Question

identify the drug classifications that are used to treat hypertension.
drug class
alkylating agents
alpha - blockers
alpha - glucosidase inhibitors
angiotensin - converting enzyme (ace) inhibitors
angiotensin receptor blockers (arbs)
antiadrenergic agents

Explanation:

Alkylating agents are used in cancer - treatment, not hypertension. Alpha - blockers widen blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Alpha - glucosidase inhibitors are for diabetes, not hypertension. ACE inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing blood pressure. ARBs block angiotensin II receptors, lowering blood pressure. Antiadrenergic agents reduce the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, helping to lower blood pressure.

Answer:

Alkylating Agents: Not Used
Alpha - Blockers: Used
Alpha - Glucosidase Inhibitors: Not Used
Angiotensin - Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors: Used
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB's): Used
Antiadrenergic Agents: Used
