Question | Answer |

What class of drugs deplete sodium stores and decreases blood volume? | Diuretics |
Which thiazide diuretic can be used with GFR less than 30 mL/min? | Metolazone (thiazide-like) |
Why is metolazone advantageous over loop diuretics? | More mild diuresis |
Which loop diuretic is the most potent? | Bumetanide |
Which loop diuretic has the longer duration of action? | Torsemide |
What is ethacrynic acid? | Loop diuretic |
What is eplerenone? | aldosterone receptor antagonist |
What is amiloride? | sodium channel blocker |
What medication(s) are centrally acting agents/vasomotor center? | methyldopa, clonidine |
What is the MOA of centrally acting sympathoplegic agents? | Bind to presynaptic alpha-2 receptors and decrease NE release/decrease outflow to vasculature |
Does methyldopa have CNS ADE? | yes (sedation, mental lassitude, decreased concentration) |
Which drug binds to the imidazoline receptor? | clonidine |
Which medications have withdrawal symptoms? | Clonidine, beta-blockers |
When is clonidine CI? | depression patients |
What is trimethaphan? | ganglion-blocking agent |
What is the MOA of ganglion blocking agents? | blocks nicotinic cholinoreceptors on postganglionic neurons (decrease sympathetic outflow) |
What are guanethidine and reserpine? | adrenergic neuron-blocking agents/sympathetic nerve terminals |
What amino acid is the precursor for NE? | tyrosine |
What is the MOA of reserpine? | prevents dopamine from entering vessicles |
What is the MOA of guanethidine? | prevents release of NE and depletes NE in vessicles via anesthesia of sodium conduction channels |
Does reserpine or guanethidine act peripherally but not centrally? | guanethidine |
Does reserpine or guanethidine irreversibly block uptake and storage of amines? | reserpine |
Which medication has EPS symptoms? | reserpine |
Why does reserpine act centrally and peripherally? | lippophilicity |
Where do beta-blockers work in the kidney? | Beta-1 receptors on granular cells of JG apparatus |
Where do beta-blockers work in the body? | Heart, brain, kidney (JG cells), presynaptic adrenergic neurons |
What drug is the prototype of non-selective beta blockers? | propranolol |
What are the indicators of beta-blockers in patients? | resting bradycardia, smaller rise in BP in exercise |
What drug is the prototype of cardioselective beta blockers? | metoprolol |
What drug is the prototype of long half life beta blockers? | atenolol |
How is atenolol excreted? | renally |
Which beta-blocker(s) have intrinsic sympathomimetic activity? (partial agonists) | pindolol, acebutolol |
Which drug is the prototype for mixed adrenergic antagonists? | labetolol |
What is the beta:alpa antagonist ration for labetolol? | 3:1 |
Which drug is the prototype for short half life beta blockers? | esmolol |
What is the MOA of alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonists? | block alpha-1 receptors and dilate arterioles and venules |
When are alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonists most effective? | In combo with diuretic or beta-blocker |
What do beta-blockers prevent? | reflex tachycardia |
What is a common ADE with alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonists? | first dose syncope |
What drug is the prototype for alpa-1 blockers? | prazosin |
Which alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonist is an irreversible blocker? | phenoxybenzamine |
Which drug has no MOA? | Hydralazine |
Which vasodilator dilates arterioles but not veins? | hydralazine, minoxidil, diazoxide |
Which vasodilator can have fast and slow metabolizers? | hydralazine |
Which medication can have a lupus-erythematosus-like syndrome ADE? | hydralazine |
What is minoxidil? | vasodilator |
What is the MOA of minoxidil? | opens K+ channels of smooth muscle (stabilizes membranes) |
Which vasodilator is used for hypertensive emergencies? | Sodium nitroprusside, diazoxide, fenoldopam |
Which vasodilator activates gyanylyl cyclase? | Sodium nitroprusside |
Which vasodilator dilates both arterioles and veins? | Sodium nitroprusside |
What is the "antidote" of cyanide accumulation? | sodium thiosulfate==> thiocyanate is still toxic |
Which vasodilator causes sodium natriuresis? | fenoldopam |
When should fenoldopam be avoided? | glaucoma patients |
What is the MOA of calcium channel blockers? | decrease sodium influx into arteriolar smooth muscle celsls |
What are the prototypes for DHP CCBs? | amlodipine, felodipine, and nifedipine |
