Pharmacology

Methyl salicylate

BradyKinin

An endogenous vasodilator occurring in blood vessel walls. 
At least two distinct receptor types, B1 and B2, appear to exist for BradyKinin

Roles of bradykinin:

1) Mediator of inflammation and pain.
2) Regulation of microcirculation.
3) Their production is interrelated with clotting and fibrinolysin systems.
4) Responsible for circulatory change after birth.
5) Involved in shock and some immune reactions.

Pramlintide -Amylin mimetics

Mechanism
synthetic analogue of human amylin that acts in conjunction with insulin
↓ release of glucagon
delays gastric emptying

Clinical use

type I and II DM

Phenoxymethylpenicillin (penicillin V) Phenoxymethylpenicillin, commonly known as penicillin V, is the orally-active form of penicillin. It is less active than benzylpenicillin

Indications:

infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, skin infections, prophylaxis of rheumatic fever, moderate-to-severe gingivitis (with metronidazole)

ISOPRENALINE

It is beta-receptor stimulant, which stimulates the heart and causes tachycardia.
It relaxes the smooth muscles particularly the bronchial and GIT. It is mainly used in bronchial asthma, in the treatment of shock and as a cardiac stimulant in heart block. 

ORCIPRENALINE
Is a potent β-adrenergic agonist.
Receptor sites in the bronchi and bronchioles are more sensitive to the drug than those in the heart and blood vessels.

AMPHETAMINE 

increases the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Amphetamine is a potent CNS stimulant and causes alertness, insomnia, increased concentration, euphoria or dysphoria and increased work capacity.

Amphetamines are drugs of abuse and can produce behavioural abnormalities and can precipitate psychosis. 

PHENYLEPHRINE
It is used as a nasal decongestant and mydriatic agent and also in the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.

UTERINE RELAXANTS (TOCOLYTICS)

ISOXSUPRINE
Isoxsuprine has a potent inhibitory effect on vascular and uterine smooth muscle and has been used in the treatment of dysmenorrhoea, threatened abortion, premature labour and peripheral vascular diseases. 
 

Midazolam -Intravenous Anesthetics
 Midazolam is a benzodiazepine used for preoperative sedation, induction of anesthesia, or maintenance of anesthesia in short procedures.

For the right-handed operator, the 8 and 10 o’clock position and for left-handed operators, the corresponding 2 and 4 o’clock position almost always allows for optimal visualization of the injection field.
