Pharmacology HESI RN
Alprazolam (Xanax) - ANS-Benzodiazepine sedative−hypnotic: widely used in tension states,
selectivity for panic assaults and phobias; viable antidepressant moves. Tox: psychologic and
physical dependence, additive effects with other CNS depressants
Amiodarone (Cordarone) - ANS-Antidysrhythmic agent. Prolongs repolarization, relaxes clean
muscles, decreases vascular resistance. For ventricular traumatic inflammation and unstable
ventricular tachycardia. Incompatible with heparin, can be given in PO preservation dose,
screen for respiration complications.
Amitriptyline (Elavil) - ANS-tricyclic antidepressant, common facet effects encompass
drowsiness, fatigue, lethargy, and sedation. Other commonplace side results consist of dry
mouth or eyes, blurred vision, hypotension, and constipation.
Amlodipine (Norvasc) - ANS-calcium channel blocker, suitable for african american, don't
devour grapefruit juice, decreases BP
Bactrim - ANS-sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, boom consumption to one.5 liters of water, take
with milk
Benzodiazepines withdrawal signs - ANS-tremors, sweating, agitation, anxiousness
Benzonatate (Tessalon Perles), Codeine, dextromethorphan - ANS-antitussives enables to
lessen cough
Bisphosphonates (Fosamax) - ANS-used to treat osteoporosis, sit up straight for 30 mins after
taking and take with a full glass of water on an empty belly
calcium carbonate (Tums) and famotidine (Pepcid) - ANS-antacid, remedy is effective if
heartburn is relieved, if focused on heart medications or Synthroid it'll reduce the effectiveness
of the medication, decreases absorption of the medicine
Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) - ANS-Muscle relaxant/antispasmodic, Physical dependence - do
now not d/c abruptly
Desmopressin (DDAVP) - ANS-vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone). It is used in the control of
diabetes insipidus. The nurse video display units the client's fluid stability to decide the
effectiveness of the drugs. Fluid popularity can be evaluated by means of noting intake and
urine output, each day weight, and the presence of edema.
Digoxin (Lanoxin) - ANS-treats heart dysrhythmias, monitor coronary heart rate, screen their
digoxin serum degrees, regular serum degree is zero.Five-2, signs and symptoms of digoxin
toxicity include confusion, drowsiness, abnormal pulse, lack of urge for food, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, vision changes (unusual), consisting of blind spots, blurred vision, adjustments in how
colorings appearance or seeing halos
Diltiazem (Cardizem) - ANS-treats atrial dysrhythmias, calcium channel blocker, screen BP and
heart price
Finasteride (Proscar) and Tamsulosin (Flomax) - ANS-Prostate Anti-inflammatory, treats BPH
Furosemide (Lasix) and Bumetanide - ANS-loop diuretic, treats hypertension, fluid retention,
and coronary heart failure, replace potassium
