CLASIFICATION OF NERVIOS SYSTEM
DRUGS
• THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS CLASSIFIED INTO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM (CNS), WHICH INCLUDES THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD,
• PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS), WHICH CONSISTS OF SENSORY
AND MOTOR NEURONS. THEREFORE, WE WILL DIVIDE OUR DRUGS INTO
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DRUGS AND PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
DRUGS
CENTERAL NERVEOS SYSTEM
DRUGS
•CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) DRUGS CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO THREE
MAIN GROUPS
• DEPRESSANTS,
• CNS STIMULANTS
• , CNS MODULATING DRUGS
1. CNS STIMULANTS
THESE DRUGS INCREASE BRAIN ACTIVITY BY ENHANCING THE EFFECTS OF CERTAIN
NEUROTRANSMITTERS,
EXAMPLES
• METHYLPHENIDATE
• AMPHETAMIN
• MODAFINIL
• CAFFEINE
• COCAINE
SIDE EFFECT AND USAGE
USAGE SIDE EFFECT
• ANXIETY,
• MUSCLE SPASMS • LOW BLOOD
PRESSURE,
• SEIZURES.
• RESPIRATORY
• SLEEP
DEPRESSION
• DISORDERS
• BRADYCARDIA
• ANXIETY
• RAPID HEART
RATE.
2. CNS DEPRESSANTS
• THESE DRUGS REDUCE BRAIN ACTIVITY AND ARE USED TO TREAT ANXIETY,
INSOMNIA, SEIZURES, AND PAIN.
EXAMPLES
• DIAZEPAM
• PHENOBARBITAL
• LORAZEPAM
• ZOLPIDEM
USAGE AND SIDE EFFECT
USAGE SIDE EFFECT
• ANXIETY
• DROWSINESS,
• MUSCLE SPASMS
• DIZZINESS
• SEIZURES.
• CONFUSION,
• DEPENDENCE.
3. DRUGS FOR NEURODEGENERATIVE
DISEASES
• THESE DRUGS HELP MANAGE DISEASES LIKE PARKINSON'S AND ALZHEIMER'S
BY MODIFYING NEUROTRANSMITTER ACTIVITY.
EXAMPLES
• LEVODOPA/CARBIDOPA
• DONEPEZIL
• PRAMIPEXOLE
USSAGE AND SIDE EFFECT
USSAGE SIDE EFFECT
• NAUSEA
• MODERATE TO • VOMITING
SEVERE
ALZHEIMER’S
• DIZZINESS,
DISEASE. • WEIGHT LOSS
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM
• PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS) DRUGS CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO TWO
MAIN GROUPS BASED ON THEIR MECHANISM OF ACTION:
• . DRUGS THAT AFFECT THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (ANS)
• . NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS
1. DRUGS THAT AFFECT THE
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (ANS)
• THESE DRUGS INFLUENCE THE SYMPATHETIC AND
PARASYMPATHETIC SYSTEMS, REGULATING INVOLUNTARY
FUNCTIONS LIKE HEART RATE, DIGESTION, AND RESPIRATORY RATE.
EXAMPLES
• EPINEPHRINE
• ALBUTEROL
• BETHANECHOL
2. NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS
THESE DRUGS AFFECT VOLUNTARY MUSCLE CONTROL BY INTERFERING
WITH NEUROMUSCULAR TRANSMISSION.
EXAMPLE
• SUCCINYLCHOLINE
• ROCURONIUM
