Drugs in Dementia.pdf
People with dementia may develop behavioral and psychological symptoms like depression, anxiety, or aggression. While non-drug interventions should be tried first, medication may sometimes be necessary, though drugs have side effects. Antipsychotics are commonly used but have risks and limited benefits, and should generally only be used for up to three months. Other options include anticonvulsants or antidepressants, which require specialist prescription. All drug treatment for dementia symptoms requires careful monitoring and review.
Drug abuse prathyusha
Drug abuse refers to using drugs in a way that deviates from approved medical use, while drug addiction involves compulsive drug use that takes priority over other activities. Commonly abused drugs include depressants like alcohol and barbiturates, stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines, hallucinogens like LSD, marijuana, inhalants, and steroids. Cocaine works by blocking the reuptake of dopamine and other neurotransmitters, while morphine acts on opioid receptors to inhibit adenylate cyclase and produce sedation. Counseling patients and encouraging lifestyle changes can help those struggling with drug abuse and addiction.

sedative & hypnotics.pptx
Sedatives produce drowsiness without inducing sleep by decreasing activity and calming patients. Hypnotics induce sleep resembling natural sleep by producing drowsiness that results in sleep onset and sleep maintenance. Both act on the limbic system and midbrain. Lower doses of sedative hypnotics have an anxiolytic effect while higher doses produce sleep and therapeutic coma. These drugs are used to treat insomnia, anxiety, seizures, and to induce coma for head injuries. Common types are barbiturates and benzodiazepines, which have dose-dependent sedative, hypnotic, anesthetic and coma effects.
NSAID's.pptx
NSAIDs are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that work by inhibiting the COX enzyme and subsequent production of prostaglandins. They have analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory effects. COX enzymes come in three types, with COX-1 found in normal tissues and COX-2 induced during inflammation. NSAIDs work by blocking COX receptors, preventing prostaglandin formation and thereby reducing pain, fever, and swelling. Common NSAID types include non-selective COX inhibitors like aspirin and ibuprofen, and selective COX-2 inhibitors like celecoxib. Side effects can include gastric irritation and ulceration.
muscle relaxants.pptx
Muscle relaxants are medications that decrease muscle tone and treat skeletal muscle conditions. There are two types - centrally acting (spasmolytics) which work in the central nervous system to relieve muscle spasms, and neuromuscular blockers which interfere with nerve-muscle transmission to cause temporary paralysis during surgery. Common examples include baclofen, diazepam, and succinylcholine. Muscle relaxants are used to treat muscle spasms, sprains, strains and spasticity conditions. Side effects can include drowsiness, weakness, and gastrointestinal issues.
immunostimulants and immunosupprasants.pptx
Immunostimulants are substances that stimulate the immune system to fight infections and diseases. They can be specific, providing immunity to particular antigens through vaccines, or non-specific by generally enhancing immune responses through substances like immunoglobulins, thalidomide, interferons, or immunocynin. Immunostimulants are useful for treating infections, cancers, and immunodeficiencies. In contrast, immunosuppressants are drugs that inhibit immune responses and are used to prevent organ transplant rejection and treat autoimmune disorders. Common side effects of immunosuppressants include infection, headaches, stomach upset, and weight gain.
emetics and anti emetics.pptx
This document discusses emetics and anti-emetics. Emetics induce vomiting and are used to empty the stomach, such as in cases of poisoning. Anti-emetics prevent or stop nausea and vomiting and are used in conditions like postoperative vomiting, chemotherapy-induced vomiting, motion sickness, and morning sickness. Anti-emetics work by depressing the central nervous system, promoting gastric emptying, controlling motion sickness, or controlling morning sickness. Common anti-emetic drugs are ondansetron, domperidone, metoclopramide, promethazine, scopolamine, and cinnarzine. Side effects of anti-emetics include hypotension, drowsiness,
anti dirrhoeal and purgative laxatives.pptx
This document discusses cholinergic and anticholinergic drugs. Cholinergic drugs act as agonists of acetylcholine to increase parasympathetic nervous system activity, which can relieve diarrhea. Examples include direct acting drugs like bethanechol and indirect acting reversible inhibitors of cholinesterase enzymes. Anticholinergic drugs block the action of acetylcholine and are used to treat conditions like glaucoma, asthma, Parkinson's disease. They work by competitively inhibiting muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, urinary retention and tachycardia. People with certain medical conditions should avoid anticholinergic drugs due to risk of worsening their conditions
anesthesia & ansthetics.pptx
Anesthesia is a state of controlled, temporary loss of sensation or awareness induced for therapeutic purposes. It may involve analgesia, paralysis, amnesia, or unconsciousness. There are different stages of anesthesia from initial induction to recovery. General anesthesia uses inhaled gases or intravenous drugs to cause unconsciousness, while local anesthesia uses topical or injected drugs to block sensory nerves and relieve pain in a specific area without unconsciousness. Careful monitoring is needed during anesthesia and recovery due to risks like nausea, vomiting, hypotension, and hypothermia.
cholinergics and anticholinergics.pptx
This document discusses cholinergic and anticholinergic drugs. Cholinergic drugs stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system by activating acetylcholine receptors or inhibiting the acetylcholine-destroying enzyme cholinesterase. They include direct agonists like acetylcholine and indirect acting drugs that inhibit cholinesterase. Anticholinergic drugs block the action of acetylcholine in the parasympathetic nervous system. They are used to treat conditions like asthma, glaucoma, Parkinson's disease, and excess salivation. Side effects of cholinergic drugs include nausea, diarrhea, sweating, and urinary issues while anticholinergics can cause dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and cognitive
