1. Opioids -also known as narcotics.
-used to manage moderate to severe pain
-highly effective for acute and chronic pain (post surgical/ cancer pain).
-highly addictive and can cause euphoria
prolonged use can lead to tolerance, physical dependence and addiction.
2. Beta-blockers medications to manage hypertension
ACE inhibitors
Cacium channel
blokers
Diuretics
3. Beta Blockers -decrease heart rate and dilate arteries by blocking beta receptors
(metroprolol) -reduce heart rate and the force of contraction, lowering blood pressure
4. ACE inhibitors * block the conversion of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin II, leading to vasodilation
(Lisinopril) and reduce blood pressure.
*used for?* HTN, heart failure, MI, diabetic nephropathy
*side effects/adverse effects?* persistent dry cough, angioedema, hypotension
5. Calcium chan- -Decrease the force of contraction of the muscle cells, and dilate arteries by
nel blockers (am- blocking calcium. Reduces blood pressure and the effort the heart must exert to
lodipine) pump blood. Controls rate in ST, Aflutter, Afib.
-inhibit calcium ions from entering cardiac and smooth muscle cells, causing
relaxation of blood vessels and lowering blood pressure.
6. Diuretics Help the kidneys remove excess sodium and water, reducing blood volume and
