| captopril (Capoten) enalapril (Vasotec) fosinopril (Monopril) lisinopril (Prinivil) | ACE inhibitors |
| losartan (Cozaar) valsartan (Diovan) irbesartan (Avapro) | ARBS |
| ACE inhibitors: monitor for | non-productive cough, hypotension, monitor potassium level |
| nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia) verapamil (Calan) diltiazem (Cardizem) amlodipine (Norcasc) | Calcium Channel Blockers |
| ACE inhibitors | block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II in the lungs |
| ARBs | selectively block the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors found in tissues |
| Calcium Channel Blockers | slows movement of calcium into smooth muscle cells, resulting in arterial dilation and decreased blood pressure |
| Calcium channel blockers: contraindications | contraindicated for clients with heart failure, heart block, or bradycardia; do not consume grapefruit juice |
| prazosin (Minipress) doxazosin mesylate (Cardura) | Alpha Blockers |
| Alpha Blockers: monitor for | dizziness, fainting, take at bedtime, no OTC drugs |
| clonidine (Catapres) guanfacine HCL (Tenex) methyldopa (Aldomet) | Centrally Acting Alpha-2 Agonists SE - black/sore tongue, leukopenia Interventions - notify physician of an involuntary jerky movements, prolonged dizziness, rash, yellowing of skin |
| metoprolol (Lopressor) atenolol (Tenormin) | Selective Beta-blockers |
| propranolol (Inderal) nadolol (Corgard) labetalol (Normodyne) | Non-selective Beta-blockers (DO NOT administer to pts with asthma, bronchospasm or heart failure) |
| nitroglycerin (Nitrostat IV) nicardipine (Cardene) clevidipine (Cleviprex) enalaprilat (Vasotec IV) | Vasodilators |
| Side effects of Vasodilators | profound hypotension, cyanide toxicity, headache, dizziness |
| digoxin (Lanoxin, Lanoxicaps, Digitek): Precautions | thiazide or loop diuretics increase risk of hypokalemia and precipitate dig toxicity |
| Digoxin toxicity S/S | GI effects - anorexia, N/V, abdominal pain CNS effects - fatigue, weakness, diplopia, blurred vision, yellow-green or white halos |
