    Antipsychotics

    Antipsychotic medications reduce the

    psychotic symptoms ofschizophrenia and

    other mental illnesses, usually allowing a

    person to function more effectively and

    appropriately. Antipsychotic drugs are thebest treatment for schizophrenia right now,

    but they do not cure schizophrenia or

    ensure that there will be no further

    psychotic episodes Recognizing Side Effects to Report

    Alpha-Beta adrenergic agonist

    Indications and Usage

    Correction of hemodynamic imbalances

    present in shock syndrome after MI,

    trauma, endotoxic septicemia, open heart

    surgery, and renal failure or chronic

    cardiac decompensation (eg, CHF).

    Dopamine

    Dopamine HCl, a naturally occurring

    catecholamine, is an inotropic vasopressoragent.

    Inotropic

    Affecting the force of muscle contraction. An

    inotropic heart drug is one that affects the force

    with which the heart muscle contracts.

    16/76

    Dopamine pharmacology

    Stimulates beta-1 receptors in the heart,causing more complete and forceful

    contractions (inotropy). Also acts on alpha

    receptors (dose dependent) and has

    dopaminergic effects.

    Pharmacokinetics Distribution Widely distributed; does not cross the blood-

    brain barrier to a significant extent.

    Metabolism

    Metabolized in the liver, kidney, and plasma byMAO and catechol-O-methyltransferase to

    inactive compounds. Approximately 25% of

    dose is taken up in the adrenergic nerve

    terminals where it is hydrolyzed to

    norepinephrine.

  • 7/31/2019 PHARM ATI Review

    17/76

    Dopamine

    Elimination

    Half-life approximately 2 min.

    Approximately 80% excreted in the urine within

    24 h as metabolites; a very small amount

    excreted unchanged.

    Onset

    Within 5 min.

    Duration

    Less than 10 min.

    Coumadin Labs

    PT: prothrombin time...tells you if pt's

    coumadin is at a therapeutic level.

    If it's low or normal and the patient is on

    coumadin, then the dose is not therapeutic and

    needs to be increased. INR: international normalized ratio...still

    has to do with coumadin therapeutic level.

    When lab runs a PT you get INR results

    also. 2-3 is therapeutic. If it's a lot higher,the patient probably needs some vitamin K

    to counteract it so he won't start bleeding

    all over the place.

  • 7/31/2019 PHARM ATI Review

    22/76

    PTT (aPTT):

    (activated) partial thromboplastin

    time...tells you if patient on heparin is at a

    therapeutic level.

    If it's low or normal and the patient is on

    heparin, then the dose is not therapeutic andneeds to be increased. We use a sliding scale

    for heparin, increasing or decreasing the

    dosage based on APTT results.

  • 7/31/2019 PHARM ATI Review

    23/76

    Coumadin:

    anticoagulant that take several days to

    start working, so heparin is given at the

    same time till the coumadin level is

    therapeutic.

    Protamine: antidote for heparin (use is

    patient's APPT is sky high); works quickly.

    Vitamin K: antidote for coumadin; works

    slowly.

    Cholinesterase Inhibitors

    cholinergic crisis, a pronounced muscularweakness and respiratory paralysis caused by

    excessive acetylcholine, often apparent in

    patients suffering from myasthenia gravis as a

    result of overmedication with anticholinesterasedrugs.

    Cholinergic crises

    Overdosage of neostigmine can induce a cholinergic

    crisis. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting,

    diarrhea, excessive salivation and drooling, sweating

    (in animals with sweat glands), miosis, lacrimation,

    increased bronchial secretions, bradycardia or

    tachycardia, cardiospasm, bronchospasm,

    hypotension, muscle cramps and weakness, agi-

    tation, restlessness or paralysis.

  • 7/31/2019 PHARM ATI Review

    25/76

    anticholinesterases

    Neostigmine belongs to the group of

    medicines called anticholinesterases.

    It works by prolonging the action

    acetylcholine, which is found naturally in

    the body.

    It does this by inhibiting the action of the

    enzyme acetylcholinesterase.

    Acetylcholine stimulates a type of receptor

    called muscarinic receptors. When

    stimulated, these receptors have a range

    of effects.

    What is Neostigmine used for?

    Abnormal muscle weakness (myasthenia

    gravis)

    Difficulty in passing urine (urinary

    retention)

    Failure of function of part of the gut

    Selective Estrogen receptor

    modulators/SERMS

    Selective estrogen receptor modulators,

    called SERMs for short, block the effects

    of estrogen in the breast tissue. SERMs

    work by sitting in the estrogen receptors in

    breast cells. If a SERM is in the estrogenreceptor, there is no room for estrogen and

    it can't attach to the cell. If estrogen isn't

    attached to a breast cell, the cell doesn't

    receive estrogen's signals to grow andmultiply.

