  • 3rd side (hint)
Brimonidine for?
Glaucoma

does what?
decreases aqueous humor synthesis
How doe EPI work for glaucoma?
decreases aqueous humor synthesis due to vasoconstriction

ADE?
mydriasis
stinging
what drug cant you give for glaucoma?
EPI
how do beta-blockers help for glaucoma?
decrease aq humor secretion
how does acetazolamide help for glaucoma?
dec aq humor secretion due to decreased HCO3 (inhibits carbonic anhydrase)
what is one tx for essential tremors?
beta-blockers
tx for ischemic stroke?
tPA if patients presents within 3 hrs of stroke
what is Riluzole used for?
ALS

how does it work?
Riluzole preferentially blocks TTX-sensitive sodium channels, which are associated with damaged neurons.[1] This reduces influx of calcium ions and indirectly prevents stimulation of glutamate receptors.

the effect of the neurotransmitter glutamate on motor neurons is greatly reduced. Prolongs life
tx for MS?
b-interferon, immunosuppression, natalizumab

GABA receptor agonist to decrease GABA

direct acting cholinomimentics

what are they used for?
inc outflow of aqueous humor, contract ciliary musc to open up trabecular meshwork

latanoprost is used for?
glaucoma

what does it do?
increases outflow of aqueous humor

ADE: darkens color of iris
what do opiod analgesics:
agonist at opiod receptors modulate synaptic transmission, inhibit release of ACh, NE, 5HT, glut, substance P

does what?
closes Ca channels and opens K channels

decreases synaptic transmission

cough suppression
toxicity of opiod analgesics?
resp depression
miosis
CNS depression if with other drug
Addiction

what is toxicity tx with?
naloxone
naltrexone
what does butorphanol?
partial agonist at opiod mu receptor

agonist kappa receptors, does what
causes less resp depression than full agonist

but:
causes withdrawl if on full opiod agonist
what does tramadol do?
opiod agonist
inhibits 5HT and NE reuptake

for?
ADE?
chronic pain

decreases seizure threshold
first-line trigeminal neuralgia?
carbamezepine
gabapentin used for?
peripheral neuropathy

bipolar dz
phenobarb used first line for?
seizures in pregnant woman and children
first line for prophylaxis of seizures?
phenytoin

sedation
tolerance
dependance
ethosuximide used for?
epilepsy

ADE?
fatigue
GI distress
HA
what does phenytoin do?
dep blockade of Na channels

inc refractory period

inhibit of glut release from excit presynap nuron

used for?
tonic-clonic seizures

class IB anti-arrythmics
phenytoin tox?
nystagmus
ataxia
diplopia
sedation
SLE-like sx

in kids?
gingival hyperplasia in kids
hirsutism
megaloblastic anemia
teratogenic/careful with P450
what do barb do?
facilitate GABA action by inc duration of Cl opening so less neuron firing
thiopental used for what?
to induce anesthesia
what do you do for barbit overdose?
symptom mgmt
assist resp
raise BP
what are bad valproic acid sx?
hepatotox (measure LFT)
NTD
weight gain
no go for preg
2 epilepsy drugs that cause steven-johnson syd?
lamotrignine
carbamazepine
one benzo that has a diff name?
chlordiazepoxide
how do benzos work?
facilitate GABA action by inc frequency of Cl- channel openings

decrease REM Sleep
barbits vs benzos on GABA action
barbits: increase duration of GABA action keeping Cl channels open longer

benzos: increase GABA by incre frequency of Cl- channel openings
what are a short-acting benzo?
triazolam
oxazepam
midazolam

makes them?
most addictive
drugs for status epilepticus?
lorazepam and diazepam
alc withdrawl tx with?
benzos [DTs]

what is benzo overdose tx?

high solubility means?
increased potency, but slower induction
increased blood solubility means?
incr blood/gas partition coeff
increase solubility
slower onset of action
what does increased av conc gradient mean?
