Cards

Term
octerotide: duration, type of drug, function, use
Definition
long acting
somatostatin analog
inhibits GH, glucagon, insulin, gastrin

acromeagly, carcinoid
Term
desmopressin: type of drug, MOA, use
Definition
ADH analog
V2 agonist

central diabetes insipidus (ADH replacement)
Term
tolvaptam: MOA, use
Definition
V2 blocker in CD

SIADH
Term
what drugs are used for insulin replacement therapy, how
Definition
lispro: mealtime
glargine: basal
Term
glipizide: MOA, SE
Definition
K channel blocker leads to increased insulin release from B cells

SE: hypoglycemia, weight gain
Term
metformin: MOA, SE
Definition
inhibit gluconeogenesis in liver

no hypoglycemia or weight gain
SE: rare lactic acidosis in pt with renal dysfunction because drug accumulates
Term
pioglutazone: MOA, SE
Definition
insulin sensitizer: stimulate PPARy receptors which increase number of insulin receptors on many organs (like skeletal M)

edema, weight gain
Term
what diabetes drugs target pancreas, MOA
Definition
GLP-1 is an incretin that causes insulin release
exenatide is a GLP-1 analog
incretins are metabolized to inactive by DPP-4
sitaglipdin is a DPP-4 antagonist
Term
levothyroxine: MOA, use
Definition
T4 agonist needs to be converted to T3

hypothyroid
Term
methinizaole: MOA, SE, use
Definition
blocks all the steps in thyroid hormone synthesis

iodide conversion to iodine via thyroid peroxidase
peroxidase conversion to MIT/DIT making T3/4

SE: agranulocytosis

TX: hyperthyroid
Term
I131: MOA, use, SE
Definition
thyroid sucks it up and B radiation destories thyroid

TX hyperthyroid

not for pregnant and kids
Term
explain the glucocordicoud/mineral corticoid activity of the three steroids
Definition
hydrocortizone: 1:1
dexamethasone: 1:0
flucortizone: 10:250
Term
use of hydrocortizone
Definition
adrenal insufficiency
congenital adrenal hypothyroid
after cushing surgery
Term
steroid SE
Definition
aldosterone: Na/water retention, edema, increased BP

glucacorticoid: cushing like, ulcers
Term
use of conjugated equine estrogen
Definition
hormone replacement
Term
use of ethadol estradiol
Definition
oral contraceptive
Term
use hydroxy progesterone
Definition
IM contraceptive
Term
use nerethindrome
Definition
oral contracepitive
hormone replacement
Term
mifperistone: MOA, use
Definition
progesterone receptor blocker
abortion (when added with prostaglandins)
Term
finastride: MOA, use
Definition
5a reductase inhibitor stops testosterone conversion to DHT

BPH, balding
Term
when can't you use finastride
Definition
a1 blocker and a1A blocker both treat BPH
if pt needs to lower BP then don;t choose finasteride
Term
flutamide: MOA, use
Definition
androgen receptor blocker (used with GNRH agonist continous administration(

prostate cancer
Term
slidenafil: MOA, use
Definition
PDE3 inhibitor increases cAMP: relaxes, vasodilates, increases blood flow

erectile dysfunction
Term
SE slidenafil
Definition
dont take with nitrates or a blockers (which are also vasodilators and cause orthostatic hypotension)

hypotension

PDE6 inhibition causes blue green color blidness
Term
Ca gluconate: use
Definition
hypocalcemia (tetany, M spasms)
Term
calcitrol: MOA, use
Definition
1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D in active form

rickets, osteomalacia, osteoperosis
Term
alendronate: MOA, use, SE
Definition
decrease bone reabsorption

TX: osteoperosis DOC, pagets disease

SE: esophageal irritation (stay upright after taking)
Term
raloxifene: MOA, SE, TX
Definition
selective estrogen receptor modulator, agonist on bone, antagonist on breast and uterus

antagonist at uterus DOES NOT give increased risk of endometrial cancer (like tamoxifin)

TX: osteoperosis, breast cancer
