Question

identify the drug classifications that are used to treat coronary artery disease
drug class
anticholinergics
bile acid sequestrants
cholesterol absorption inhibitor
fibric acid derivatives (fibrates)
nicotinic acid (niacin)
omega - 3 fatty acids
statins
sulfonylureas
thrombolytic agents

Explanation:

Anticholinergics are generally not first - line for coronary artery disease. Bile acid sequestrants mainly lower cholesterol but not directly treat coronary artery disease symptoms. Cholesterol absorption inhibitors, fibrates, niacin, omega - 3 fatty acids, and statins are used to manage lipid levels which is important in coronary artery disease. Thrombolytic agents are used to dissolve blood clots in acute coronary syndromes. Sulfonylureas are for diabetes management and not for coronary artery disease treatment directly.

Answer:

Anticholinergics: Not Used
Bile Acid Sequestrants: Not Used
Cholesterol Absorption Inhibitor: Used
Fibric Acid Derivatives (Fibrates): Used
Nicotinic Acid (Niacin): Used
Omega - 3 Fatty Acids: Used
Statins: Used
