Exam 6 lecture 2 Flashcards
ACEi inhibits conversion of
ANG I to ANG II
How do ARBs work
Block the effects of ANG II by binding to target receptors
Renin inhibitors MOA
Inhibit Antiotensinogen to ANG I conversion
All ACe I drugs end with
-pril
ACE i dosing
Most are dosed once a day
captoptril is dosed 2-3 times a day
Dosing strategy for ACE i drugs
Never start on a max dose, always start on lowest possibel dose
Dose at night for BP dip overnight
adverse effects of ANg i
Angioedema, cough, hyperkalemia, acute renal failure
CI of ACE i
Hx of angioedema on an ACE i
concomitant use of aliskiren in pts with DM
Pregnant/nursing
if hx of angioedema/cough of ACE we use
ARB
ARBs all end with
-sartan
Dosing of ARBs
Losartan and Eprosartan only doses given twice
All other once
adverse effects of ARBs
Angioedema, hyperkalemia, acute renal failure
CI of ARBs
Angioedema on ARBs
Concomitant use of aliskiren in pts with DM
Pregnancy/nursing
ACEi/ARB monitoring
check baseline for K and renal function
Check BMP within 1 week for elderly
In low risk pts or ots with K<4.5 wait 3-4 weeks before initial assesment
check 3-4 weeks after initiation if elevated Scr or K at 1-2 weeks
When to hold or reduce ACI/ARB dose
if K>5.5
Scr>30%
direct renin inhibitor drug name
Aliskiren
CI of aliskiren
Concomitant use with ACE or ARB in DM pts
Dosing of Aliskiren
QD
Monitoring parameters for aliskiren
K, BUN, SCr
Adverse effects of Alsikiren
NO cough
Diarrhea, h/a, hyperkalemia, renal insufficiency, dizziness
