Term
Hydrochlorothiazole increases ______ toxicity
Definition
digoxin
Term
Spironolactone is a ________ antagonist
Definition
Aldosterone
Term
When is spironolactone used in combination w/ Furosemide?
Definition
Spironolcatone causes hyperkalemia while Furosemides causes hypokalemia, they balance each other
Term

Definition

1.  Captopril

2.  Enalopril

3.  Losartan 

Term
Give the MOA for Captopril and Enalopril
Definition

1.  Inhibits ACE

2.  Decreases Peripheral resistance (decrease AL)

3.  Reduce sodium and water retention

 

Term
The adverse effects of this ACE Inhibitors ________ is coughing
Definition
Captopril or Enalopril
Term
What's the difference between Captopril/Enalopril and Losartan
Definition
Losartan blocks the Angiotension receptor not ACE so it doesn't affect Bradykinin and cause coughing
Term
