Term
Alpha Adrenergic Receptor Antagonist Drugs
Definition

1. Prazosin

2. Terazosin

 3. Doxazosin

Term

MOA Alpha Adren. Antagonists

Definition

Inhibit Symp. stimulation on art. contraction

(mild effect on veins)

Term

Why are they "selective" A-1 blockers?

Definition
do not potentiate release of NE from symp n.
Term

selective A-1 antagonists prevent vasoconstriction where?

Definition
arterial and venous beds
Term
venous dilation can lead to?
Definition
postural hypotention
Term
in severe HTN A-1 blockers should be combined w/ what 2 drugs?
Definition

1. Thiazide

2. BB

Term

Do A-1 blockers alter uric acid levels?

Definition
NO = Good in Gout pts
Term
Do A-1 blockers affect glucose levels?
Definition
NO! = good in DM
Term
Do A-1 blockers cause an ↑ or ↓ in lipids?
Definition
DECREASE!
Term

Is Prozasin highly protein bound?

Definition
YES!
Term
Most imp. pharm effect of prozasin
Definition

-ability to antagonize sm. mm. contraction caused by: 1) symp activity

2) action of adrenomimetics

Term

How does Prazosin compare to vasodilators?

Definition
less prominent incr. in HR, Contractile force, and Renin activity
Term
AE Prazosin
Definition

Postural hypotn

= Dizziness/light-headed

 

***esp initial tx and when dose incr.

Term
Centrally acting sympatholytics
Definition

1. clonidine

2. alpha methyldopa

3. guanabenz

4. guanfacine

Term
How do centrally acting sympatholytics work?
Definition
reduce symp output from vasopressor center in brainstem -> CV system
Term
MOA of Clonidine
Definition
 Decr CO D/t decr. HR
Term

Clonidine Elim.

Definition

50% unchanged in urin

Term
Does Clonidine cross the BBB?
Definition
YES = lipid soluble
Term
SE clonidine
Definition

sedation, dry mouth, bradycard, impotence

 

*** decr w/ TD patch but causes contact derm

Term
who should not be given clonidine?
Definition
pts w/ hx of depression
Term
Does clonidine effect lipids?
Definition
NO
Term

Why is Clonidine useful for pts w/

complicated renal dz?

Definition

does not reduce renal blood flow or GFR

 

**does reduce renin activity!! (decr symp on juxt. cells)

Term

Clinical uses Clonidine

Definition

mild/mod HTN

tourettes

hot flashes

etoh withdrawal

smoking cessation

Term

MOA alpha methyldopa

Definition
alphamethyldopa -> alpamethylNE = decr symp outflow
Term
alpha methyldopa uses
Definition

mild-mod HTN

 

Prego women!!

Term

Uses of methyldopa

Definition

tx of HTN in renal dz (NOT END STAGE)

 

does not reduce renal blood flow or GFR

Term
SE methyldopa
Definition

Sedation (CNS)

drymouth, nasal cong. impotence

orthostatic HTN

 

Term

SEVERE SE of methyldopa

Definition

Autoimmune RXN -> COOMBS

 

Hyperprolactinemia

Term
Guanethidine MOA
Definition
prevents NE release
Term
Guanethidine uses
Definition

severe HTN

**most potent antiHTN = LOTS OF SE

Term
Guanethidine contraindications
Definition

not in pheochromocytoma

NO MOAI's

 

can worsen CHF

Term
Neuronal Blocking agents
Definition

1. Guanethidine

2. Reserpine

3. Ganglionic blockers

Term
uses of ganglionic blockers
Definition

ONLY malignant HTN

 

=non-selective blocking

Term
Reserpine uses
Definition
mild-mod HTN
Term
Reserpine should be used w/?
Definition
diuretic -> expand vasc volume
Term
Reserpine contraindicated in
Definition
PUD
Term
AE Reserpine
Definition

CNS- sedation, depression, nightmares, suicide

 

nasal cong. postural hypotn. diarrhea ect

Term
ACE-I's
Definition

1. Enalapril

2. Lisinopril

3. Captopril

4. Fosinopril

Term

Do kidneys provide LT or ST control of BP??

 

how?

Definition
LT by altering blood volume -> stimulate renin release = Na and H2O retn.
Term
MOA ACE-I
Definition

inhibit conversion of AT I -> AT II

 

inhibit bradykinin degredation

Term
Effect of ACE-I
Definition

Vasodilation d/t decr AT II

 

Vasodilation 2nd incr bradykinin

 

Decr. Na and H20 retn 2nd decr aldosterone

Term
ACE-I most effective in
Definition
young, wt w/ HTN alone
Term

ACE I similar effect on wt. and AA

when combined w/

Definition
diuretic
Term

ACE-I offer protection in

Definition

DM:  slow nephropathy and decr albuminuria

 

CHF: stop vent. remodeling by decr AT II

 

MI/stroke

Term

Uses ACE-I

 

Definition

HTN

DM

Chronic HF

Post MI
