used for glaucoma or atropine overdose
physostigmine
echothiophate
glaucoma
Alzheimer's treatment
donezepil
Cholinomimetic agents:
1) Direct agonists ("chol")
2) Indirect agonists...aka anticholinesterases (-stigmine)

What do you look out for?
COPD, asthma or peptic ulcer exacerbation
cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning is due to?
organophosphates that irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase

what are the symptoms?
antidote?
DUMBBELSS (Ach makes you leaky)

Diarrhea, Urination, Miosis, bradycardia, bronchospasm, excitation, lacrimation, sweating and salivation; antidote: atropine+pralidoxime
muscarinic antagonists: "trop"
make you less leaky (dry as a bone, mad as a hatter, red as a beet...)
mydriasis and cycloplegia
atropine, tropicamide
used in parkinsons
benztropine

(park the benz)
motion sickness or end of life care
scopolamine
Asthma, COPD
ipratropium
reduces urgency in mild cystitis and reduces bladder spasm
oxybutynin, glycopyrrolate
peptic ulcer treatment
methylscopalamine, propantheline
toxicity of atropine?
red as a beet, hot as a hare...

acute angle-closure glaucoma in elderly, urinary retention in BPH, hyperthermia in infants
sympathomimetic used for septic shock
norepinephrine
symphathomimetic used for cardiogenic shock
dobutamine
used to stop bad nosebleeds (also dilates pupils and vasocontricts)
phenylephrine
reduces premature contractions
ritodrine or terbutaline

alpha or beta?
beta 2 agonist
acute asthma?
chronic asthma?
acute: albuterol and metaproteronal
chronic: salmeterol

alpha or beta?
beta-2 agonist with side effect of increasing HR due to some B1 action
nasal decongestion, urinary incontinence, hypotension
ephedrine or tyramine
vasoconstriction and local anestethia
cocaine
when do you see reflex bradycardia? tachy?
reflex brady in compensation for an increased BP due to alpha-1 agonist
reflecx tachy in compensation for B1 effects (drop in BP)
used against hypertension (esp of renal disease)
clonidine, alpha-methydopa

how do they work?
centrally acting alpha-2 agonists which decrease central adrenergic outflow
pheochromocytoma
phenoxybenzamine first (alpha blocker), then give a B-blocker

toxicity?
reflex tachycardia and orthostatic hypotension
who do you give phentolamine to?
patients on MAO inhibitors who eat tyramine containing foods
used for BPH who also have HTN
prazosin, terazosin, doxazosin
an alpha 2 blocker that treats depression
mirtapazine
all the functions of B-blockers?
HTN,
Angina,
MI,
SVT,
CHF, glaucoma
B1 blockers are used when?
in pts with comorbid pulm dz

which are these?
a thru m:
acebutol, betaxolol, esmolol, atenolol, metoprolol
non -selective B antagonists?
N-Z: timolol, propanolol, nadolol, pindolol
non selective (vasodilatory) alpha and beta blockers?
carvedilol, labetalol
