This document discusses benzodiazepines (BDZs), including their discovery, mechanism of action, effects, and examples like diazepam and midazolam. It notes that BDZs bind to GABA receptors in the brain to have sedative, anxiolytic, hypnotic, amnestic, and anticonvulsant effects. Their onset and duration of action depends on lipid solubility. While generally safe, they can cause respiratory depression, especially in high doses or with pre-existing lung conditions. Their effects are reversed by the antagonist flumazenil. Midazolam is water-soluble and shorter-acting than diazepam. It is metabolized in the liver

This lecture is about what is the neostigmine and what are its medical uses, mechanism of action and side effects.
Neostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor used in the symptomatic treatment of myasthenia gravis by improving muscle tone.
Neostigmine is in the cholinergic family of medications. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholinesterase and therefore increases the levels of acetylcholine.
Neostigmine: Cholinesterase inhibitor = ↑ ACh
Neostigmine is an anticholinesterase inhibitor and inhibits the hydrolysis of acetylcholine by competing with acetylcholine for binding to acetylcholinesterase at the site of cholinergic transmission. By reducing the hydrolysis of acetylcholine, the transmission of nerve impulses is facilitated.
At the end of surgery, neostigmine has been given for the reversal of neuromuscular blocking agents with several adverse effects such as bradycardia and profuse secretion.
Atropine has been used to prevent those side effects of neostigmine.
Side effects titles as review:
.
Nausea, headache, insomnia, dry mouth, dizziness, vomiting, allergic reactions, skin rash, hot flashes, joint pain, stroke, weakness, muscle cramps, frequent urination
Neostigmine is rapidly absorbed after intramuscular injection (IM). Neostigmine binding to human serum albumin is approximately 15 to 25%.
Neostigmine is metabolized in the liver by microsomal enzymes. The apparent excretory half-life of neostigmine is between 24 and 113 minutes.

Introduction
What are Sedatives??
“A drug that subdue excitement and calms the patient without inducing sleep. Though the drowsiness may
be produced.”
► It also refers to the decrease in responsiveness to stimulation, along with this ,it also decrease the
alertness,ideation, and motor activities.
What are Hypnotics???
► “ These are the drugs that causes the sleep which resembles with the natural sleep”.
► These are having quicker action,shorter duration and steeper DRC while sedatives having slow on set of
action with flatter DRC
► Hypnotics at lower dose sedative
► There are different grades of CNS depressants
► Sedation Hypnosis General anaesthesia
Difference between Sedative &
Hypnotics
Sedative
► A drug that reduces excitement,calms the
patient without inducing sleep
► Sedative in therapeutic doses are
anxiolytics
► At larger doses causes hypnosis
► Site of action is on limbic system
► Examples- diazepam,lorazepam,etc.
Hypnotics
► Sleep producing drugs
► Used for inititation or maintain the sleep
► At high doses causes general anaesthesia
► Site of action is in midbrain & acending
RAS which maintains wakefullness
► Examples – zopiclone,phenobarbitone
DRC for two hypothetical
sedative - Hypnotics
• Drug A – An increase in dose higher than that needed for
hypnosis may lead to state of general anaesthesia.
• With higher doses , the durg will depresses the respiratory and
vasomotor centers which leads to coma.
• Steeper DRC, Narrow margin of safety
• Drug A is an example of alcohol and Barbiturates.
• Drug B – Needs greater dose to achieve CNS depression
• Drug B is an example of benzodiazepine and newer hypnotics
• Flatter DRc, greater margin of safety
► Sleep
1. NREM – In this there is no fast movement of eyes.It occurres between stage 0 to 4
2. REM – In this eye movements are very fast.
► Stage of NREM-
► Stage 0 [ awake]- It is condition from lying down to falling a sleep(1-2%)
► Stage 1 [dosing]– Eye movement decrease,body muscles relax (5-10%)
► Stage 2 [unequivocal sleep]– more decrease in eye movements, person may arousable.(50%)
► Stage 3 deep sleep transition]– Deeper sleep with minimum eye movements,not easily arousal.
► Stage 4[cerebral sleep] – deepest level of sleep, GH secretion increased, no eye movements, muscles are
fully relaxed, if awakened causes disorientation.(20%)
► REM – dreaming, HR,breathing rate, brain activity increases and relaxation of voluntary muscles.
Classification
► Benzodizepines1. Hypnotics-Diazepam,flurazepam,Nitrazepam,Alprazolam,Lorazepam,Templepatrick,Triazolam
2. Antianxiety-Diazepam, Chlordiazeperoxide, Oxazepam, Lorazepam, Alprazolam, Clonazepam
3. Anticonvulsant- Clonazepam, clobazam, Diazepam, Loranzepam
► Barbiturates1. Long acting- phenobarbitone
2. Short acting- butobarbitone, Phenobarbitone
3. Ultrashort acting- Thiopentone, Methohexitone
Non- benzodiazepines- Zopiclone, Eszopiclone, Zolpidem, Zaleplon, Etisalat
► Other Hypnotics- Triclofos, Melatonin, Ramelteon, Suvorexant
This topic is pharmacology . More detail in sedative and hypnotics pharmacology and drug , and classification of drug or combination of drug and knowledge of drug dose ,

