MOA (PARA)

• What is the MOA for CEFAZOLIN?

  first generation cephalosporin antibiotic with activity against gram-negative and positive bacteria. It inhibits the production of the bacterial cell wall causing bacteria to die.
• What is the MOA for CEFTRIAXONE? cephalosporin antibiotic with activity against gram-negative and positive bacteria. It inhibits the production of the bacterial cell wall causing bacteria to die.
• What is the MOA for LEVETIRACETAM?

  Is an anticonvulsant. Thought to inhibit seizure activity by blocking calcium channels and binding synaptic proteins to modulate neurotransmitter release.
• What is the MOA for NALOXONE?

  Opiate receptor antagonist. Reverses the effects of opiates, particularly respiratory depression and sedation
• What is the MOA for OXYTOCIN?

  Synthetic version of the natural hormone oxytocin. Stimulates receptors in the uterus, causing increased contraction and reducing blood loss.
• What is the MOA for TXA?

  Is an antifibrinolytic medicine. It blocks the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. This reduces fibrinolysis (breakdown of blood clots) and bleeding
• What is the MOA for LIGNOCAINE?

  It is a local anaesthetic. It blocks the initiation and transmission of nerve impulses by blocking the movement of sodium ions across the nerve cell membrane.
• What is the MOA for CEFTRIAXONE?

  cephalosporin antibiotic with activity against gram-negative and positive bacteria. It inhibits the production of the bacterial cell wall causing bacteria to die.
• What is the MOA for KETAMINE?

  Has complex actions but is predominantly NMDA receptor antagonist resulting in inhibition of excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. Low doses cause analgesia, larger doses cause amnesia and dissociation. Higher doses cause anaesthesia.
• What is the MOA for FENTANYL?

  Is an opiate analgesic. Is an opiate agonist that binds to opiate receptors in the brain and spinal cord causing analgesia.
