| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Antacids | neutralize gastric acid |
| Coating agents | form complex that adheres to crater of ulcer. |
| Histamine-2 blkers | decrease hydrochloric acid (increases pH) |
| Proton Pump Inhibitors | reduce gastric acid (parietal cells) secretion by irreversibly inhibiting enzyme to produce gastric acid. |
| Prokinetic Agents | Increases emptying of stomach to reduce reflux, stimul. GI motility, anti-emetic. |
| Antispasmotic Agents | reduce enzymes needed for digestion, decr. GI motility and secretions. |
| Dopamine Antagonists | inhibit dopam. recept.(part of pathway to vomiting center) |
| Serotonin Antagonists | Blk receptors in chemorecept. trigger zone |
| Anticholinergics | reduces acetylcholine @ chemorecept. trigg. zone and vomiting center. |
| Corticosteroids | UNKNOWN ACTION |
| Benzodiazepines | sedat, decr.anxiety, VC depression, amnesic effect. |
| Neurokinin-1Recept. antagonist | Blocks effects of Substance P in CNS. (Prevention of acute/delayed chemo-induced N/V. |
| Decongestants | Vasoconstrict=decrease in mucus, relieves stuffiness. |
| Antihistamines | Does not prevent hist. release, but reduces symptoms of allerg. reaction, tiss.damge, or infection. |
| Expectorants | Liquefy mucus, help expel secretion. |
| Antitussives | Suppress cough center in brain. |
| Mucolytic Agents | Reduce viscosity and stickiness of pulm. secretions. |

| Diuretics | Reduce BP, vol.depletion, Sodium exretion, vasodilat. of periph. arteries. |
| Beta-Blockers | Inhibit card. response to symphath. nerve stimulation. |
| ACE inhibitors | block conversion of angioi-ii to reduce BP, and preserve CO. |
| Angiotension receptor blkers | Bind with receptor sites; blocks angiotensin ii. |
| Calcium channel blkers | Blocks calcium channels in blood vessels (vasodilat) |
| Alpha-1 Blocking Agents | vasodilat, reduced PVR |
| Nitrates | Relaxes periph. vascular smooth muscles.Dialates arteries and veins. |
| PLatlet Aggregate inhibitors | Prevents platlets from clotting together-interfers with clotting. |
| Anticoagulants | Prevetion of Venous thrombosis, thrombosis formation |
| Cholinergic Agents | affect parasympath. portion of nerv. syst |
| Dopaminergics (levodopa) | symptom relief of parkinsons |
| COMT inhibitor (entacapone) | reduce destruct. of dopamine in periph. tissues. |