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
2. SEDATIVE: Ally Anxiety –decreases activity,
reduces excitement, calm the individual
HYPNOTICS: produces drowsiness and induces
sleep
3.
4. Discovery began in 1955 by Leo-H. Sternbach
1st
BDZ Chlodiazepoxide
Pharmacological action revealed by Randal & his
colleagues few years later.
Properties Inducing calming
Without ataxia or marked
anticonvulsant properties
5. Mode of action
BDZ having similar pharmacological activity,
therapeutic use, potency and solubility.
Receptors present in the gray matter
6. BDZs bind the same set of receptors in the CNS as
barbiturates but bind to different site of receptors.
BDZs binding to the GABAa receptor increases the
frequency of opening of the associated chloride ion
channel
For eg:BDZs-receptor binding facilitates binding of
GABA to its receptor.
FLUMAZENIL(an imidazobenzodiazepine) is a specific
BDZs-receptor antagonist that effectively reverses
most of the CNS effect of BDZs
7.
8. There are number of other drugs bind to GABA-BDZ
receptor complex, notably barbiturates (including
thiopentone) which bind to a separate site, and
some non-benzodiazepine sedative such as
zopiclone and zolpidem which act at the
benzodiazepine site.
9. CNS :BDZ dose related depression of the CNS.
Amnesia
Anticonvulsant effect
Hypnotic effect
Induction of Anesthesia
10. AMNESIA: BDZ produce anterograde but not retrograde
Useful Used as sedation for endoscopy or for surgical
procedure under local anaesthesia
Note : It is not produce by Oral or I/M
ANTICONVLSANT:
All BDZ have an anticonvulsant action but not all used for
these purpose due to BDZ1 & BDZ2 receptors differes
11. HYPNOTIC EFFECT:
Main long term clinical uses of BDZ is as a night time
hypnotics.
It decreases REM sleep
Significant is not fully understood
There is a period of rebound wake full ness
Tolerance & dependence after long term use
12. INDUCTION OF ANAESTHESIA :
Diazepam, midazolam and flunitrazepam have
been used as induction agents
Claimed advantage is that BDZ having greater
cardiovascular stability and compared with
Thiopentone
Counter balanced by unreliability of effect and
slow recovery
14. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:
Therapeutic doses, Oral administration of BDZ does
not cause respiratory depression.
Intravenous injection as the consciousness lost, so is
sensitive to CO2 decreased tidal volume
compensated by increased respiratory rate (RR)
In patient with chronic obstructive airway disease, the
respiratory depressant effect of BDZ > normal subject.
15. PHARMACOKINETIC:
CNS AND BLOODBRAIN BARRIER:
Onset and duration of action at psychosedative drug BDZ
depend on capacity to BBB, rate directly proportion to
intrensic lipid solubility at physiological pH
All benzodiazepine are highly liphophilic
e.g. diazepam midazolam – Acts quickly
Lesser liphophilic e.g. lorazepam chlorodizepoxide

18. DIAZEPAM:
Colourless crystalline base
Insoluble in water
M.W. 285
Injectable preparation
Contains 5 mg/ml in aqueous vehicle
Consist of mainly propylene glycol, Ethyl
alcohol, Sodium Benzoate in Benzoic acid.
pH 6.4 – 6.9
Diazepam is lipid emulsion made up from
soya bean similar to the fat emulsion used
for parentral nutrition.
19. MIDAZOLAM:
Nitrogen in the imidazole ring
Water soluble
Shorter duration at action than other
Prepared as a water soluble salt with
hydrochloric, & maleic lactic acid.
Available in stable aqueous solution as hydrochloride salt
Half life is 10 minutes
Must not mixed with acidic solution.
20. PHARMACOKINETIC OF MIDAZOLAM:
Properties relevant to the fat of relevant diazepam
Increase fraction of free drug
Similar volume of distribution with similar onset time
Quicker & earlier recovery
10 times faster than diazepam
Bio ability 44 % after administration of 15 mg & reduce
with volume of distribution.
Greater dose in women (0.8 to 1.51 / kg)
21. METABOLISM OF MIDAZOLAM:
Eliminated by hepatic biotransformation
70% eliminated in urine
Half life 2 to 2.4
22.
23. FLUMAZENIL: It is a BDZs analogue which
has little intrinsic activity,but competes with
BZD agonists as well as inverse agonists for
the BZD receptor and reverses their
deppresant or stimulant effects respectively
24. TO REVERSE BZD ANAESTHESIA:
Patients anaesthetized/sedated witha BDZ
wakeup,get oriented and regain motor control
within 1min of an i.v injection of 0.3-1mg of
flumazenil.
BDZ OVERDOSE:
Majority of patients of BDZ overdose require
only supportive measures like patent
airway,maintenance of BP,cardiac and renal
function etc
25. In addition, FLUMAZENIL 0.2mg/min may be
injected i.v till the patient regains consciousness.
Practically all patients intoxicated with BDZ alone
respond within 5 mn.
26. FLUMAZENIL is a safe and well tolerated.
Agitation,discomfort,tearfulness,anxiety,coldness
are the occasional side effects...
27. Use short acting midazolam
Dose is 0.15 to 0.3 mg/kg
Can be used IV/IM
Some have tried oral and nasal rout
Antidote is flumanzenile
