Mechanism of Action Flashcards
Octreotide (Sandostatin)
Selective splanchnic vessel constrictor for the treatment of portal hypertension
Coregard
Nadolol
non-selective beta blocker used for prevention of portal hypertension
Inderal
Propanolol
non-selective beta blocker used for prevention of portal hypertension
Lactulose
converts ammonia produced by the intestinal bacteria to ammonium
Rifaximin
inhibits activity of urease-producing bacteria to decrease ammonia production
Where in the nephron does furosemide work?
the ascending Loop of Henle on the Na/K pump
Where in the nephron does Farxiga work?
Dapagliflozin
the proximal tubule by blocking SGLT2
**most of the Na and Ca is reabsorbed here
Where in the nephron does Microzide work?
HCTZ
Distal convoluted tubule where it inhibits Na-CL pump
Where in the nephron does Inspra work?
Eplerenone
The collecting duct is affected by ADH and aldosterone levels. Aldosterone inhibitors block aldosterone in the collecting duct from absorbing more water and Na+
Aluminium hydroxide
potent phosphate binder and block the absorption of dietary phosphate
**take prior to meal TID
HIGH RISK OF ALUMINIUM ACCUMULATION
Calcium Acetate
Phosphate binder that block absorption of dietary phosphate.
**take prior to meals TID
Ferric citrate
Al and Ca free phosphate binder to block absorption of dietary phophate
Lanthanum Carbonate
Al and Ca free phosphate binder to block absorption of dietary phophate
Renvela
Sevelamer Carbonate
no Ca or Al phosphate binder that is NOT systemically absorbed ===== you poop it out (:
Renagel
Sevelamer hydrochloride no Ca or Al phosphate binder that is NOT systemically absorbed ===== you poop it out (:
