Match the following medications with their modes of action:
Risperidone = Antagonism of DA2 and 5HT2A ACE Inhibitors = Blocks the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II Calcium Channel Blockers = Blocks the inward current of calcium in vascular muscles Statins = Stops the body from making excess cholesterol and increases cholesterol uptake in the liver
Match the following medications with their cautions:
Risperidone = Parkinson's, Dementia, Seizures, Lactation Sartans = More effective to add a second agent if it doesn’t work, Lactation, Renal, Geriatric, Potassium-increasing drugs, NSAIDs, Diuretics Calcium Channel Blockers = Lactation, Hepatic, Geriatric, Avoid Beta Blockers, Systolic Heart Failure Thiazide Diuretics = Avoid in pregnancy, Hepatic, Geriatric, NSAIDs, Potassium-decreasing drugs, Renal
Match the following medications with their uses:
Thiazide Diuretics = For mild to moderate hypertension and edema Statins = Stops the body from making excess cholesterol and increases cholesterol uptake in the liver Ezetimibe = Decreases the body’s absorption of cholesterol Risperidone = Antipsychotic
Match the following medication classes with their suffixes:
Antipsychotics = -apine Hypertension Medications = -pril Sartans = -sartan Calcium Channel Blockers = -ipine
Match the following medication classes with their modes of action:
Antipsychotics = Antagonism of DA2 and 5HT2A Hypertension Medications = Blocks the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II Calcium Channel Blockers = Blocks the inward current of calcium in vascular muscles Dyslipidaemia = Stops the body from making excess cholesterol and increases cholesterol uptake in the liver
Match the following medication classes with their cautions:
Antipsychotics = Parkinson's, Dementia, Seizures, Lactation Hypertension Medications = Lactation, Renal, Geriatric, Potassium-increasing drugs, NSAIDs, Diuretics Calcium Channel Blockers = Lactation, Hepatic, Geriatric, Avoid Beta Blockers, Systolic Heart Failure Thiazide Diuretics = Avoid in pregnancy, Hepatic, Geriatric, NSAIDs, Potassium-decreasing drugs, Renal
Match the following medication classes with their uses:
Thiazide Diuretics = For mild to moderate hypertension and edema Statins = Stops the body from making excess cholesterol and increases cholesterol uptake in the liver Ezetimibe = Decreases the body’s absorption of cholesterol Antipsychotics = Treatment of psychotic disorders
Match the following medication suffixes with their classes:
-apine = Antipsychotics -pril = ACE Inhibitors -sartan = Sartans -ipine = Calcium Channel Blockers
Match the following medication modes of action with their classes:
Antagonism of DA2 and 5HT2A = Antipsychotics Blocks the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II = Hypertension Medications Blocks the inward current of calcium in vascular muscles = Calcium Channel Blockers Stops the body from making excess cholesterol and increases cholesterol uptake in the liver = Dyslipidaemia
Match the following medication cautions with their classes:
Parkinson's, Dementia, Seizures, Lactation = Antipsychotics Lactation, Renal, Geriatric, Potassium-increasing drugs, NSAIDs, Diuretics = Hypertension Medications Lactation, Hepatic, Geriatric, Avoid Beta Blockers, Systolic Heart Failure = Calcium Channel Blockers Avoid in pregnancy, Hepatic, Geriatric, NSAIDs, Potassium-decreasing drugs, Renal = Thiazide Diuretics
Test your knowledge on the mode of action and cautions of SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, and MOA-Is in the treatment of Major Depression Disorder. Learn about how these medications inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and noradrenaline, and the potential risks associated with their use.
