Q

Fluoxetine

A

(Prozac, Sarafem)
All Inhibit P-Glycoprotein
Long half life and Active metabolites, Blocks metabolism of other drugs through P450 mechanism (CYP2D6, CYP2C19 - Lidocaine does CYP3A4)

Other SSRI - Paroxetine, Sertraline, Fluvoxamine
All inhibit P-Glycoprotein, Shorter action, Less P450 block

Q

SSRI Drug Interactions

A

Monoamine Oxidase inhibitors - “Serotonin syndrome,” Serotonergic agonists, NSAIDs (Increased ulcers), Substrates or inhibitors of P450 metabolism, Several increase pQT or TdP and SNRI velafaxine, Displace SSRI from plasma or vice versa

21
Q

A

Vary use, Side effects - Dry mouth, Hypertension, Vasoconstrictors

22
Q

Monoamine Oxidase A Inhibitors

A

NOT Shotgun drugs
Phenelzine (Nardil), Tranylcypromine (Parnate); Block Monoamine Oxidase Type A, No action on other receptors, Irreversible blockade, Elevate free NE or 5HT

23
Q

MAO-I Uses

A

Used where side effects of Tricyclics is unacceptable - Elderly, Cardiovascular disease, Replaced by SSRI; Possible hepatotoxicity, Orthostatic Hypotension, Tachycardia, Dry mouth

24
Q

MAO-I Drug and Food Interactions

A

Opiates (Especially Meperidine), Tryclic antidepressants, SSRI, Barbiturates, Alcohol, Sympathomimetics
Food high in Tyramine - Precursor to NE, Displaced presynaptic NE (Cheese, Wine, Canned fish, Snails, Liver, Nuts, Beans, Citrus fruit, Coffee, Yeast) - Severe headaches and hypertension

25
St. John's Wort
Naturceutical; Super reuptake blocker of bioamines, Variable amount of hyperforin, Action mediated by TRPC6 - Modulates Na, Ca for reuptake and modulates neurite growth; Induces P450 enzymes (PXR) Drug interactions!!
26
Mania Drug Treatment
Lithium Carbonate; Neuroprotective, Adjunct agents sometimes (Haloperidol, Anticonvulsant - Carbamazepine, Anticonvulsant - Valproate and many like thyroid, omega fatty acids, calcium channel blockers)
27
Lithium Carbonate Side Effects
Mania; Induces diabetes incipidus, leads to marked xerostomia and rampant caries;
28
Lithium Carbonate Drug Interactions
Drugs alter urinary excretion - Diuretics (Paradoxically used to control diabetes incipidus), NSAIDs, Anticholinergic drugs
29
Other Depression Treatment
Electroconvulsive therapy - Effective, Less side effects and toxicity, Loss of memory, Lethal in elder Rapid MDD reversal with IV Ketamine - Low dose ketamine can reverse MDD or bipolar depression in few hour and relief lasts week, Reduce suicidal ideation; Classified dis-associative anesthetic that blocks NMDA glutamate receptors to produce amnesia and analgesia; Psychomimetic side effects
30
Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Diagnosis - 2 or more of following, for 6mo and 1mo active: Positive - 1/3 Delusions, Hallucinations, Disorganized speech and behavior, Disorganized/Catonic behavior Negative - Flattening, Alogia or Avolition Cognitive - Memory, Judgement problem, Decreased empathy and problems, Visual tracking delay or Olfactory deficit
31
Therapeutic Target for Antipsychotic Drugs
Block Dopamine (D2) receptors at meso-limbic dopamine cells (Reduce positive signs of psychosis), Block dopamine at chemoreceptor trigger zone, Blocks Ach receptor and Block 5HT2a receptors reduce extrapyramidal side effects (5HT2a blocks positive and negative symptoms)
32
Side Effects from Blocking Dopamine
Striatal (Basal Ganglia) - Extrapyramidal effects, Tardive dyskinesia (Valbenazine helps for this) Tubro-infundibular dopamine path - Dopamine inhibits prolactin release from ant. pituitary, Adverse reaction of blocking dopamine = gynecomastia or lactation
33

37
-azine
Classic antipsychotic
38
-ixine
Classic antipsychotic
39
-peridole
Classic antipsychotic but DA selective
40
-zapine

41

AAP but SDA fewer side effects
42
-piprazole
AAP-Partial DA agonist/low side effects
43
Phenothiazine
Shotgun Drug; Early antipsychotics, Acts at many receptors - Anti-dopaminergic (D1-D2), Anti-serotoninergic (5HT2), Anti-muscarinic M1 (anti-DA and anti-Ach reduces Parkinson's like side effects), Anti-histmainergic (H1), Anti-adrenergic (alpha block - 1-2; Epi reversal, Orthostatic hypotension), Cardiac Potassium Channel Block (Prolonged QT, Torsades de Pointes), Sigma receptors
44
Use for Typical Antipsychotic Drugs
Management of psychotic disorders, Antiemetics, PCP psychosis, Migraine, Tourette's syndrome, Huntington's chorea, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Dementia, Adjunct in bipolar disorder
45
Phenothiazine Prototype
Chlorpromazine a1>5HT2>=D2>D1>M Older agents reduce delusions and hallucinations
46
Haloperidol
Butryophenone - LESS Shotgun like "Selective" antipsychotic; Blocks D2 receptors preferentially - sigma>D2>D1=D4>a1>5HT2; Little anticholinergic action - High incidence of EPS, Add antichoinergic agents, Switch to AAP
47
Classic Antipsychotic Medication Side Effects
Drowsiness, Parkinsons, Dyskinesia, Perioral tremor, Rabbit syndrome, Tardive dyskinesia, Dry mouth, Constipation, Glaucoma, Orthostatic Hypotension (alpha-blockade) - Epinephrine "reversal", Prolonged QT, Deaths in elder, Endocrine changes - DA block prolactin secretion and gynecomastia in prolong use, Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, Photosensitivity, Weight gain, Pigmentation
48
Atypical Antipsychotics - "AAP"
Clozapine (Clozaril) - Shotgun Drug Blocks many receptors, M>5HT2,6,7=H1=a1=a2=D4>D1=D2, Low extra pyramidal side effects, Improves "negative" signs, Improve course of disease, Strong antimuscarinic action - Increases salivation and may involve a2A polymorphic receptor, Potential for hepatic, pancreatic toxicity (Diabetogenic-related to H1 block), Cardiovascular toxicity and Agranulocytosis (5BB!! - Require REMS)
49
AAP with Diabetes Hyperglycemia Warning
