Vasodilators and Sympathomimetics - Kruse Flashcards
ending of dihydropyridine (DHP) calcium channel blockers (CCBs)
-dipine
non-DHP CCBs
- diltiazem
- verapamil
K+ channel openers
- diazoxide
- minoxidil
dopamine agonist
fenoldopam
NO modulators
- hydralazine
- nitroprusside
- isosorbide dinitrate
- nitroglycerin
ending of beta-andrenergic antagonist (beta-blockers)
-lol or -olol
alpha1-adrenergic antagonists (alpha1-blockers)
- doxazosin
- prazosin
- terazosin
centrally acting sympathoplegics (alpha2-agonists)
- clonidine
- guanabenz
- guanafacine
- methyldopa
MOA: DHP CCBs
block L-type Ca receptors (vasculature > cardiac)
MOA: non-DHP CCBs
nonselective block of L-type Ca channels
PK: CCBs
orally active w/ high first-pass metabolist
CCBs given IV
- nifedipine
- clevidipine
- verapamil
- diltiazem
T1/2 most CCBs
2-12 h
T1/2 amlodipine
35-50h
AE: DHP CCBs
- xs hypotension
- dizziness
- HA
- peripheral edema
- flushing
- tachy
- rash
- gingival hyperplasia
type of DHP used to tx chronic HTN
slow-release and long-acting
AE: non-DHP CCBs
- dizziness
- HA
- periperal edema
- constipation
- AV block
- brady
- HF
- lupus-like rash (diazetam)
- pulmonary edema
- coughing and wheezing
non-DHPs causing slow HR
verapamil > dilitiazem
non-DHE CCB that esp causes constipation
verapamil
mechanism by which CCBs cause worsening HF
negative ionotropic effect
DI: DHP CCBs
other vasodilators
DI: non-DHP CCBs
other cardiac depressants and hypotensive drugs
clinical uses of CCBs
long-term out-pt therapy for HTN, HTN emergencies, angina
MOA: diazoxide
opens K channels thereby hyperpolarzing membrane and reducing contractility
DOA: diazoxide
long-acting, 4-12 hours
administration: diaoxide
3-4 injections at 5-15 minute intervals PRN
AE: diazoxide
- xs hypotension (> in renal failure and beta-blocker pts)
- hyperglycemia
- H20 + Na retantion (v rare)
CI: diazoxide
-ischemic HR: causes angina, ischemia, CF
clinical use of diazoxide
HTN emergencies
MOA: minoxidil
opens K channels in smooth m thereby allowing hypepolarization leading to decreased contractility
phys effect of minoxidil
dilation of aa, not vv; > effect than hyralazine
AE: minoxidil
- HA
- sweating
- hypertrichosis
- reflex sympathetic stim
- Na H2O retention; leads to tachy, palpitations, angina, edema
what do you NEED to use with minoxidil and why?
- beta-blocker: avoid excess sympathetic stim
- loop diuretic: avoid edema
clinical uses of minoxidil
- LT out-pt therapy of severe HTN
- topically for hair growth
