Verified by Experts| Latest Update
What class of drugs mimic the effect of Ach by binding with muscarinic receptors causing a
parasympathetic response? Muscarinic Agonists (Parasympathomimetics)
Excessive salivation, INC gastric secretions, Urinary urgency, Bradycardia. Specific AE of
Pyridostigmine (Mestinon)
Atropine. Antidote for Bethanechol (Urecholine)
What drug is used a lot in childhood as an inhaled preparation for respiratory conditions?
Atropine
How do they work? They act to block Ach at muscarinic receptors. Muscarinic Antagonist
(Anticholinergic) Drugs
Drink fluids or chew gum to minimize dry mouth, Wear sunglasses for photophobia, Void prior
to dose. Patient teaching when prescribing Atropine
What drug class acts to block the actions of Ach and work in sweat glands, blood vessels, and all
organs regulated by the parasympathetic nervous system? Muscarinic Antagonists
(Anticholinergics)

anticholinesterase poisoning? Atropine
What prototype drug is used to delay absorption of local anesthetics and control superficial
bleeding? Epinephrine (Adrenaline)
What is Alpha 1? Alpha 1
When activated, it causes vasoconstriction and mydriasis (pupil dilation) Receptor
What prototype drug activates 4 subtypes of adrenergic receptors, producing sympathomimetic
effects? Epinephrine (Adrenaline)
What receptor works in the lungs to cause bronchodilation and relaxes the uterus to delay
preterm labor? Beta 2
Keep the pen with you at all times; Use immediately when s/s start Patient teaching for
prescribing epinephrine (auto-injector)
