 After meals: "PC" (post cibum)

Cardiovascular Drugs

 Antihypertensives:
o ACE Inhibitors (e.g., lisinopril):
 Adverse Effects: Persistent dry cough, hyperkalemia, angioedema (rare
but life-threatening).
o ARBs (e.g., losartan):
 Adverse Effects: Hyperkalemia, hypotension, dizziness. Less likely to
cause cough than ACE inhibitors.
o Beta-Blockers (e.g., metoprolol):
 Adverse Effects: Bradycardia, hypotension, fatigue, erectile dysfunction.
Caution in asthma due to potential bronchoconstriction.
o Calcium Channel Blockers (e.g., amlodipine):
 Adverse Effects: Peripheral edema, constipation, dizziness, bradycardia.
 Diuretics:
o Loop Diuretics (e.g., furosemide):
 Adverse Effects: Hypokalemia, dehydration, ototoxicity (high doses),
hypotension.
o Thiazide Diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide):
 Adverse Effects: Hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia (can
precipitate gout).
o Potassium-Sparing Diuretics (e.g., spironolactone):
 Adverse Effects: Hyperkalemia, gynecomastia (in men), menstrual
irregularities.
 Anticoagulants:
o Heparin:
 Adverse Effects: Bleeding, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT),
osteoporosis (long-term use).
o Warfarin:
 Adverse Effects: Bleeding, skin necrosis, teratogenic (not safe in
pregnancy).
o Enoxaparin (LMWH):
 Adverse Effects: Bleeding, thrombocytopenia (less common than with
unfractionated heparin).
 Antiarrhythmics:
o Amiodarone:
 Adverse Effects: Pulmonary toxicity, liver toxicity, thyroid dysfunction
(hypo- or hyperthyroidism), corneal deposits, skin discoloration (blue-gray
skin with long-term use).
o Digoxin:
 Adverse Effects: Digoxin toxicity (nausea, vomiting, yellow/green vision
changes, arrhythmias), bradycardia. Monitor for hypokalemia, which
increases toxicity risk.
