1. Often prescribed with levodopa/carbidopa in the Bromocriptine
treatment of Parkinson's Disease
2. What medication may cause serious or possibly Ambien
life-threatening sleep behaviors, such as sleep dri-
ving?
3. Taking too much of this type of drug can make you Anticholinergics, antimus-
"blind as a bat" or "mad as a hatter" carinics
4. Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, excretion Pharmacokinetics
5. Drugs used to relieve a myasthenic crisis Neostigmine, pyridostigmine
6. This drug has a very narrow therapeutic index and Lithium
high risk for toxicity, therefore levels should be
monitored frequently
7. The drug class that carries an increased risk of sui- SSRIs/SNRIs
cidality in children, adolescents, and young adults
8. The antidote for organophosphate poisoning Atropine
9. This drug class double the rate of mortality in older Antipsychotics
adults with dementia
10. In infants, this is not fully developed and therefore Blood Brain Barrier
infants are more sensitive to CNS drugs
11. Time of development that fetus is at highest risk of First trimester
teratogenicity from a drug
12. Do not stop this class of drug abruptly due to an Beta-blockers
increased risk of cardiovascular events

ing and chewing and worm-like movements of the
tongue
15. Receptor found in the lungs that causes bronchodi- Beta 2 Receptors
lation when activated
16. This drug has led to the death of children in ultrara- Codeine
pid metabolizers as 10% of the drug is converted to
morphine
17. Leading cause of acute liver failure in the U.S. Hepatotoxic drugs
18. An autoimmune disease that attacks the nicotinic Myasthenia Gravis

19. An opioid antagonist that works to quickly reverse Naloxone (Narcan)
CNS and respiratory depression
20. How the drug affects the body Pharmacodynamics
21. Term for the amount of drug that reaches systemic Bioavailability
circulation. Often affected by route of administra-
tion
22. Symptoms for this syndrome include confusion, irri- Serotonin
