CARDIAC DISORDERS
Anteanememic Drug
1. Ferrous sulfate
Anti-hyperetensive Drugs
• Loop Diuretics
3. Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
• Calcium Channel Blockers – blocks the entry of calcium into cells, increase
myocardial oxygen supply by dilating the coronary arteries and lower vascular
resistance and oxygen demand.
• nifedipine
• diltiazem
• verapamil
• amlodipine
Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs
• Statins – inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver, lowering LDL
synthesis and serum levels
• prevastin
• simvastatin
• atrovastatin
• Bile Acid Sequestrants – lower LDL levels by binding bile acids in the intestine,
reducing its reabsorption and cholesterol production in the liver.
• cholestyramine
• Nicotinic Acid – lowers total and LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels
• niacin
• Fibric Acic Derivates – lowers serum triglyceride levels; have only slight to
modest effect on LDL.
• gemfibrozil
• fenofibrate
• Antiplatelet Medications
• clopidogrel
• acetylsalicylic acid
Anti-anginal Medications
Cardiac Glycosides – enhances contractility and slows heart rate (positive inotrope
and negative chronotrope) 1. digoxin
Antidysrhythmic Drugs
• atropine sulfate

• lidocaine
• amiodarone hydrochloride
Gastrointestinal/Pancreatic/Liver Disorders
Antiemetics
• trimethobenzamide
• metoclopramide hydrochloride
Antacids
• aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide
• aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, simethicone
• aluminum hydroxide, magnesium carbonate
• aluminum hydroxide gel - promotes excretion of phosphorus.
Proton Pump Inhibitors. – inhibits gastric acid secretions by blocking final transport of
hydrogen ions into the gastric lumen
• omerprazole
