Question

identify the drug classifications that are used to treat hypertension.
drug class
antitussives
beta - adrenergic blockers/ calcium channel blockers
peripheral vasodilator
procainamide
thiazide diuretics

Explanation:

Antitussives are for cough - not hypertension. Beta - Adrenergic Blockers/Calcium Channel Blockers reduce blood pressure by affecting heart rate and blood vessel tone. Peripheral Vasodilators widen blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Procainamide is mainly for arrhythmias, not hypertension. Thiazide Diuretics reduce fluid volume in the body to lower blood pressure.

Answer:

Beta - Adrenergic Blockers/Calcium Channel Blockers: Used
Peripheral Vasodilator: Used
Thiazide Diuretics: Used
Antitussives: Not Used
Procainamide: Not Used
