Decrease mortality in hypertension
What is Recommended for initial therapy
Thiazide and related diuretics
What is Recommended for isolated systolic hypertension in elderly
Thiazide and related diuretics
Thiazide and related diuretics: Mechanism Acute
Decrease plasma volume β‘ decrease CO β‘ decrease BP
Thiazide and related diuretics: Mechanism Chronic
Decrease TPR β‘ decrease BP
Thiazide and related diuretics: Adverse Affects
Hypokalemia
Sexual dysfunction
Hyperuricemia
Hyperglycemia
Thiazide and related diuretics: Drug Interactions (4)
Digoxin (hypokalemia)
Quinidine (hypokalemia)
NSAIDS (inhibit antihypertensive effect)
Antidiabetics (hyperglycemia)
Loop Diuretics Used as antihypertensive diuretic when GFR β
<30 ml/min
Loop Diuretics Used to combat
massive fluid retention induced by vasodilators
Loop Diuretics More effective than β as diuretics
thiazides as diuretics
Loop Diuretics Less effective than β as antihypertensives
thiazides
Potassium sparing Diuretics Used as
adjunctive drugs with thiazides and loop diuretics
Potassium sparing Diuretics Reduce/prevent hypokalemia induced by β and β
thiazide and loop diuretics
Potassium sparing Diuretic Adverse effects:
hyperkalemia
Potassium sparing Diuretic Spironolactone is a
Aldosterone Antagonist
Potassium sparing Spironolactone treats
Treat hypertension for primary hyperaldosteronism
Inhibitors of Renin Angiotensin System Mechanism cardiac effects
Decrease TPR, CO, and BP
ACE Inhibitors Used for (3)
diabetes
CHF
Post MI with systolic dysfuntion
ACE inhibitors drugs
Enalapril, lisinopril, benazepril, captopril, fosinopril
ACE Inhibitors Adverse Effects (6)
Renal Failure Fetopathic potential ( avoid in pregnancy Cough Hyperkalemia Rash Neutropenia
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) Drugs
Losartan, Valsartan, Eprosartan
When to use ARBs
Use where ACE inhibitors are indicated but not tolerated
