Adrenergic agents Flashcards
Selective α1 adrenoreceptor agonist
Phenylephrine
Selective central α2 adrenoreceptor agonist
Clonidine
Nonselective β adrenoreceptor agonist
Isoprenaline (Isoproterenol)
Selective β2 adrenoreceptor agonist
Salbutamol
Nonselective α, β adrenoreceptor agonist
Epinephrine
Nonselective α, selective β1 adrenoreceptor agonist
Norepinephrine
Selective α1 adrenoreceptor
ANTAgonists
Doxazosin
Nonselective β adrenoreceptor ANTAgonist (1st generation BB)
Propranolol
Timolol
Sotalol
Selective α1, nonselective β
adrenoreceptor ANTAgonist (3rd generation BB)
Carvedilol
Labetalol
(Nebivolol (primarily blocks beta-1 receptors and promotes nitric oxide release, leading to vasodilation)
