Non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers -- which are diltiazem and verapamil -- are statistically more likely to cause constipation. Of these two, verapamil has a higher probability of causing this side effect.

Nitrates are definitely the most associated with tachyphylaxis.

ACE inhibitors can also show some tolerance, right?

Wait, are we sure it's just nitrates?

I feel like calcium channel blockers might have some relevance here too, but I can't recall the details.

I’m a bit confused; I thought ACE inhibitors could also cause some form of tolerance, but maybe not tachyphylaxis specifically?

I remember practicing a question about drug tolerance, and nitrates were definitely mentioned there.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Is the question asking about the purpose of the "Equipment" category, or is it asking us to identify the specific equipment-related causes of defects? I want to make sure I understand the question before I select an answer.

This is a classic contract law question. Offer, acceptance, and competent parties - that's the answer. I'm confident I've got this one nailed down.

Hey, at least we know the answer isn't the ACE inhibitors. Those guys are about as steady as a rock!

Angiotensin-receptor blockers, no doubt. They're the drama queens of the cardiovascular drug world.

I'm going with the calcium channel blockers on this one. They're about as reliable as a cheap watch.

Direct renin inhibitors, for sure. Tachyphylaxis is their middle name!

Hmm, I think it's gotta be the nitrates. Those babies can really lose their punch over time.

I agree with Shelba, Calcium channel blockers can lead to tachyphylaxis due to their mechanism of action.
