Q

Ca2+ ch. blockers

A

Dihydropiridines: (selectively acts on coronary, arterioles)
-they bind EC portion of Ca ch Alpha-1 subunit

  • short acting (T1/2= 6 hrs) : Nifedipine, Nimodipin
  • moderate (T1/2= 8-20 hr) : Felodipine, Nitredipin, nisoldipin

long acting (T1/2= 35-50 hr)
Amlodipine,
Manidipin (has duiretic action, inhibit Na, H2o resorption)

Non: (act in heart, coronary, arterioles)
-Bind inner cytoplasmic part of alpha1 subunit

Verapamil, Diltiazem

-NEVER combine with BB bcz cardiac dep, AV block

steroid inhibitors of cytoplasmic Aldosterone-R in Cortical CD

18
Q

Spironolactone . eplerenone duration of action

A

24-72 h

19
Q

Spironolactone indications

A

Hyperaldestronism (primary conns disease, + secondary due to chronic HF , or hepatic cirrhosis)

Hypokalemia caused by other diuretics

Antiadronergic

20
Q

Spironolactone side effects

A

Hyperkalemic metabolic acidosis (decreases exc of K, H ). (increase exc of Na

Anti-adronergic effect (gynecomastia w/ spironolactone use only)

21
Q
