Peroxidase/ Peripheral deiodination

Union (coupling)


Enoxaprin (prototype low molecular weight heparin): action, monitoring

EnoXaprin only acts on factor Xa. Monitor Xa concentration, rather than APTT.


Beta-blockers: nonselective betablockers "Tim Pinches His Nasal Problem" (because he has a runny nose...):

Timolol
Pindolol
Hismolol
Naldolol
Propranolol


Nicotinic effects MTWTF (days of week):
Mydriasis/ Muscle cramps
Tachycardia
Weakness
Twitching
Hypertension/ Hyperglycemia

Fasiculation


Muscarinic effects SLUG BAM:
Salivation/ Secretions/ Sweating
Lacrimation
Urination
Gastrointestinal upset

Bradycardia/ Bronchoconstriction/ Bowel movement
Abdominal cramps/ Anorexia

Miosis


Phenytoin: adverse effects PHENYTOIN:

P-450 interactions
Hirsutism
Enlarged gums
Nystagmus
Yellow-browning of skin
Teratogenicity
Osteomalacia
Interference with B12 metabolism
(hence anemia)
Neuropathies: vertigo, ataxia, headache 






Gynaecomastia-causing drugs DISCOS:

Digoxin
Isoniazid
Spironolactone
Cimetidine
Oestrogens
Stilboestrol


Hypertension: treatment ABCD:
ACE inhibitors/ AngII antagonists (sometimes Alpha agonists also)

Beta blockers
Calcium antagonists

Diuretics (sometimes vasoDilators also)


Diuretics classification in order of site of action "COLTPee:"
In their sequential site of action along the nephron:

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (at the proximal tubule)
Osmotic diuretics (at the Loop of Henle)
Loop diuretics (at the ascending loop)
Thiazides (at the distal tubule)

Potassium-sparing diuretics (at the collecting tubules) ·

Diuretics make patient pee like a horse, hence "Colt Pee".



Clopidogrel: use CLOPIdogrel is a drug that prevents
CLots, an Oral Platelet Inhibitor (OPI).


Teratogenic drugs: major nonantibiotics TAP CAP:

Thalidomide
Androgens
Progestins
Corticosteroids
Aspirin & indomethacin

Phenytoin


Physostigmine vs. neostigmine LMNOP:
Lipid soluble
Miotic
Natural
Orally absorbed well

Physostigmine
Neostigmine, on the contrary, is:
Water soluble
Used in myesthenia gravis
Synthetic
Poor oral absorption

Ulcers
Skin: striae, thinning, bruising

Hypertension/ Hirsutism/ Hyperglycemia
Infections

Necrosis, avascular necrosis of the femoral head

Glycosuria
Osteoporosis, obesity
Immunosuppression

Diabetes


Beta blockers with CYP2D6 polymorphic metabolism "I Met Tim Carver, the metabolic polymorph": · The following beta blockers require dose adjustment due to CYP2D6 polymorphic metabolism:

Metoprolol

Timolol
Carvedilol (in patients with lower or higher than normal CYP2D6 activity)