  • 7/31/2019 PHARM ATI Review

    33/76

    Selective Estrogen receptor

    modulators/SERMS

    Cells in other tissues in the body, such as

    bones and the uterus, also have estrogen

    receptors. But each estrogen receptor has a

    slightly different structure, depending on the

    kind of cell it is in. So breast cell estrogenreceptors are different from bone cell estrogen

    receptors and both of those estrogen receptors

    are different from uterine estrogen receptors.

    As their name says, SERMs are "selective"this means that a SERM that blocks estrogen's

    action in breast cells can activate estrogen's

    action in other cells, such as bone, liver, and

    uterine cells.

    Biphosphonates

    Medication Administration

    You take most bisphosphonates by mouth-

    every day, once or twice a week, or even

    once a month. Zoledronic acid is given

    intravenously, usually only once eachyear. One form of ibandronate is also

    given intravenously, usually every 3

    months.

    Etidronate (Didronel) is not approved bythe U.S. Food and Drug Administration

    (FDA) for osteoporosis. But it is used in

    Canada and Europe for this purpose.

    Digoxin

    Digoxin belongs to a class of medications

    called cardiac glycosides. It works by

    affecting certain minerals (sodium and

    potassium) inside heart cells. This reduces

    strain on the heart and helps it maintain a

    normal, steady, and strong heartbeat. Side effects

    Gastrointestinal Nausea, vomiting Neurological

    Blurred vision, visual hallucinations Cardiac

    Atrial tachycardia,

    Other Side Effects? Patients withhypokalemia, second-degree AV block, third-

    degree AV block, and patients with atrial

    fibrillation , who also have Wolfe-Parkinson-

    White syndrome should not be given digoxin.

    44/76

  • 7/31/2019 PHARM ATI Review

    45/76

    What is the mechanism of

    Digoxin?

    Digoxin inhibits the sodium/potassium

    ATPase pump resulting in increased

    intracellular sodium leading to impaired

    sodium/calcium exchange in increased

    intracellular calcium. This increased intracellular calcium is

    stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the

    cardiac muscle , resulting in increased

    calcium reserve stronger musclecontraction.

    Digoxin also potentiates the vagally

    mediated slowing of AV conduction and

    increased atrial ventricular block.

    Immunosuppressant Besides corticosteroids, the immunosuppressant medications

    most often used in patients with autoimmune diseases include: Azathioprine (Imuran), which is primarily used in

    autoimmune hepatitis and rheumatoid arthritis.

    Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), which is primarily used in

    systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune hemolytic

    anemia, Wegeners granulomatosis, and other forms of

    vasculitis. Cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral) is primarily used in

    psoriasis soriasis.suite101.com/article.cfm/psoriasis,

    rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes,

    myasthenia gravis, and scleroderma.

    Glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) is primarily used in

    treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

    Methotrexate is primarily used in rheumatoid arthritis and

    otherconnective tissue disorders

    Mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept) is used in scleroderma

    and systemic lupus erythematosus.

    Sirolimus (Rapamune) is used for the treatment of

    psoriasis.

    Immunosuppressant Drug Interactions

    The drug allopurinol used for gout may

    enhance the effects of azathioprine,

    Estrogens, androgens, cimetidine,

    erythromycin, and ketoconazole may

    increase the effects of cyclosporine. The risk of cancer increases in people on

    immunosuppressants who are on other

    medications that suppress the immune

    system including corticosteroids,chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide, and

    mercaptopurine.

    MEDICATIONS THAT INTERACT WITH

    TETRACYLINE

    Administration of a tetracycline with aluminum,calcium, or magnesium salts significantly

    decreases tetracycline serum concentrations.

    The proposed mechanism is chelation of

    tetracycline by the cation, forming an insoluble

    complex that is poorly absorbed from thegastrointestinal tract. The interaction has also

    been reported with parenteral doxycycline and

    oral antacids.

    Singulair-(montelukast)

    is used to prevent asthma attacks in adults

    and children as young as 12 months old.

    Singulair is a leukotriene (loo-koe-TRY-

    een) inhibitor. Leukotrienes are chemicals

    your body releases when you breathe inan allergen (such as pollen). These

    chemicals cause swelling in your lungs

    and tightening of the muscles around your

    airways, which can result in asthmasymptoms.

    Lithobid-DOSING:

    Doses vary widely and are adjusted basedon measurements of the levels of lithium in

    the blood.

    Recommended blood levels are 06-1.2

    mEq/L.

    Early in therapy, dose adjustments are

    made as often as every 5 to 7 days to

    establish the correct dose.

    Most patients require 900-1200 mg daily in2-3 divided doses.

    Patients with kidney diseases excrete less

    lithium from the body and, therefore,

    require lower doses.
