36
Thyroid Hormone Medications are...?
Synthetic THYROxine (T4) which ↑ metabolic rate
37
Thyroid Medications examples (4)
LevoTHYROxine (Synthroid, Levothyroid) LioTHUROnien (Cytomel) Liotrix (THYROlar) THYROid (Thyroid USP)
38
AntiThyroid Medications function...?
block conversion of T4 and T3, which treats Grave's Disease and Thyrotoxicosis
39
Grave's Disease
When autoimmune antibodies r/in hyper secretion of thyroid hormones
40
AntiThyroid Medication examples (4)
Proplythiouracil (PTU) Methimazole (Tazapole) Thyroid Radioactive Iodine Thyroid NonRadioactive Iodine
41
Thyroid Radioative vs. NonRadioactive Iodine
Radioactive - destroys thyroid cells (good for thyroid cancer) Non - iodine inhibits hormone production
42
Thyroid Iodine, how's it taste?
LIKE SHIT Drink through a straw to prevent staining of teeth. No radioactivity precautions necessary for this medication.
43

45
Insulin Overdose antidose
Glucose (GLUCAgon)
46
Anterior Pituitary (Growth) Hormones function...? WATCH OUT for when taking?
Stimulate growth for patients w/ growth deficiencies. DM, as they ↑ r/o hyperglycemia
47
Growth Hormone examples (2)
Somatropin | Somatrem (Protropin)
48
Posterior Pituitary (Antidiuretic) Hormones function...?
promotes reabsorption of water in kidneys and causes vasoconstriction
49
Antidiuretic Hormones examples (2)
Desmopressin (DDAVP, Stimate) | Vasopressin (Petressin Synthetic)
50
Anticonvulants function...? how?
treat epileptic seizures by suppressing rapid firing neurons in brains that start them.
51

52
CAPHE vs. VALET anticonvulsants
VALET's are only for petit mal seizures
53

LatanoPROST | TravoPROST
65
Alpha2-Adrenergic Agonists treat? how?
Increased ocular pressure by ↓ aqueous humor production. ALSO protects retinal neurons from death
66

BrimonIDINE (Alphagan) | ApracionIDINE (Iop Idine)
67
Direct Acting Cholinergic Agonists/Muscarinic Agonist function? 1 example?
constricts pupil and ciliary muscle, this widens trabecular meshwork, r/in ↑ outflow aqueous humor Pilocarpine
68
