This quiz titled 'Systemic Pharm - Final Material' assesses knowledge on pharmacological treatments and drug interactions, focusing on conditions like hyperlipidemia and acute angina. It evaluates understanding of drug side effects, contraindications, and appropriate dosages, crucial for healthcare professionals.
Aspirin/NSAIDs and Clopidogrel/Plavix may cause GI ulceration, bleeding and stomach upset.
Ocular side effects are uncommon in Clopidogrel/Plavix, while reports of blurred vision occur with some NSAIDs
NSAIDs and arthritic doses of ASA can decrease the effects of antihypertensive medications
Aspirin reduces the risk of AMI, stroke and TIAs
Clopidogrel/Plavix is used for the reduction of thrombotic events after recent AMI, or recent stroke. It can also be used to treat peripheral arterial disease, unstable angina and non-Q wave MI

Ocular anti-inflammatory agents carry an increased risk of infection, cataracts, corneal/scleral perforation, and glaucoma. Therefore when prescribing these medications you should always monitor IOPs and gradually taper when discontinuing.
Systemic sedating antihistamines are contraindicated in narrow angle glaucoma, BPH, some patients with peptic ulcer disease and in patients with bladder obstructions
It is estimated that 2-10% of patients who are allergic to Fluoroquinolones will also be allergic to Sulfonamides due to structure similarities. Reactions may range from rash to anaphylaxis.
Overuse of antihistamines/anti-allergy preparations for the eye can cause rebound dilation of blood vessels. You should recommend to your patients that they avoid using while wearing soft contact lenses. Recommend that the patient wait 10minutes after use to insert their contact lenses
Taking frequent or routin doses of aspirin or NSAIDs can blunt or lower the effect of antihypertensive medication therapy in individuals with high blood pressure
Acetylsalicyclic acid(ASA/Aspirin) and Acetaminophen (APAP/Tylenol)are examples of non-opiate analgesic medications
Acetaminophen(APAP/Tylenol) relieves mild to moderate pain, reduces fever, reduces inflammation, and reduces blood clotting.
Acetaminophen is metabolized hepatically and therefore the total cumulative doses administered must be monitored. If metabolic pathways become saturated by exceeding recommended doses, life-threatening hepatotoxicity can occur.

Histamine is stored in, and released from mast cells, basophils, and CNS neurons
Physiologic effects of histamine include vasodilation, localized reddening, edema and flare, increased heart rate and contractility.
First generation drugs include Meclizine/bonine, diphenhydramine/Bendryl and chlorpheniramine/Chlor-Trimeton
H2 receptor antagonists/H2 blockers are used to prevent/treat allergic reactions, prevent /treat motion sickness. However they are no longer used to treat insomnia or as adjunct therapy for parkinson's disease.

H2 Blockers are used in the prevention and treatment of peptic ulder disease (PUD), and the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Examples of H2 Blockers include famotidine/Pepcid and Ranitidine/Zantac
Stimulation of H2 receptors will decrease gastric acid secretion and decrease vasodilation
H2 blockers typically increase gastric acid secretion and increase vasodilation

ADEs can include electrolyte imbalance, constipation, diarrhea. Electrolyte related toxcities are also possible in patients with severe renal impairment
Both magnesium and aluminum containing antacids will cause constipation when used as a single active ingredient.
Antacids typically contain one or more of the following components: calcium,aluminum, and magnesium
Magnesium containing antacids will often cause diarrhea when used as a single active ingredient for example in Magnesium hydroxide/Milk of Magnesia
