Clinical Pharmacology
Herbal Medicines
Ephedra (Ma Huang)
CNS stimulant, weight loss and asthma Rx
-
-
St Johns Wort
Antidepressant, SRI and P450 inducer
-
-
Kava
-
-
Enhances volatiles, propofol and benzos
Ginko Biloba
Rx of ADs, vascular dementia and PVD
Inhibits platelet activation factor and reduces adhesiveness of platelets -> increasing bleeding risk
-
Tranexamic Acid
General
-
Beneficial actions on fibrinolysis, platelet function & SIRS
MoA
-
Blocks plasmin action on platelets (reduces aggregation and adhesion) so maintains platelet function
Pharmacokinetics
-
Metabolism & Elim
Excreted unchanged in urine, 90% in first 24h
Absorption
3h after oral dose, rapid after IV injection
-
-
-
-
Antibiotics
-
-
-
Protein Synth
Aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, erytho/clari, chloramphenicol
Cell wall synthesis
Penicillin, cephalosporin, vancomycin
Anti platelets
Indications
Secondary prevention of thrombotic events post MI, perc stent or bypass
-
-
-
-
SEs of drug use - antipyretics, analgesics
Platelet activation
-
ADP and A2 go on to activate more platelets - ADP reduces cAMP and efflux of Ca2+ causing conformational change of platelets -> degranulation. A2 activates othe platelets GPIIb/IIIa Rs
-
-
Intact endothelim releases prostacycline and NO which keep platelets inactive (maintain Ca2+ efflux by c-AMP driven pump)
Activated IIb/IIIa Rs bing fibrinogen at both ends which link platelets together or bing vWF to anchor the platelet plug
-
-
Diabetes
Autonomic involvement
CVS
Tachycardia, arrhythmias, orthostatic hypotension
GI
Bloating after meals, constipation, diarrhoea
-
GU
Impotence, loss of bladder control
Complications
Microvascular
-
Neuropathy (motor & sensory -> glove & stocking, autonomic neuropathy)
-

NMBs
-
Sux

Kinetics
1st order
-
-
Constant proportion elimination per unit time, rate is proportional to concentraion
Zero order
-
-
-
-
Examples - ehthanol, salicylates & phenytoin
Anticoagulants
Agents
-
Heparins
Unfractionated
-
Binds reversibly to AT 3 - increases removal of factors 9, 10, 11 & 12
-
-
-
Dabigatran
-
Half life 14-17h, daily dosing BD
Warfarin
Inhibits Vit K synthesis and so reduces Vit K dependent factors (2, 7, 9 & 10) and proteins C&S
Highly protein bound, so easily displaced
-
Rivaroxiban
-
-
-
-
Higly protein bound and removed by liver (p450), renally exceted
