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 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  
🗑
What are the prototypes for non-DHP CCBs?   verapamil and diltiazem  
🗑
