CR3 pharm 1-3 Flashcards
First line drug in the treatment of primary hypertension
ACE inhibitors (Captopril, Enalapril, Lisinopril)
First line drug in the treatment of all stages of heart failure
ACE inhibitors (Captopril, Enalapril, Lisinopril)
which RAAS inhibitor can be given for acute MI
ACE inhibitors (Captopril, Enalapril, Lisinopril)
which RAAS inhibitor can be given for chronic renal disease. What is the mechanism at play
ACE inhibitors (Captopril, Enalapril, Lisinopril) - Slows the rate of decline in renal function hy reducing intra-glomerular pressure and by increasing permeability selectivity of the filtering membrane
Angioedema and cough are side effects of which drug class
ACE inhibitors (Captopril, Enalapril, Lisinopril)
Indication for use of Alisikren
Primary hypertension (not first line)
Side effects common to all RAAS inhibitors
GI distrubance, headache, dizziness, HYPOtension, Renal function impairment
indication for use of AT1 receptor Blockers (ARB)
Losartan and Valsartan are used as alternatives to ACE inhibitors (for patients who cant tolerate ACE inhibitors)
which drug/class is used to treat Angioedema (both hereditary and drug induced)
Bradykinin Receptor Blocker (Icatibant)
Name the endothelin receptor antagonists
Bosentsan (nonselective) and Ambresentan (Eta-selective)
Patient presents with Pulmonary and Atrial hypertension- drug of choice
endothelin receptor antagonists = Bosentsan or Ambresentan
Adverse effects of endothelin receptor antagonists
Headache, flushing, HYPOtension, peripheral edema, palpations, reflex tachycardia, increased hepatic enzymes
Contraindication for the use of endothelin receptor antagonists
pregnancy (teratogenic)
Acute decompensated heart failure - durg choice
IV Nestiritide (Natiuritic peptide antagonist)
Indication for the use of Sacubitril + Valsartan (what are the drug drug interactions and counteridications for this regimen)
Chronic Heart failure. DD= other RAAS inhibitors CI - History of Angioedema and ARB CI (pregnancy and bilateral renal stenosis)
MOA Aliskiren
supress plasma renin activity (prevent the conversion of Angiotensinogen to AGT1 resulting in reduced AT2 levels)
MOA ACE inhitors
inhibit the conversion of AT1 to AT2 (reduce circulating levels of AT2)
MOA Lossartan and Valsartan
Block the AT1 receptor leading to reduced circulating levels of AT2
MOA Icatibant
blocks bradykinin receptor thereby reducing vascular permeability
MOA Borsentsan and Ambrisentan
blocks endothilin receptors to relax smooth muscle
Nesiritide MOA
Naturietic peptide agonist - relax arteries and veins and promote diruresis and naturesis
Sacubitril MOA
Enhances the effects of ANP and BNO by blocking Neprilysin (the enzyme that breaks them down)
Name the thiazide diuretics
Hydrochlorothiazide and chlorthalidone
MOA Hydrochlorothiazide
Inhibits Na/Cl cotranporter in the DCT and enhanced Ca reabsortion in the PCT and DCT. Results in increased excretion of NaCl, K, and water and decreased excretion of Ca
MOA Chlorthalidone
Inhibits Na/Cl cotranporter in the DCT and enhanced Ca reabsortion in the PCT and DCT. Results in increased excretion of NaCl, K, and water and decreased excretion of Ca
MOA Furcosemide
inhibits Na/K/2Cl transporter in the thick ascending loop of henle. Results in increased excretion of NaCl, K, H20, Mg, and Ca in urine
Name the potassium sparing diuretics
Spironlactone and Epleronone
MOA Spironolactone
Calcium sparing diureticL Aldosterone receptor antagonist in the collecting tubule. Results in decreased Na and Cl reabsorption and preservation of K (ONLY CLASS OF DRUGS NOT REQUIRED TO BE SECRETED TO PRODUCE EFFECTS)
MOA Epleronone
Calcium sparing diuretic: Aldosterone receptor antagonist in the collecting tubule. Results in decreased Na and Cl reabsorption and preservation of K (ONLY CLASS OF DRUGS NOT REQUIRED TO BE SECRETED TO PRODUCE EFFECTS)
what diuretic is used to treat mild CHF
Thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide, Chlorothlidone)
what drug is used to treat lithium induced nephrogenic diabetes incipitous
Thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide, Chlorothlidone)
what diuretic can be used to relieve polyuria and polydipsia
thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide, Chlorothlidone)
what drug can be used to treat nephrolithiasis (kidney stones)
thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide, Chlorothlidone)
what drug can be used to treat diabetes incipitous
thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide, Chlorothlidone)
