ANS Meds
Stimulation of this receptor causes skeletal muscle contraction
Nicotinic M
These strong diuretics work on the proximal convoluted tube and must be drawn up with a filter needle.
Osmotic (Mannitol)
This medication with a short half-life is used to stop the heart to read an EKG
Adenosine (Adenocard)
A patient with hypertension and asthma would be started on this type of beta blockers.
Specific (Metoprolol, Atenolol, Esmolol)
HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors should be taken at this time.
Bed time
Norepinephrine stimulates these receptors.
A1, A2, B1
A patient with a history of gout would be told to avoid this type of diuretic
Thiazide diuretics
By allowing the breakdown of bradykinin, this type of medication avoids cough as a side effect.
ARBs (Losartan, Valsartan)
Class 1A sodium channel blockers differ from class 1B in this way.
Class 1A has a slight effect on potassium channels, delays depolarization.
This medication greatly increases HDL levels.
Niacin (Niacor) (Nicotinic Acid)
A patient with myasthenia gravis would take these medications to increase ACh levels.
Cholinesterase inhibitors (Neostigmine, Edrophonium)
This is the mechanism by which Spironolactone causes hyperkalemia.
Blocking aldosterone leads to K retention
A patient presents with BPH. This medication(s) would be used.
Doxazosin, Tamulosin, Prazosin, Terazosin
A patient on 5mcg/mL of lidocaine may experience symptoms of this.
CNS depression/toxicity (seizures, confusion)
This medication works by preventing the intestine from absorbing cholesterol.
Ezetimibe (Zetia)
Dantrolene is given to treat malignant hyperthermia, which is an adverse effect of this medication.
Succinylcholine (Anectine)
A nurse notes crackles when auscultating a patient's lungs. This is the class of diuretic they should be placed on.
Loop diuretics
A patient taking digoxin is at risk of medicine ineffectiveness if they also take this type of medication.
ARBs
A patient with CAD would be started on Verapamil instead of Amlodipine to avoid this side effect.
Reflex tachycardia
A patient taking niacin experiences flushing that becomes a concern. They would be instructed to do this.
Take 325mg of aspirin 30 minutes prior to taking niacin
A patient is given 5mcg/kg/min of dopamine to treat this condition.
Heart failure
A patient on antibiotics would be told to avoid furosemide to avoid this adverse effect.
Ototoxicity
By delaying repolarization and depolarization, Quinidine does this to an EKG.
Widens QRS wave
This negative dromotrope and negative chronotrope with a long half life would show an increased QRS wave on an EKG
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
This effect of statins is the reason why a patient may present with coke colored urine
Rhabdomyolysis leading to high myoglobin
