A

propanolol
nadolol
timolol

23
Q

A and B blockers

A

carvedolol

labetolol

24
Q

ALPHABLOCKERS

A

drugs inhibit the alpha recpeptors
inhibit sympathetic stimulation of arterial contraction
decrease PVR

25
Q

Alpha 1 blockers (zosin)

A

Doxazosin
Prazosin
terazosin

26
Q

ANGIOTENSION RECEPTOR BLOCKERS

A

Blocks angiotensin II and increases PVR

27
Q

angiotensin receptors

A

AT1 and AT2

28
Q

functions of AT1

A

contraction of vascular smooth muscle
secretion of aldosterone
increase Na absorption
stimulation of cell growth in arteries and heart

29
Q

functions of AT2

A

plays a role in normal cardio and metabolic functions

30
Q

ARB drugs (sartans)

A

Candesartan
Losartan
Telmeisartan
valsartan

31
Q

ADRs of ARBs

A
hypotension
hyperkalemia
elevted liver enzyme
exacerbate existing kidney disease
should not be used on pregnant ladies
32
Q

Centrally acting sympatholytics

A

Clonidine

33
Q

clonidine functions

A

blocks alpha blockers,prevents NE reuptake from the sympathetic junction.inhibits sympathetic outflow

34
Q

Clonidine ADR

A
more than any other Anti HTN drugs
since it is working in the brain,
fatigue
sedation
lower mental acuity
dry mouth
Rebound HTN
35
Q

Other applications of Clonidine

A

helps with drug withdrawal and addiction
migraine prevention
ADHD

36
Q

clonidine is administered via

A

injection
oral
transdermal
epidural for cancer patients who is pain med tolerant

37
Q

ACE INHIBITOR

A

Inhibits the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II

38
Q

functions

A

decrease vasoconstritction
decrease aldsterone production
decrease NA reabsorption by the kindeys

39
Q

ADR for ACE Inhibitors

A

same as ARBs
Drycough due to the bradykini presence in the respiratory system
Angioedema-swelling of lips and skin and mucosa,enough to cut of O2 in the respiratory system.
Renoprotective in Dm patients
categoryC/D in pregant women ( not to be given)

40
Q

Ace inhibotors

A

PRILS

41
Q

PRILS

A
Benzopril
captopril
enalapril
lisinopril
ramipril
42
Q

DIURETICS

A

drugs that increas Na excretion,
resulting in natriuresis
brings about antihypertensvie activity

43
Q

two types of diuretics

A

Hydrochlorothiozide( thiazides)

potassium sparing diuretics

44
Q

hydrochlorothiozide (thiazides)

A

functions
blocks the Na reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule
if used in weeks or months-decreased PVR in the arterial smooth muscle cells due to Na depletion

45
Q

thiazides

A

used with other drugs
prevents fluid retention
often used with arbs and aces,since thiazides trigger renins synthesis

46
Q

ADR for thiazides

A
hypotension,dizziness
headache
hyponatremia
hyperkalemia
Increased blood glucose level
47
Q

Potassium sparing diuretics

A

amiloride
triamterne
spironolactone

48
Q

Amiloride/Triamterene functions

A

Na channel blocker
inhibits Na reabsorption at late distal convoluted tubule
reduces the secretion of K

49
Q

Spironolactone functions

A

Aldosterone antagonist
blocks the gene tht activates aldosterone
prevents sodium reabsorption
prevents potassium excretion

50
Q

Potassium sparing diuretics functions

A

used with other drugs to lower BP

Prevents compensatory fluid retention if used toe ACE I and ARBS

51
Q

ADRs of potassium sparing diuretics

A

Hypotension,hypotension,hyperkalemia
