Drug Nomenclature 2

used to treat HTN, heart failure and kidney disease, vasoconstrictor

acetylcholinesterase inhibitors

produce effects similar to nor epi

blocks stimulation of mineralcorticoid receptors by aldosterone, thus reducing high blood pressure by preventing sodium reabsorption

gentamicin, tobramycin and related antibiotic effective against gram negitive microorganisms, noted for potentially dangerous toxicity

narcotic and non narcotic, relieve pain without producing loss of consciousness or reflex activity

produce masculine effects

reduces the acidity og GI contents

used to prevent or treat attacks of angina pectoris

to treat infections cause by pathogenic microbes

block acetylcholine in the parasympathetic nervouse system, cholinergic blocking agents antispasmodics

used to reduce carb, fat and protein metabolism

produce sleep

block monoamine oxidase preventing degradation and prolonging norepi and serotonin

steroids that cause kidneys to retain sodium

constriction of the iris

reduce thickness and stickiness of pulmonary secretions acting directly on the mucous plugs to dissolve them

relieve muscle spasms

cause dilation of the iris

skeletal muscle relaxant used to produce relaxation during anesthesia, ease endotracheal intubation, reduce side effects of general anesthesia

metabolize nitric oxide, potent vasodilator

analgesic, antipyretic, antiinflammatory

what does NSAIDS mean?

prevent formation, enlargement and extension of blood clots

supress abnormal neurol activity of CNS, preventing seizures

used to treat allergy symtoms, can also treat motion sickness, insomnia

reduce serum cholesterol and or triglycerides

chem agents

prevent platelet clumping, most common ASA and plavix

supress cough

stimulate receptors within the tracheobronchial tree to relax and dilate passageways

inhibits epi and nor epi, used to treat angine, dysrhythmias, HTN, and gluacoma

inhibits calcium movement across cell membrane, used for dysrrhythmias, slow rate of contraction of the heart and cause vasodilation

interfere with the production of aqueous humor, reducing IOP in gluacoma

parasypathomimetics

secreted by adrenal cortex of adrenal gland

reduce swelling in nasal passage caused by cold or allergic rhinitis

increase the force of contraction and slow the heart rate, improving cardiac output. ex: digoxin

increase urine flow

centrally acting analgesic

subclass of NSAIDS, analgesics, anti inflammatory and antipyretic

produce relaxation and rest

antidepressant by blocking uptake of serotonin

prevents emesis during chemo, radiation and surgery

draw water into stool to soften

mimics epi nor epi and dopamine

dissolve blood clots

liquify mucus
