Pharm 2 quiz 1 Flashcards
Irbesartan
Angiotensin-2-receptor blockers (for HTN and heart failure) MOA: Reduces water retention; decreased preload and afterload for increased CO.
Carvedilol
non-selective beta blocker (for HTN, angina, AND heart failure). MOA: Decreases CO and renin. This reduces negative effects of heart remodeling
Nisoldipine
Calcium channel blocker (vasodilator for HTN and Angina). MOA: Dilates arteries by blocking inward Ca to prevent muscle contraction
Bumetanide
Loop Diuretic, antiHTN, and heart failure med.MOA: Inhibits Na/K/2Cl cotransporter in ascending loop of Henle, causing Na, K, Ca, and water excretion. lowers peripheral resistance
Nitroprusside (Nitropress)
Parenteral agent (Vasodilator for HTN and heart failure). MoA: increases cGMP, > NO increases to cause rapid vasodiation
Atenolol
Beta 1 blocker (for HTN and angina). MOA: Decreases CO and renin and increases NO production causing vasodilation
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)
Thiazide diuretic, antiHTN, and heart failure med. MOA: inhibits Na/Cl cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule, causing Na,Cl, K, and water excretion (retains Ca). lowers peripheral resistance
Aliskiren
Renin inhibitor (for HTN), MOA: decreases blood volume
Milrinone
Inotrope (for heart failure). MOA: this phosphodiesterase inhibitor causes increase of cAMP, increases Ca
Diltiazem
Calcium channel blocker (vasodilator for HTN and Angina). MOA: Dilates arteries by blocking inward Ca to prevent muscle contraction
Fenoldopam
Parenteral agent (Vasodilator for HTN). MOA: Peripheral dopamine-1 receptor agonist to increase renal blood flow
Metoprolol
Beta 1 blocker (for HTN, angina AND heart failure). Decreases CO and renin and increases NO production causing vasodilation. This reduces negative effects of heart remodeling
Methazolamide
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors (diuretic). MOA: CAI affects proximal convoluted tubule, reduces Na/Cl/bicarb reabsorption, excretes water/K/some Na
.
Isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur, Ismo)
Organic Nitrate (for angina) MOA: Increases NO and cGMP (both for dilation)
Prazosin (Minipress)
Alpha blocker (for HTN). MOA: Relaxes arterial and venous smooth muscle
Hydralazine
Vasodilator (for HTN and heart failure). MOA: Increases NO
Acebutolol
Beta 1 blocker (for HTN and angina). MOA: Decreases CO and renin and increases NO production causing vasodilation
Nicardipine
Calcium channel blocker (vasodilator for HTN and Angina). MOA: Dilates arteries by blocking inward Ca to prevent muscle contraction
Ranolazine (Ranexa)
Sodium channel blocker (for angina). MOA: Inhibits late phase of Na current to improve diastolic function
Propranolol
non-selective beta blocker (for HTN, angina). MOA: Decreases CO and renin
Losartan
Angiotensin-2-receptor blockers (for HTN and heart failure) MOA: Reduces water retention; decreased preload and afterload for increased CO.
Telmisartan
Angiotensin-2-receptor blockers (for HTN and heart failure) MOA: Reduces water retention; decreased preload and afterload for increased CO.
Enalapril
ACE inhibitor (for HTN and heart failure). MOA: Decreases angiotensin II and increases bradykinin, reducing water retention
Benazepril (Lotensin)
ACE inhibitor (for HTN and heart failure). MOA: Decreases angiotensin II and increases bradykinin, reducing water retention
Moexipril
ACE inhibitor (for HTN and heart failure). MOA: Decreases angiotensin II and increases bradykinin, reducing water retention
Esmolol
Beta 1 blocker (for HTN and angina). MOA: Decreases CO and renin and increases NO production causing vasodilation
Clevidipine
Calcium channel blocker (vasodilator for HTN and Angina). MOA: Dilates arteries by blocking inward Ca to prevent muscle contraction
Azilsartan
Angiotensin-2-receptor blockers (for HTN and heart failure) MOA: Reduces water retention; decreased preload and afterload for increased CO.
