Autonomic Drugs Flashcards
1
Q
Alpha 1 Functions
A
- Dilate Eye (myadriasis)
- Constrict arteries and Veins
- Constrict Trigone in bladder
- Constrict Sphincters in GI
- Cause Ejaculation
- Constrict vasculature in nasal mucosa
2
Q
Alpha 2 Functions
A
- Constrict Arteries and Veins
- Decrease GI Motility (Minor)
3
Q
Beta 1 Functions
A
- Increase Force of Contraction of Heart, incrase rate, automaticity, and impulse conduction
- Increase Renin secretion from kidney resulting in vasoconstriction
4
Q
Beta 2 Functions
A
- Dilate Bronchioles
- Dilate Arteries and Veins (Overshadowed by alpha mediated constriction)
- Decrease GI Motility (Minor)
- Relax Detrussor Muscle of Bladder
- Relax Pregnant Uterus
5
Q
Beta 3 Functions
A
-Relax Detrussor Muscle in Bladder
6
Q
Epinephrine
A
- Released from Chromaffin cells in Adrenal Gland
- Agonist to all alpha and beta receptors
- More potent to beta, less potent to alpha
- Poorly bioavailable when taken orally
- Used in Cardiac Arrest patients to restart heart
- Used to treat open angle glaucoma because of myadriasis and opening of trabecular network
7
Q
Norepinephrine
A
- Released from post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons onto effector tissue
- Agonist to all receptors
- Stronger against alpha than epinephrine
8
Q
Isoproterenol
A
-Agonist to B1, B2, and B3
9
Q
Phenylephrine
A
- Specific agonist to alpha 1
- Used to stop tachychardic arrythmias because of baroreceptor induced decrease in HR
- Used to treat hypotension
- Used to treat runny nose, constricts vasculature in nose
10
Q
Clonidine
A
- Agonist CNS acting specific to alpha 2
- Decreases sympathetic outflow from the brain
11
Q
Oxymetazoline
A
- Agonist to peripheral alpha 2
12
Q
Dobutamine
A
- Agonist Specific for B1, but also works some on alpha 1 and 2 and Dopamine Receptors
- Used in Cardiogenic Shock (along with Dopamine) (increase CO and PR)
13
Q
Albuterol
A
- Agonist specific for B2 receptors
- Used to treat Asthma
14
Q
Mirabegron
A
- Agonist Specific for B3 receptors
- Used to treat overactive bladder
15
Q
Amphetamine
A
-Causes release of Norepi and Epi
16
Q
Methylphenydate
A
- Causes release of Epi and Norepi
- Used to treat ADHD
17
Q
Tyramine
A
- Causes release of Nor Epi and Epi
- Found in Meats and Cheeses, usually metabolized by MAO, but MAO inhibitors (Phenilzine) prevent that and can have disasterous Drug Drug interactions
18
Q
TCA (Imiprimine) and Cocaine
A
Block uptake of Norepi and cleft
19
Q
Ephedrine and Pseudoephedrine
A
-Works as a sympathomimetic and releaser of Norepi/Epi
20
Q
Carvedilol Labetalol
A
- Antagonist of alpha 1 receptors and beta receptors
- 3rd generation, mixed alpha beta antagonism causes decreased CO and PR
- Used to treat hypertension
- Treat congestive heart failure
21
Q
Propranolol
A
- Antagoinst of all beta receptors
- 1st generation
- Used to treat hypertension
- Can be used to treat arrythmias
- Glaucoma, decreases the production of aqueos humor
- Used to reduce muscle tremor
- Used as a prophylaxis to treat migrane
