Renal Failure
and type II diabetes

20
Q

What are some adverse effects of aldosterone blockers?

A

Hyperkalemia, diarrhea, albuminuria, gynecomastia, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and hypercholesterolemia

21
Q

What is the beta-blocker suffix

A

-olol

22
Q

What is the beta-blocker prototype

A

Metoprolol

23
Q

How do beta-blockers work

A

they block the beta 1 and 2 receptor sites, decreasing cardiac contractibility, slowing the heart rate, bronchodilation, smooth muscle dilation

24
Q

What are the therapeutic effects of beta-blockers?

A

lower High blood pressure
Angina
CHF

25
Q

What are some contraindications for beta-blockers?

A

Bradycardia

hypersensitivity

26
Q

What are some ADR for beta-blockers?

A

Hypotension

hypoglycemia

27
Q

What is the prototype for Alpha 2 agonist?

A

COLODINE

28
Q

How does the Alpha 2 agonist work?

A

they work to simulate alpha 2 receptors that inhibit the SNS

29
Q

Therapeutic effect of alpha 2 agonists?

A

Lower blood pressure

30
Q

How do you administer Alpha 2 agonist?

A

Transdermal patch, orally

31
Q

Contraindications for alpha 2 agonist

A

hypersensitivity

32
Q

ADR for alpha 2 agonist

A

Dizzy, sedation

33
Q

What is the prototype for ALPHA/BETA blockers?

A

LABARTOL

34
Q

What are the theraputic uses for ALPHA/BETA blockers

A

reduce HTN

35
Q

How are A and B blockers administered?

A

Orally

36
Q

Contraindications for A and B blockers?

A

Asthma, bradycardia, heart block

37
Q

ADR for A and B blockers

A

Dizzy

fatigue

38
Q

Calcium channel blocker prototype (CCB)

A

amlodipine

39
Q

Therapeutic use for CCB

A

Agina

hypertension

40
Q

How are CCB administered?

A

Orally

41
Q

How do CCB work?

A

They stop Ca2+ from making it to the smooth muscle receptors, making the smooth muscle relaxed and in turn making the pressure go down

42
Q

Contraindications for CCB

A

Cardiogenic shock

unstable angina

43
Q

What do statins do?

A

Lowers LDL and raises HDL

44
Q

A

Thiazide

45
Q

What is the diuretic prototype

A

Fluorsomide

46
Q

Cardiac Glucosimide, Drug name

A

Digoxin

47
Q

What does Digoxin do?

A

It increases cellular calcium, increasing CO and renal production
