Q: Alternative indication for glucagon use besides hypoglycemia
Answer: -Intra- venous glucagon is commonly used in the endoscopic retrograde
cholangiopancre- atography procedure to facilitate the relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi.
-sometimes used in the treatment of beta blocker overdose because of the drug’s ability to
increase cAMP production in the heart independent of \u00b2receptor function.
Q: Medications indicated for myocardial infarction (part 1)
Answer: Aspirin. The 911 operator might tell you to take aspirin, or emergency medical
personnel might give you aspirin immediately. Aspirin reduces blood clotting, thus helping
maintain blood flow through a narrowed artery.
Thrombolytics. These drugs, also called clotbusters, help dissolve a blood clot that’s blocking
blood flow to your heart. The earlier you receive a thrombolytic drug after a heart attack, the
greater the chance you’ll survive and have less heart damage.
Antiplatelet agents. Emergency room doctors may give you other drugs known as platelet
aggregation inhibitors to help prevent new clots and keep existing clots from getting larger.
Other blood-thinning medications. You’ll likely be given other medications, such as heparin, to
make your blood less “sticky” and less likely to form clots. Heparin is given by IV or by an
injection under your skin.
