Diuretics 

Decrease plasma and stroke volumes which decreases cardiac output and lowers BP.

100
What are the side effects of methyldopa

can cause hepatic toxicity and hemolytic anemia 

100

FOR FUN :) 

What drug is used in patients that are pregnant with HTN

Methyldopa 

100

What does thiazides interact with?

Lithium 

100

Who are the Direct Vasodilators 

Hydralazine and Minoxidil 

200

Thiazides

inhibit NA+ and Cl- reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule by inhibition of the Na-Cl cotransport. This increases the excretion of Na and Cl and causes relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. 

200

Side effects of thiazides 

Hypokalemia, Hypercalemia, hypomagnesium, hyperglycemia, hyperurecemia, sexual dysfunction, dyslip

200
What are the thiazdies drugs 

Clorthaladone 12.5-25

Hydroclorithiazide 12.5-50

Indabapide

Mometazone 2.5-5 HTN and 5-20 in CHF and renal 

200

What are the drug reactions of ACE's 

1. NSAIDS- can cause acute kidney injury and reduce antihypertensive response 

2. K-sparing diuretics may exacerbate ACE 

200

What do direct vasodilators do aka MOA

directly relax arteriolar smooth muscle resulting in vasodilation and BP lowering 

300

Loop

Prevent Na reabsorption in the thick ascending loop of henle, through inhibition of Na-K-2Cl cotransport. 

300

Side effects of loop

HypOkalcemia, HypOcalemia, hypomagneisum, hyperglycemia, dyslip, hyperuricemia and OTOTOXCITY 

300

Drugs in Loop class

Forosemide 10-40

Toresmide 5-10

Ethycrynic acid   25-100

Butemide     .5-10

300

What are the drug reactions of ARBS

DO NOT USE WITH ACE  

300

What are the side effects of direct vasodilators

H: lupus like syndrome 

M: hypertrichosis 

400

K-sparing 

blocks Na channels in the late distal tubule and collecting ducts which inhibit Na reabsorption from the lumen. It decreases the function of the Na/K ATPase pump which results in K retention. 

400
What are the side effects of Spironlactone and Eplernone?

S: ED, gynecomastia, BPH 

E: NONE

400
K-sparing drugs

Spironlactone

Epleronone

400

What are the drug reactions of CCB's? 

DO not use with BB, digoxin, clonidine and amiodarone because it will decrease HR. 

Do not use with other CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers

400

Who causes rebound HTN

beta blockers 

500
ACE-I

block the conversion of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2. Decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and aldosterone. 

500

What are the side effects for benzapril, enalapril, etc?

Acute kidney injury, hypotension, angioedema, dry cough, hyperkalemia 

500

What are the ACES

Benzapril 20-40

Enalapril 10-40

Lisinopril 10-40

Ramipril 2.5-20

Captopril 25-50

500

FOR FUN: WHAT DRUG HAS A TENDENCY TO CAUSE orthostatic hypotension, sedation, dry mouth and vision distrubances 

Central alpha 2 agonists aka: clonidine, guanabenz, guanfacine and methyldopa 

500

What is the first line in African Americans 

Thiazide and CCB
