ATI The Neurological System Part 1 What two types of drugs treat muscle spasms? Centrally acting muscle relaxants and peripherally acting muscle relaxants. Baclofen Lioresal What is the expected pharmacologic action of centrally acting muscle relaxants? Enhance the inhibitory effects of GABA on receptors in the spinal cord, resulting in suppression of hyperactive reflexes. Adverse drug reactions of centrally acting muscle relaxants. Drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, vomit...

ATI The Neurological System (Part 1) A HCP is caring for a patient who is about to begin taking pramipexole (mirapex) to treat Parkinson's disease. The HCP should recognize that which of the following laboratory tests require monitoring? Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) CPK is an enzyme found in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscles. Patients taking pramipexole can develop muscle weakness with a lack of energy, creating a situation that can be more problematic for patients than their original...
