Mechanisms of Action of Caffeine caffeine blocks adenosine receptors
![Page 12: CNS STIMULANTS. l PSYCHOMOTOR STIMULANTS l CAUSE EXCITEMENT & EUPHORIA l INCREASE MOTOR ACTIVITY l PSYCHOTOMIMETIC DRUGS l PROFOUND CHANGES IN THOUGHT](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649e3c5503460f94b2eaa1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
many headache OTC drugs have caffeine in them
for vascular (migraine) headaches for diuretic for mild assist to memory, concentration,
learning for ADHD, for narcolepsy (a “poor man’s
speed”) for weight loss as a respiratory stimulant (e.g. asthma, central
sleep apnea)
Therapeutic Uses of Caffeine
![Page 13: CNS STIMULANTS. l PSYCHOMOTOR STIMULANTS l CAUSE EXCITEMENT & EUPHORIA l INCREASE MOTOR ACTIVITY l PSYCHOTOMIMETIC DRUGS l PROFOUND CHANGES IN THOUGHT](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649e3c5503460f94b2eaa1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
daily use of caffeine can induce significant degree of tolerance and physical dependence
caffeine withdrawl Sxs: moderate to severe headache
drowsiness, fatigue, less alert, less active, lethargy
Anxiety or depression flu-like Sxs (malaise, muscle aches, abdominal
cramps, etc.) nausea, vomiting irritability
