Antihypertensivesli |
|
Lisinopril pharmacologic classification |
ACE inhibitors |
|
Lisinopril action |
ACE inhibitors block conversion of angiotensin 1 into vasoconstricting angiotensin 2. Ace inhibitors also prevent dregadation of bradykinin and other vasodilatatory prostaglandin. Increases plasma renin level and decreases aldosterone levels |
|
Lisinopril adverse reactions |
Cough, hypotension, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea, hypokalemia |

furosemide pharmacologic classification |
loop diuretics |
|
furosemide action |
inhibits reabsorption of sodium and chloride from the loop of Henle and distal renal tubule, increases renal excretion of water, sodium, chloride, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. effectiveness persists in impaired renal function |
|
furosemide contraindictions |
