acyclovirAntimetabolite for Treating Herpes Simplex Virus & Varicella-Zoster Virus Infections; MOAs: Purine necleoside analog: DNA polymerase inhibitor, suppresses synthesis of viral DNA, resistance.amiodaroneClass 3 Potassium channel blocker Only approved for life-threatening dysrhythmias.Delays repolarization and extends action potential of heart muscle cells.

SE: Profound hypotension."

amoxicillinBroad-spectrum penicillin active against H. influenzae, E. coli, and N.Gonorrhoeae. It is inactivated by beta-lactamases, so not helpful for Staphylococcus.atropinemuscinarinic receptor antagonist/anticholinergic drug; used for mydriases (eye exams), to raise HR, lower GI motility, and as antidote to muscarinic poisoning (rx, shrooms) amphotericin Bbroad spectrum antifungal, which is the agent of choice for systemic mycoses, despite being highly toxic. Its uses are limited to treating progressive and potentially fatal infections. Adverse effects include infusion reactions, nephrotoxicity, and hypokalemia.aspirinA drug that decrease platelet aggregation and is used to prevent arterial thrombosis, stroke, or MI. Major SEs include risk of major GI bleeding. This drug is an NSAID that works by inhibiting platelet COX, COX-1, and COX-2.beclomethasoneinhaled corticosteroid used to treat airway inflammation in asthma bethanecholmuscarinic agnonist, used primarily for urinary retention buproprion(DA and NE). Weight loss, seizure, insomnia, headache, serotonin syndrome (see laundry list above), withdrawal, Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome captoprilACE inhibitor - shown to have efficacious effects in treating a patient with heart failure. Blocks production of angiotensin II, dilates arterioles and veins, and decreases release of aldosterone. It may show the adverse effects of hypotension, hyperkalemia, or persistant cough, CARDIAC REMODELING carbenicillin"Extended spectrum (antipseudomonal penicillins), which has the same spectrum of activity as broad-spectrum penicillins, plus treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cefotaxime"Third generation cephalosporin with activity against meningitis and nosocomial infections resistant to others (restricted use). It has greater activity against Gram negative bacteria, increased resistance to beta-lactamases, and better ability to reach CSF.cephalexin"First generation cephalosporin poor activity against Gram negative bacteria, sensitive to to most beta-lactamases, unable to reach CSF. Used for Staphylococcus if mild penicillin allergy.

celecoxib2nd Generation Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drug (COX-2 Selective NSAID);

AE: risk of CV events, warfarin may be more effective with celecoxib

cholestyramineInhibits bile reabsorption in intenstine, increases LDL receptors in liver, accelerates bile excretion. Many of the adverse effects result from the drug not being absorbed from GI, including constipation and a decreased absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, & K).ciprofloxacinfluoroquinolone broad -cidal. PO tetracycline and cipro should NOT BE GIVEN WITH ANTACIDS.ALSO KNOW IT CAN RUPTURE TENDONS AND CAUSE CANDIDA. "

codeineantitussive, AE: respiratory depression

also weak mu opioid agonist clozapineatypical antipsychotic; 2nd Gen. Treats negative symptoms. Greater efficacy than

1st gen. Fewer EPS/tardive dyskinesia side effects. SE: Agranulocytosis and

Metabolic effects (Weight gain, diabetes, hyperlipidemia) clonidinealpha 2 agonist, HTN drug -> vasodilation clavulanic acidA penicillinase inhibitor that is combined with a broad spectrum penicillin to increase is bactericidal activity.clopidogreldecreases platelet aggregation and is used to prevent arterial thrombosis or stroke. Major SEs include risk of major GI bleeding. This drug is not an NSAID and does not inhibit COX chlorpromazineFGA, low potency, treats positive symptoms. SE: Sedation, orthostatic

hypotension, anticholinergic effects. NOTE: it may take up to 6 weeks to see

effects cromolynmast cell stabilizer, inhaled, for asthma or allergies diphenhydramine1st Generation H1 Competitive Antagonist; antihistamine (benadryl), sedation effects digoxin"Medication prescribed for treating heart failure and some dysrhythmias. It is an ionotropic agent with narrow therapeutic index. Increases myocardial contractility and cardiac output. Improves symptoms but not shown to increase life expectancy. Significant cardiotoxicity requires monitoring of drug levels and K+ levels epinephrineMixed Alpha/Beta Adrenergic Receptor Agonists (Nonselective) dabigatrinedirect thrombin inhibitor, (PO) dextromethorphannon opioid antitussive

enoxaparinlow molecular weight heparin; indirect inhibitor, a shorter form of heparin, can be given using a fixed dose with no aPTT monitoring. Inactivates ONLY Xa. subQ only.Can be used at home.exenatideincretin mimetic; Activates receptors for GLP-1. Increases insulin secretion; slows GI absorption of glucose and gastric emptying. [-ide, acts similar to tolbutamide] fexofenadine2nd gen antihistamine, H1 competitive antagonist (allegra), lesser sedative effects dopamine"Inotropic agent that requires constant BP/EKG monitoring. Activates beta1 AR in heart and increases contractility and HR (risk of tachycardia). Dilates renal blood vessels and increases urine output via receptor activation in the kidney erythromycinMacrolid; Static, narrow (G+), inhibits protein synthesis

SEs: GI; DDIs with 3A4 inhibitors (cardiotoxic) and antidysrythmics"

furosemideLoop diuretic. Site of action in the nephron is the Loop of Henley. Can cause hypokalemia. Diuretics increase the risk of dysrhythmias in a patient taking digoxin by promoting potassium loss.Used for HTN and HF. Works with low GFR.gemfibrozilfibroacid derivative, lowers triglycerides gentamicinCidal, narrow (G-)--> ONLY ONE. Lethal inhibition of protien synthesis (ONLY ONE

THAT DOES THIS).

SE: Ototoxic (High pitch tinnitus and headache), Kidney problems (nephrotoxicity).Hypersensitivity, Neuro-mm'r blockade=resp. depression. KNOW THESE GENTAMICIN SEs." glucagontreats hypoglycemia; carbohydrate; opposite effects of insulin glyburide2nd generation sulfonylurea; stimulates insulin release in pancreas; Same as Tolbutamide, but more potent. [-ide]; haloperidolFGA, high potency; treats positive symptoms. SE: EPS (Acute-dystonia, parkinsons-like, akathesia and Late- Tardive Dyskinesia) and NMS. Immediate effects. Only used in emergent situation, b/c of SE heparin"Rapid-acting anticoagulant that enhances activity of antithrombin and inactivates clotting factors. It is used in treating pulmonary embolism, evolving stroke, and prevention of vein thrombosis. Its adverse effects include hemorrhage, drug- induced thrombocytopenia, and hypersensitivity reactions.hydralazinea vasodilator that directly dilates arterioles. It may produce SEs including systemic lupus erythematosus-like syndrome, reflex tachycardia, and increased blood volume; BB can prevent tachycardia hydrocodone/acetaminophenopioid and non opioid combined for analgesia
