preoperative medication
motion sickness (b/c has best CNS vs. peripheral effects)
Term

Definition
Muscarinic Antagonist

-short duration of action
Clinical use:
parkinson's disease
mydriasis
cycloplegia
acute rhinitis
Term
Ipratropium Bromide
Definition
Muscarinic Antagonist

Clinical use:
parkinson's disease
mydriasis
cycloplegia
acute rhinitis
asthma/COPD
Term
Tiotropium bromide
Definition
Muscarinic Antagonist

Clinical use:

mydriasis
cycloplegia
acute rhinitis
asthma/COPD
Term
Tolterodine
Definition
Muscarinic Antagonist

Clinical use:
parkinson's disease
mydriasis
cycloplegia
acute rhinitis

overactive bladder or urge incontinence (from detrusor overactivity or instability)
Term
Fesoterodine
Definition
Muscarinic Antagonist

Clinical use:
parkinson's disease
mydriasis
cycloplegia
acute rhinitis

overactive bladder or urge incontinence (from detrusor overactivity or instability)
Term
Oxybutynin chloride
Definition
Muscarinic Antagonist

Clinical use:
parkinson's
mydriasis
cycloplegia
acute rhinitis

overactive bladder or urge incontinence (from detrusor overactivity or instability)
Term
what's the MOA for muscarinic antagonists?
Definition
competitive, reversible muscarinic blockers
Term
what's the order of blockade for muscarinic antagonists?
Definition
salivary, bronchial, sweat glands--> iris, ciliary m., heart-->bladder, gut-->gastric acid secretion
Term
what's the problem in using muscarinic antagonists to treat ulcers?
Definition
need high [ ]; too many side effects
Term
what drugs cause mydirasis?
Definition
Tropicamide; alpha1 agonist
Term
what is cycloplegia?
Definition
lens is fixed for far vision

-muscarinic receptors on ciliary m. are blocked and prevent ciliary m. from contracting
Term
How can muscarinic antaognists be used for acute rhinitis?
Definition
blocks muscarinic recpetors on nasopharyngeal glands and decreases secretion in the respiratory tract

(alpha1 agonist used for nasal congestion; reduced swelling; won't dry up secretions)
Term
what is the advantage of using ipratropium bromide as opposed to atropine?
Definition
won't be absorbed as well (because it's charged) so will have less systemic side effects
Term
Why would ipratropium bromide be used in COPD/asthma patients?
Definition
blocks muscarinic receptors and thus causes bronchodilation
Term
Would a B2 agonist or ipratropium bromide be better for asthma?
Definition
may have minimal bronchoconstriction from PS activity so ipratropium bromide < B2 agonist
Term
would a B2 agonist or ipratropium bromide be better for COPD?
Definition
ipratropium bromide=B2 agonist because may have significant PS mediated bronchoconstriction

Advantages of Ipratropium bromide:
-increase in cholinergic tone is a major reversible component of COPD
-usually less side effects than beta agonists (beta agonists would raise bp, etc)
Term
Which drug affects the brain the most and thus tends to be used most often?
Definition
scopolamine

scopolamine > atropine

-therapeutic doses of scopolamine can cause CNS depression-drowsiness, amnesia, fatigue, dreamless sleep
Term
what's the advantage of using atropine versus something that would increase HR (e.g. Epi)?
Definition
potentially less side effects (e.g. BP, etc)
Term
Atropine has no effect on ventricular arrhythmias. Why?
Definition
few M receptors in the ventricles
Term
How does scopolamine prevent motion sickeness?
Definition
vestibular apparatus--> M receptor in medulla (vomit center); blocks the M receptor and thus prevents motion sickness
Term
What drug class has contraindication of dry as a bone, blind as a bat, red as a beet, mad as a hatter?
Definition
muscarinic anatagonist


can get CNS toxicities:
-sedation or excitement
-disorientation, memory disturbances, dizziness, restlessness, hallucinations, delirium, confusion

scopolamine>atropine>>>>ipratropium
Term
what is narrow angle glacuoma a contraindication for?
Definition
muscarinic antagonists
