cpt stuff Flashcards
first line antihypertensive if have type 2 diabetes
ACEi
why do loop and thiazides cause hypokalaemia
block Na+ reabsorption and therefore more Na+ in tubule. more reabsorbed by ENaC, more K+ excreted by ROMK
which antihypertensve pregnancy
labetelol
which antihypertensive causes damage while breastfeeding
nifedipine
aminoglycosides and loop
ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity
digoxin and thiazide/loop
hypokalaemia
b blockers and thazide

carbemazapine and thiazide
hyponatraemia
ADR thiazide
gout, hyperglycaemia, ED, increased LDL, hypercalcaemia
ADR frusemide
ototoxocity, alkalosis, increaed LDL, gout

DI statins
CYP 3A4 important – amiodarone, diltiazem, macrolides - increases [plasma] statin Remember amlodipine (CCB) also increases [plasma] statin
nocte
at night
why take statins nocte
most cholesterol made at night
aim of statin treatment
> 40% reduction in non HDL-C at three months
when is ezetimibe combined with statin
in CKD and secondary CVS prevention, those who can only tolerate low dose statin
when is fibrates and statin used
famiilial hypercholesterolaemia
aim of secondary prevention LDL levels
1.8mmol/L LDL-C (<2.5mmol/L non HDL-C)
