U for ACEi
HT and HF
Egs ACEi
pril
SE ACEi
dry cough
when are ACEis contraindicated?
pregnancy and renal issues
ARB MOA
binds to angiotensin II receptors instead of angiotensin II receptors preventing rise in BP as no RENIN
Uses of ARB
HT, HF
Egs ARBs
sartan
Contraindications of ARB
renal and pregnancy
MOA beta blockers
binds instead of adrenaline to B receptors decreasing HR
what g protein does Bblockers bind to?

when are alpha 1 antagonists used?
resistant HT
names alpha 1 anatgonist
‘sins’
MOA CCBs
block Ca2+ going into cells reducing contractiility decreasing CO and hence MAP
MAP equation with CO
MAP = CO X TVR
Use CCBs
