CNS drugs (antiepileptics, anesthetics) Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards
Flashcard 11: ropinirole
Answer: non-ergot dopamine agonist
Extra: Parkinson's disease dopamine agonist
Flashcard 12: pramipexole
Answer: non-ergot dopamine agonist
Extra: Parkinson's disease dopamine agonist
Flashcard 13: butorphanol
Answer: opioid
Extra: severe pain partial agonist at mu-opioid receptor, agonist at kappa-opioid receptor less respiratory depression than full opioid agonist, but not easily reversed with naloxone
Flashcard 14: tramadol
Answer: opioid
Extra: chronic pain weak opioid agonist; serotonin and NE reuptake inhibitor similar to stronger opioids; decreases seizure threshold
Flashcard 15: phenytoin
Answer: anti-epileptic, class IB antiarrhythymic
Extra: simple, complex, tonic-clonic seizures; prophylaxis for status epilepticus, arrhythmias inhibit: Na+ channels, presynaptic glutamate release P-450 inducer nystagmus, diplopia, ataxia, sedation, gingival hyerplasia, hirsutism, anemia, teratogen, SLE-like syndrome, lymphadenopathy, osteopenia, Stevens-Johnson syndrome
Flashcard 16: carbamazepine
Answer: anti-epileptic
Extra: simple, complex, tonic-clonic seizures; trigeminal neuralgia prolonged Na+ inactivation P-450 inducer diplopia, ataxia, blood dyscrasias, liver toxicity, teratogen, Stevens-Johnson syndrome
Flashcard 17: lamotrigine
Answer: anti-epileptic
Extra: simple, complex, tonic-clonic seizures blocks voltage-gated Na+ channels Stevens-Johnson syndrome
Flashcard 18: gabapentin
Answer: anti-epileptic/GABA analog
Extra: simple, complex, tonic-clonic seizures; peripheral neuropathy, herpetic neuralgia, migraine prophylaxis, bipolar disorder inhibits high-voltage-gated Ca2+ channels sedation, ataxia
Flashcard 19: topiramate
Answer: anti-epileptic
Extra: simple, complex, tonic-clonic seizures; migraine prophylaxis blocks Na+ channels, potentiates GABA sedation, mental dulling, kidney stones, weight loss
Flashcard 20: phenobarbital
Answer: barbituate
Extra: pediatric simple, complex, tonic-clonic seizures; sedation porphyria potentiates GABA by longer Cl- channel opening
mnemonic: barbidurates --> increased duration of open state
P-450 inducer respiratory depression, CNS depression, sedation, tolerance, dependence
