4 major side effects for loop diruetics | potassium wasting, metabolic alkalosis, ototoxicity, hypotension |
clonidine side effects (2) | dry mouth, severe rebound hypertension |
methyldopa side effects (2) | sedation, positive Coombs test |
hexamethonium side effects (4) | severe orthostatic hypotension, blurred vision, constipation, sexual dysfunction |
reserpine side effects (4) | sedation, depression, nasal stuffiness, diarrhea |
guanethidine side effects (4) | orthostatic/exercise hypotension, sexual dysfunction, diarrhea |
prazosin side effects (3) | 1st-dose orthostatic hypotensoin, dizziness, headache |
beta-blocker major side effects (6) | asthma, impotence, sleep problems, bradycardia, CHF, AV block |
hydralazine side effects (4) | lupus like syndrome, reflex tachycardia, angina, salt retention |
minoxidil side effets (5) | hair, pericardial effusion, reflex tachycardia, angina, salt retention |
vasodilator: calcium blocker side effects (3) | flushing, constipation, nausea |
nitroprusside major side efect | cyanide toxicity |
captopril side effects (8) | hyperkalemia, cough, angioedema, proteinuria, taste changes, hypotension, pregnancy problems (fetal renal damage), rash |
ARB side effect (losartan) | fetal renal toxicity, hyperkalemia |
two drugs that cause hyperkalemia | losartan and captopril |
what do you have to do with hydralazine and minoxidil? | use beta blockers to treat reflex tachy, diuretic to block salt retention |
mechanism of hydralazine | increase cGMP, smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation, afterload reduction |
hydralazine selectively dilates which vessels? | arterioles |
clinical use for hydralazine (2) | severe hypertension, CHF, first-line therapy for HTN in pregnancy |
mechanism for clonidine | alpha2 agonist |
mechanism for methyldopa | alpha2 agonist |
mechanism for prazosin | alpha1 blocker |
mechanism for reserpine | blocks re-uptake of NE, E and Serotonin back into pre-synaptic vesicles --> allows degradation by MAO |
mechanism for guanethidine | blocks the release of catecholamines from the presynaptic terminal by inhibiting Mg/ATPase dependent pump |
what is the mechanism of hexamethonium? | it is a neronal ACh receptor antagonist in autonomic ganglia |
name 3 calcium channel blockers | nifedipine, verapamil, diltiazem |
mechanism of calcium blockers | block voltage-dependent calcium channels on cardiac/smooth muscle and reduce muscle contractility |
rank vascular smooth muscle block by calcium blocker | nifedipine>diltiazem>verapamil |
rank heart smooth muscle block by calcium blocker | verapamil>diltiazem>nifedipine |
use for calcium blockers | hypertension, angina, arrhythmia (not nifedipine) |
calcium blocker toxicity (3) | cardiac depression, peripheral edema, flushing, |
mechanism for nitro drugs | vasodilate by releasing nitric oxide, increase cGMP, smooth muscle relaxation, decrease preload |
rank the preference for dilation of vascular beds in nitro drugs | veins >> arterioles |
clinical use for nitro drugs (4) | angina, pulmonary edema, aphrodisiac, erection enhancer |
name side effects for nitro (4) | tachycardia, hypotension, headache, monday disease |
define monday disease | build tolerance to nitro during occupational exposure, resensitize on weekend and get tachy and dizzy when returning to work Monday |
