What's the purpose of thyroid panel with amiodarone?
Give this one a try later!
Induced abnormalities in thyroid function are common. Amiodarone is
structurally similar to thyroxine which contributes to the effects of
amiodarone on thyroid function. Both under and over activity of the thyroid
may occur on amiodarone treatment. Treatment of free thyroxine alone may
be unreliable in detecting these problems and thyroid stimulating hormone
, should therefore be checked every six months or TSH should be checked
every six months.

bind to L-type calcium channels located on the vascular smooth muscle,
cardiac myocytes, and cardiac nodal tissue (sinoatrial and atrioventricular
nodes). These channels are responsible for regulating the influx of calcium
into muscle cells, which in turn stimulates smooth muscle contraction and
cardiac myocyte contraction.

drug and explanation.

Digitalis is one such drug—its narrow therapeutic window; high degree of
toxicity, and the failure in multiple trials to show a mortality benefit has
reduced its role included our clinical practice. It is now only used in small
number of people with poor fractory symptoms or are in a-fib or have chronic
low blood pressure.

What dermatological issue is linked to Amiodarone use?
a. Increased risk of basal cell carcinoma

c. Development of plantar warts

Warfarin MOA
Give this one a try later!
Warfarin and related 4-hydroxycoumarin containing molecules decreased
blood coagulation by inhibiting vitamin K epoxide reductase enzyme that
recycles oxidized vitamin K to its reduced form after it has participated in the
carboxylation of several blood clot blood coagulation proteins. Mainly
prothrombin and factor VII. Despite being labeled a vitamin K
antagonist,Warfarin is not antagonizing the action vitamin K or rather
antagonizes vitamin K recycling depleting active vitamin K. Thus, the
pharmacologic action may always be reversed with fresh vitamin K.
