1 and 2. ondansetron, granisetron=5HT3 antagonists 3. Prochlorperazine-D2 antagonist 4. metoclopramide-5HT, prokinetic
where does scopolamine act to reduce vomiting, when is it indicated
anti-cholinergic agent, acts in the inner ear and vomiting center of the medulla, used for motion sickness
anti-cholinergic agent that acts in the inner ear and vomiting center, used prophylatically to prevent motion sickness, batch or injected.

where does dimenhydrinate act to prevent vomiting. when is it used
H1 blocker, works in vomiting center of medulla, used for motion sickenss and post op
an H1 blocker used to treat motion sickness and post-op nausea, and vestibular disorders
dimenhydrinate
where do ondansetron and granisetron act to prevent vomiting, when are they used
5HT3 receptors in the CTZ and vagal afferents, used for chemotherapy, radiation, or post-op nausea
two 5HT3 receptor antagonists used to treat nausea associated with chemo, rad, post-op
ondansetron, granisetron
where does prochlorperazine act to prevent nausea. when is it used
D2 receptor antagonist, acts in CTZ,  some anti chonlinergic/ histamine activity general use
a D2 receptor antagonist used to treat general mild to moderate nausea, also has som anti cholineric/ histamine activity
prochlorperazine
where does dronabinol act to reduce vom? use?
THC receptor, used for chemo naus not tx'ed with other drugs, many side effects (weed)
acts on the THC receptor to reduce nausea in chemo pts
dronabinol
where does dexamethasone act  to reduce vom? use?
glucocorticoid, has anti-emetic effect when given with other drugs, used in chemo
a glucocorticoid that has anti-emetic effects when used in combo with others in chemo
dexamethasone
where does aprepitant act to reduce vomiting? use?
substance P/NK receptor antagonist, use in combo for acute and dealyed naus w/ chemo, post-op
a substance P receptor antagonist used in combo for chemo and post op nausea
aprepitant
where does metoclopramide act to reduce vomiting. What are it's other uses
prokinetic agent, D2 antagonist, 5HT in CTZ, promotes gastric emptying by enhancing Ach release in myenteric plexus used for mild to moderate naus/vom, diabetic induced gastroparesis, GERD, best with GI motility disordrs
a prokinetic agent D2 receptor antagonist, 5HT antagonist used for  mild to moderate naus/vom, diabetic induced gastroparesis, GERD, best with GI motility disordrs
metoclopramide
where does erythormycin act to tx diabetic gastroparesis
activates motlin receptors in gastric antrum and duodenum
activates motilin receptors in gastric antrum and duodenum, used to tx diabetic gastroparesis
erythromycin
two drugs used to tx diabetic gastroparesis
metoclopramide (D2/5HT antagonist, enhances Ach release), erythromycin (activates motilin receptors)
4 classes of drugs used to treat diarrhea give examples and use
1. opoid derivaties-Loperamide, Diphenoxylate, 2. bulk forming agents 3. antibiotics-Bismuth subsalicylate 4. Octreotide-somatostatin analog for carcionoid syndrome associated diarrhea
loperamide use
opioid derivative, anti-diarrhea, best agent b/c poorly penetrates CNS
diphenoxylate use
opiod derivative anti-diarrhea, note abuse potential, preps include subthereapeutic atropine
how does bismuth subsaliylate tx diarrhea
displaces intestinal bacteria from mucus into lumen=>lysis, may be antibacterial, good for traveler's diarrhea, tx H. pylori, causes black stools
used for traveler's diarrhea, displaces intestinal bacteria and may be anti-bacterial
bismuth subsalicylate
octreotide use
somatostatin analog, physiologically antagonizes hormone secretion, tx carcinoid syndrome associated diarrhea
a somatostatin analog used to tx diarrhea associated with carcinoid syndrome
octreotide
how does magnesium hydroxide treat constipation
causes osmotic water rentention to increase bulk and intestinal peristalsis, contraindicated w/ electrolyte imbalance, renal or cardiac disease
an antacid that is also used to Tx constipation, causes osmotic water retention to increase bulk and peristalsis
magnesium hydroxide (Mg=Make Go)
how does lactulose Tx constipation
non-abs, disaccharide, hydrolyzed to organic acid in intestine, osmotically pulls water into intestine
non-abs, disaccharide, hydrolyzed to organic acid in intestine, osmotically pulls water into intestine
lactulose
how does PEG tx constipation
