diuretics
hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, spironolactone
diuretics type
thiazide, loop and potassium sparing
thiazide
hydrochlorothiazide
loop
furosemide
potassium sparing
spironolactone
MOA of hydrochlorothiazide
inhibits nacl transport in distal convoluted tubule preventing sodium reabsorption
MOA of furosemide
inhibits na k cl exchanger in the thick ascending limb of the loop of henle
MOA of spironolactone
inhibits aldosterone receptor and thus aldosterone mediated increase in na pump uptake of sodium from lumin into blood
therapeutic use of hydrochlorothiazide
alone for mild to moderate hypertension (can lower bp 10-15) or severe hypertension when used in combination with sympathoplegic or vasodilatory agents
therapeutic use of furosemide
severe hypertension in combination or hypertensive emergency with acute left ventricular failure
therapeutic use of spironolactone
similar to thiazide but no potassium wasting, better when pt is on digoxin
CNS acting hypertension drugs
methyldopa, clondine, guanabenz and guanfacine
moa methyldopa
converted to active produts in nerves producing a2 receptor antagonist
moa clondine, guanabenz and guanfacine
a2 receptor antagonist
clinical use of cns acting hypertension drugs
mild to moderately severe hypertension
SE methyldopa
positive coombs test, sedation, depression
SE clondine
similar to methyldopa plus dry mouth
SE guanabenz and guanfacine
similar to the rest
ganglionic blockers
mecamylamine
MOA mecamylamine
block nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia thus preventing transmission
USE of mecamylamine
hypertensive crisis, acute aortic dissection and to induce controlled hypotension for neurosurgery
adregenic nerve blockers
guanethidine, guanadrel, reserpine
moa guanethidine, guanadrel
blocks release of norepi, replaces NE in synaptic vessicles acting as a false transmitter
MOA reserpine
irreversib le block of amine uptake into synaptic vessicles resulting in depletion of NT
use of adrenergic blockers
lower blood pressure via inhibition of NE from sympathetic nerves
tox guanethide and guanadrel
postural hypotension, retrograde ejaculation
tox of reserpine
CNS effects, GI, not to be given to pt with hx of peptic ulder
b1 and 2
propanolol
b1 specific
metaprolol, esmolol
partial agonist
Pin, pen ace
racemic mixture
carve the labia
use of propanolol
mild to moderate hypertension and in combo with vasodilatiors to prevent reflex tachy
use of metoprolol
similar to propanolol but with less lung effects
use of esmolol
IV hypertensive emergency with MI or unstable angina
use of pin pen ace
similar to propanolol but may be better in pts with depressed cardiac fx or lung disease
use of carve the labia
hypertension due to pheochromocytomas and hypertensive emergencies (IV labetolol)
non selective a1 and a2 blocker and its use
phentolamine and hypertensive emergencies with adrenergic crisises
a1 receptor blockers and their use
zosins and mild to moderate hypertension
ace inhibitors
prils
MOA ace inhibitors
inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme thus preventing angiotensin I from conversion ot angiotension II and also inhibits breakdown of bradykinin
use of ace inhibitors
hypertension with elevated renin levels or when CHF and diabetic neuropathy. (IV enapril for malignant hypertension)
tox of ace inhibitors
initial dose induced severe hypotension when hypovolemic. Renal failure. Hyperkalemia, not for preggos. NSAIDS may impair
angiotensin II receptor blockers
sartans
arteriolar dilators
hyalazine, minoxidil
use of hydralazine
severe hypertension, preclampsia/eclampsia of pregnancy
use of minoxidil
severe hypertension and must be used with bb to prevent reflex tachy and loop diuretics to prevent sodium and water retention
both venule and arteriolar dilators
fenodopam, cc blockers, sodium nitroprusside, diazoxide
MOA and use of diazoxide
increase K conductance preventing SM contraction, for parenteral treatment of hypertensive emergencies
MOA and use of fenodopam
D1 agonist and hypertensive emergencies
MOA and use of sodium nitroprusside
NO release and activation of guanylyl cyclase and parenteral treatment of hypertensive emergencies
use of calcium channel blockers
hypertensive emergencies (IV nicardipine)
