1. An ACE inhibitor which produces an adverse effect of a dry, persistent cough. 2. An aldosterone receptor blocker which works by decreasing vasoconstriction and blocking aldosterone production. 3. A drug used for lowering serum cholesterol levels in conjunction with a low-fat diet. Elevated liver function tests (LFTs) are an adverse effect. 4. A cardiac glycoside with positive inotropic, negative chronotropic, and negative dromotropic properties. 5. The prototype of the class 1B antidysrhythmics. 6. A diuretic which is a first-line drug for HTN. 7. A relatively selective beta 1 blocker which causes rebound tachycardia when discontinued abruptly. 8. A potassium-sparing diuretic that works by blocking aldosterone. 9. A diuretic that works by increasing osmotic pressure. 10. An IV drug that mimics the activity of BNP. 11. An IV-only direct vasodilator which metabolizes to thiocyanate. 12. A beta blocker which blocks alpha-1 receptors in addition to beta 1 and beta 2 receptors. 13. A diuretic which works in the ascending loop of Henle. 14. A calcium channel blocker used for atrial dysrhythmias. 15. An alpha-1 blocker which causes orthostatic hypotension as an adverse effect. _____ furosemide (Lasix) _____ digoxin (Lanoxin) _____ hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) (Microzide) _____ prazosin (Minipress) _____ nitroprusside (Nipride) _____ lisinopril (Prinivil) _____ losartan (Cozaar) _____ carvedilol (Coreg) _____ lovastatin (Mevacor) _____ mannitol _____ metoprolol (Lopressor) _____ nesiritide (Natrecor) _____ spironolactone (Aldactone) _____ diltiazem (Cardizem) _____ lidocaine
