Use dependent

18
Q

Propenalol and Atenolol

A

Beta1 selective blockers (anti-dysrhythmic)

Class II

19
Q

Amiodarone

A

Class 3 antidysrhythmic
Prolongs AP
Blocks Ina or Ik depending

20
Q

Verapamil

A

Cardioselective Ca2+ channel blocker

Class IV antidysrhthmic

21
Q

Digoxin

A

So less Na+ gradient for Ca2+ removal
For heart failure

22
Q

Dobutamine

A

Beta 1 agonists for circulatory shock or during heart surgery

23
Q

A

Ca2+ sensitiser

Can cause long QT syndrome

25
Q

Milrinone

A

PDE3 inhibitors for heart failure

Can cause dysrhythmias

26
Q

Methyxanthanes

A

Non specific PDE inhibitor and A1/2 antagonist

27
Q

A

Binds plasminogen activator to activate

28
Q

Alteplase

A

Tissue plasminogen activator that acts preferentially in clots

29
Q

Clobidogrel

A

Inhibits platelet aggregation via inhibiting ADP binding

30
Q

Eptifibatide/Abciximab/Tirofiban

A

Inhibitor of IIb/IIIa complex to stop cross linking

31
Q

Heparin

A

Activates antithrombin III which inactive thrombin and X

32
Q

Warfarin

A

Blocks Na+/K+/2Cl- on TAL
Rapid venodilation
Gout, hypokalaemia

35
Q

Thiazide diuretics; Hydrochlorothazide, Bendroflumethiaziole

A

Blocks Na+/Cl- on TAL/distal tubule

hypokalaemia, gout

36
Q

A 
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
Blocks H+ provision for Na+ reabsoption
For glaucoma
Less effective

A

ACE inhibitor

For heart failure and hypertension

40
Q

Losartan

A

AT1 blocker
