a.) Morgan, a 65-year old female, has been prescribed a thiazide diuretic for the treatment of hypertension. She has achieved good blood pressure control. She unfortunately dropped a rock on her foot which caused quite a bit of blunt force trauma. As she is in pain and her foot has swollen, she decides to start taking naproxen. After a few days, she starts feeling ill, and her blood pressure registers higher than it typically does (145/90 mmHg). Regarding her pharmacotherapy, explain i) how the thiazide diuretic assists with blood pressure control, ii) how naproxen will control pain and inflammation, and iii) why her blood pressure suddenly increased. (10½)
b.) After consulting her physician, Morgan recovers and her blood pressure starts to decrease. She takes a holiday overseas soon thereafter with her husband, and experiences some oedema in her legs due to the flight. She figures that the diuretic will help remedy this, so decides to increase the dose to reduce the swelling quicker. Increasing the dosage does not increase the effect of the drug dramatically though. Explain the i) rationale of using her diuretic for her oedema treatment, and ii) why the increased concentration did not cause a significant effect.

a.) Lianne, a 35-year old female, suffers from hypercholesterolaemia and intractable, unstable angina. Her doctor, fearing it will lead to cardiovascular complications, prescribes her a calcium channel blocker and statin. Her doctor has selected pravastatin, but is still deciding between diltiazem or nifedipine. Explain i) the rationale of using a statin, ii) the way in which it is transported into cells, and iii) which calcium channel blocker would be most appropriate. (4½)
b). Lianne’s doctor decides on a suitable calcium channel blocker from the two options, and her treatment goes well. Explain i) how her calcium channel blocker will reduce angina, and ii) the way in which it will alter the heart rate.
