24
Q

Cns depressant

Study These Flashcards
A

benzodiazepine
barbiturate
anesthetics

25
Benzodiazepine
works by increasing effect of the neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is inhibitory neurotransmitter that reduces brain activity Drugs:Diazepam Lorazepam Clonazepam Temazepam • Alprazolam • Midazolam
26
Barbiturate
Act directly on GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors, keeping them open for an extended period, leading to a negative charge and reduced nerve cell responsiveness. Drugs: • Phenobarbital • Amobarbital • Secobarbital • Primidone
27
Local anesthetics
Lidocaine Procaine Bupivacaine
28
General anesthetics
Propofol Sevoflurane
29
Cns Stimulant
Anorexiants anti-epileptic analgesic
30
anorexiants
to promote weight loss through appetite suppressant and stimulation effects by increasing norepinephrine availability to neural receptors Drugs: • Phentermine • Orlistat • Lorcaserin Common side effect; increased bp & hr
31
Anti-epileptic drugs
stabilizing neuronal membranes and reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain, preventing seizures Drugs: Carbamazepine • Phenytoin • Valproic Acid
32
analgesic 2 types
anti inflammatory ( Non-steriodal anti inflammatory drugs) Opioids
33
anti inflammatory
ibuprofen naproxen aspirin diclofenac celecoxib
34
Opioids
morphine diamorphine oxycodone,hydromorphone fentanyl tapentadol
35
common side effect of nsaid
gastrointestinal issue
36
common side effect of nsaid
gastrointestinal issue
37
common side effect of opioids
constipation, nausea
38
common side effect of acetaminophen
liver toxicity
39
opiod antagonist
naloxone- for opiod overdose and toxicity
40
opioid agonist
methadone or buprenorphine
41
PNS stimulant
Anti-cholinergic Acetylcholinesterase/Cholinesterase inhibitors Neuromuscular blocking agents muscle relaxants
42
Anti cholinergic
block the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, inhibiting the effects on various organ system. Drugs: • Atropine • Scopolamine • Benztropine Common side effect; Reduce salivation, muscle tremors and increased HR
43
Anti cholinergic
block the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, inhibiting the effects on various organ system. Drugs: • Atropine • Scopolamine • Benztropine Common side effect; Reduce salivation, muscle tremors and increased HR
44
Acetylcholinesterase
inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain (Alzheimer's diseases) Drugs: Donezepil Rivastigmine Common side effect: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bradycardia and muscle weakness
45
Neuromuscular blocking agents
Succinylcholine Rocuronium drugs that paralyze muscles to help with anesthesia, intubation, and mechanical ventilation Drugs: • Succinylcholine • Rocuronium Common side effect; paralysis, changes in BP and HR, potential allergic reactions
46
Muscle relaxants
act in the central nervous system to reduce tension and spasm of the skeletal muscles. Drugs: • Succinylcholine • Rocuronium Methocarbamol, Baclofen, Cyclobenzaprine, Tizanidine Carisoprodol, Chlorzoxazone, Dantrolene, Metaxalone,
