Cards

Term
Acetylcholine (miochol)
Definition
only high IV doses result in short term effects because it is rapidly hydrolyzed by cholinesterases
Term
Acetylcholine (miochol)
Definition
used for ocular surgery
direct into anterior chamber to decrease IOP and produce miosis
20 min effect
Term
Acetylcholine (miochol)
Definition
sweat spot test: autonomic neuropathy in diabetics
(subdermal idodide produces black spots)
Term
Methacholine (provocholine)
Definition
lasts longer than ACh
inhaled in nebulized solutions of methacholine chloride causes bronchoconstriction in dx airway hypersensitivity
Term
Carbachol (miostat)
Definition
opthamalic drops to reduce IOP in glaucoma or ocular hypertension
Term
Carbachol (miostat)
Definition
intracameral instillation to produces miosis in ocular surgery
decreases IOP
Term
Carbachol (miostat)
Definition
significant nicotinic activity
Term
Carbachol (miostat)
Definition
adverse effects (GI and cardio) if given systemically, therefore limited to opthamalic applications
Term
Bethanechol (urecholine)
Definition
no nicotinic activity
Term
Bethanechol (urecholine)
Definition
increases GI and GU tone and motility
Term
Bethanechol (urecholine)
Definition
given orally or subQ
Term
Bethanechol (urecholine)
Definition
promotes emptying of bladder in non-obstructive urinary retention
Term
Bethanechol (urecholine)
Definition
only choline ester given systemically, so most likely to give systemic side effects
Term
Muscarine
Definition
isolated from the mushroom Amanita muscaria
once used in neurohumoral therapy\
no clinical uses today
Term
Pilocarpine (salagenor pilocar)
Definition
teritiary amine UNCHARGED can cross BBB
Term
Pilocarpine (salagenor pilocar)
Definition
longer acting than choline esters, but not as potent
Term
Pilocarpine (salagenor pilocar)
Definition
topical application to eye = rapid miosis and accomodation
lasts 4-8 hours
Term
Pilocarpine (salagenor pilocar)
Definition
initial tx open angle glaucoma: decreases IOP
Term
Pilocarpine (salagenor pilocar)
Definition
do not use if IOP is > 45 mmHg bc angle will reduce further and worsen attack
Term
Pilocarpine (salagenor pilocar)
Definition
reverse sympathomimetic myadriatics used for eye exams
Term
Pilocarpine (salagenor pilocar)
Definition
oral: increase saliva
useful for XEROSTOMIA with radiation therapy of head, sjorgrens syndrome
Term
Pilocarpine (salagenor pilocar)
Definition
side effects restricted eye: myopia, blurred, ciliary spasm
systemic: sweat, salivation excess
cardio: sinus tachycardia and HTN
overdose: bradycardia and AV block
Term
Cevimeline (evoxac)
Definition
M3 and M1
orally for xerostomia
Term
Nicotine
Definition
Nreceptors located at all autonomic ganglia, skeletal muscle, and CNS
Term
Nicotine
Definition
can activate or inhibit nicotinic ACh receptors
(activation followed by desensitization)
Term
Nicotine
Definition
increase GI tone and motility
Term
Nicotine
Definition
acutely increases HR and BP via sympathetic ganglia stimulation and stimulation of adrenal medulla secretion of epinephrine
Term
Nicotine
Definition
toxic at small doses: nausea, vomiting, dizzy, diarrhea, weakness, rapid heart beat
Term
Varenecline (chantix)
Definition
partial agonist at neuronal nicotinic receptors
Term
Varenecline (chantix)
Definition
neuropsychiatric changes: hostile, agitation, depressed, suicidal,
Term
Varenecline (chantix)
Definition
stimulates receptors in brain and blocks actions of nicotine at same time
Term
Edrophonium
Definition
evaulate efficacy of myasthenia gravis therapy with pyridostigmine
diagnose myasthenia gravis
Term
Physostigmine
Definition
carbamate (intermediate 30 min-6hr)
opthamalic solution causes miosis, accomodation, and decrease IOP for 2 hours (but pilocarpine is more effective)
Term
Neostigmine
Definition
used with myasthenia gravis to alleviate urinary retention and paralytic ileus
Term
Neostigmine
Definition
used after anesthesia to reverse neuromuscular blockade
Term
Neostigmine
Definition
synthetic carbamate with quarternary ammonium preventing CNS entry
Term
Physostigmine
Definition
carbamate that can cross BBB
Term
Pyridostigmine
Definition
neostigmine with longer duration: 3-6 hours
used for myasthenia gravis
Term
Ambenonium
Definition
4-8 hours
myasthenia gravis
quaternary ammonium = no CNS effects
Term
Demecarium
Definition
quaternary ammonium= no CNS effects
opthamalic drops glaucoma 4-6 hrs
Term
Carbaryl
Definition
carbamate insecticide used to treat lice
Term
Donepezil
Definition
hydrophobic, high affinity for AChE (makes it better for AD)
mild-severe alzheimers symptom management
Term
Rivastigmine
Definition
transdermal
parkinson's with demetia
Term
Galantamine
Definition
devrived from daffodils
no hepatotoxicity
mild-moderate alzheimers
Term
Tacrine
Definition
rarely used due to hepatotoxicity
Term
Echothiophate
Definition
unique organophosphate: low lipid solubility, so not systemically abosorbed when applied topically
tx glaucoma when other agents fail
100 hrs
Term
Malathion and Parathion
Definition
rapidly metabolized by birds and mammals to non-toxic metabolites. does not occur in insects and fish, making it an effective and safe insecticide
Term
Nerve gas agents
(sarin, soman, tabun, VX)
Definition
poisoning causes miosis, gland hypersecretion, sweating, and flaccid paralysis, fatique, seizure, coma, resp failure, irritable, giddniness, amnesia, ataxia,
Term
