Meds Flashcards
(21 cards)
Albumin
Restores plasma volume after burns, hyperbilirubinemia, shock, hypoproneinemia, prevention of cerebral edema, cardio pulmonary bypass, ARDS, nephrotic syndrome
Potassium
Prevention and tx of hypokalemia
Magnesium
MOM
Constipation; bowel prep before sx or exam; anticonvulsant for preeclampsia, eclampsia; electrolyte
Calcium
Antacid, calcium supp, hyperphosphatemia, hypertension during pregnancy, osteoporosis, prevention/tx hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism
Mannitol
Edema; promotion of systemic diuresis in cerebral edema; decrease in intraocular/intracranial pressure; improved renal function in acute renal failure, chemical poisoning
Furosemide
Pulmonary edema; edema with CHF, hepatic disease, nephrotic syndrome, cites, HTN
(Loop Diuretic)
Pantoprazole
PPI
GERD, severe eroxive esophagitis maintenance of long-term pathologic hypersecretory conditions
Famotidine
H2- histamine receptor antagonist
Short-term tx of active duodenal ulcer, maintenance therapy for duodenal ulcer, GERD, heartburn
Prilosec
Ranitidine
H2- histamine receptor antagonist
Inhibits gastric acid secretion
Zantac
Nizatidine
H2- histamine receptor antagonist
Reducing gastric acid output
Esomeprazole
PPI
Suppresses gastric secretions
Nexium
Silver Sulfadiazine
interferes with bacterial protein synthesis
skin infections, minor burns, wounds, skin grafts
Mafenide
interferes with bacterial protein synthesis
skin infections, minor burns, wounds, skin grafts
Doxorubicin
Inhibits DNA synthesis primarily; replication is < by binding to DNA, which causes strand splitting; active throughout entire cell cycle; a vesicant
Adriamycin: Antineoplastic
Cisplatin
Alkylates DNA, RNA; inhibits enzymes that allow for the synthesis of amino acids in proteins; activity not cell-cycle phase specific
Antineoplastic
Medroxyprogesterone
Inhibits secretion of pituitary gonadotropins, which prevents follicular maturation and ovulation; antineoplastic action against endometrial cancer
Tamoxifen
Inhibits cell division by binding to cytoplasmic estrogen receptors; resembles normal cell complex but inhibits DNA synthesis and estrogen response of target tissue.
Antineoplastic
Paclitaxel
Inhibits reorganization of microtubule network needed for interphase and biotic cellular functions; causes abnormal bundles of microtubules during cell cycle and multiple setters of microtubules during mitosis
Antineoplastic
Leuprolide
Causes initial increase in circulating levels of LH, FSH; continuous administration results in decreased LH, FSH; in men, testosterone is reduced to castrate levels; in premenopausal women, estrogen is reduced to menopausal levels
Antineoplastic
oxybutynin
Relaxes smooth muscles in urinary tract by inhibiting acetylcholine at postganglionic sites
Ditropan
Docusate Sodium
Prevention of dry, hard stools
