Anti-anginal drugs (chest pain)

Angina (Ischemic angina) 
It is a chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart ..
It is also called angina pectoris 
Angina pectoris 
It is a pain syndrome due to induction of an adverse oxygen supply/demand situation in a proportion of the myocardium..

Types of angina 
(1)-Classical angina(Stable angina)  -Attacks are predicatbly provoked by exercise, ,eating cotious ..when the increased energy demand is withdrwan.. 
(2)-Varient /Prinzmetal/Vasopastic angina
Attacks occur at rest during sleep and are unpredictables.. 
(3)-Unstable angina -Increase in duration and severity of attacks ,which may occur even during rest ..
Mostly due to rupture of an antheromatous plaque attacking platelets.

Classification of drugs -
.Terminate attacks -Nitrates 
.Used for chronic prophylaxis -other drugs 

 (1)-Nitrates 
 Nitrates dilate the veins more than artries, peripheral pooling of blood and decreased venus return (preload on heart reduced) end diastolic size and pressure reduced.
   Short acting nitrates -Glyceryl trinitrates 
   Long acting nitrates -Isosorbide 

(2)-Beta blockers
Reduced cardiac work and oxygen consumption as a consequences decrease in heart rate.. 
EX -propanalol, Metoprolol

(3)-Calcium channel blocker 
Interfere with calcium movement into the cell and slower the movement of calcium in the cell.. 
Ex-Verapamil, Diltiazem ,Amlodipine 

(4)-Potassium channel openers 
Regulate the movement of ion across the cell membrane ..
 Ex-Nicorandil

(5)Other antianginal drugs-Trimetazadine,        Ranolazine ,Dipyrmidole

Drug for cough

Cough It is protective reflex,and its a sudden expulsion of respiratory secretion and foreign particles from air passage..  It mainly occurs due to the stimulation of mechano or chemoreceptor in throat and respiratory passage..  Demulscent ( Agent that   Reliving pain and inflammation) Pharyngeal demulscent soothe the throat and reduce afferent impulses from the inflammed /irritated pharyngeal mucosa, thus provide sympatominetic relief in dry cough arising from throat..  Expectorant (Mucokinetics)  Thses are the drugs believed to increase bronchiol secretion or reduce its viscosity fascilating its removal by coughing..  Mucolytics drugs  . Bromhexine .Ambroxol  Acetylcysteine  .Carbocisteine Anti-tussive  Act in the CNS raise the threshold of cough centre or act peripherally in the respiratory tract to reduce tussal impulses or both tissue actions..  Opoid antitusive  .Codeine .Ethylmorphine Non opoid antitusive  .Noscapine (Narcotine) .Dextromethomorphone  .Chlophrnidol

These are the most potent and tolerated best oral drugs  Example  . Isoniazid  .Ethambutol .pyrazinamide .Rifampin Second line drug   These drugs have either low antituberculae efficacy or higher toxicity or both and are used, when the first line drug cannot be used or to supplement them..  These are less effective and bacteriosattic /More toxic oral drug for resista
