Pharmacology cheat sheet for antihypertensives... How many of these interactions with the ABC of antihypertensives do you know? ➤➤➤ Share with a study buddy! A - ACE inhibitors interact with potassium sparing diuretics such as eplerenone and spironolactone to increase the risk of hyperkalaemia (raised potassium level). They also interact with NSAIDs, which increases the risk of nephrotoxicity (kidney damage). B - Beta blockers interact with calcium channel blockers (such as verapa...

ACE inhibitors produce vasodilation by inhibiting the formation of angiotensin II. This vasoconstrictor is formed by the proteolytic action of renin (released by the kidneys) acting on circulating angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme. 😊 #Theknowledgepharm #ACEInhibitors #PharmacyKnowledge #Inhibitors #Pharmacy #Pharmacology #Drug #body #medicalstudents #pharmacystudents #biology #medicine #healthcare…

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are used primarily to treat hypertension and are also useful for conditions such as heart failure and chronic kidney disease, independent of their effect on blood pressure. This article reviews the indications for ACE inhibitors and ARBs and offers advice for managing their adverse effects, particularly declining renal function and hyperkalemia.

ACE Inhibitors for high blood pressure (HBP/HTN). Don't forget about the Beta-blockers, Calcium Channel blockers (CCB), Vasodilators, Diuretics, Alpha-Beta Blockers, ...
