Vasodilator medication esp. Hydralazine contains
CYCLIC GUANOSINE MONOPHOSPHATE a primary
content which causes vasodilation in the arterioles and
veinules
FACT
CCB are the mainstay
treatment for angina
pectoris, MI, CHF and
Hypertension
BLUFF
Side effects of ACE
inhibitors are Hacking dry
cough and Edema
FACT
Angiotensin II blockers acts in
increasing sodium and
retention of water in the distal
segment of nephron
BLUFF
ARBS prevent Angiotensinogen
II from binding to the
Angiotensinogen II receptor on
blood vessels and other tissue
BLUFF
The only direct Renin Inhibitor
available in the market is
Aliskiren (Tektura)
FACT
PERIPHERAL
VASODILATORS
ARE AGENTS WHICH ACT ON THE MOST DISTAL PARTS OF THE VASCULAR SYSTEM I.E. THE ARTERIOLES
AND VENULES. THEY DILATE THESE DISTAL BLOOD VESSELS AND LOWER THE BLOOD PRESSURE,
THEREFORE MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE HEART TO PUMP BLOOD THROUGH THESE PERIPHERAL BLOOD
VESSELS (AND THEREFORE THE WHOLE BODY).
MECHANISM OF ACTION

are an effective medications that reduces elevated systolic and
diastolic
blood
pressure
by
decreasing
peripheral vascular resistance. blood flow increases while renal
blood flow and glomerular filtration rate are preserved.

Reduction of peripheral arteriolar resistance and the associated fall
in blood pressure trigger sympathetic, vagal inhibitory, and renal
homeostatic mechanisms that lead to increased cardiac rate and
output and salt and water retention.
HYDRALAZINE (APRESOLINE)
hye-DRAL-a-zeen

Severe essential hypertension when the drug cannot be given orally
or when there is an urgent need to lower blood pressure

is used with or without other medications to treat high blood
pressure.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Relaxes vascular smooth muscles(arteries, arterioles and veins) causing
peripheral vasodilation and decreasing peripheral vascular resistance.
These actions decrease blood pressure and increase heart rate, stroke
volume and cardiac output
Dosage

ADULT DOSING

Max: 300mg/day

Start with 10mg PO QID x 2-4 days,
titrate the dose in 25mg QID x
remainder of the first week. Titrate
the dose upto 50mg QID for the
second and subsequent weeks.

Patients with low response to
hydration use a lower dosafe of
hydralazine combination with a
thiazide and/or reserpine or a
betablocker

PEDIATRIC DOSING

Initial dos: 0.75mg/kg/day in four
divided doses gradually increase
over the next 3-5 weeks to max
7.5mg/kg or 200mg daily

Renin-AngiotensinAldosterone System (RAAS)
IT IS A HORMONE SYSTEM THAT REGULATES BLOOD PRESSURE AND WATER BALANCE.
IF THE RAAS IS ABNORMALLY ACTIVE, BLOOD PRESSURE WILL BE TOO HIGH. THERE ARE
MANY DRUGS THAT INTERRUPT DIFFERENT STEPS IN THIS SYSTEM TO LOWER BLOOD
PRESSURE. THESE DRUGS ARE ONE OF THE MAIN WAYS TO CONTROL HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE, HEART FAILURE, KIDNEY FAILURE, AND HARMFUL EFFECTS OF DIABETES.]
ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING
ENZYME
INHIBITOR
CAPTOPRIL (CAPOTEN)

Used to treat hypertension, congestive heart failure, kidney
problems caused by diabetes, and improve survival after a heart
attack.
MECHANISM OF ACTION

Captopril competitively inhibits the conversion of angiotensin I (ATI)
to angiotensin II (ATII), thus resulting in reduced ATII levels and
aldosterone secretion. It also increases plasma renin activity and
bradykinin levels. Reduction of ATII leads to decreased sodium and
water retention. By these mechanisms, captopril produces a
hypotensive effect and a beneficial effect in congestive heart
failure

