MOA of Penicillin is

Inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis and binds to Penicillin-Binding-Protein

Acts on Nephron in kidneys, Increases water excretion, mobilisation of excess fluid from body and lowers blood pressure.

MOA of Frusemide

Acts on dopamine receptor, Stimulatenupper GI tract, Anti-Emetic actions by gastric emptying.

Acts on Nephron in kidneys, Increases water excretion, mobilisation of excess fluid from body and lowers blood pressure.

MOA of Ampicillin

Inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis and binds to Penicillin-Binding-Protein

Acts on brain and periphery which relieves allergies and lessens nausea and vomiting, it induces sedation too.

MOA of Metoclopramide

Acts on dopamine receptor, Stimulatenupper GI tract, Anti-Emetic actions by gastric emptying.

Binds to opiates receptor in CNS, inhibits peristalsis causing constipation

MOA of cloxacillin

Inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis and binds to Penicillin-Binding-Protein

A synthetic adrenocorticorsteroids which suppresses inflammation, adrenal function and immune response. Is a multiple steroids that cannot be stop abruptly. **All steroids meds cannot be stop abruptly same as HYDROCORTISONE

MOA of diazepam

Inhibit synthesis of bacterial cell wall and binds to the Penicillin-binding-protein

Acts on benzodiazepam receptor and cause systemic effects

MOA of amoxicillin

Inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis and binds to Penicillin-Binding-Protein and calvunic acid block the bacterial enzyme and prevent breakdown of amoxicillin

Secreted by BETA CELLS of pancreas and is a pricipal hormone for glucose use in normal metabolic process.

MOA of Promathezin

Acts on the ribosome and inhibits internal protein synthesis

Acts on brain and periphery which relieves allergies and lessens nausea and vomiting, it induces sedation too.

MOA of Tazocin

Inhibit synthesis of bacterial cell wall and binds to the Penicillin-binding-protein

Disrupt bacterial DNA in dividing and non dividing cells

MOA of Dexamathasone

Transmission of nerve impulses and facilitate contraction of smooth muscle, skeletal and cardiac muscle. Maintenance of renal function, acid base balance and carbohydrate metabolism

MOA of Cefazolin

Disrupt bacterial DNA in dividing and non dividing cells

Inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis and binds to Penicillin-Binding-Protein

MOA of Soluble Insulin

Secreted by BETA CELLS of pancreas and is a pricipal hormone for glucose use in normal metabolic process.

Used for clotting as it blocks endogenous clotting mechanism which inhibits clotting by the action of anti-thrombin 3

MOA of Ceftriaxone

Interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis

Inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis and binds to Penicillin-Binding-Protein

MOA of Heparin

Used for clotting as it blocks endogenous clotting mechanism which inhibits clotting by the action of anti-thrombin 3

Direct stimulatory effect that Helps to increase Blood pressure. Dopanergic low dose → Beta adrenergic Moderate dose → alpha adrenergic high dose

MOA of Metronidazole

Disrupt bacterial DNA in dividing and non dividing cells

Inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis and binds to Penicillin-Binding-Protein

MOA of Dopamine

Used for clotting as it blocks endogenous clotting mechanism which inhibits clotting by the action of anti-thrombin 3

Direct stimulatory effect that Helps to increase Blood pressure. Dopanergic low dose → Beta adrenergic Moderate dose → alpha adrenergic high dose

MOA of Meropenam

Interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis

Acts on the ribosome and inhibits internal protein synthesis

MOA of Morphine

Binds to opiates receptor in CNS, inhibits peristalsis causing constipation

Binds to steroids called ergosterol at fungal membrane (OIL BASED)

MOA of Amikacin

Acts on the ribosome and inhibits internal protein synthesis

Binds to steroids called ergosterol at fungal membrane (WATER BASED)

MOA of Ranitidine

Transmission of nerve impulses and facilitate contraction of smooth muscle, skeletal and cardiac muscle. Maintenance of renal function, acid base balance and carbohydrate metabolism

Inhibit histamine release and reduce gastric acid

MOA of Gentamicin

Acts on bacterial ribosomes and inhibits protein synthesis

Binds to bacterial cell wall inhibit synthesis, acts on different side of penicillins

MOA of Potassium Chloride

Binds to steroids called ergosterol at fungal membrane (OIL BASED)

Transmission of nerve impulses and facilitate contraction of smooth muscle, skeletal and cardiac muscle. Maintenance of renal function, acid base balance and carbohydrate metabolism

MOA of vancomycin

Interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis

Binds to bacterial cell wall inhibit synthesis, acts on different side of penicillins

MOA of Amphotericin B Liposomal

Binds to steroids called ergosterol at fungal membrane (OIL BASED)

Inhibit histamine release and reduce gastric acid

MOA of mphotericin B Ambisome
