Combines with ATP to form thiamine pyrophosphate coenzyme, a necessary component for carbohydrate metabolism. The brain is extremely sensitive to thiamine deficiency.
Card 263
Question
TRANEXAMIC ACID (TXA, Cyklokapron) MOA
Answer
Reduces plasminogen activation, mitigating conversion to plasmin.
Card 264
Question
VASOPRESSIN (Pitressin) MOA
Answer
Vasopressin acts by direct stimulation of smooth muscle receptors. When given in extremely high doses, it acts as a noradrenergic peripheral vasoconstrictor.
Card 265
Question
VECURONIUM (Norcuron) MOA
Answer
Vecuronium is an intermediate-acting, non-depolarizing, neuromuscular blocking agent. Non-depolarizing agents produce skeletal muscle paralysis by blockade at the myoneural junction. Unlike depolarizing agents, vecuronium has little agonist activity, with no depolarizing effect at the motor endplate.
Card 266
Question
VERAPAMIL (Isoptin) MOA
Answer
Verapamil inhibits the movement of calcium ions across cell membranes. The slow calcium ion current blocked by verapamil is more important for the activity of the sinoatrial node and atrioventricular node than for many other tissues in the heart. Verapamil decreases atrial automaticity, reduces atrioventricular conduction velocity, and prolongs the atrioventricular nodal refractory period. In addition, verapamil depresses myocardial contractility, reduces vascular smooth muscle tone, and dilates coronary arteries and arterioles in normal and ischemic tissues.