Angiotensin II
Receptor
Antagonist
THE ANGIOTENSIN II RECEPTOR BLOCKERS (ARBS) REPRESENT A
NEWER CLASS OF ANTIHYPERTENSIVE AGENTS. THEIR
MECHANISM OF ACTION DIFFERS FROM THAT OF THE
ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME (ACE) INHIBITORS, WHICH
ALSO AFFECT THE RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM.
Mechanism of action:
Losartan (Cozaar)
Losartan is the first Angiotensin
II receptor blocker that was
developed in 1986.
Cozaar is an angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
 Action: Blocks vasoconstrictor, aldosterone-secreting effects of an
angiotensin II, inhibiting binding of angiotensin II to A1 receptors. This
keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and
improves blood flow.
This is a potent vasodilator.
Indication:
Hypertension, stroke with heart disease
Kidney damage with DM2
Appearance : Film-coated tablet form
50 mg – white color with mark 952 in teardrop shape
100 mg – white color with mark 960 in teardrop shape
Hypersensitive to Losartan.
Pregnante women.
Losartan
Losartan
Losartan
Potassium sparing
diuretics or potassium
supplements
Lithium
NSAIDS
Hyperkalemia
Lithium toxicity
Decrease effect of
Losartan
Valsartan (Diovan)
Used to treat high blood pressure in adults and
children who are at least 6 years old.
Used in adults to treat heart failure and to
lower the risk of death after a heart attack.
Used with or without other medications to treat
high blood pressure.
Dosages
40 mg are scored yellow ovaloid tablets with beveled edges,
imprinted NVR/DO (Side 1/Side 2)
80 mg are pale red almond-shaped tablets with beveled edges,
imprinted NVR/DV
160 mg are grey-orange almond-shaped tablets with beveled edges,
imprinted NVR/DX
320 mg are dark grey-violet almond-shaped tablets with beveled
edges, imprinted NVR/DXL
Side effect
Insomnia, fatigue, heartburn, abdominal pain, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting,
arthralgia, edema
Adverse effect/ toxic reactions
Overdosage may manifest as hypotension, tachycardia. Bradycardia occurs less often. Viral
infection and URTI (cough, pharyngitis, sinusitis, rhinitis) occur rarely.
Contraindication
 Hypersensitive t o Diovan
 Severe hepatic impairment, biliary cirrhosis and cholestasis
 Second and third trimester of pregnancy
Caution
 Concurrent use of potassium-sparing diuretics or potassium supplements
 Mild to severe hepatic impairment
 Unstented bilateral/unilateral renal artery stenosis
 Renal impairment
 Significant aortic/mitral stenosis
 Heart failure
Therapeutic indications
Hypertension - Treatment of hypertension in children and adolescents 6 to 18 years of age.
Recent myocardial infarction - Treatment of clinically stable adult patients with
symptomatic heart failure or asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction after a recent
(12 hours-10 days) myocardial infarction
 In clinically stable patients, therapy may be initiated as early as 12 hours after a
myocardial infarction.
After an initial dose of 20 mg twice daily, valsartan should be titrated to 40 mg, 80 mg,
and 160 mg twice daily over the next few weeks.
The starting dose is provided by the 40 mg divisible tablet. The target maximum dose
is 160 mg twice daily.
Heart failure - Treatment of symptomatic heart failure in adult patients when Angiotensin
Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors cannot be used, or as add-on therapy to ACE inhibitors
when beta blockers cannot be used
Heart failure - Treatment of symptomatic heart failure in adult patients when
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors cannot be used, or as add-on
therapy to ACE inhibitors when beta blockers cannot be used
The recommended starting dose of Diovan is 40 mg twice daily.
Up titration to 80 mg and 160 mg twice daily should be done at intervals of at
least two weeks to the highest dose, as tolerated by the patient.
Consideration should be given to reducing the dose of concomitant diuretics.
The maximum daily dose administered in clinical trials is 320 mg in divided
doses.
Elderly - No dose adjustment is required in elderly patients.
Renal impairment - No dose adjustment is required for patients with a creatinine
clearance > 10ml/min.
Hepatic impairment - Diovan is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic
impairment, biliary cirrhosis and in patients with cholestasis. In patients with mild to
moderate hepatic impairment without cholestasis, the dose of valsartan should not
exceed 80 mg.
Monitor BP and apical pulse at drug trough (prior to a scheduled
dose), in addition to regular monitoring (be alert of fluctuations)
Monitor BP regularly.
Question for possibility of pregnancy.
Assess medication history. Check for drug interaction and also
diuretics.
Question for history of hepatic/renal impairment, renal artery
stenosis, history of severe CHF.
Maintain hydration. Offer fluids frequently.
Assess for evidence of URTI and cough.
Monitor daily pattern of bowel activity and consistency.
Obtain baseline chemistries and blood counts.
Lab tests: Monitor CBC, electrolytes, liver & kidney function with longterm therapy.
