Q

Phentolamine, Phenoxybenzamine

A
  • Antagoinst to both alpha receptors
  • Phenoxybenzamine binds irreversibly to receptors
  • Blockade of alpha receptors with subsequent adimistration of epinephrine results in vasodilation and a drop in BP
  • Used to Treat Raynaud’s and frostbite, prevents in extremities
  • Can treat impotence, allows vasodilation and erection
23
Q

Terazosin Tamsulosin

A
  • Antagoinst to alpha 1 receptors
  • 2nd generation
  • Used to Treat Hypertension
  • Used to treat BPH, relaxes smooth muscle around urethra that constricts the urethra die to an enlarged prostate
24
Q

Pindolol

A

-Antagoinst to beta receptors but causes low level activation

25
Q

Metoprolol Atenolol

A
  • Antagonist to B1 specifically
  • Used to treat hypertension
  • Used to treat angina pectoris
  • Currently given after MI, but use is being questioned
26
Q

Reserprine

A

-Blocks VMAT and prevents dopamine transport into the vesicle and thus blocks norepi in presynaptic terminals

27
Q

Asthma

A

Abuterol

28
Q
