Carbidopa/levodopa
|
Parkinson Disease
increases dopamine (carbidopa is decoy, uses up enzymes in periphery, so more levodopa can cross BBB) S/A: 1. dyskineasias, choreothosis, ticks, big metabolic requirements 2. on-off effect (also from dose just wearing out) 3. naseau effects 4. vivid dreams, hallucinations to battle Parkinson symptoms of S L U D G E (salivation, lacrimation, urinary stasis, dizziness, diaphoresis, defacation, GI upset, emeses) |
|
Benztropine
|
Parkinson disease
Anti-cholinergic. causes SM to relax, to calm extrapyridmal symptoms (acute dyskinesias caused by anti-psychotic drugs) S/A: possible heat stroke from losing ability to cool down via sweating. not having signs of overheating |
|
Donepezil
|
Alzheimer Disease
the cholinesterase inhibitor makes more ACh available for brain. S/A: too much ACh in periphery = cog wheel, salivation, tremors, S L U D G E (salivation, lacrimation, urinary stasis, dizziness, diaphoresis, defacation, GI upset, emeses) |
|
Lorazepam
|
(Ativan)
