Furosemide and urine effects
Loop diuretic
Acts on NKCC2 channels in the thick ascending limb
Will cause urinary excretion of sodium chloride, potassium, calcium and protons (acidifying the urine)
Loops Lose calcium
In need of diuresis, but allergic to sulfa drugs
ethacrynic acid- same effect as furosemide
furosemide = sulfa drug!
diuretic used in acute exacerbation of CHF (pulmonary edema)
furosemide (loop)
____ + spironolactone = hyperkalemia
ACE inhibitor (such as enalopril)
other SE of ACE: CAPTOPRIL
cough
angioedema
pregnancy issues
taste changes
hypOtension
proteinuria
rash
increased renin
lower angiotensin 2
Typical antipsychotics
long term use= tardive dyskinesia
haloperidol
fluphenazine
trifluoperazine
BDZ mechanism of action (diazepam)
increasing FREQUENCY of chloride channels associated with GABA receptors, inhibiting neuronal firing
absence seizure treatment
T type calcium channel blockers: ethosuximide, valproic acid
beta 1 selective antagonists
acebutolol
betaxolol
esmolol
atenolol
metoprolol

useful in cardiac + pulm conditions
Pre-surgical treatment of pheochromocytoma
Phenoxybenzamine- non-selective alpha-antagonist
longer acting than phentolamine
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: cause and mechanism
antibody response to heparin and platelet factor IV...antibodies try to clear platelets (thrombocytopenia), but results in thrombus formation and hypercoagulable state (platelets clump together- fewer in serum, but clots formed)
treat with direct thrombin inhibitor
Direct thrombin inhibitors
lepirudin, bivalirudin, argatroban
Cimetidine
H2 antagonist used in treatment of heart burn and GERD
SE: headaches, confusion, anti-androgen, p450 inhibition, thrombocytopenia
Misoprostol
prostoglandin E1 analogue used to prevent ulcers with NSAID use
works on parietal cells to inhibit acid secretion and promote mucus/bicarb secretion
Also used as abortifacient outside US
Odansetron, dolasetron, granisetron
anti-nausea meds
serotonin antagonists
SE: mild fatigue, constipation, urinary retension, dizziness, headache
Clarithromycin
macrolide antibiotic associated with cholestatic hepatitis
irreversibly binds 50S subunit of bacterial ribosome- used to treat gram positive infections (Legionnaire's, syphilis, pneumonia)
SE: cholestatic hepatitis, general GI discomfort, eosinophilia, skin rashes
IV SE: thrombophlebitis
Doxycycline
Tetracycline
binds 30S bacterial subunit, blocking bacterial protein translation
SE: GI distress, tooth discoloration, photosensitivity
Octreotide
somatostatin analogue, growth hormone secretion inhibitor
reduces secretion of gastrin, CCK, and secretin, vasoactive intestinal peptide
reduces secretion of pancreatic fluids (reducing abdominal pain in chronic pancreatitis)
used in treatment of acromegaly and chronic pancreatitis
cholecytstokinin (CCK)
synthesized in the duodenal I cells
secreted to reduce gastic acid secretion, slow release of chyme in to the duodenum, promote pancreatic enzyme secretion and induce gallbladder contraction
Secretin
released by S cells in response to duodenal fatty acids and acidity
stimulates bicarb secretion by the pancreas to maintain duodenal pH
Glucose-dependent insulinotrophic peptide
decreases gastric proton secretion
increases insulin secretion
