| end in -olol |
|
Beta blockers
|
| Atropine; decrease salivation, increase heart rate, is an example of a/an _______ class of drug. |
|
anticholinergics
|
| Atenolol blocks what receptors in order to treat hypertension? |
|
B1
|
| Nadolol |
|
Blocks beta, manages hypertension and angina, don't use in people with asthma or COPD because blocks beta 2.
|
| Detrol LA |
|
Muscarinic blocker, increases urination, side effects: dry eyes/mouth, headache, n/v/d, gas, weight gain, UTI, and abdominal pain.
|
| Neostigmine |
|
Increases muscle strength in myasthenia gravis, used to prevent/ treat post-op urine retention, reduces miosis.
|
| A1 blockers are commonly used for _______. |
|
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
|
| What are side effects of Atenolol? |
|
Drowsiness, dizziness, diarrhea, cool extremities, leg pain, fainting/weakness, nausea/diarrhea.
|
| Orthostatic hypertension, cardiac dysrhythmias, flush, hypotension and reflex tachycardia are all possible side effects of... |
|
A1 blockers
|
| A patient with cardiac dysrhythmias, narrow angle glaucoma or cardiogenic shock should not be prescribed what class of drugs? |
|
Adrenergic
|
|
|
| Indirect cholinergics are used cautiously in people with what conditions? |
|
Bradycardia, asthma, ulcers and Graves.
|
| What are 5 areas where Cholinergic receptors are located? |
|
Bladder, eyes, lungs, heart, and blood vessels.
|
| If your patient has lung disease and you administer a beta blocker, should it block beta, or beta 2? |
|
Beta 1 because blocking Beta 2 would cause bronchoconstriction.
|
| Indirect cholinergics are used primarily to treat... |
|
myasthenia gravis, glaucoma, and Alzheimer's.
|
| Decreased urination, increased heart rate, decreased peristalsis, dilates pupils, decreases salivation, and decreases muscle tone are desired effects of _______. |
|
anticholinergics
|
| What are 8 common side effects of adrenergics? |
|
Hypertension, tachycardia, palpitations, dysrhythmias, tremors, dizziness, urinary difficulties, nausea and vomiting.
|
| Clonidine and Methyldopa act on adrenergic _______ receptors, decreasing bp. |
|
A2
|
| A2 receptors work on... |
|
Vessels of smooth muscles. Dilates blood vessels, lowers bp, and lowers peristalsis.
|
| B2 receptors are located mainly... |
|
lungs, skeletal muscles, and uterine muscles.
|
| What are the 3 major actions of anticholinergic drugs? |
|
Increases heart rate (bradycardia), decreases GI motility (IBS), and decreases skeletal muscle rigidity (Parkinson's).
