Q

What is the mechanism of action for Phenoxybenzamine?

A

Blocks α1 and α2, lowers BP, but has indirect baroreflex activation so HR rises

Q

Before surgery for removal of pheochromocytoma, what drugs should the patient be on?

A

Alpha Blocker first, then Beta Blocker

17
Q

What is the mechanism of action for Timolol?

A

Blocks β1 and β2 and reduces intraocular pressure.

18
Q

What is the standard treatment for Glaucoma?

A

Timolol

19
Q

Which Beta Blocker has the shortest half-life?

A

Esmolol; (β1 > β2) short half-life

20
Q

Nicotinic receptor agonism in the brain is responsible for the regulation and release of what neurotransmitters?

A
  1. glutamate
  2. GABA
  3. serotonin
  4. dopamine
  5. NE
21
Q

Acute withdrawal of ________________ medications that agonize the _____________ receptor will cause anxiety and stress; therefore, they must be tapered

A

direct acting cholinomimetics; nicotinic

22
Q

Tertiary amines that are muscarinic blockers achieve significant levels in the CNS within _________________ minutes; except transdermal route (like scopolamine), which take about __________ hours

A

30-60; 4

23
Q

What is the effect of giving a muscarinic blocker on the eye?

A
  1. mydriasis
  2. cycloplegia (relax ciliary muscle –> loss of accomodation –> unable to focus for near vision)
  3. reduced lacrimal secretion (dry eye/sand eye)
24
Q

What are the contraindications for administering a muscarinic blocker?

A
  1. Glaucoma, esp closed angle
