Amilodipine
Ca channel blocker
DHP
Verapamil
Ca channel blocker
Non- DHP
Diltiazem
Ca channel blocker
Non-DHP
Ca channel blocker: MoA
Decrease Ca influx with Ca channel
Vascular effect: Arteriodilation (DHP> Non-DHP)
Cardiac effect: Inhibit L-type Ca channel
(decrease phase 0 depol of SA/AV
(decrease phase 2 of AP in muscle
Decrease HR, conduction, and contractility
(Non-DHP> DHP)
Ca channel blocker: use
Angina, Supraventricular tachycardia, Hypertension
Amilodipine: ADR
Hypotension, Edema, headaches
Verapamil: ADR
Hypotension
Diltiazem: ADR
CHF, AV block, Edema, Headache, Constipation
Ca channel blocker: Contra
Short acting agent
Severe hepatic dysfunction
Hypotension
For non-DHP

Beta blocker
Digoxin (only Verapamil)
Antiarrythmic drug
K-channel openers
Minoxidil
Minoxidil
K channel opener
Minoxidil: MoA
Increase K efflux from vascular smooth muscle
(Hyperpolarize and decrease TPR)
Marked compensatory response (Increase HR, CO, fluid retention)
Minoxidil: use
Refractory/ malignant hypertension
Minoxidoil: ADR
Marked fluid retention
Tachycardia
Pericardial effusion/ Cardiac tamponade
