21
Q

Side effects of potassium sparing diuretics

Study These Flashcards
A

Hyperkalemia
impotence, gynecomastia, and decreased libido in 50% of males and menstrual abnormalities in females
cause GI upset

22
Q

How much potassium is needed to prevent hypokalemia?

23
Q

How much potassium is needed to restore normal potassium levels?

24
Q

What effects do ACE and ARBs have on potassium?

Study These Flashcards
A

increase serum potassium levels

25
Methyldopa
lower arterial pressure by the stimulation of central inhibitory α2-adrenergic receptors drug of choice in treating hypertension in pregnant wome
26
Clonidine
lower arterial pressure by the stimulation of central inhibitory α2-adrenergic receptors
27
Labetalol
nonselective beta-blockers that also block alpha-receptors does not affect serum lipids indicated for the treatment of hypertension and CHF
28
Carvedilol
nonselective beta-blockers that also block alpha-receptors
29
What happens if Methyldopa or Clonidine is discontinued abruptly?
is rebound hypertension that may occur if the drug is suddenly discontinued
30
propranolol
nonselective
31
metoprolol
cardioselective
32
Labetalol
nonselective beta-blockers that also block alpha-receptors
33
carvedilol
nonselective beta-blockers that also block alpha-receptors
34
What is the "first does effect" in alpha 1 blockers?
marked hypotension and syncope with first few doses or with rapid increase in dose give at bedtime to reduce effect
35
What are side effects of beta blockers?
Nonselective agents may cause bronchoconstriction. Other adverse effects include slow heart rate, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and male sexual dysfunction Decreased cardiac output may lead to reduction in exercise tolerance. Contraindicated in sinus bradycardia.
36
Prazosin
Alpha1 Adrenergic Blocker | Treatment of hypertension
37
Terazosin
Alpha1 Adrenergic Blocker | Treatment of hypertension and symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia
38
Doxazosin
Alpha1 Adrenergic Blocker | Treatment of hypertension and symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia
39
What is 5-alpha-reductase is an enzyme?
5-alpha-reductase is an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in the prostate gland. DHT increases growth of prostate epithelial tissue.
40
Do alpha 1 antagonists shrink the prostate?
no
41
Phentolamine [Regitine]
blocks both presynaptic (α2) and postsynaptic (α1) adrenergic receptors Prevention or control of hypertensive episodes that occur in patients with pheochromocytoma (given IV by controlled infusion) and for prevention and treatment of dermal necrosis and sloughing following extravasation of intravenous norepinephrine or dopamine
42
Do 5-alpha-reductatase inhibitors shrink the prostate?
yes
43
Finasteride
is a specific inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy and male pattern hair loss Pregnancy Category X (tablets should not be handled by a woman who is pregnant or may become pregnant and men should not donate blood for 6 months after stopping the drug to avoid transmission to a pregnant woman.)
44
What is 5-alpha-reductase is an enzyme?
5-alpha-reductase is an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in the prostate gland. DHT increases growth of prostate epithelial tissue.
45
Dutasteride [Avodart]
2nd generation 5α-reductase (both type 1 and type 2) inhibitor for treatment of BPH extensively metabolized by CYP3A4 but has a terminal half-life of 5 weeks
46
Phentolamine [Regitine]
blocks both presynaptic (α2) and postsynaptic (α1) adrenergic receptors Prevention or control of hypertensive episodes that occur in patients with pheochromocytoma (given IV by controlled infusion) and for prevention and treatment of dermal necrosis and sloughing following extravasation of intravenous norepinephrine or dopamine
47
Hydralazine [Apresoline]
Vasodilator mechanism is not clear homeostatic mechanism including an increase in renin secretion, increased cardiac rate and output, and salt and water retention
48
What are Hydralazine [Apresoline] indications?
Indications: Hydralazine is indicated for the treatment of primary hypertension (usually considered a 3rd step drug because of reflex tachycardia & salt & water retention.) indicated to produce afterload reduction in patients with CHF
