Study Notes

Sedatives

  • Sedatives reduce anxiety and can affect motor and mental functions, contrary to the statement suggesting they have no effect.
  • They are often used in medical settings for their calming effects.

Barbiturates Pharmacologic Actions

  • Barbiturates depress CNS activity, leading to sedation, hypnosis, and potentially general anesthesia.
  • Not all barbiturates have analgesic effects; this statement is false as barbiturates do not provide pain relief.
  • Ultra short-acting barbiturates are particularly effective in inducing general anesthesia due to their rapid onset.

Hypnotics

  • Hypnotics are primarily designed to produce drowsiness and promote sleep, acting as sleep aids.
  • They may share similarities with sedatives but specifically target sleep induction.

True/False Statements

  • True: Hypnotics promote sleep and induce drowsiness.
