About AtenololCardioselective Beta(Beta1 )-adrenergic blocking agent, Antihypertensive,anti anginal.Mechanism of Action of AtenololAtenolol is a cardio selective beta-1 adrenergic antagonist. It has negative chronotropic and negative inotropic effects on heart. It decreases oxygen consumption; cardiac work and aortic pressure. It decreases nor adrenaline and renin releases. It decreases central sympathetic out flow In sympathetic over activity, it prolongs systole by retarding conduction. It increases oxygen supply and exercise tolerance in angina patients. The drug decreases BP in hypertensive individuals; both systolic and diastolic BP is reduced.
Antimigraine action: Atenolol is useful in migraine due to its beta blockade action. Through beta blockade action it inhibits vasodilation and relieves migraine.

About AmiloridePotassium-Sparing Diuretic , a pyrazine-carbonyl-guanidine, Diuretic, Antihypertensive.Mechanism of Action of AmilorideAmiloride is a guanidine derivative which exerts its diuretic action by interacting with renal epithelial Na+ channels in distal tubules and collecting duct and prevents sodium reabsorption. It prevents potassium lose. It also increases chloride, bicarbonate, and water excretion and decreases H+ excretion. The drug augment the natriuretic and anti hypertensive response of other drugs. It is used in the management of edema associated with congestive heart failure, hepatic cirrhosis and idiopathic edema. It is used mainly in combination with other drugs in the management of hypertension and to correct hypokalemia caused by other diuretic drugs.Pharmacokinets of AmilorideAbsorption: Orally absorbed up to 50%. Food decreases absorption. Distribution: Widely distributed extravascularly. Metabolism: It is not metabolized in the body. Excretion: Excreted mainly through urine.

About HydrochlorothiazideThiazide derivatibve, Diuretic.Mechanism of Action of HydrochlorothiazideIt is thiazide diuretic which exerts its action by acting at site-3(central dilating segment of early distal tubule). It binds to Na+Cl- symporter and inhibits Na+Cl- symport at the luminal membrane. It has additional carbonic anhydrase inhibitory actions in proximal tubules. It increases natriuresis, kaliuresis and diuresis. It decreases Ca2+ excretion and increases Mg2+excretion. It also has minor carbonic anhydrase inhibitory action. It also causes direct arteriolar vasodilatation and decreases total peripheral resistance. The antihypertensive actions of the drug may be attributable to depletion of sodium and subsequent reduction in plasma volume and a decrease in peripheral resistance. Decrease in peripheral resistance is due to either the loss of sodium from the arteriolar wall or a direct action on the vascular bed. It is an effective drug in edema associated with congestive heart failure.
