Term | Definition |
anticholinergic | can contribute to constipation, prolong colonic transport time can cause urinary retention by reducing detrusor contraction strength |
antimuscarinic | REDUCES detrusor OVERACTIVITY and increases capacity used with OAB and neurogenic bladder SE's include dry mouth and constipation |
alpha-1 -adrenergic antagonist | reduces urethral pressure used in BPH and neurogenic bladder SE hypotension |
cholinergic | STIMULATES detrusor |
beta-3 adrenergic agonist | RELAXES DETRUSOR, increase storage used with neurogenic bladder and OAB SE's less dry mouth, new or worsen HTN |
osmotic laxatives | softens stool, promotes peristalsis |
stimulant laxative | increases peristalsis, increases water absorption in large intestine |
bulk forming laxatives | increases bulk, increases water absorption |
cholestyramine | binds bile acids which have a promotility effect on bowel |
skeletal muscle relaxant | reduces muscle tone in rhabdosphincter and periurethral muscles neurogenic bladder |
alpha adrenergic agonist | promotes urethral sphincter closure, increases muscle tone in bladder neck includes cold meds SE's HTN, nervousness |
5-alpha reductase inhibitors | reduces size of prostate |
meds for BPH | 5-alpha reductase inhibitors alpha-1 -adrenergic antagonist |
meds for OAB | antimuscarinic beta-3 adrenergic agonist anticholinergic |
meds for neurogenic bladder | alpha-1 -adrenergic antagonist antimuscarinic anticholinergic beta-3 adrenergic agonist antispasmodic |
meds that reduce detrusor activity | antimuscarinic anticholinergic beta-3 adrenergic agonist |
reduces urethral pressure | alpha blockers/antagonist antispasmodic |
increases bladder neck and urethra sphincter tone | alpha agonist |
