Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 5TYC
Pediatric literature has reported many cases of poisoning in children with Lomotil, an antidiarrheal medicine. Lomotil works primarily by means of the morphinelike effects of its chief ingredient, diphenoxylate, but it also contains atropine. Considering the mode of action described for atropine in Deqier Insight 15 2, why might it contribute to the antidiarrheal effect of Lomotil? In atropine poisoning, would you expect the pupils to be dilated or constricted? The skin to be moist or dry? The heart rate to be elevated or depressed? The bladder to retain urine or void uncontrollably? Explain each answer. Atropine poisoning is treated with physostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor. Explain the rationale of tins treatment.

There are two groups of drugs classified as antagonists of histamine receptor antagonists. The one group
blocks activation of histamine; receptors, while the second group selectively blocks histaminez receptors. Mr
HA is a pharmacy student who is worrying about his next pharmacology test, and he has come into the
pharmacy complaining of stomach pain associated with gastric hyperacidity.
5.1. Identify the class of histamine antagonists that would be appropriate for Mr HA. Clearly motivate your
choice by explaining the action of histamine at the specific receptor sub-type identified and thus the
physiological outcome of using the appropriate histamine antagonist.
5.2. Several different local hormones and mediators play a role in platelet aggregation and blood
coagulation. For each of the following mediators, identify
(1) the site where the mediator is produced/found and
(i) the physiological function when released

- Buprenorphine is a partial agonist at mu opioid receptors and is used for opioid maintenance treatment (OMT) in patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). Buprenorphine is formulated in a product that contains the mu opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone. What is the purpose of naloxone in this formulation? O To increase the magnitude of response to the partial agonist. O To reduce the likelihood that buprenorphine will be injected intravenously. O To delay the response to buprenorphine.

He is severely depressed and is receiving treatment with the tricyclic depressant, nortriptyline. No effects were reported when standard doses of the drug (25 mg tds) were used. His doctor increased the dose many-fold to 200 mg/day a dose, which is inducing effects.

Explain the Pharmacodynamicsarrow_forwardAlcohol affects the central nervous system by enhancing the effect ofGABA at its receptor. GABA binds to GABA receptors and opensligand-gated Cl–channels. However, chronic consumption of alcoholmakes the GABA receptor less sensitive to both alcohol and GABA,which increases alcohol dependence as well as alcohol withdrawalsymptoms, such as anxiety, tremors, and insomnia. Benzodiazepinesenhance the binding of GABA molecules to their receptors and thus aresometimes used to treat people with alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Forsynapses involving GABA, predict the effect of alcohol on the postsynaptic membranes; compare the effect of chronic alcohol consumption onthe postsynaptic membranes in these synapses; and predict the effect ofbenzodiazepine treatment on the degree of polarization of postsynapticmembranes in people who are experiencing alcohol withdrawalsymptoms.arrow_forward
