Why physostigmine is the antidote for atropine?
Physostigmine inhibit AchE (the enzyme that hadrolyse Ach), so Ach accumulate at synaptic cleft and banish the effect of atropine
How do nerve agents produce in the body?
they inhibit the enzyme Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) allowing Acetylcholine (ACh) to accumulate.
Why are sarin nerve gas and insecticide parathion in small doses useful in the treatment of alzheimers?
Because they inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that break down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine has different functions - in the brain, it is involved in cognitive processes and memory, in the periphery it makes connection between nerves and muscles possible. Nerve gases kill people because they inhibit the breakdown of acetylcholine - too much of it and the muscles won't relax, leading to spasms, status epilepticus and eventually death by respiratory depression. Many Alzheimer's medication works similarly, just in the central nervous system - slightly higher levels of acetylcholine will help the brain function better, countering the degenerative effects of the disease.
What are the drug interactions associated with taking oak bark?
Reduces the effectiveness of codeine and atropine. Believed to inhibit or reduce the absorption of such alkaline drugs as antacids.
What are anticholinergics?
Anticholinergics are a class of medications that inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells.
What is the range of factors that may enhance or inhibit human development?
Factors that may enhance human development include a positive environment, healthy food, and education. Factors that may inhibit include genetics, illness, culture, and disability.
What are the effects of dopamine receptor antagonists?
They inhibit the expression of dopamine.
Is vitamin C a preservative?
Caffeine is antioxidant which enhance 'freshness', but not directly inhibit organism growth.
Does Prednisone inhibit wound healing?
Yes that can be one of the side effects.
Can you take Benadryl with Demerol?
Yes, it only enhances the effects of demerol, it won't inhibit it.
Why aminoglycosides cause weakness in myasthenia gravis?
Aminoglycosides inhibit the release of acetylcholine from the motor nerve. Myestenia gravis patients are more susceptible to this effect. So these drugs are to be avoided in myestenia gravis patients.
Does vistaril enhance the effects of oxycodone?
Yes. First generation antihistamines (i.e. Vistaril, Benadryl) increase the analgesic effects of most opiates so that a lower dose of opiate can be given. Antihistamines also reduce some of the side effects, such as itching and nausea. Vistaril can also inhibit the enzyme that metabolizes Oxycodone, but I think that is negligible unless the Vistaril dose is very high (over 100mg).
