Anti Hypertensives Flashcards
Anti hypertensive drugs focus on three main area which are
Blood vessels
Heart
Kidney
Example of loop diuretics include
Furosemide
Torsemide
Ethacrynic acid
Bumetanide
Classes of diuretics include
Osmotic diuretic
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
Loop diuretics
Thiazide
K+ sparing
Osmotic diuretics mechanism of action
They cause increase in water output by increasing the amount of solute in the urine
An example of osmotic diuretics drug
Mannitol
Mannitol is a ————- drug
An osmotic diuretic drug
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors drugs include
Acetazolamide
Dorzolamide
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor drugs MOA
Sha check your book for diagram
They work at the proximal convulated tubule
They function at the Na2+/H+ pump
For every hydrogen ion secreted into the urine a sodium is taken back into the blood
2) HCO3 + H+ = h2co3
H2co3 ———) H20 + CO2
gets back into the cell and releases anoda H+.
Loop diuretics function at where in the nephron
Thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle
Furosemide inhibits what pump?
Na2+\k+/2cl cotransporter pump
Side effect of carbonic anhydrase
Acidiosis
Bicabonaturia
Hypokalemia
Side effects of ethacrynic acid
Hypocalcemia
Hypokalemia
Hypomagnesia
Hyperuricemia= gout formation
Hydrochlorothiazide functions where in the nephron
Distal convulated tubule
Thiazide diuretics include
Hydrochlorothiazide
Chlorothiazide
Chlorothadoline
MOA of thiazides
Works at Na/cl2- pump
Inhibits it
Side effect of thiazide
Hypercalcemia
Gout
Hyperlipidimia ***
Hyperglycemia
Drugs that are potassium spearing include
Sprinolactone
Eplerenone
Traimterene
Amiloride
The diuretics that is good for hypocalcemia is
Thiazide diuretics
Spirinolactone causes
Gynecomastia
