Controls gastric acid secretion and stimulates cardiac muscle?
H2 receptor
Where are H3 and H4 receptors found?
CNS

Immune system (eosinophils)
used to be used for testing of bronchial hyperactivity and testing gastric acid secretion, but NO LONGER used?
histamine - we mainly used anti-histamines
Histamine has opposite effects on smooth muscle than ___ which is used in life saving anaphylaxis?
epi
___ is useful in asthma prophylaxis (blocks degranulation of mast cells)
cromolyn
which H1 receptor is More lipophilic? 1st of 2nd generation?
1st is more lipophilic

2nd is less lipophilic
Can be used as anti-emetic, parkinson's disease, type-1-hypersensitivity, allergic dermatoses?
H1 receptor antagonists
Can be used for antiparkinsonism (suppresses extrapyramidal symptoms associated with antipsychotic drugs)
dephenhydramine (H1 1st gen)
used to reduce allergic rxns and is very sedating?
diphenhydramine (h1 1st gen)
What drug can potentiate CNS depressants like opiates so you actually need less optiods?
diphenhydramine (h1 1st gen)
Used exclusively for prevention of motion sickness? It's salt anyways
dimenhydranate (dramamine) 1st Gen h1
a drug that is a potent local anesthetic, sedation, and anti-emetic. also weak dopamine antagonist?
promethazine (H1 1st gen)
that is phenergan
SE include neuroleptic malignant syndrome; produces alpha-blockage; orthostatic HypoTension; tachy; dizz
Promethazine (h1 1st gen)

it is phenergan
used mainly to treat general anxiety and reduce alcohol withdrawl?
hydroxyzine (1st gen H1)
What the major difference between H1 1st and 2nd gen antagonists?
2nd generation has much less sedation effects
Are 1st or 2nd generation antihistamines more selective for H1 receptors?
2nd generations are - thats why less sedation b/c don't go to brain
What drug has double the half-life of the 2nd gen H1 Loratadine (clairitin)?
desloratadine (clarinex)
Again where do H1 and H2 act?
H1 = smooth muscle and CNS

H2 = gastric mucosa and cardiac stimulant
H2 receptors mainly act on ___ and have few side effects except what drug?
GI mucosa (blocks g-acid)
