what is the ending of Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs)?
- tan
what is the ending of calcium channel blockers?
-pine
ACE inhibitor prototype and others
Captopril (Capoten)
Lisinopril, Enalopril, Ramipril
ACE inhibitor EPA
Captopril (Capoten)
Block enzyme that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II
decreases vasoconstriction, & aldosterone
reduces retention of sodium and water
leads to vasodilation & retention of K+
ACE inhibitor therapeutic use
Captopril (Capoten)
treats hypertension and heart failure
ACE inhibitor ADRs
Captopril (Capoten)
Orthostatic hypotension
dry non productive COUGH
hyperkalemia
angioedema
taste distortions
rash
ACE inhibitors contraindications
Captopril (Capoten)
teratogenic
liver disease w elevated liver enzymes
avoid NSAIDs
ACE inhibitors interventions and education
Captopril (Capoten)
avoid salt substitutes because they contain potassium
monitor BP before, during, after
warn about cough
monitor K+ for hyperkalemia
potassium serum normal range
3.5-5
ARBs prototype and others
Losartan (Cozaar)
Valsartan (Diovan), Irbesartan (Avapro)
ARBs EPA
Losartan (Cozaar)
Blocks vasoconstricting and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II
Increases renal blood flow
Vasodilation and retention of K+
ARBs therapeutic use
Losartan (Cozaar)
treatment of HTN
losartan can prevent strokes
diabetic neuropathy and heart failure
ARBs contraindications
Losartan (Cozaar)
teratogenic
children younger than 6
NSAIDs increase risk for renal complications
ARBs ADRs
Losartan (Cozaar)
angioedema
dizziness
hypotension
headache
insomnia
ARBs interventions and client education
Losartan (Cozaar)
monitor BP before, during, after
monitor potassium
monitor for angioedema
aldosterone antagonist prototype and others
Eplerenone (Inspra)
Spironolactone (Aldactone)
aldosterone antagonist EPA
Eplerenone (Inspra)
blocks aldosterone receptors thereby blocking effects of aldosterone
causes excretion of Na+ and water and retention of K+
aldosterone antagonist therapeutic use
Eplerenone (Inspra)
HTN and symptoms of heart failure following MI
aldosterone antagonist contraindications
Eplerenone (Inspra)
avoid other potassium raising meds
do not take if serum potassium >5
avoid if breastfeeding
caution in children
NSAIDs decrease affects
can cause lithium toxicity
