On this episode, we continue with the Top 200 Drugs podcast. We cover the basics of the following drugs: tizanidine, risperidone, ramipril, pravastatin, and terazosin.
Tizanidine is a skeletal muscle relaxant that has drug interactions via CYP2D6
Risperidone is a 2nd generation antipsychotic. Be on the lookout for EPS, hyperprolactinemia, sedation, and metabolic syndrome.
Ramipril is an antihypertensive agent that is an ACE Inhibitor. Cough and hyperkalemia are two important adverse effects.
Pravastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that lowers LDL levels. It isn’t as potent as other statins and I discuss this on the podcast episode.
Terazosin is a non-selective alpha-blocker that may be used for BPH and hypertension.
