B: 17-20 Flashcards
Ca2+ ch. blockers
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
Dihydropiridines
Nifedipine
Amlodipine
Felodipine
Nimodipine
-they bind EC portion of Ca ch Alpha-1 subunit

Which drug should wew give in case of Subarachnoid hemorrhage
Nimodipine
Verapamil indications
HTN
Angina (atherosclerotic , vasospastic)
Migrane prophylaxis
Anti arrhythmic class IV: AV node arrhythmia
NO releasing agents
Hydralazine
Hydralazine MOA, adminstration, duration
Induce release of NO from endothelial cells
Mainly arterial vasodil.
Orally active
6-8 h duration
Hydralazine indications
HTN
used in combo with isosorbide dinitrate in heart failure
Induces baroreceptor homeostatic compensatory response; must use w duiretic OR BB
Patient with HF and reduced ejection fraction can be given
Hydralazine + Isosorbide dinitrate
reduce mortality due to heart failure in African Americans.
Hydralazine side effects
Drug induced Lupus at high dose
Tachycardia
Na, H2o retension
causes baro-r homeostatic response ; must be combined with diuretic or BB
Endothelin antagonist
