Zestril and Prinivil / Lisinopril perpous
Prevents the formation of Angiotensin II, which is responsible for increasing blood pressure by constricting arteries, activating aldosterone, and increasing the blood volume the heart must pump
Cardura / Doxazosin perpous
Inhibits the constriction of arteries to decrease blood pressure
Cozaar / Losartan classification
Blocks the action of Angiotensin II, which causes blood vessels to dilate and reduce blood pressure
Toprol XL, Lopressor / Metoprolol perpous
Relaxes the heart muscle, which slows the heart rate and decreases blood pressure.
Norvasc / Amlodipine perpous
Inhibits the constriction of arteries and relaxes the heart to decrease blood pressure.
Lasix / Furosemide perpous
inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the proximal and distal tubules and the Loop of Henle found in the kidneys.
HZTZ / Hydrochlorothiazide purpose
inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the distal tubule. Both loop and thiazide diuretics increase renal output, resulting in a decrease of blood volume and, thus, lowering blood pressure.
Questran / Cholestyramine purposes
Binds intestinal bile acids
Zetia / Ezetimibe perpose
Inhibits cholesterol absorption in the small intestine.
Tricor / Fenofibrate perpose
Inhibits triglyceride synthesis and stimulates catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.
Atorvastatin / Lipitor purpose
Inhibits cholesterol synthesis
Niacin / Niacor purpose
Decreases hepatic LDL and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) production.
Lovaza / Fish oil purpose
Reduces hepatic triglyceride synthesis
