Answer: Blocks the effects of Angiotensin II on receptor organs:
counters RAAS & blocks release of aldosterone. Tx: HTN. SE:
Angioedema.
⩥ lispro insulin.
Answer: Short-duration/rapid acting insulin often taken with longer
acting insulin. It is produced by making an amino acid switch from
natural insulin.
⩥ lithium.
Answer: BPD; drug of choice for euphoric mania.Na+ depletion can lead
to Lithium toxicity (diuretics, dehydration) When the body is low on
sodium, it holds onto lithium, voiding increased
⩥ lovastatin.
Answer: "Inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase leading to increases in the
number of LDL receptors. Beneficial actions include lowering LDL
levels, raising HDL levels and increasing plaque stability. SEs include
headache, myalgia, and rash. Category X drug.

Answer: "Biguanide that acts by decreasing glucose production. Major
SEs include hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis. It is a preferred treatment
for obese pts with insulin resistant diabetes, and possibly for NIDDM
prevention.

that binds to HIV reverse transcriptase. Adverse effects include rash,
erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, hepatotoxicity, and
multiple drug interactions.
