Ephedrine

-An alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonist that may also enhance release of norepinephrine. It has been
used in the treatment of several disorders including asthma, heart failure, rhinitis, and urinary
incontinence, and for its central nervous system stimulatory effects in the treatment of narcolepsy and
depression. It has become less extensively used with the advent of more selective agonists.

Dormicum

-A short-acting hypnotic-sedative drug with anxiolytic and amnestic properties. It is used in dentistry,
cardiac surgery, endoscopic procedures, as preanesthetic medication, and as an adjunct to local
anesthesia. The short duration and cardiorespiratory stability makes it useful in poor-risk, elderly, and
cardiac patients. It is water-soluble at pH less than 4 and lipid-soluble at physiological pH.

Ephineprine

-The active sympathomimetic hormone from the adrenal medulla in most species. It stimulates both the
alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic vasoconstriction and gastrointestinal relaxation,
stimulates the heart, and dilates bronchi and cerebral vessels. It is used in asthma and cardiac failure
and to delay absorption of local anesthetics.

Ethrane

-An extremely stable inhalation anesthetic that allows rapid adjustments of anesthesia depth with little change in
pulse or respiratory rate.

Ketalar

-A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood,
but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (receptors, N-methyl-D-aspartate) and may interact with sigma
receptors.

Halothane

-A nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon anesthetic that provides relatively rapid induction with little or no
excitement. Analgesia may not be adequate. nitrous oxide is often given concomitantly. Because halothane may
not produce sufficient muscle relaxation, supplemental neuromuscular blocking agents may be required.

Lasix

-A benzoic-sulfonamide-furan. It is a diuretic with fast onset and short duration that is used for edema and
chronic renal insufficiency.

Lidocaine

-A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its
effects more prolonged than those of procaine but its duration of action is shorter than that of bupivacaine or
prilocaine.

Bupivacaine

- A widely used local anesthetic agent.

Mannitol

- Mannitol BP is an osmotic diuretic that is metabolically inert in humans and occurs naturally, as a sugar
or sugar alcohol, in fruits and vegetables. Mannitol BP elevates blood plasma osmolality, resulting in
enhanced flow of water from tissues, including the brain and cerebrospinal fluid, into interstitial fluid and
plasma. As a result, cerebral edema, elevated intracranial pressure, and cerebrospinal fluid volume and
pressure may be reduced. Mannitol BP may also be used for the promotion of diuresis before irreversible
renal failure becomes established; the promotion of urinary excretion of toxic substances; as an
Antiglaucoma agent; and as a renal function diagnostic aid.

Nubain

- A narcotic used as a pain medication. It appears to be an agonist at kappa opioid receptors and an
antagonist or partial agonist at mu opioid receptors.

Methergin

- Methergine is a semisynthetic ergot alkaloid and a derivative of ergonovine and is used for the
prevention and control of postpartum and post-abortion hemorrhage. In general, the effects of all the ergot
alkaloids appear to results from their actions as partial agonists or antagonists at adrenergic,
dopaminergic, and tryptaminergic receptors.

Penthotal

- A barbiturate that is administered intravenously for the induction of general anesthesia or for the
production of complete anesthesia of short duration. It is also used for hypnosis and for the control of
convulsive states. It has been used in neurosurgical patients to reduce increased intracranial pressure. It
does not produce any excitation but has poor analgesic and muscle relaxant properties. Small doses have
been shown to be anti-analgesic and lower the pain threshold.

Phenergan

- A phenothiazine derivative with histamine H1-blocking, antimuscarinic, and sedative properties. It is

used as an antiallergic, in pruritus, for motion sickness and sedation, and also in animals.

Prostigmine

- An anticholinesterase drug that is used for most commonly to stimulate muscle control. Its
action is to competitively inhibits acetylcholine (ACh) from attaching to acetylcholinestase
(AChE) binding sites, where ACh is normally broken down by hydrolysis. This allows ACh to
persist for a longer period of time enhancing transmission across neuromuscular junctions.

Sensorcaine

- A widely used local anesthetic agent.

Sodium Bicarbonate

- A white, crystalline powder that is commonly used as a pH buffering agent, an electrolyte replenisher,
systemic alkalizer and in topical cleansing solutions.
Stadol

- A synthetic morphinan analgesic with narcotic antagonist action. It is used in the management of severe
pain.

Syntocinon

- Synthetic 9 residue cyclic peptide. The hormone is prepared synthetically to avoid possible
contamination with vasopressin (ADH) and other small polypeptides with biologic activity.

Toradol

- A pyrrolizine carboxylic acid derivative structurally related to indomethacin. It is an NSAID and is used
principally for its analgesic activity.

Voltaren

- A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) with antipyretic and analgesic actions. It is primarily
available as the sodium salt.

Magnesium Sulfate

- A small colorless crystal used as an anticonvulsant, a cathartic, and an electrolyte replenisher in the
treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. It causes direct inhibition of action potentials in myometrial
muscle cells. Excitation and contraction are uncoupled, which decreases the frequency and force of
contractions.

Amoxicillin

- A broad-spectrum semisynthetic antibiotic similar to ampicillin except that its resistance to gastric acid
permits higher serum levels with oral administration.

Ampicillin

- Semi-synthetic derivative of penicillin that functions as an orally active broad-spectrum antibiotic.

Anectine

- A quaternary skeletal muscle relaxant usually used in the form of its bromide, chloride, or iodide. It is a
depolarizing relaxant, acting in about 30 seconds and with a duration of effect averaging three to five
minutes. Anectine is used in surgical, anesthetic, and other procedures in which a brief period of muscle
relaxation is called for.

Atropine Sulfate

- An alkaloid, originally from Atropa belladonna, but found in other plants, mainly solanaceae.

Benadryl

- A histamine H1 antagonist used as an antiemetic, antitussive, for dermatoses and pruritus, for
hypersensitivity reactions, as a hypnotic, an antiparkinson, and as an ingredient in common cold
preparations. It has some undesired antimuscarinic and sedative effects.

Buscopan
- An alkaloid from Solanaceae, especially Datura metel L. and Scopola carniolica. Buscopan and its
quaternary derivatives act as antimuscarinics like atropine, but may have more central nervous system
effects. Among the many uses are as an anesthetic premedication, in urinary incontinence, in motion
sickness, as an antispasmodic, and as a mydriatic and cycloplegic.

Demerol

- A narcotic analgesic that can be used for the relief of most types of moderate to severe pain, including
postoperative pain and the pain of labor. Prolonged use may lead to dependence of the morphine type;
withdrawal symptoms appear more rapidly than with morphine and are of shorter duration.

Dextran

- Iron dextran is a dark brown, slightly viscous liquid complex of ferric hydroxide and dextran for
intravenous or intramuscular use. Infed is used for the treatment of patients with documented iron
deficiency in which oral administration is unsatisfactory or impossible.

Diazepam

- A benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, and amnesic properties and
a long duration of action. Its actions are mediated by enhancement of gamma-aminobutyric acid activity.
It is used in the treatment of severe anxiety disorders, as a hypnotic in the short-term management of
insomnia, as a sedative and premedicant, as an anticonvulsant, and in the management of alcohol
withdrawal syndrome.

Dormicum

- A short-acting hypnotic-sedative drug with anxiolytic and amnestic properties. It is used in dentistry,
cardiac surgery, endoscopic procedures, as preanesthetic medication, and as an adjunct to local
anesthesia. The short duration and cardiorespiratory stability makes it useful in poor-risk, elderly, and
cardiac patients. It is water-soluble at pH less than 4 and lipid-soluble at physiological pH.
