-
A.C.E inhibitors
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
Block AII = decrease bp, vasodilation
PRIL
-
A.2.R.B
Angiotensin 2 Receptor Blockers block AII enzymes from specific receptor sites.
Block AII activity = block vasoconstriction
ARTAN
-
Antibiotics
Inhibit reproduction of new bacteria cells.
-
Anticonvulsants
Suppress rapid firing of neurons in the nervous system (brain).
Anti-epileptic or anti-seizure drugs
-
Anti-diabetic/ Sulfonylureas
Lower blood glucose levels. Only treat Type II Diabetes.
-
Benzodiazepines
Benzos are used as anti-anxiety agents, muscle relaxants, sedatives and hypnotics
PAM
-
Beta Blockers (B1)
Beta-adrenergic blocking agents. Block adrenaline receptors, cause actions in the heart.
OLOL
-
Calcium Channel Blockers
Calcium channel blockers block calcium channels in cardiac muscle and blood vessels, slows down heart activity.
-
Diuretics
Used to treat hypertension. Promote evacuation of water from the body which decreases pressure on CV system.
-
HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors (Statin)
Inhibits HMG CoA reductase which produces cholesterol in the liver. Statin lowers cholesterol production.
STATIN
-
NSAID
Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs are commonly used as analgesics and fever reducers.
Non-narcotic, sold OTC.
