QuestionAnswer
Acetylcholine Muscarinic and Nicotinic agonist, hydrolysis by AchE and BchE, used investigationally
Carbamylcholine muscarinc and nicotinic agonist, slower hydrolysis by AchE and BchE, used for open angle gloucoma (contract ciliary muscle)
Pilocarpine Passes through the BBB, high selectivity for musc over nic receptors, slow hydrolysis by AchE and BchE, treat open and narrow angle glaucoma, dry mouth, treat musc antagonist poisoning
9 Adverse effects of muscarinic antagonist dry mouth, dry eyes, photophobia, blurred near vision, tachycardia, inhibit sweating, urinary retention, constipation, CNS Effects (drowsiness, confustion ect)
Atropine Musc. antagonist,
Scopolamine musc antagonist, used for motion sickness treatment, lipid soluble
Nicotine Nicotinic agonist-ganglionic stimulant, low doses stimulate SNS and PSNS neurons, high doses have initial stimulation then a blockade
Hexamethonium and Mecamylamine Ganglionic blocker-nicotinic antagonist, compete with acetylcholine for binding spot (blocks), causes total blockade of ANS, orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, photophobia etc.
d-tubocurarine non depolarizing neuromuscular blockers, nicotinic receptor blocker Nm, causes weakness followed by paralysis, no effect on pain, reversible with AchE inhibitors
Succinylcholine depolarizing neuromuscular blockers, Nm agonists, initial depolarizations causing fasciculations leading to paralysis, fast onset, not reversible by AchE
Dantrolene Blocks Ca release preventing muscle contraction
Botulinum toxin irreversible block of Ach release---muscle paralysis
edrophonium competitive agonist of AchE, short duration reversible, used to diagnose myasthenia gravis
Neostigmine and pyridostigmine carbamates, slow reversible block of AchE, treat MG reverse of nondepolarizing neuromusc. blockade
Physostigmine carbamate, slow reversible block, good CNS penetration, treat OAG, alz, antimusc poisoning
Donepezil noncarbamate, slow reversible block, good CNS penetration, treat alz
Echothiophate organophosphate, irreversible AchE inhibitor, treat open angle glaucoma
Phenylephrine alpha 1 agonist, causes mydriasis, CVshock, slows abs. of local anesthetics, nasal and ocular decongestion
Oxymetazoline and tetrahydrozoline alpha 1 agonism and some alpha 2 agonism, mainly used for nasal and ocular decongestion
Clonidine and methyldopa alpha 2 agonists, treat hypertension, reduce anxiety symptoms, analgesia, veterinary medicines, causes sedation, dry mouth, and rebound hypertension
isoproterenol nonselective B1 and B2 agonist, increased rate and force of cardiac contraction, bronchodilation
albuterol and terbutaline B2 agonist, treatment of asthma, bronchodilation, incrase cilliary activity, decrease mast cell activity (inflammation)
Ritodrine B2 agonist, to relax uterus
tyramine IASA, release NE, if taken with MAOI a massive increase in BP will occur and vasoconstriction
Ephedrine IASA, bronchodilation B2, nasal decongestion B1, relase of NE and E causes CNS effects, is abused
Pseudoephedrine IASA indirect acting, nasal decongestion, not as highly abused
Amphetamine IASA indirect acting, more lipid soluble for more CNS stimulation, appetite suppression, treat ADHD, narcolepsy, high abuse potential
Methamphetamine widely abused IASA
Phenoxybenzamine alpha 1 & 2 antagonist, irreversible blockade, vasodilation and hypotension, tachycardia due to barorecptor reflex
Phentolamine reversible block of alpha 1 and 2 receptors, control hypertension
Prazozin alpha 1 antagonism, reversible, cause less tachycardia and arrhythmias, treat hypertension, CHF, peripheral vascular disease, hemmorrhagic shock, and benign prostatic hypertrophy (first dose phen---faint <---given at night)
Tamsulosin antagonist with alpha 1 a selectivity, used to treat BPH---these a1a receptors are found mainly in the prostate, so it helps with urination
Yohimbine alpha 2 blockers, increase SNS outflow, treatment of psycogenic impotence, postural hypotension
Propranolol nonselective B Blocker, decrease HR, FC, CO, automaticity,inhibit renin release, slight bronchoconstriction
atenolol B1 antagonists (also block B2s) similar to nonselective B antagonists
Pindolol ISA, partial B agonist, reduce bradycardia in patients with excessive cardiac slowing, preserve B2 activity
Labetalol and Carvedilol Antagonist of B and A receptors, varying activity, one is better than the other in certain situations

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
