Pharmacology Flashcards
(21 cards)
Sympatholytics
Beta blockers “olol”
Reduce HR, BP, sympathetic tone
Don’t use with kidney dysfunction or asthma. Diabetics get pale and sweaty
Alpha 1 blockers
zosin
Alpha 2 agonists
reduces vascular tone
Ace inhibitors
“pril”
blocks ang 1 to 2
lowers BP
ARBS
“sartan”
similar to ACE but taken if patient has bad side effects from ACE
Calcium channel blockers
“dipine”
HTN, angina, reduce cardiac contractile force
Hydralazine
treat HTN by dilation
reduce BP
Rhabdomyolysis is associated with which drug?
statins
Unfractionated heparin
for weaker kidneys
blood thinner
Low-molecular weight heparin
stronger kidneys
blood thinner
Coumadin (warfarin)
long term blood thinner
Anti-platelet meds
aspirin and clopidogrel
Anti-arrhymthmic
class 1: NA channel blockers- lidocane, flecanide Class 2: Beta blockers- propanolol class 3: K channel blockers- sotalol, amiodarone class 4: CA2 blockers- verapamil, diltiazem
Acute coronary syndrome meds
anti anginals aspirin morphine beta blockers heparin ACE Statin
Heart failure meds
Diuretic- decrease preload
ACE- decrease afterload
Beta blocker- control sympathetic stim.
Decompensated heart failure
positive inotropes- dopamine, PDE, dobutamine
Afterload reducers- hydralazine, long acting nitrates, isosorbide dinitrate
Maintain MAP- Norepi or epi
Which of the following would monitoring exercise intensity by HR be least effective?
metoprolol (beta blocker)
Statin
lowers cholesterol
Opril
ACE inhibitor to decrease BP
Olol
beta blocker
sartan
HTN
