Q

Mechanism of cholinergic muscarinic antagonists

A

Block the CM effects of ACh

Anti-parasympathetic

17
Q

-olol

A

B blocker

18
Q

Examples of B blockers (2)

A

Metoprolol

Atenolol

19
Q

Mechanism of B blockers

A

Impede B1-mediated SNS effects

Vary in degree of specificity for B1 and B2 but generally refers to B1 receptors

20
Q

Amlodipine

A

Type L Ca channel antagonist

21
Q

Mechanism of Type L Ca channel antagonists

A

Block type L Ca channels in VSM

The channels mediate VSM contraction

22
Q

Examples of positive inotropics (3)

A

Epi
Norepi
Cardiac glycosides (ex: digoxin)

23
Q

Mechanism of positive inotropics

A

Enhance cardiac contractility and or rate

24
Q

Example of loop diuretic

A

Furosemide

25
Q

Mechanism of loop diuretics

A

Impair Na, K, Cl reabsorption by the kidney

This holds water in forming urine and induces diuresis

26
Q

Example of thiazide diuretics

A

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)

27
Q

Mechanism of thiazide diuretics

A

Impair Na reabsorption by the kidneys

Has other BP lowering effects (mechanism not well understood)

28
Q

Example of Ca channel blockers (2)

A

Verapamil

Dilitazem

29
Q

Mechanism of Ca channel blockers

A

Block cardiac type L channels
Delays AV nodal conduction
Negative inotropy
Little effect on non-cardiac type L channels

30
Q

Examples of B2 adrenoceptor agonists (2)

A

Albuterol

Salmeterol

31
Q

Mechanism of B2 adrenoceptor agonists

A 
Short acting (albuterol) and long acting (salmeterol) B2 agonists
Promote bronchiolar smooth muscle relaxation
32
Q

Mechanism of Fluticasone

A

Inhaled glucocorticoid receptor agonist

Anti-inflammatory

33
Q

Eplerenone

A

Aldosterone antagonist

34
Q

Spironolactone

A

Aldosterone antagonist
