    Study Notes

    • Diuretics are used to manage hypertension by removing sodium and water from the body, with different types including loops, thiazides, and potassium-sparing diuretics.
    • Antiadrenergics/sympatholytics block the secretory action in the sympathetic nervous system, with examples including alpha 2 agonists, alpha 1 blockers, beta blockers, and alpha-beta blockers.
    • Central acting antiadrenergics like alpha 2 agonists include drugs such as Methyldopa, Clonidine, Guanfacine, and Guanabenz.
    • Peripheral acting antiadrenergics like alpha 1 blockers include drugs such as Prazosin, Terazosin, and Doxazosin, used for conditions like hypertension and Raynaud’s disease.
    • Beta adrenergic blockers are used for hypertension, angina, arrhythmias, migraines, hyperthyroidism, panic attacks, and post-myocardial infarction.
    • Calcium channel blockers are indicated for hypertension, angina, arrhythmias, and Raynaud’s disease.
    • Peripheral vasodilators act on the smooth muscle layer of blood vessels, used for severe hypertension and emergencies, with drugs like Diazoxide, Minoxidil, and Nitroprusside being common choices.
