medication interferes with liver synthesis of Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors
Warfarin

Groups of antihypertensive medications (7)
-Angiotensin II receptor blockers
-ACE inhibitors
-Beta-Adrenergic Blocker & Calcium Channel blocker
-Centrally Acting Alpha-adrenergic
-Direct acting vasodilator
-HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors
-Nicotinic acid
Prevent aldosterone release and peripheral vasoconstriction by selectively blocking angiotensin II receptors
Angiotensin II receptor blocker
Losartan, Candesartan, Valsartan
Angiotensin II receptor blocker
Captopril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril
ACE inhibitor
Stimulates alpha-2 adrenoceptors receptors in the CNS, decreasing sympathetic nervous system activity
Centrally acting alpha-adrenergic
Clonidine, methyldopa, duraclon
Centrally acting alpha-adrenergic
Atorvastatin, gluvastatin
lovastatin
pitavastatin
simvastatin
rosuvastatin
HMG-COA reductase inhibitors
can treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as niacin deficiency; reduce risk of heart attack and slow narrowing of the arteries
nicotinic acid
Vitamin Bs
Niacin
Nicotinic acid
prevents blood cells called platelets from clumping together to form a clot and prolongs bleeding time
antiplatelet medication
aspirin
clopidogrel
anti platelet medication
Digoxin
cardiac glucoside (digitalis) medication
increases force of myocardial contraction and slows heart rate bus timulating the vagus nerve and blocking the AV node
Cardiac glycoside medication
Antianginal medication (5)
-nitroglycerin
-isosorbide
-beta blockers
-calcium channel blockers
-Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibiotrs
Propranolol
Metoprolol
Atenolol
Beta blockers
Amlodipine
Diltiazem
Verapamil
Calcium channel blockers
Thrombolytic medications
-Reteplase
-Alteplase
-Tissue plasminogen activator
-Anistreplase
-Streptokinase
break down plasminogen into plasmin, which dissolves the fibrin network of a clot
Reteplase & Alteplase
Bind with plasminogen to form a complex that digests fibrin
Anistreplase & Streoptokinase
Adverse effects of thrombolytic medications
bleeding
used to provide immediate relief from symptoms and prevent angina attacks
abtianginal medications
