INSTRUCTIONS. Answer the following questions. Write your answers neatly and clearly with complete
citation of reference used (with pages).
Listed below are some classifications of antihypertensive agents. Complete the table with specific
information required in each column.
DRUG ACTION EXAMPLE (at least 2)
1. Angiotensin-converting Angiotensin-converting Enalapril (Vasotec)
enzymes (ACE) inhibitors enzyme (ACE) inhibitors help Benazepril
relax your veins and arteries (Lotensin)
to lower your blood
pressure. ACE inhibitors
prevent an enzyme in your
body from producing
angiotensin II, a substance
that narrows your blood
vessels.
2. Calcium Channel Blockers Calcium channel blockers Amlodipine
lower your blood pressure by (Norvasc)
preventing calcium from Diltiazem (Cardizem,
entering the cells of your heart
Tiazac, others)
and arteries. Calcium causes
the heart and arteries to
contract more strongly. By
blocking calcium, calcium
channel blockers allow blood
vessels to relax and open.
3. Angiotensin II Receptor Angiotensin II receptor Irbesartan (Avapro)
Blockers blockers help relax your Losartan (Cozaar)
veins and arteries to lower
your blood pressure and
make it easier for your
heart to pump blood.
Angiotensin is a chemical in
your body that narrows your
blood vessels. This
narrowing can increase
your blood pressure and
force your heart to work
