___ makes a good 2nd agent due to synergy.
HCTZ
ACEi
block AII --> vasodilation

cough (10%), hyperkalemia, reversible renal failure (initial 35% rise Cr is OK)
beta blockers
lower cardiac output, lower renin activity

bradycardia (target 55-70), heart failure, bronchospasm, masking hypoglycemia
Ca blockers
smooth muscle relax --> vasodilation

edema, HA, dizzy
diuretics
1st: lower blood volume and CO
later: lower resistance, nL CO

hypokalemia, hyperuricemia
alpha blockers
vasodilation

syncope, orthostatic hypotension
minoxidil
vasodilation!!

fluid retention!!, reflex tachy
