Naloxone Hydrochloride action?
Competitive inhibition at narcotic receptor sites. Reverses respiratory depression secondary to opiate drugs. Completely inhibits the effect of morphine.
Narcan action?
Competitive inhibition at narcotic receptor sites. Reverses respiratory depression secondary to opiate drugs. Completely inhibits the effect of morphine.
Nitroglycerin action?
Action Smooth muscle relaxant acting on vasculature, bronchial, uterine, intestinal smooth muscle. Dilation of arterioles and veins in the periphery. Reduces preload and afterload, decreasing workload of the heart and thereby myocardial oxygen demand.
Nitrostat action?
Action Smooth muscle relaxant acting on vasculature, bronchial, uterine, intestinal smooth muscle. Dilation of arterioles and veins in the periphery. Reduces preload and afterload, decreasing workload of the heart and thereby myocardial oxygen demand.
Nitro-Bid action?
Action Smooth muscle relaxant acting on vasculature, bronchial, uterine, intestinal smooth muscle. Dilation of arterioles and veins in the periphery. Reduces preload and afterload, decreasing workload of the heart and thereby myocardial oxygen demand.
Tridil action?
Action Smooth muscle relaxant acting on vasculature, bronchial, uterine, intestinal smooth muscle. Dilation of arterioles and veins in the periphery. Reduces preload and afterload, decreasing workload of the heart and thereby myocardial oxygen demand.
Nitropaste action?
Smooth muscle relaxant acting on vasculature, bronchial, uterine, intestinal smooth muscle.
Dilation of arterioles and veins in the periphery.
Reduces preload and afterload, decreasing workload of the heart and thereby myocardial oxygen demand.
Nitro-Bid Ointment action?
Smooth muscle relaxant acting on vasculature, bronchial, uterine, intestinal smooth muscle.
Dilation of arterioles and veins in the periphery.
Reduces preload and afterload, decreasing workload of the heart and thereby myocardial oxygen demand.
Thiamine action?
Combines with ATP to form thiamine pyrophosphate coenzyme. The brain is sensitive to thiamine deficiency
Betaxin action?
Combines with ATP to form thiamine pyrophosphate coenzyme. The brain is sensitive to thiamine deficiency
Morphine Sulfate action?
Alleviates pain through CNS action. Suppresses fear and anxiety centers in the brain. Depresses brainstem respiratory centers. Increases peripheral venous capacitance and decreases venous return. Decreases preload and after-load, which decreases myocardial oxygen demand.
Roxanol action?
Alleviates pain through CNS action. Suppresses fear and anxiety centers in the brain. Depresses brainstem respiratory centers. Increases peripheral venous capacitance and decreases venous return. Decreases preload and after-load, which decreases myocardial oxygen demand.
MS Contin action?
Alleviates pain through CNS action. Suppresses fear and anxiety centers in the brain. Depresses brainstem respiratory centers. Increases peripheral venous capacitance and decreases venous return. Decreases preload and after-load, which decreases myocardial oxygen demand.
Insulin action?
Allows glucose transport into cells of all tissues; converts glucagon to fat; produces intracellular shift of potassium and magnesium to reduce elevated serum levels of these electrolytes.
Ibuprofen action?
Anti-inflammatory and antipyretic through inhibition of prostaglandins
Motrin action?
Anti-inflammatory and antipyretic through inhibition of prostaglandins
Advil action?
Anti-inflammatory and antipyretic through inhibition of prostaglandins
Glucagon action?
Increases blood glucose level by stimulating glycogenolysis. Unknown mechanism of stabilizing cardiac rhythm in beta-blocker overdose. Minimal positive inotropic and chronotropic response. Decreases GI motility and secretions.
GlucaGen action?
Increases blood glucose level by stimulating glycogenolysis. Unknown mechanism of stabilizing cardiac rhythm in beta-blocker overdose. Minimal positive inotropic and chronotropic response. Decreases GI motility and secretions.
Epinephrine action?
Direct-acting Alpha and Beta agonist
Alpha: vasoconstriction
Beta-1: positive inotropic, chronotropic, and dromotropic effect
Beta-2: bronchial smooth muscle relaxation and dilation of skeletal vasculature
Blocks histamine receptors
Adrenalin action?
Direct-acting Alpha and Beta agonist
Alpha: vasoconstriction
Beta-1: positive inotropic, chronotropic, and dromotropic effect
Beta-2: bronchial smooth muscle relaxation and dilation of skeletal vasculature
Blocks histamine receptors
Dextrose action?
Rapidly increases serum glucose levels. Short-term osmotic diuresis
Clopidogrel action?
Inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex
Plavix action?
Inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex
