Study Notes
Drug Classes and Effects
- Cushing's syndrome and osteoporosis can be induced by long-term use of glucocorticoids.
- Beta-blockers do not cause Cushing's syndrome or osteoporosis.
- NSAIDs do not cause Cushing's syndrome or osteoporosis.
- Antibiotics do not cause Cushing's syndrome or osteoporosis.
Drug Action and Terms
- A calcium channel blocker blocks the action of epinephrine.
- A beta agonist enhances epinephrine's effect.
- A alpha antagonist blocks the action of epinephrine.
- Cholinergic agonists mimic the actions of acetylcholine.
Drug Uses
- Mucolytics/expectorants treat wet coughs.
- Codeine and dextromethorphan can also treat coughs.
- Loratadine is not a treatment for wet cough.
Drug Properties
- Diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine, and promethazine are sedative antihistamines.
- Cetirizine is a non-sedating antihistamine.
