Anti-Hypertensives | drugs used to lower blood pressure through various mechanisms of action. |
Beta Blockers | Lower blood pressure by lowering cardiac output. |
examples of beta blockers | Tenormin(atenolol), Inderal(propranolol), Betopic(Betaxolol) |
Alpha Blockers | Lower blood pressure by lowering cardiac output. |
Examples of Alpha Blockers | Cardura(Doxazosin), Hytrin(terazosin), Prazosin(minipress) |
Diuretics | Decrease blood pressure by decreasing blood volume |
Thiazides | Increase the excretion of Sodium and Chloride |
Examples of Thiazides | Diuril(Chlorothiazide), HCTZ(hydrochlorothiazide) |
Loop | Generate a larger elimination response than that of the thiazides. |
Examples of Loop | Lasix(furosemide), Edecrin(ethacrynic acid) |
