Cards

Term
Primary angle-closure glaucoma
Definition
Treat with Pilocarpine (muscarinic agonist), physostigmine (AChE inhibitor) and echothiopate (AChE inhibitor)
Term
GI atony, abodominal swelling
Definition
Treat with bethanacol (muscarinic agonist)or neostigmine (AChE inhibitor)
Term
Urinary atony
Definition
Treat with bethanecol (muscarinic agonist)
Term
Myasthenia gravis
Definition
Treat with edrophonium or pyridostigmine (AChE inhibitors)
Term
Alzheimer's Disease
Definition
Treat with Donepezil
Term
Organophosphate poisoning
Definition
Treat irreversible AChE inhibitors with pralidoxime (quickly) and atropine (Muscarinic antagonist)
Term
Erectile dysfunction
Definition
Treat with Sildenafil (blocks the phosphodiesterase that breaks down cGMP)
Term
Xerostoma
Definition
Treat with pilocarpine (muscarinic agonist)
Term
How could you DIAGNOSE bronchial asthma?
Definition
Diagnose with methacholine aerosol, which tests bronchial hyperreactivity (hallmark of asthma)
Term
Head Lice
Definition
Treat with parthion, malathion (organophosphates) and carbaryl (Carbamate AChE inhibitor)
Term
Motion sickness
Definition
Treat with scopolamine (Muscarinic antagonist- more active in CNS than Atropine)
Term
Parkinson's Disease
Definition
Treat with carbadopa (to reduce peripheral DA effects) and LevaDOPA (increase DA in CNS) and benztropine (muscarinic antagonist, for dyskinesia)
Term
Inducing mydriasis for eye exams
Definition
Induce mydriasis with tropicamide (muscarinic antagonist)
Term
Relief of overactive bladder
Definition
Oxybutynin
Term

Definition
Treat with muscle relaxants: Diazepam (Valium, GABAa agonist and sedative), Baclofen (GABAb agonist), Dadntrolene (least sedative)
Term
Malignant Hyperthermia
Definition
Treat with Dantrolene (muscle relaxant). Hyperthermia can be induced by succinylcholine (a NMJ depolarizer, muscle relaxant)
Term
Cardiac Arrhythmias
Definition
Treat with carbidopa (reduces DA induced arrhythmias), or Beta blockers like Esmolol
Term
Angina pectoris
Definition
Treat with Beta blockers, such as atenolol or metoprolol
Term
Hypertension
Definition
Many treatments: Reserpine (blocks NE release, cheap, but mental problems), methyldopa (for preeclampsia), Pindolol (Beta blocker), labetalol (hypertensive emergencies, Beta and alpha blocker), clinidine (alpha-2 agonist), Atenolol and Esmolol
Term
Prostatic hypertrophy leading to urinary retention
Definition
Terazosin, tamsulosin (alpha-1 antagonists)
Term
Pheochromocytoma
Definition
Treat with phenoxybenzamine (irreversible alpha inhibitor) and NEVER with a pure beta blocker (like Atenolol) which could lead to a hypertensive crises
Term
Bronchial asthma
Definition
Treat acute asthma with: albuterol, terbutaline and chronic asthama with salmeterol or formoteral (given with a steroid)
Term
Peripheral vascular disease
Definition
Treat with alpha antagonists
Term
Congested mucous membranes
Definition
Treat with phenylphrine (alpha-1 agonist) or pseudoephedrine
Term
Local anesthetic
Definition
cocaine
Term

Definition
Ritodrine
Term
ADHD
Definition
Give them amphetamine
Term
Opiod withdrawl
Definition
Clonidine (alpha-2 agonist, decreases central SNS outflow)
Term
mental depression
Definition
Phenelzine (a MAO inhibitor. Don't mix with Tyramine, which would cause hypertension)
Term
open angle glaucoma
Definition
Timolol (topical beta-antagonist), brominidine (alpha-2 agonist), dipiverfrin (epi prodrug), dorzolamine (carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) or latanoprost (prostaglandin analogue)
Term
Preeclampsia
Definition
Treat with alpha-methyldopa
Term

Definition
Timolol (non-selective beta blocker)
