Understand the Problem
The questions are asking for information related to pharmacology, specifically about the use of drugs, their effects, types of antihypertensive medications, and the consequences of drug withdrawal. They require knowledge about the classifications and pharmacological effects of various drugs used in treating diseases and conditions.
Answer
Therapeutics; All the above; Beta blockers; Xerostomia; Enalapril
The use of drugs to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease or to prevent pregnancy is termed as Therapeutics. Abrupt withdrawal of a beta blocker may induce All the above (Angina, Myocardial infarction, Sudden death). Beta blockers are good for a patient with concomitant angina pectoris. Xerostomia is not an adverse effect of alpha blockers. Enalapril is not an angiotensin II receptor blocker.
Answer for screen readers
The use of drugs to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease or to prevent pregnancy is termed as Therapeutics. Abrupt withdrawal of a beta blocker may induce All the above (Angina, Myocardial infarction, Sudden death). Beta blockers are good for a patient with concomitant angina pectoris. Xerostomia is not an adverse effect of alpha blockers. Enalapril is not an angiotensin II receptor blocker.
More Information
Therapeutics is the broad field encompassing all drug use for treatment and prevention. Beta blockers are commonly used to manage cardiovascular conditions but need careful management to avoid complications upon abrupt cessation.
Tips
Do not confuse beta blockers with other types of blood pressure medication, and ensure proper understanding of adverse effects unique to each class of drugs.
