ANTICHOLINERGIC ACTION
59.
60. ∗ Well absorbed from oral, parenteral routes

compounds)

12-24 hrs
∗ Metabolized in the liver
∗ Excreted in urine
PHARMACOKINETICS
61.
62. ∗Sedation,
∗ diminished alertness and concentration
∗ Motor incoordination,
∗ fatigue,
∗ tendency to fall asleep

DRIVING, OPERATING MACHINERY)
ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS
63.
64.
65.
66.
67. ∗ Anticholinergic side effects
∗ Headache
∗ Some are teratogenic
∗ (Cyclizine, fexofenadine)
ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS
68.
69.
70. ∗ Synergism with alcohol
and
∗ Other CNS depressants
more CNS depression
DRUG INTERACTIONS
71.
72. ∗ RELIEVES ONLY SYMPTOMS
∗ hay fever
∗ Atopic and contact dermatitis
∗ Eczema
∗ Bee and wasp stings
∗ Mild blood transfusion reactions
∗ Allergic conjunctivitis
∗ Urticaria
∗ Angioedema
THERAPEUTIC USES
1. ALLERGIC DISORDERS
84. ∗ Afford symptomatic relief
∗ by anticholinergic and
∗ sedative actions
∗ Do not affect course of the illness
COMMON COLD
85.
86. ∗ Promethazine, Diphenhydramine are useful
∗ Prevent motion sickness
∗ Promethazine (Phenergan) is useful in morning
sickness
∗ Drug induced vomiting
∗ Postoperative vomiting
∗ Radiation sickness
AS ANTIEMETIC
87.
88.
89.
90.
91.
92. ∗ Cinnarizine is useful
∗ It modulates Ca++ fluxes
∗ Have additional anticholinergic, sedative, vasodilator
property
∗ Widely used
∗ Useful in Meniere’s disease
∗ Side effects are sedation and GI upset
VERTIGO
93.
94. ∗ Diphenhydramine and promethazine are
useful
∗ Drug - induced acute dystonias are
∗ treated with parenteral promethazine,
∗ trihexyphenidyl
PARKINSONISM
95.
96.
97. ∗ As hypnotics -- specially in children
∗ (diphenhydramine and promethazine)
∗ likely to depress respiration
∗ Not as dependable as benzodiazepines
∗ Hydroxyzine is used in anxiety with autonomic
symptoms
AS SEDATIVE, HYPNOTIC, ANXIOLYTIC
98.
99.
100. ∗ As antitussive in cough
∗ Afford symptomatic relief
∗ (diphenhydramine- benadryl cough formula)
∗ Preanaesthetic medication - promethazine
OTHER USES
101.
102.
103.
104. ∗ H1 receptor blockers marketed after 1980
∗ Have higher H1 selectivity
∗ No CNS depression
∗ No anticholinergic side effects
∗ Act by additional antiallergic mechanisms
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS
105.
106.
107.
108. ∗ No sleepiness
∗ Do not impair psychomotor performance
∗ (not contraindicated in drivers)
∗ Do not potentiate alcohol or benzodiazepines
∗ Have long duration of action
ADVANTAGES
109.
110.
111. ∗ Have narrow spectrum of
usefulness
∗ Have poor antipruritic ,
antiemetic action
∗ Poor antitussive
∗ Expensive
DISADVANTAGES
112. ∗ First SGA
∗ When CYP3A4 inhibitors (like erythromycin,
ketoconazole) are administered concurrently produces
fatal polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
(torsades de pointes)
∗ WITHDRAWN by most manufacturers
TERFENADINE
113.
114.
115.
116. ∗ Active metabolite of terfenadine
∗ Does not produce torsades de pointes
∗ Not entirely safe
∗ Does not cross BBB
∗ Free of anticholinergic side effects
∗ Duration of action 24 hrs
∗ Caution in patients with long QT interval, bradycardia,
hypokalemia
∗ Available as allegra
FEXOFENADINE

∗ Highly effective in urticaria and atopic dermatitis
LORATADINE
120. ∗ Active metabolite of loratadine
∗ Effective at half the dose
∗ No CNS effect

DESLORATADINE
121. ∗ Penetrate brain poorly
∗ Not metabolized
∗ Also inhibits release of histamine – extra
benefit in allergic disorders
∗ Higher and longer lasting concentration in skin
∗ Once daily dose
∗ Does not produce arrhythmias
∗ Levocetirizine effective at half the dose
CETIRIZINE
122.
123.
124.

reaction triggered by LTs, PAF
