Blood Pressure Drugs | Mechanism of Action

In this video, Dr Mike outlines the most common drugs used to treat high blood pressure (Hypertension). He shows you an easy way to remember them and explains their mechanism of action.

Absolutely fascinating.
This should be taught in school beginning with preschool. The human body and how it works.
Seems like this would be the most important thing taught in school since we all have a body. So many people only learn about their body when disease or illness enter into their lives.

If I can just hit "like" a billion times, I would. Thank you Dr. Mike for putting logic into this. This helps so much in understanding, not just memorizing.

Dear Dr Mike!
I am a big follower of yours and appreciate your educative videos. I noticed a mistake which would be nice if corrected: you said that non-dihydropyridines are for blood vessel dilation. Which surprised me as of my knowledge non-dihydropyridine works more on heart tissue and the the dihydropyridines works on blood vessels.

Thank you

Can't appreciate you enough. Before I die wanted to understand all this

Follower since the beginning. I love all your content. Very greatfful for all of it. With respect, a black/bold marker would have been awesome in this video. I believe the topic is worth a new video where we can actually see/read what you write. Keep up with the great work!

Great stuff. Reminds me of my Cell Biology class back in the day.

I knew I would understand this in no time here thanks 🤭 I'll definitely give you a shout out at my graduation

Hi Dr Mike and Matt, I love your videos and find them extremely useful and motivating as they're motivating, well--explained and crisp.
I must point out that at 20:51, I believe you got the dihydropyridenes and the non-dihydropyridenes mixed up, I just found that out while going through my class lecture slides and corrected my notes. Seems, dihydropyridenes work on vasculature not the other way round. Non-dihydropyridenes like Verapamil work on the heart.
Thank you for making these amazing and easy-to-learn videos
💚

Great content, as always🥰! Although the DHPs are targeted at smooth muscle, non-DHPs are targeted at the myocardium! just a minor correction at 20:55

Thank you Dr Mike for the wonderful presentation. Just a quick question. Dihydropyridines are the ones that act on the blood vessels and non dihydropyridines mostly on heart. You said the reverse at 20:50 minutes. Can you please elaborate on that?

[tonygosbee]

Thank u so much fr sharing yr knowledge. God bless u.

[Drjpharmacy]

Sorry Doc but at 20:30 Non-DHP work mainly on the heart and DHP's work on blood vessels. You got them flipped. I just wanna make you aware of it but great content all-around. I am a Pharmacist Intern myself so drugs and MOA is kinda my thing lol. Again great content all around

Excellent video. Really appreciate the effort you have taken to explain things so efficiently.

Had a small question: between ACE inhibitors and ARB blockers- which one is more effective or has less side effects?
