Alfentanil |
Short-acting IV mu agonist used for anesthesia |
Alosetron |
Diarrhea-predominant IBS, diarrhea from carcinoid syndrome. 5-HT3 antagonist for receptors in GI tract decreasing motility, electrolyte secretion, increasing fluid resporption |
Alprazolam |
MEDIUM acting benzodiazepine |
Amitriptyline |
Clinical depression. neuropathic and chronic pain. Prototypical tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). Inhibits NE and 5-HT reuptake. Also block histamine receptors, muscarinic receptors, a1 and a2 adrenoceptors |
Articaine |
SHORT ACTING amide local anesthetic |
Baclofen |
Spasmolytic in MS patients or spinal cord lesions. intractable hiccups. GABA analog selectively activates GABAb receptors (not-ion channels). acts mostly inhibiting spinal cord transmission of reflexes |
Benzocaine |
Topical ester local anesthetic |
Bupivacaine |
LONG ACTING amide local anesthetic |
Bupropion |
Clinical depression. smoking cessation. blocks DA uptake |
Buspirone |
Anxiolytic w/out sedation. selective partial agonist of 5-HT1a receptors |
Carbamazepine |
Partial (1st line), tonic-clonic (1st line): blocks inactivated Na+ channels and thus inhibits rapidly/repeatedly firing neurons (analagous to class IB antiarrhythmics). ALSO: TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA (neuropathic pain). ALSO: 2nd line for BIPOLAR |
Chlordiazepoxide |
LONG acting benzodiazepine |
Chloroprocaine |
SHORT ACTING ester local anesthetic |
Chlorpromazine |
Neuroleptic. prototypical "low-potency" antipsychotic. useful for "positive" symptoms of schizophrenia. blocks D2 receptors in mesocortical and mesolimbic pathways |
