Drugs could include:
-
Hydralazine adverse reaction
|
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from
absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels from getting too low.
|
|
Ramipril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin
converting enzyme.
|
|
Calcium-channel blocking agent; a dihydropyridine derivative with an intrinsically long duration of action.
|
|
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from
absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.
|
|
Atenolol is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and
circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
|
|
β 1 -Selective adrenergic blocking agent.
|
|
Non-sulfhydryl ACE inhibitor.
|
|
β 1 -selective adrenergic blocking agent
|
|
Candesartan is in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Candesartan
keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
|
|
Angiotensin II receptor (AT 1 ) antagonist.
|
|
Captopril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin
converting enzyme.
|
|
Sulfhydryl ACE inhibitor.
|
|
Diltiazem is in a group of drugs called calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing the
muscles of your heart and blood vessels.
|
|
Nonselective β-adrenergic blocking agent with selective α 1 -adrenergic blocking activity.
|
|
Diuretic and antihypertensive agent, structurally and pharmacologically similar to thiazides.
|
|
Carvedilol is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and
circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
|
|
Calcium-channel blocking agent; nondihydropyridine-derivative.
|
|
Nonsulfhydryl ACE inhibitor.
|
|
Fosinopril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin
converting enzyme.
|
|
Nonsulfhydryl ACE inhibitor.
|
|
Hydralazine is a vasodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in your blood vessels to
help them dilate (widen). This lowers blood pressure and allows blood to flow more easily
through your veins and arteries.
|
|
Vasodilating agent.
|
|
Thiazide diuretic and antihypertensive agent.
|
|
Chlorthalidone is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from
absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.
|
|
Lisinopril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin
converting enzyme.
|
|
Non-sulfhydryl ACE inhibitor.
|
|
Losartan is in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Losartan keeps
blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
|
|
Angiotensin II receptor (AT 1 ) antagonist.
|
|
Benazepril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin
converting enzyme.
|
|
Trandolapril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin
converting enzyme.
|
|
Metoprolol is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and
circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
|
|
β 1 -Selective adrenergic blocking agent.
|
|
Amlodipine is in a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. Amlodipine relaxes (widens)
the blood vessels (veins and arteries), making it easier for the heart to pump and reducing its workload.
|
|
Olmesartan is in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Olmesartan
keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
|
|
Angiotensin II receptor (AT 1 ) antagonist.
|
|
Quinapril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin
converting enzyme.
|
|
Nonsulfhydryl ACE inhibitor.
|
|
Nonsulfhydryl ACE inhibitor.
|
|
Aldosterone antagonist; a potassium-sparing diuretic.
|
|
Potassium is a mineral that is found in many foods and is needed for several functions of
your body, especially the beating of your heart.
|
|
Nonsulfhydryl ACE inhibitor.
|
|
Valsartan is in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Valsartan
keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
|
|
Angiotensin II receptor (AT 1 ) antagonist.
|
|
Enalapril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin
converting enzyme.
|
|
Bisoprolol is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and
circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
