convulsons

coma

Term
Direct acting cholinergic agonists
Definition

acetylcholine

betahenchol

carbachol

pilocarpine

Term
Which parasympathomimetic cannot cross the membrane and is quickly destroted by acetylcholinesterase so it has limited clinical use?
Definition
ACH
Term
Which cholinergic agonist was designed NOT to be destroyed by acetylcholinesterase?
Definition
bethanechol
Term
What is the duration of action of bethanechol?
Definition
about an hour
Term
what is the mechanism of action of bethanechol?
Definition
contraction of bladder detrusor and relax sphincter
Term
what are the indications of bethanechol?
Definition
urinary retention after surgeroy or postpartum
Term
A person has sweating, salivation, flushing, decreased blood pressure, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bronchospasm...who did it?
Definition
bethanechol
Term
Whose contraindications are physical obstrution, asthma, and peptic ulcers?
Definition
bethanechol
Term
how can bethanechol be given?
Definition
oral tablets and injection for subq
Term
Which drug is considered as a third-line agent when other agents are not effective?

Definition
carbachelo
Term
which drug is more resistant to cholinesterase than pilocarpine?
Definition
carbechol
Term

Definition
pilocarpine
Term

Which drugs indications are glaucoma- IOP decreases in 1 hour

DOC for EMERGENCY lowering of both wide and narrow angle glaucoma?

Definition
pilocarpine
Term
A patient has CNS disturbances; miosis with decreased vision and brow aches that are not related to a decrease in IOP...who did it?
Definition
pilocarpine
Term
What is another name for reversible cholinesterase inhibitors (anticholinesterases)

Definition
BOTH
Term
Where does acetylcholinestrase cleave ACH to acetate and choline?
Definition

in the pre and post -synaptic/junctional cleft

this prolongs duration of endogenous ACH

Term

physostigmine
Term
What are some anticholinergic overdoses that are treated with physostigmine?
Definition

atropine

tricyclics

phenothiazines

Term
Pt comes in and displays vomiting, salivation, bradycardia, and respiratory arrest...who did it?
Definition
physostigmine with systemic use
Term
Which reversible cholinergic agonist can enter CNS and may cause convulsions in high dose?
Definition
physostigmine
Term
Whose MOA is anticholinesterase agent that does not enter CNS?
Definition
neostigmine
Term
