Antihypertensive Drugs to Know and MoA Flashcards
felodipine
Vasodilators ( Ca channel blockers)
irbesartan
Angiotensin receptor blocker
aliskiren
renin inhibitor
this drug is converted to methyNE and diminishes adrenergic outflow from CNS
methyldopa ( central acting alpha 2 agonist)
acebutolol
beta 1 selective beta blocker
nifedipine
Vasodilators ( Ca channel blockers)
Trandolapril
ACE inhibitor
nisoldipine
Vasodilators ( Ca channel blockers)
nebivolol
beta 1 selective beta blocker
telmisartan
Angiotensin receptor blocker
Captopril
ACE inhibitor
verapimil
Vasodilators ( Ca channel blockers)
methyldopa
alpha 2 agonist
these drugs lower bp by decreasing cardiac output; they block beta receptors -> decrease sympathetic outflow from the CNS and inhibit the release of renin
beta Adrenoceptor blocking agents
Enalapril
ACE inhibitor
terazosin
alpha blocker
Benazepril
ACE inhibitor
Moexipril
ACE inhibitor
labetalol
beta blocker
these drugs block the inward movement of Ca -> causes muscle to relax;
Ca channel blockers
fenoldopam
Parenteral agents
Ramipril
ACE inhibitor
