agonist
for acute asthma
Albuterol
Indication
acute asthma
Salmeterol
Indication (2)
- chronic asthma
- chronic COPD
Salmeterol
MOA (2)
[β2🟢] > [β1🟢]
agonist
= chronic asthma / chronic COPD
doButamine
Indication (2)
- HF
- cardiac stress testing
doButamine
MOA (3)
- [β1🟢] > [β2🟢]
- [general α🟢]
Dopamine
MOA (4)
{([D1🟢 = D2🟢] >[general β🟢] > [general α🟢*]}
[inotropic & chronotropic (α)] predominates at high doses
Dopamine
Indication (3)
1.cardiogenic shock
2.HF
3.unstable bradycardia
{([D1🟢 = D2🟢] >[general β🟢] > [general α🟢]}⼀{HIGH dose → INC (α) effects }
Epinephrine
MOA (2)
- [(general β🟢{low concentration}]
> - [general α🟢{HIGH CONCENTRATION}]
“with low effort you’ll get a B….with HIGH EFFORT YOU’LL GET AN A”
✏️Epi is stronger at β2🟢 than NorEpi is at β2🟢
Epinephrine
Indication (6)
- ANAPHYLAXIS
- asthma
- angle-open glaucoma
- arrest (cardiac arrest)
- [a heart block]
- [A low bp (shock)]
[(general β🟢 ⬅︎ ⬇︎ Epi ⇪ → general α🟢]
“with low effort you’ll get a B….with HIGH EFFORT YOU’LL GET AN A”
Isoproterenol
MOA (2)
[(β1🟢 = β2🟢)]
NorEpinephrine
MOA (3)
[(α1🟢 > α2🟢 > β1🟢)]
NorEpinephrine
Indication
hypOtension(but note: NE⬇︎renal perfusion)
[(α1🟢 > α2🟢 > β1🟢)]
📝Epi is stronger at β2🟢 than NorEpi is at β2🟢
Isoproterenol
Indication
electrophysiologic eval of tachyarrhythmias🛑note: can worsen ischemia!
[(β1🟢 = β2🟢) ]
Phenylephrine
MOA (2)
[α1🟢] > [α2🟢]
([α1🟢] vasoconstriction can → [baroreceptor-reflex mediated bradycardia])
Phenylephrine
Indication (3)
- hypOtension
- myDriasis for ocular procedures
- rhinitis(PNE is also a decongestant)
[(α1🟢 > α2🟢)]
Amphetamine
MOA (2)
Indirect Sympathomimetic via:
1. [NE🔻reuptake inhibitor]
2. releases stored NE🚰
[InDirect Sympathomimetic] –(🔻 [⇪NE catecholamine]
Ephedrine
Indication (3)
- Nasal Decongestant
- urinary incontinence
- hypOtension
InDirect Sympathomimetic via [⇪ NE/E catecholamines]
Cocaine
MOA
[(NE🔻reuptake inhibitor) InDirect Sympathomimetic]
→ ⇪ adrenergic NE → ⇪ Sympathetic NS
❗️NEVER GIVE β🟥 if cocaine intoxication suspected since this may → unopposed α activation
Ephedrine
MOA
[(releases stored NE🚰) InDirect Sympathomimetic]
→ ⇪ adrenergic NE → ⇪ Sympathetic NS
Clonidine
MOA
[α2🟢]
sympatholytic
📝DECREASES Peripheral vasoconstriction CENTRALLY (inhibits sympathetics) but will have SOME INC peripheral vasoconstriction by acting directly in the PERIPHERAL BODY also
Clonidine
Indication (3)
- HTN Urgency
- ADHD
- Tourette syndrome
[α2🟢 sympathoLytic]
(does not ⬇︎Renal blood flow)
Clonidine
Toxicity (5)
- CNS depression
- [pupillary depression (miosis)]
- [cardiac depression (bradycardia)]
- [respiratory depression]
- vascular depression (hypOtension)
[α2🟢 sympathoLytic] ⼀ “Clonidine makes me depressed”
(does not ⬇︎Renal blood flow)
α-methyldopa
MOA
