  1. Blurred vision
  2. Confusion
  3. Mydriasis (dilation of pupil)
  4. Constipation
  5. Urinary retention
18

19
Q

List the direct anticholinergic muscurinic antagonist drugs

A

Atropine, Benzatropine, Scopolamine, Ipratropium, Oxybutynin

20
Q

List the effects of activation of m1 receptors.

A

Increase gastric acid secretion

20
Q

List the effects of activation of m2 receptors.

A
  1. decrease heart rate and contractility
  2. contraction of gall bladder
  3. enhance m3 -> increase motility and secretion
  4. enhance m3 -> contract detrusor, relax sphincter
  5. arterial dilation -> erection
21
Q

List the effects of activation of m3 receptors.

A
  1. constrict pupil (miosis, blurring of distant vision, increase lacrimation)
  2. increase saliva production
  3. increase motility and secretion
  4. contract detrusor, relax sphincter
  5. arterial dilation -> erection
22
Q

What is the mechanism of action for Azathioprine (cytotoxic antimetabolite)?

A

Azathioprine is converted to 6-mercaptopurine.
6-mercaptopurine is converted to 6-thioguanine.
6-TG impedes DNA synthesis and reduces T lymphocytes proliferation

23
Q

Which drug has lesser adverse effects: Azathioprine or Mycophenolate?

A

Mycophenolate
