Pharmacology Drugs Lecture 6

Front 1

Bethanechol (Urecholine)

Back 1

Used to treat urinary retention by strengthening the ability of the muscles to contract. Cholinergic Drug.

Front 2

Atropine Sulfate

Back 2

Anticholinergic drug. Blocks muscarinic effects. Preoperatively lowers secretions, TX for bradycardia (blocks vagus nerve and raises HR and BP). (Watch out for paradoxical bradycardia) .5mg-2mg IV

Front 3

Dopamine (Intropin)

Back 3

Causes vasodilation of the renal and mesenteric arteries. Increases renal blood flow. (Low Dose 2) Beta1 stimulation (Med Dose 5) High doses 10 affects Alpha (Vasoconstriction)

Front 4

Norepinephrine (Levophed)

Back 4

Stimulates alpha receptors causing vasoconstriction and a reduced blood flow through the kidney and other visceral organs. Used to restore blood pressure (IV)

Front 5

Epinephrine (Adrenalin)

Back 5

stimulates alpha and beta receptors. Stimulates the heart, force of cxn and CO, smooth muscle of lung produces bronchodilation. Cardiac Arrest or Anaphylaxic situation. or Bronchial asthma.

Front 6

Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)

Back 6

OTC drug. for congestion, bronchodialation.

Front 7

Dobutamine (Dobutrex)

Back 7

Beta activity cardia stimulant +chronotropic + inotropic for low CO and low SV

Front 8

Albuterol (Proventil)

Back 8

given to asthma, COPD, Bronchitis unerlying resp. problems. Beta2 agonist

Front 9

Metaproterenol (Alupent)

Back 9

given to asthma, COPD, Bronchitis unerlying resp. problems. Beta2 agonist

Front 10

Back 10

For hypertension, angina pectoris, MI dysrrythmias, migraines - non-selective

Front 11

Nadolol (Corgard)

Back 11

for hypertension, angina pectoris - non-selective beta blocker

Front 12

Atenolol (Tenormin)

Back 12

for Hypertension, angina pectoris, MI (Beta1 specific)

Front 13
