Herbals |
How long does a1 and a1a onset usually take | 2-4wekks |
What is 1st line for moderate dz | a1 a1A blockers |
What is the MC a1 and a1A drug | a1: terazosin a1A: tamsulosin |
Which drug is most likely to cause abnl ejaculation | silodosin: a1A blocker |
What is finasteride, used when | 5a-reductase inhibitor , when prostate >50g |
Name two herbals can be used for BPH, which one more effective | Beta-sitosterol pygeum, saw palmetto, 1st better |
Onset of action for 5a-reductase inhibitors | 6m may cause ↓ libido |
What may ↑ tx effective ness | combination drugs (dutasteride/tamsuloxin: jalyn) |
Three mechanisms for urinariy incontinence | Detrusor muscle control, internal and external urethral sphincter |
What controls the detrusor muscle | both parasympathetics and B-adrenergic |
What contraols the internal urethral sphincter | alph-adrenergic |
What controls the external urethral sphincter | somatic or voluntary control |
Is incontinence a nl part of aging | no, age predisposes, but doesn’t cause |
4 types of incontinence | urge, stress, overflow, functional |
What is not caused by bladder or urethra-specific factors for incontinence | functional |
Causes/rf’s for UI (diappers) | delirium, infx, atrophic urethritis/vaginitis, pharm, psych, excessive uring output, restricted mobilitys, stool imbaction |
What drugs can cause urinary retention | CCBs, narcotics, antipsychotics, anticholinergics, a-receptor antagonist(men) |
What are diruetics to avoid for UI | alcohol and caffeine |
What are s/s of urge (bladder overactivity) | loss of mod-lg vols of urine w/ intense need to void |
Three drug classes for urge incontinence | anticholinergics, TCAs, topical estrogen (only w/ urethritis or vaginitis) |
What is 1st line for urge incontinence | anticholinergics |
What are anticholinergics used | oxybutynin, tolterodine |
s/s of stress (uretheral underactivity) | loss of sm vols of urine, from ↑ abd pressure |
classes for stress UI | 5-HT/NE reuptake inhibitar: smooth muscle control: a-adrenergic agonists, topical estrogen, imipramine |
1st line for strees UI | duloxetine, (alternative is a-adrenergics: pseudophedrine) imipramine 2nd line |
