Question
Answer
MOA of antiepileptics - broadest spectrum   decrease Na influx, decrease Ca influx, increase GABA  
🗑
broadest spectrum antiepileptic   valproic acid = VPA  
🗑
valproic acid ADRs   hepatatoxic, teratogenic, pancreatitis, NO CNS EFFECT  
🗑
broad spectrum, most preferred antiepileptic   carbamazepine  
🗑
MOA valproic acid   decrease Na/Ca influx, increase GABA  
🗑
MOA carbamazepine   selectively inhibit Na channels  
🗑
carbamazepine unique metabolism   increases the rate of its own metabolism  
🗑
drug for partial seizures/tonic-clonic seizures   phenytoin  
🗑
phenytoin dosing problem   small dose change can result in HUGE increase in serum levels  
🗑
absence/petit-mal antiepileptic   ethoxsuximide  
🗑
additional antiepileptics   lamotrigine  
🗑
additional antiepileptic that can cause oral-cleft abnormalities if fetus exposed   topiramate  
🗑
MOA of local anesthetics   block Na channels, non-selective action in PNS  
🗑
name an ester local anesthetic that can be used with epinephrine   procaine  
🗑
name an alkaloid ester that CANNOT be used with epinephrine and CANNOT be used in cardiac pts   cocaine  
🗑
name an amide local anesthetic that is widely used   lidocaine  
🗑
muscle spasm - 2 centrally acting drugs   diazepam, tizanidine  
🗑
what drug is effective for BOTH spasm and spasticity   diazepam  
🗑
what centrally acting spasm drug is hepatatoxic   tinzanidine  
🗑
what is the MOA of muscle spasticity   it is of CNS origin - like MS, CP, CVA, spinal cord trauma  
🗑
3 centrally acting drugs for spasticity   baclofen, diazepam, dantrolene  
🗑
baclofen   spasticity agent, no antidote  
🗑
diazepam   spasm AND spasticity - mimics GABA  
🗑
dantrolene   spasticity drug, hepatatoxic, suppresses release of Ca from SR  
🗑
other local anesthetics - name regconition   tetracaine, chlorprocaine, bezocaine, dibucaine, bupivacaine, mepivacaine, pilocaine, articaine, levobupivacaine, ropivacaine  
🗑
which class of local anesthetic has a lower incidence of allergic reactions?   amide class, as in lidocaine  
🗑
general SEs of local anesthetics   CNS: excitation followed by sedation CV: brady, hypoTN L&D: uterine contractions, depress fetus as above allergic reactions  
🗑
why do we admin epinephrine with ester anesthetic procaine?   prolongs duration (vasocon) with some SEs from eop  
🗑
what local anesthetic has allergic reaction ADR   ester-based procaine has this ADR  
🗑
what locale anesthetic indicated for dysrhythmias   lidocaine  
🗑
Indication for cocaine   EENT procedures  
🗑
MOA for centrally acting muscle relaxants   unclear - inhibition at presynaptic motor neurons in CNS, global CNS sedation, suppression of spinal motor reflext  
🗑
MOA diazepam   enhanced GABA  
🗑
MOA tizanidine   Alpha-2 agonist in skeletal muscle  
🗑
MOA Baclofen   acts in spinal cord to suppress hyeractive reflexts. No direct effect on skeletal muscle  
🗑
which antiepileptics have SE of CNS effect, starting with nystagmus   carbamazepine, phenytoin (and maybe ethoxsuximide which also has CNS SEs)  
🗑
which antiepileptic interacts with grapefruit juice   carbamazepine  
🗑
MOA of ethoxsuximide   inhibit Ca channels in hypothalamus  
🗑
name recognition anti-epileptics   oxcabazepine, gabapentin, pregabalin, tiagabine, levetiracetam, vigabatrin, zonisamide, felbamate  
🗑
