K+ conductance (affects other ion channels also) Drug clonidine prazosin metoprolol propranolol sodium nitroprusside nitroglycerin verapamil enalapril losartan hydrochlorothiazide furosemide digoxin quinidine lidocaine amiodarone. Additional drug interaction discussed: vasodilators + sildenafil (viagra) *flumazenil can be used to reverse benzodiazepine overdose.
