Study Notes
Immune Suppressants
- T and B Cell Suppressors are used for conditions like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
- Azathioprine: Inhibits protein synthesis and reduces inflammation; can cause GI upset, vision changes, and life-threatening agranulocytosis.
- Methotrexate: Inhibits folic acid metabolism, affecting rapidly replicating cells; risks include infections, thrombocytopenia, and hepatotoxicity.
Monoclonal Antibodies
- Used for SLE, decrease tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) reducing inflammation.
- Belimumab and Anifrolumab are common examples; monitor for infusion-related reactions and contraindications like infections or malignancy.
Immune Stimulants
- Interferons are effective against Hepatitis B and C by preventing viral replication and enhancing antiviral activity.
- Common adverse effects include flu-like symptoms, bone marrow suppression, and potential cardiotoxicity.
Antiviral Agents
- Antiretroviral Medications target HIV/AIDS using different mechanisms:
- NNRTIs block reverse transcriptase, causing GI issues and dizziness.
- NRTIs compete with nucleosides, with side effects like hypersensitivity and pancreatitis.
- Protease Inhibitors obstruct protease activity and may lead to metabolism changes, fat redistribution, and gastrointestinal effects.
- Fusion Inhibitors prevent viral entry, associated with insomnia and injection site reactions; Enfuvirtide is an example.
Antiviral Drugs
- Target Herpes and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) by hindering viral DNA replication.
- Common medications include Acyclovir and Valacyclovir, with side effects like nausea and renal dysfunction.
Iron Supplements
- Treat iron-deficiency anemia by providing essential iron for hemoglobin production.
- Ferrous sulfate (Feosol) can cause GI upset and potential CNS toxicity with an overdose.
Vitamin Supplements
- Cyanocobalamin (B12) and Folic Acid are crucial for red blood cell production.
- Adverse reactions may include itchiness, rash, and mild diarrhea with some preparation forms.
Erythropoiesis Growth Factors
- Stimulate RBC production in anemia related to kidney disease or chemotherapy.
- Epoetin alfa (Epogen) can lead to headache, fatigue, and risks of thrombotic events; monitor for changes in blood pressure and overall health.
