| Histamine H2 antagonists | They block histamine at the H2 receptor sites within the parietal cells of the stomach. Blocking histamine decreases stomach acid production.
-Uses: treatment of ulcers; prevention of ulcers or gastritis; treatment of GERD.
🗑

| Calcium Channel Blockers -Specific | Decreased contractility; decreased heart rate (SA and AV nodes); lowers systemic blood pressure (relax blood vessels); increases blood flow to the heart (dilating coronary arteries).
-Used for HTN, angina, and certain dysrhythmias
🗑
|
||||
| Loop diuretic | -Used for heart failure, pulmonary edema, HTN.
🗑
|
||||
| Cardiac Glycoside | Increases the force of myocardial contractility (HF); decreases speed of conduction through the AV node, thus slowing heart rate (rapid A-Fib)
🗑
|
||||
| Narcotics | Depresses pain impulse transmission at the spinal cord level by interacting with opioid receptors.
-Used for acute and chronic moderate to severe pain.
