Study Notes

ACE Inhibitors

  • Used to treat hypertension
  • Mode of action: Inhibits the binding of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II
  • Characterized by the suffix -pril
  • Cautions: geriatric patients, renal impairment, potassium-increasing drugs, lactation, NSAIDs, and diuretics

Sartans

  • Used to treat hypertension
  • Mode of action: Selectively inhibits Angiotensin II
  • Characterized by the suffix -sartan
  • Cautions: geriatric patients, renal impairment, potassium-increasing drugs, lactation, NSAIDs, and diuretics
  • It is safe to add a second drug if the first one is not effective

Calcium Channel Blockers

  • Used to treat hypertension
  • Mode of action: Blocks the flow of calcium in the bloodstream
  • Examples: -ipine, verpamil, and diliazem
  • Cautions: lactation, hepatic impairment, geriatric patients, and avoidance with beta blockers and systolic heart failure
  • Note: Calcium helps vessels to contract, so reducing calcium helps to stop vasodilation for people with hypertension

Thiazide Diuretics

  • Used to treat hypertension and oedema
  • Mode of action: Decreases sodium levels for moderate hypertension and oedema
  • Characterized by the suffix -thiazide
  • Cautions: lactation, geriatric patients, NSAIDs, diuretics, renal impairment, and potassium-increasing drugs
