pharmacology pre-assessment 1
Antidote for Warfarin (Coumadin)
Vitamin K
antidote for heparin
protamine sulfate
lab value to monitor for warfarin
Prothrombin time (PT) and the INR
lab value to monitor for heparin
partial thromblastin time PTT ( or aPTT)
ciprofloxacin
Fluoroquinolone
Ondansetron
antiemetic
serotonin antagonist
Captopril
ACE inhibitor
Atenolol
Beta adrenergic blocker
Prednisone
Glucocorticoid
Terazosin
alpha adrenergic blocker
Glipizide
oral hypoglycemic, sulfonylurea
Amiodarone
Antiarrhythmic
Clonidine
centrally acting alpha 2 agonist
Osmotic Diuretics MOA
reduce intracranial pressure & intraocular pressure by raising serum osmolality &
drawing fluid back into the vascular & extravascular space
Loop Diuretics MOA
work on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to block reabsorption of Na & Cl & to
prevent reabsorbtion of H2O
Thiazide diuretics MOA
work in the warly distal convoluted tubule to block teh reabsorption of Na & Cl & prevent
the reabsorption of H2O at this site
Potassium sparing diuretics MOA
block teh action of aldosterone (Na & H20 retention) which result in potassium retention
& secretion of Na & H20
epoetin alfa pharmacological action
Erythropoietic growth factor that acts on the bone marrow to increase production of red
blood cells
oprelvekin pharmacological action
Thrombopoietic growth factor that increase the production of platelets.
