|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diuretics | increase urine output by inhibiting sodium and water reabsorption by the kidneys
🗑
|
||||
| Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics | Increase urine output by promoting sodium, chloride, and water excretion.
Also causes loss of sodium potassium, and magnesium.
Calcium saved .
🗑
|
||||
| Loop Diuretics | Act on the loop of Henle to cause sodium and water loss.
Also causes loss of potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
🗑
|
||||
| Potassium-Sparing Diuretics | Mild Diuretic.
Promote sodium and water excretion and potassium retention by the kidney.
🗑
|
||||
| Beta Blockers | Decrease sympathetic nervous system response, resulting in decreased BP, HR, contractility, CO, and renin activity.
🗑
|
||||
| Alpha Blockers | Block effects of sympathetic nervous system on smooth muscle of blood vessels, resulting in vasodilation and decreased BP.
🗑
|
||||
| Combined Alpha and Beta Blockers | Block alpha-adrenergic receptors, causing vasodilation and reduced BP.
🗑
|
||||
| Central Acting Alpha Agonists | Block effects of sympathetic nervous system centrally.
🗑
|
||||
| ACE Inhibitors | Blocks production of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor.
Reduces peripheral arterial resistance and BP.
🗑
|
||||
| Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists (ARB) | Block angiotensin II receptors causing vasodilation and reduction in BP.
🗑
|
||||
| Aldosterone Receptor Antagonist | Blocks binding of aldosterone at receptor site to reduce sodium reabsorption and then BP.
🗑
|
||||
| Calcium Channel Blockers | Prevent movement of extracellular calcium into the cell which vasodilates.
🗑
|
||||
| Direct Vasodilators | Relax smooth muscles of blood vessels, causing vaodilation and decreased BP.
