Q

Progestins

A

1) Use: OCP, Mirena IUD, treatment of endometrial cancer and abnormal uterine bleeding
2) Class/MOA: Binds progesterone receptors, reduce growth and increase vascularizaiton of endometrium
4) For OCP have to take at same time everyday so not as effective contraceptive

Q

Mifepristone (RU 486)

A

1) Use: Terminiation of pregnancy +misoprostol (PGE1)
2) Class/MOA: Competitive inhibitor of progestins at progesterone receptors

Q

Oral contraception (synthetic progestins, estrogen)

A

1) Use: Prevent pregnancy
2) Class/MOA: Estrogen and progestins inhibit LH/FSH and prevent estrogen surges so no LH surge and no ovulaiton. Progestins cause thickenign of cervical mucus, limiting access of sperm to uterus. Also inhibits endometrial proliferation, making endometirum less suitable for implanation of embryo
3) Side effects/ADEs: Contraindicated in smokers >35 yo becuase increase risk of DVT and CV events, patients with history of thormoembolism and storke or estrogen dependent tumor

Q

Terbutaline

A

1) Use: Reduces premature uterine contraction

2) Class/MOA: B2 agonist that relaxes the uterus

17
Q

Tamsulosin

A

1) Use: BPH
2) Class/MOA: Alpha 1 antagonist, inhibits smooth muscle contraction. Selective for alpha 1 A,D receptors on prostate (not vascular alpha 1B receptor)

18
Q

Sildenafil, vardenafil

A

1) Use: Erectile dysfunction
2) Class/MOA: Inhibits phosphodiesterase 5, increase cGMP, smooth muscle relaxaiton in corpus cavernosum, increase blood flow and penile erection
3) Side effects/ADEs: Headache, flushing, dyspepsia, impaired blue green color vision, risk of life threatening hypotension in patients taking nitrates “Hot and sweath” but then Headace, Heartburn, Hypotension
4) Fun Facts: DON’T USE WITH NITRATES

19
Q

Danazol

A

1) Use: Endometriosis and hereditary angioedema (C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency)
2) Class/MOA: Synthetic androgen acts as partial agonist at andorgen receptors (on pituitary –> decr FSH and LH –> anovulatory = less pain)
3) Side effects/ADEs: Weight gain, edema, acne, hirsutism, masculinizaiton, decrease HDL levels, hepatotoxicity
