25
Q

Drug/nutrient interaction example

A

26
Q

Drug tx for patient with :

- diabetes (+complications)

A

ACEi or ARB

27
Q

Drug tx for patient with :

- diabetes (+ no complications)

A

ACEi or ARB or CCB or diuretics

28
Q

Drug tx for patient with :

- coronary artery disease

A

ACEi or ARB

29
Q

Drug tx for patient with :

- heart failure

A

ACEi or ARB + beta blockers

30
Q

Drug tx for patient with :

- coronary artery disease (+ stable angina)

A

beta blockers or CCB

31
Q

Loop diuretics generic name

A

furosemide (Lasix)

32
Q

Thiazides generic name

A

hydrochlorothiazide (Apo-Hydro)

33
Q

Potassium sparing generic name

A

spironolactone (Aldactone), triamterene, amiloride

34
Q

ACE inhibitors generic name

A

ramipril (Altace)

35
Q

ANG2 receptor blockers (ARB) generic name

A

Valsartan (Diovan)

Losartan (Cozaar)

36
Q

Calcium channel blockers generic name

A

Amlodipine (Norvasc)

37
Q

Beta-blockers generic name

A

Propanolol (Inderal), atenolol, metoprolol

38
Q

Low albumin affects drug effect how?

A

Increases drug effect because of more free drug in the blood

39
Q

2 types of diuretics

A
  • loop and thiazides

- K-sparing

40
Q

Loop and thiazides mechanism

A
  • decreased reabsorption of Na and K
  • production of osmotic diuresis
  • increased excretion of Na and K (and H+)
41
Q

K-sparing mechanism

A

inhibit action of aldosterone

42
Q

Loop and thiazides provided with

A
  • potassium rich food

- potassium supplements (side effects)

43
Q

WIth potassium sparing diuretics avoid

A

excess dietary potassium and supplements, avoid salt substitues, excess water consumption, natural liquorice

44
Q

Side effects of loop diuretics

A
hypokalemia 
hyperglycemia 
anorexia
nausea/vomiting
constipation
45
Q

SIde effects of thiazides

A
hypokalemia 
hyperglycemia 
anorexia
malaise
muscle weakness
46
Q

Side effects of potassium supplements

A

irritates mucosal lining, increased risk for ulceration, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea

47
Q

Mechanism of ACE inhibitors

A
  • inhibit conversion of ANG1 to ANG2

- decrease vasoconstriction, vasopressin, inhibit aldosterone release

48
Q

Side effects of ACE inhibitors

A

hypotension (older patients)
dry cough
may worsen renal function

49
Q

With ACE inhibitors avoid

A

salt substitutes

natural licorice

50
Q

Side effects of ACE inhibitors are increased in

A

African Americans

51
Q

When are ANG2 receptor blockers used

A

when ACEi are not tolerated

52
Q

Mechanism of ANG2 receptor blockers

A

Block ANG2 receptor and decrease its activity –> vasodilation, reduced vasopressin and aldosterone

53
Q

Side effects ANG2 receptor blockers

A

hyperkalemia, nausea, dizziness

54
Q

With ANG2 receptor blockers avoid

A

salt substitutes
natural licorice
grapefruit

55
Q

Mechanism of calcium channel blockers

A

affect movement of Ca through Ca channels causing blood vessel relaxation

56
Q

Side effects calcium channel blockers

A

edema, náuseas, heartburn

57
Q

With calcium channel blockers avoid:

A

natural liquorice
caffeine
alcohol
grapefruit

58
Q

Contraindication of calcium channel blockers with

A

heart failure

59
Q

Beta-blockers mechanism

A

block adrenergic beta-receptors in heart –> decrease rate and cardiac output

60
Q

Side effects beta-blockers

A

nausea/vomiting, constipation/diarrhea, bloating, masks symptoms of hypoglycaemia, dizziness, fatigue, CHF, hallucination, insomnia

61
Q

Beta-blockers not recommended if

A
  • diabetes mellitus

- initial therapy if >60y
