Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
- answer-These medications are contraindicated in patients with inflammatory or
irritable bowel syndromes.
Alternative treatment regimen for CHF
- answer-In people who are intolerant of ACE inhibitors or ARBs or who have
significant kidney dysfunction, the use of combined hydralazine and a long-acting
nitrate such as isosorbide nitrate is an effective alternative strategy. This has been
shown to reduce mortality in people with moderate heart failure, especially African
Americans.
Amiodarone
- answer-Patient may experience vision problems, a bluish-gray discoloration of
the skin, photosensitivity, interstitial disease, as well as hypo and hyperthyroidism
when taking this medication
Amiodarone
- answer-This medication is structurally similar to thyroxine, which can cause

create decompensation due to an unrecognized form of heart failure. In addition, if
these medications are used for more than 1 year there is an increased risk of
bladder cancer.
