Anti-hypertensives and Hypertension Quiz

Losartan is an example of a calcium channel blocker.

Mannitol acts on the distal tubule to increase water excretion.

Loop diuretics like Furosemide enhance the reabsorption of sodium and water.

Thiazide diuretics such as Hydrochlorothiazide act on the early distal tubule.

Spironolactone is an example of an osmotic diuretic.

Methyldopa is contraindicated for use during pregnancy.

The active metabolite produced after decarboxylation of Methyldopa is 'α-Methyl NE'.

ARBs prevent Angiotensin II from binding to angiotensin receptor 2 (AT2).

Potassium-Sparing Diuretics increase potassium excretion and decrease sodium excretion.

Centrally acting Sympatholytics like Methyldopa can cause diarrhea as a side effect.

Thiazide Diuretics act on the early distal tubule preventing reabsorption of sodium and chloride.

Potassium-Sparing Diuretics like Spironolactone increase potassium excretion and decrease sodium excretion.

ARBs selectively bind to angiotensin receptor 2 (AT2) to prevent Angiotensin II effects.

Loop Diuretics such as Furosemide enhance the reabsorption of sodium and water.

Methyldopa is contraindicated for use during pregnancy.

Osmotic Diuretics like Mannitol act on the proximal tubule to increase water excretion.

Losartan is an example of a calcium channel blocker.

The active metabolite produced after decarboxylation of Methyldopa is 'α-Methyl NE'.

Centrally acting Sympatholytics like Methyldopa can cause diarrhea as a side effect.

Spironolactone blocks aldosterone receptors in the late distal convoluted tubule to decrease the synthesis of sodium channels and potassium pumps.
