Meds Flashcards
Thiazide Diuretics (3)
Chlorothiazide
Chlorthalidone
Hydrochlorothiazde
Thiazide MOA
Inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption in the THICK LOOP OF HENLE and EARLY DISTAL TUBULE
–> this increases urine volume causing a decrease in plasma volume
Thiazide- how does it affect the heart?
Decreases cardiac output and lowers stroke volume and lowers BP
Adverse effects of Thiazides (5)
Hypokalemia hypomagnesemia Hyperglycemia Hyperuricemia Hyperlipidemia
Ace Inhibitors
captopril enalapril Lisinopril Benazepril Fosinopril Ramipril Quinapril Moexepril
MOA of ACE
block the enzyme that converts ANgiotensin I to angiotensin II.
What is angiotensin II?
principal pressor in the RAAS responsible for vasoconstriction, synthesis, and release of aldosterone cardiac stimulation and renal absorption of sodium
What happens when Angiotensin II is blocked by ACE?
Vascular resistance is decreased and the secretion of aldosterone is decreased– decreased water and sodium retention
Adverse effects of ACE?
cough hypotension Rash Angioedema HYPERKALEMIA
Contraindication fo ACE?
PTs with renal artery stenosis d/t risk of renal failure
ACE inhibitors Clinical use?
First-line drug for HTN reduce proteinuria slow progression of neuropathy good for HTN CHF or HTN and DM Post MI
ARBS
Candesartan Eprosartan Irbesartan Losartan Olmesartan Telmisartan Varsartan
MOA of ARBS
INHIBITS/BLOCKS angiotensin II RECEPTOR!
MOA difference between ARBS And ACE?
ARB- block receptor
Ace- blocks enzyme
Adverse effcts of ARBs
Hyperkalemia Fatigue Headache Dizziness Insomnia SINUS CONGESTION
ARBs are contraindicated for which patients?
PT with renal artery stenosis
Why do some patients need ARB over ACE?
PT cannot tolerate ACE cough s/e
Indication of ARBS
HTN and CHF but not approved for post MI
