ANTI HYPERTENSIVES

Classify the anti hypertensives drugs?
Enumerate the therapeutic uses and adverse effects of calcium channel blockers?
Discuss therapeutic uses and adverse effects of methyldopa and clonidine?
Describe the mechanism of action of ACE inhibitors, its therapeutic uses and adverse effects. How it will help to decrease BP.

Discuss the mechanism of action of ARBs; briefly enumerate the therapeutic uses and adverse effects of valsartan?

A sustained systolic BP of greater then 140 mm hg.
OR
A sustained diastolic BP of greater then 90 mm hg.

In the management of hypertension, CCBs may be used as an initial therapy.
Useful in the treatment of hypertensive patients who also have asthma, diabetes or peripheral vascular disease.
All CCBs are useful in the treatment of angina
In addition, diltiazem and verapamil are used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation.

 Flushing
Dizziness
Headache
Hypotension
Peripheral edema

Used as anti hypertensive drug because doesnot decrease the renal flow and GFR.
Decrease central adrenergic outflow.
Decrease norepinephrine release

Dry mouth (Xerostomia)  and sedation are frequent effect.
Fluid retention.
Depression.

Reduce peripheral resistance and BP that’s why used as antihypertensive drug.
Moderate to severe hypertension.
Used for hypertensive patients with renal insufficiency.
Decrease adrenergic outflow from CNS.

Sedation.
Hemolytic anemia.
Edema caused by salt and water retention.
Postural hypotention.
