Be very careful taking the thiazide diuretics. These have a well known(although not mentioned by my doctor-I had to find it out myself) side effect of increasing the risk of skin cancer, especially squamous cell skin cancer. One study I read indicated that the risk is 30% higher(10% increase for basil cell and melanoma). Not knowing the risk, I took a thiazide diuretic and after about 1 year later starting suffering squamous cell skin cancers every 6 months or so. I had never had these before and my siblings do not have them. Even after I got off of the drug, I am still seeing these. I recommend that you do not take these unless absolutely necessary.

That was ok. But there's a few key things medical and pharmaceutical students should know for patient safety.
Like ACEi and AT2 blockers shouldn't be combined.
Diuretics are also not 1st line due to kidney damage risk and postural hypotension.
ACEi have similar yet lower risks, but shouldn't ever be used in bilateral renal stenosis.
Those basics usually pop up in exams.

I was told Calcium channel blockers would effect the HR....and minimally also does some coronary vasodilatation. Also with ARBs, it only effects SVR.

[marykanaiza]

You are a genius. Your videos are really fantastic.

[gabrielarodriguez]

Thank you so much! I Loved your explanation! 👏

[wkwsiam]

Excellent presentation, however could not read what you wrote on the board. Medical terms need bold print. Took a screen shot at the end.

[MFLimited]

Thank you. What about Alpha Blockers (Doxazosin, Prazosin, Terazosin). I know they’re usually used in combination with a beta blocker or diuretic, but they should probably be on this list I believe?

[justskvthings]

Great sir! But sir how to decide which drug should be given when?
