◉ EXAM 2 DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer: ..........
◉ Vasopressin (pitressin)
Answer: The antidiuretic action of vasopressin is ascribed to
increasing reabsorption of water by the renal tubules
40u IV
Adverse = cardiac ischemia/angina
◉ DDAVP (desmopressin)
Answer: Prevents or controls thirst and frequent urination caused
by diabetes insipidus and certain brain injuries.
Works on posterior pituitary....Treatment for: diabetes insipidus,
bedwetting(nocturia), brain injuries, hemophilia A w/ some factor
VIII production
nasally, IV, oral/subling tab
up to 20 hours
,◉ Synthroid
Answer: Treats hypothyroidism. Also treats an enlarged thyroid
gland (goiter) and thyroid cancer.
◉ Cortef
Answer: Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone and
cortisone), which also have salt-retaining properties, are used as
replacement therapy in adrenocortical deficiency states. Their
synthetic analogs are primarily used for their potent anti-
inflammatory effects in disorders of many organ systems.
Glucocorticoids cause profound and varied metabolic effects. In
addition, they modify the body's immune responses to diverse
stimuli.
◉ Hydrocortisone
Answer: Hydrocortisone belongs to the family of medications known
as corticosteroids. It is used to treat many different conditions. It
works by reducing swelling, inflammation, and irritation or as a
replacement when the body does not make enough cortisol.
Hydrocortisone is more commonly used to treat allergic reactions,
some skin conditions, severe asthma, lupus, and arthritis.
It can also be used to treat steroid deficiency in the body, certain
blood disorders, certain types of cancer, multiple sclerosis, and
ulcerative colitis.
◉ Cortisol
,Answer: When people are under stress, levels of cortisol hormone
rise. Chronic stress can result in chronically high levels of cortisol,
which can lead to symptoms like weight gain, memory problems,
high blood pressure, and other health problems. The stress release
of cortisol is designed to enable the flight or fight response with a
quick burst of energy, but when people are in a state of constant high
stress, levels of the hormone never have a chance to fall back down
to normal levels. This is one reason why treatments for chronic
stress include exercises and activities that are designed to reduce
stress levels, allowing production of this hormone to slow down.
◉ Tapazole
Answer: Treats hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone
produced by the thyroid gland).
◉ PTU
Answer: Treats Graves' disease and hyperthyroidism (too much
thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland) in patients who have
already been treated with other medicines (such as methimazole)
that did not work well.
◉ H2 Blockers (-tidine)
Answer: Ranitidine
◉ PPI's (-prazole)
, Answer: Omeprazole
◉ Antacids
Answer: ...
◉ Maalox
Answer: 30mL QID
◉ Mylanta
Answer: This medication is used to treat the symptoms of too much
stomach acid such as stomach upset, heartburn, and acid
indigestion. Aluminum and magnesium antacids work quickly to
lower the acid in the stomach. Liquid antacids usually work
faster/better than tablets or capsules.
◉ Mylanta
Answer: This medication works only on existing acid in the stomach.
It does not prevent acid production. It may be used alone or with
other medications that lower acid production (e.g., H2 blockers such
as cimetidine/ranitidine and proton pump inhibitors such as
omeprazole).
This medication can cause nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or
headache
