lower BP by reducing re absorption of sodium and water by kidneys lowering fluid volume. | diuretics eg furosemide (lasix) spironolactone (aldactone) Metaolazone, polythiazide. |
anti hypertensive med that Lowers blood pressure by reducing resorption of sodium and water by the kidneys, thus lowering circulating fluid volume? | Diuretics: Furosemide (Lasix), spironolactone (Aldactone), metolazone, polythiazide, benzthiazide |
anti hypertensive med that Combines with beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, arteries, and arterioles to block response to sympathetic nerve impulses; reduces heart rate and thus cardiac output? | Beta-adrenergic blockers: Atenolol (Tenormin), nadolol (Corgard), timolol maleate (Blocadren), propranolol (Inderal) |
anti hypertensive med that Acts on arteriolar smooth muscle to cause relaxation and reduce peripheral vascular resistance? | Vasodilators: Hydralazine hydrochloride (Apresoline), minoxidil (Loniten) |
anti hypertensive med that Reduces peripheral vascular resistance by systemic vasodilation? | Calcium channel blockers: Diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor XR), verapamil hydrochloride (Calan SR), nifedipine (Procardia), nicardipine (Cardene). |
anti hypertensive med that Lowers blood pressure by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, preventing vasoconstriction; reduces aldosterone production and fluid retention, lowering circulating fluid volume? | Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors: Captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), benazepril (Lotensin) |
anti hypertensive med that Lowers blood pressure by blocking the binding of angiotensin II, which prevents vasoconstriction? | Angiotensin-II receptor blockers (ARBs): Losartan (Cozaar), olmesartan (Benicar) |
