| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Alpha 2 agonist | brimonidine clonidine |
| Non selective Beta Blocker | timolol |
| calcineurin inhibitor | cyclosporin |
| Alpha 1 agonist? | pseudoephedrine |
| Which medications are the NON-dihydropyridine CCB? | diltiazem verapamil |
| Which medications are the CCB? | amlodipine nifedipine nicardipine |
| what is the MOA of hydrocholothiazide | Hydrochlorothiazide (Hydrochlorothiazide) works by inhibiting the Na⁺/Cl⁻ cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule, increasing sodium and water excretion. |
| all beta blockers have the note to mask what? | Hypoglycemia |
| spironolactone MOA | Spironolactone (Aldactone) works by blocking aldosterone (mineralocorticoid) receptors in the distal nephron, decreasing sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion. This leads to mild diuresis while “sparing” potassium. |
| why is spironolactone potassium sparing? | Spironolactone (Aldactone) spares potassium because blocking aldosterone prevents Na⁺ reabsorption in exchange for K⁺ secretion, so less potassium is excreted into the urine. |
