Today's video is all about ACE Inhibitors vs. ARBS.

The NCLEX focuses on key differences between ACE inhibitors vs. ARBs, including their mechanism of action or mode of action, as well as the main side effects to watch for when giving these antihypertensive drugs. Since ACE's and ARB's prevent the action angiotensin 2 and aldosterone hormone, this results in a retention of potassium leading to hyperkalemia. For this reason, Ace inhibitors and Angiotensin receptor blockers are considered potassium-sparing medications.

we also have to watch for renal impairment so we will monitor for serum creatine level (normal 0.6-1.2 mg/dL)

you are helping me so much with my pharm final on Thursday!!!

[hansbeukers]

I'm only using Nifedipine. It's a Calcium channel blocker for the arteries not the heart. It lowers my bloodpressure.

I am in NP school, still using your videos to refresh

[SketchySosa]

If only my pharmacology teacher would have taught they way you did

Could someone please explain why ACE inhibitors are first choice, especially when the side effects are more deadly to patients?

[smokeybear]

I was started on -pril. After doing some research I asked and was switched to -sartan. For me less side affects but see that perhaps my leg cramps at night (minor) may be from this. There was a study that indicated low dose of the two together could be synergistic. My doc says take at night before bed as the majority of heart events occur then. Need to figure out if I need to supplement with something. All my labs are in the window. Both had a diuretic effect. But I drink at least a gallon of water during the day - mostly morning.

would it be possible if you can make a video about antidysrhythmic meds?

Very good point but MFp pharmacology also gives a vivid explanation to this topic one can visit and subscribe as well❤

Outline the Medicine’s for high blood pressure

[JWbabyshark]

Which one or group of medicine good and safe for slowing heart rate and to lower blood pressure also? Alternative and safer then Metoprolol ER

[kylerutherford]

ACE and ARBs also prevent vasoconstriction right?

[nenadcubric]

Both worsen Anxiety and make Hot Flushes

[Fearless_DoGooder]

Do people take ACE's and ARB's together, such as Lisinopril with Telmistartan?

[Ch.haroonzafar]

Hello. Very helpfull.I am male 40 years My doctor prescribed me Concor 2.5 /day. My Cholesterol and blood suger reports are normal. Plz suggest me is betablockers are good in age 40

[avwunudjemercy]

What is the full meaning of the ACE, was does each letter stand for? Does eating too much leafy vegetables green cause high potassium?

[mattwatson]

I'm on Lisinopril (ACE) have low BP and low HR also have some Raynaud's. Also, take Keppra and lamictal . Thinking of switching to ARB due to the combined effect of the three drugs. Whatcha think Doc?

[meganc]

I understand that if a patient has angioedema, you would contact the HCP and stop the medication, but if a pt had signs and symptoms for a dry cough, is that life threatening/call HCP? or can you just tx with ARBs

[isimemenehiremen]

If sodium is retained, and potassium is excreted how come hyperkalemia is a side effect??🤔🤔

[arthurzapanta]

furosemide potassium chloride combine losartan?
