responsible for normal development and maintenance of primary and secondary male sex characteristics

front 2

development of bone and muscle tissue

back 2

  • inhibition of protein catabolism (metabolic breakdown)
  • retention of carious electrolytes (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium)
  • stimulates the production of blood cells

front 3

ANDROGEN'S

-anabolic steroids

back 3

anabolic activity: synthesis of tissue and increasing tissue formation

  • schedule 3, great potential for tissue by athletes
  • oxymetholone (anadrol-50)
  • oxandrolone (oxandrin)
  • nandrolone (deca-durabolin)

front 4

androgens

-anabolic steroids: approved indications

back 4

  • use: treatment or hereditary angioedema, and, in women, endometriosis and fibrocystic breast disease

front 7

androgens

-mechanism of action

back 7

  • effects are similar to the body's endogenous androgens
  • stimulate increased synthesis of body proteins, aiding in the formation of muscular and skeletal proteins
  • enhanced erythropoiesis production by the kidneys
  • stimulate normal growth and development of the male sex organs (primary sex characteristics)

front 8

alpha-adrenergic blockers

back 8

  • used for symptomatic relief of obstruction caused by BPH
  • doxazosin (cardura)

  • terazosin (hytrin)
  • alfuzosin (uroxatral)
  • silodosin (rapaflo)

front 9

drug therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia

back 9

  • alpha-1 adrenergic blocking agents alfuzosin and tamsulosin are used to relax smooth muscle of bladder and prostate.
  • other alpha-1 adrenergic blocking agents are also used to treat hypertension

front 10

drug class: alpha-1 adrenergic blocking agents

back 10

BPH symptoms are similar to prostate cancer

action: block alpha-1 receptors on the prostate gland, causing muscle relaxation, allowing greater urinary outflow

front 11

alpha-1 - adrenergic blockers

back 11

  • these drugs have clinical effects of prostate shrinkage immediately.
  • 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may take up to 6 months of continual therapy for clinical effects of prostate shrinkage

front 12

drug: dutasteride (avodart)

back 12

actions: inhibits enzyme 5-alpha reductase, reduce DHT levels

uses:treatment of symptoms of BPH, reduces risks of urinary retention, minimizes need surgery for BPH
