🗑
show Vasodilators/Erectile dysfunction generic drugs end with –AFIL  
🗑
show Cialis is an erectile dysfunction drug that has also been approved for tx of pullm arterial HTN  
🗑
show HA, flushing, nasal congestion, abnormal vision (blue-green vision); WARNING: LOSS OF VISION  
🗑
What’s a contraindication for vasodilators/erectile dysfunction drugs?   show
🗑
What are the 2 groups of CCBs and what are their prototypes?   show
🗑
show Verapamil is a non-dihydropyridine Ca+ channel blocker; it has the greatest affect on heart and the least affect on bld vessels  
🗑
Diltiazem* is what type of drug? It has the greatest affect on what? And the least affect on what?   show
🗑
What is Nifedipine (Procardia)?   show
🗑
How does verapamil work?   show
🗑
How does diltiazem* work?   show
🗑
show verapamil has the greatest affect on the heart  
🗑
Which CCB has the greatest effect on the blood vessels?   show
🗑
show leakage of Ca+ causes action potential, and when it reaches Na+ potential, there’s a spike causing action potential to go down the neuron. Blocking Ca+ channels slows the heart bc of the blocked Ca+ leakage  
🗑
How do Ca+ channel blockers work?   show
🗑
How does Calcium work in contraction?   show
🗑
show CCBs slow the SA node, blocking AV conduction; this more so decreases contractility (how strong it beats) more so than how fast it beats; smooth muscle is relaxed by CCBs, this lowers BP bc of vasodilation  
🗑
show indications for CCBs are supraventricular tachyarrythmias, Verapamil can be given IV or PO; all CCBs are useful for coronary artery vasospasm and angina; amlodipine (Norvasc) is drug most commonly used to treat primary HTN & vasospastic angina  
🗑
Which CCB would a pt prefer between nifedipine (Procardia) vs amlodipine (Norvasc)? Why?   show
🗑
What are drug interactions with Verapamil?   show
🗑
Can verapamil be added to anti-arrythmics?   show
🗑
Verapamil and diltiazem of the CCB group are specifically in the what group? What types of enzymes are they?   show
🗑
show grapefruit is an enzyme inhibitor; grapefruit interferes /c cytochrome 3A4, this would cause drugs that ordinarily have a low bioavailability will now have increased concentrations  
🗑
Why is amlodipine (Norvasc) such a popular drug?   show
🗑
What are SE/ADR of CCBs?   show
🗑
Why can you get reflex tachycardia with nifedipine?   show
🗑
Which CCB has the least negative side effects?   show
🗑
How does the juxtaglomerular apparatus work in the kidneys?? When the juxtaglomerular apparatus senses a decr in the amount of bld and Na+ going through it, it will release RENIN;   show
🗑
How does angiotensin converting enzyme convert angiotensinogen to angiotensin?   show
🗑
How does Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors work?   show
🗑
What is the ACEI prototype?   show
🗑
What do ACEI generic drugs end in?   show
🗑
show ACEIs inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme; it decreases the availability of angiotensin II, resulting in VASODILATION & DECR ALDOSTERONE RELEASE  
🗑
What does angiotensin do to blood vessels?   show
🗑
What is bradykinin?   show
🗑
What is the relationship between ACEIs and bradykinin?   show
🗑
What are the actions of ACEIs?   show
🗑
What’s the indications for ACEIs?   show
🗑
show 1 ACEI drug and why?  
🗑
What’s a negative and annoying side effect of ACEIs that often causes a change in what med?   show
🗑
show skin rash and dysgeusia (bad taste) (more common w/ Captopril), cough; 1st dose hypotension (start lowest dose at night in bed and titrate up); this is only a prob for hypovolemic pts  
🗑
What are contraindications/cautions of ACEIs?   show
🗑
What are ACEIs interactions?   show
🗑
When would you put a pt on an angiotensin receptor blocker?   show
🗑
show the ARB prototype is LOSARTAN* (Cozaar)  
🗑
show generic ARBs end with –SARTAN  
🗑
show The SARTAN sisters Are Real B’s [ARBs]  
🗑
show VALSARTAN is the most commonly prescribed angiotensin receptor blocker  
🗑
show angiotensin receptor blockers selectively block angiotensin I receptor sites in the adrenal medulla & prevent the release of aldosterone.  
🗑
show ARBs are indicated #1 for HTN and heart failure, & also to tyr and prevent diabetic nephropathy  
🗑
What are contraindications/warnings about angiotensin receptor blockers?   show
🗑
