2) pre-term labour
Angiotensin 2 Receptor Blockers (ARBs) are what type of drug?
Correct Answers blocks angiotension 2 receptors... diuretic type
effect
ARBs ADRs Correct Answers less angioedema, cough and
hyperkalemia
ARBs Drug Interactions Correct Answers antihypertensives
,ARBs MOA Correct Answers blocks AG2 resulting in dilation
of arterioles and veins. reduces release of aldosterone so
increase in Na and H20 excretion

increased HR, constipation, urinary retention, xerostomia,
anhidrosis, blurred vision and photophobia
Atropine Contraindications Correct Answers acute angle-
closure glaucoma, pulmonary conditions, cardiac conditions, GI
conditions, and cautioned in the elderly
Atropine Drug Interactions Correct Answers drugs that cross
react with M-receptors (TCAs, antihistamines), herbal
medications (aloe, sienna), nicotinic antagonists, and
neuromuscular blockers
Atropine is what kind of drug? Correct Answers General
Muscarinic Antagonist
Atropine Therapeutic Indications Correct Answers 1) Pre-
anesthetic medication (drys up secretions)
2) produces mydriasis
3) bradycardia (used to increase HR)
4) intestinal hyperactivity
5) overactive bladder
6) antidote to cholinergic crisis
