Question | Answer |
Alpha Adrenergic Antagonist Agents | Action = dilate arterioles and veins and decreases blood pressure SE: OH Ex. Cardura, Minipress |
ACE Inhibitor Agents | Action=decrease blood pressure SE=hypotension, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia Capoten, Vasotec |
Antihyperlipidemia Agents | Break down LDL and increase HDL levels SE: headache, GI distress Lipitor, Zocor |
Antithrombotic Agents | Inhibit platelet aggregation and clot formation SE: hemorrhage, thrombocytopenia, liver toxicity Aspirin, Plavix |
Beta Blocker Agents | Decrease the myocardial o2 demand by decreasing heart rate and contractility SE-bradycardia, cardiac arrhythmias Tenormin, Lopressor, Inderal |
Calcium Channel Blocker Agents | Decrease entry of Calcium into vascular smooth muscle cells resulting in diminished myocardial contraction, vasodilation, and decreased o2 demand SE=hypotension, dizziness, headache ex=Procardia, Cardizem |
Diuretic Agents | Diuril, Lasix |
Nitrate Agents | Decrease ischemia through smooth muscle relaxation and dilation of vessels se=the norm Nitrostat, Nitroglycerin |
Positive Inotropic Agents | Increase the force and velocity of myocardial contraction, slow heart rate Digoxin |
Thrombolytic Agents | Breaks down clots SE-hemorrhage, Urokinase, Activase |
Antihistamine | Blocks the effects of histamine side effects-OH, arrythmias,Gi distress, drowsness, thickening of bronchial secretions |
Anti-inflammatory agents | Prevent inflamma-mediated bronchoconstriction by inhibiting production of inflammatory cells SE-systemic - damage of supporting tissues, skin breakdown, osteoporosis, glaucoma, delayed growth, local effects - nasal irritation and dryness,bloody sputum |
Brochodilator Agents | side-effects=dry mouth, gi distress, chest pain, palpitations, tremor, nervousness ex-Atrovent, Albuterol, Serevent |
Expetorant Agents | Increase respiratory secretions to loosen mucus SE=GI distress, drowsiness |
