Cleanup Flashcards
(145 cards)
Inhaled corticosteroids
Fluticasone, budesonide
Long lasting beta 2 agonists for asthma
Salmeterol, formoterol
Theophylline need
Inhibition of bronchodilation by inhibiting phosphodiesterase and increasing cAMP, narrow therapeutic window
Clomiphene
Antagoinst of estrogen receptors in hypothalamus preventing the normal feedback inhibition and leading to increased release of LH and FSH from the pituitary which stimulates ovulation
Tamoxifen
Estrogen antagonist at breast and an agonist at bone and uterus; increases risk of thromboembolic events and endometrial cancer
Raloxifene
Antagonist at breast, uterus; agonist at bone; increased risk of thromboembolic events but no increased risk of endometrial cancer; used to treat osteoporosis
Aromatase inhibitors
Anastrozole, letrozole, exemastane
Mechanism of aromatoase inhibitors and use
- Mech: Inhibit peripheral conversion of androgens to estrogen
- Use: ER + breast cancer in post menopausal women
Minoxidil side effects
Used as an arteriolar vasodilator; causes androgenic alopecia, severe hypertension
Finasteride
5 alpha reductase inhibitor used for BPH and male pattern baldness
Flutamidre
Nonsteroidal competitive inhibitor at androgen receptors. Used for prostate carcinoma
Ketoconazole
Inhibits steroid synthesis
Spironolactone
Inhibits steroid binding
Side effects of ketoconazole and spironolactone
Gynecomastia and amenorrhea
Epinephrine and brimonidine uses for glaucoma
- Epi is alpha 1, briomidine is alpha 2
- Decreased aqueous huumor synthesis via vasoconstriction (epi)
- Decreased aqueous humor synthesis (brimonidine)
TImolol, betaxolol, carteolol
Decreased aqueous humor synthesis
tazolamide
Decreased aqueous humor synthesis via inhibition of carbonic anhydrase
Bimatoprost and latanoprost for glaucoma
Increased outflow of aqueous humor via decreased resistance to flow therough uveoscleral pathway; can cause darkening of the iris, eyelash growth
When does dressler syndrome occur
Occurs several weeks after MI. Autoimmune phenomenon resulting in fibrinous pericarditis
Ivabradine mech and AE
- Mech: Selective inhibition of funny sodium channels prolonging the slow depolarization phase and decreased SA node firing and a negative chronotropic effect
- AE: Luminous phenomena/visual brightness, hypertension, bradycardia
Terbinafine AE
GI upset, headaches, hepatotoxicity, taste disturbance
Which 3rd gen cephalosporin can kill pseudomonas
Ceftazidime
Which cephalosporin can cover pseudomonas
Cefepime
Antiviral drugs NRTIs
