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 work by blocking alpha - receptors to lower blood pressure. Alpha - glucosidase inhibitors are for diabetes management. ACE inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing blood pressure. ARBs block the action of angiotensin II at its receptors, also lowering blood pressure. Antiadrenergic agents reduce the effects of the sympathetic nervous system 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
