Which is not a diuretic class?

The most common diuretic, and it inhibits sodium reabsorption back into the blood, resulting in increased urination.

This diuretic has a rapid onset, and is stronger (more loss of fluids) than thiazides.

1. Angiotensin II (a protein that causes vasoconstriction) is made by “Angiotensin Converting Enzyme” (ACE) in lungs.

2. ACE Inhibitors block this process so Angiotensin isn’t produced, resulting in vasoconstriction and decreased resistance to blood flow.

The following are all examples of:

1. Captopril (Capoten)

2. Enalapril (Vasotec)

3. Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)

4. Quinapril (Accupril)

5. Ramipril (Altace)

The following drugs are examples of:

1. Losartan (Cozaar)

2. Irbesartan (Avapro)

3. Candesartan (Atacand)

4. Valsartan (Diovan) FDA RECALL

The following drugs are examples of:

Atenolol (Tenormin)

Metoprolol (Lospressor, Toprol-XL)

Nadolol (Corgard)

Propranolol (Inderal)

The following drugs are examples of:

Prazosin (Minipress)

Terazosin (Hytrin)

Doxazosin (Cardura)

Select the selective beta blockers.

Select the non-selective beta blockers.

The following drugs are examples of:

Diltiazem (Cardizem)

Verapamil (Calan, Isoptin)

Amlodipine (Norvasc, Lotrel)

Nifedipine (Procardia)

Which class of drugs may exhibit an adverse reaction of gingival hyperplasia?

The following drugs are examples of:

Nitroglycerine (Nitrostat)

Isosorbide dinitrate (Isordil)

These class of drugs increases calcium ion concentration, which enhances heart contractility.

An adverse reaction of these drugs may cause gagging.

The following drugs are examples of:

Digitalis aka Digoxin (Lanoxin, Lavoxin)

These class of drugs work by blocking the sodium channels effecting nerve impulses.

The following drugs are examples of:

Quinidine (Quinidex)

Disopyrmaide (Norpace)

Procainamide (Pronestly)

These class of drugs work by blocking a liver enzyme responsible for the production of cholesterol.

The following drugs are examples of:

Lovastatin (Mevacor)

Simvastatin (Zocor)

Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Pravastatin (Pravachol)

Rosuvastatin (Crestor)

These class of drugs interfere with clotting via interfering with production of thromboxane leading to less platelets being produced.

The following drugs are examples of:

Aspirin

Clopidogrel (Plavix)

These class of drugs interfere with clotting via Vitamin K clotting factors.

The following drugs are examples of:

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Pradaxa (Dabigatran Etexilate)

Xarelto (Rivaroxaban)

Eliquis (Apixaban)

Heparin

The use of vasoconstrictors in local anesthetics in stable angina patients is acceptable, but use cardiac dose.

This is the preferred drug for patients with diabetes and hypertension.

1. If a patient on a nonselective beta-blocker receives a systemic dose of epinephrine, the beta-blocker blocks the vasodilation, leaving unopposed alpha vasoconstriction.

2. This can result in a “hypertensive reaction” with systolic number >200

Patients that have had “stents” placed in vessels (to keep open) will be on:
