1. Albuterol -Bronchodilator
(Proventil) -control and prevent reversible airway obstruction for COPD and Asthma
2. t-PA (Alteplase) -thrombolytic
-lysis of thrombi in coronary arteries
-decrease risk of HF or death
-lysis of PE or DVT
-lysis of thrombi causing ischemic stroke reducing neurological sequelae
3. Amiodarone -Antidysrhythmic agent. .
(Cordarone) -ventricular fibrillation and unstable ventricular tachycardia. Incompatible with
heparin, may be given in PO maintenance dose, monitor for respiratory complica-
tions.
4. Amlodipine (Nor- -calcium channel blocker, antihypertensive
vasc) -management of HTN and angina
-vasodilation, decrease BP
-decrease severity and frequency of attacks of Angina
5. Atenolol -beta blocker, antihypertensive
(Tenormin) -management of HTN
-prevention of MI
-management of chest pain
-decrease BP & HR
6. Atorvastatin (Lipi- -Statin, lipid lowering agent
tor) -prevention of cardiovascular disease
-decrease risk of MI or stroke
-decrease risk of Angina
-lowers total and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides
-slows progression of atherosclerosis

-Antiarrhythmics
-Can temporarily revert sinus bradycardia to normal sinus rhythm, and reverse AV
nodal blocks by removing vagal influences.
-Used in bradyarrhythmias to decrease vagal tone.
-treat of exercise-induced bronchospasm
-increase HR
8. Carvedilol -beta blocker, antihypertensive
(Coreg) -Treatment of HTN, HF, left ventricular dysfunction after MI
-decrease HR and BP
-improve cardiac output
9. Ciprofloxacin -Fluoroquinolone, Antibiotic
(Cipro) -treatment of bacterial infections
10. Clopidogrel (Plav- -Antiplatelet
ix) -acute coronary syndrome(ST-segment elevation, MI, non ST elevation, or unstable
angina)
-reduce risk of MI and stroke
11. Digoxin (Lanoxin) -antiarrhythmic, inotropic
-increase cardiac output, slow heart rate
-use with HF, A.fib, A.flutter, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia
12. Dobutamine -Adrenergic agonist (catecholamine)
(Dobutrex) -short-term management of HF
-increase cardiac output
-increase urine output
13. Dopamine (In- -inotropic, vasopressor
tropin) -improve BP, cardiac output
-improve renal blood flow, increase urine output
