Adrenergic Drugs Flashcards
Epinephrine (Adrenalin)
Catecholamine. High affinity for Beta-2 receptors.
Norepinephrine (Levophed)
Catecholamine. Less effect on Beta-2 and more effect on Beta-3.
Isoproterenol (Isuprel)
Catecholamine. Equal affinity for all beta receptors.
Phenylephrine (Neofrin; neosynephrine)
Alpha-1 agonist
Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)
Alpha-1 agonist
Xylometazoline (Otrivin)
Alpha-1 agonist
Oxymetazoline (Afrin)
Alpha-1 agonist
Midodrine (ProAmatine)
Alpha-1 agonist
Clonidine (Catapress)
Alpha-2 agonist
Methyldopa (Aldomet)
Alpha-2 agonist
Apraclonidine (Iopidine)
Alpha-2 agonist
Dobutamine (Dobutrex)
Beta-1 agonist
Albuterol (Ventolin)
Beta-2 agonist
Ritodrine (Yutopar)
Beta-2 agonist
Mirabegron (Myrbetriq)
Beta-3 agonist
Ephedrine
“other” adrenergic stimulant
Amphetamine
“other” adrenergic stimulant
Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
“other” adrenergic stimulant
Methamphetamine
“other” adrenergic stimulant. Increases the release of NE from the presynaptic terminal so there must be an intact innervation
Cocaine
“other” adrenergic stimulant. inhibits reuptake of NE.
Tyramine
“other” adrenergic stimulant. Increases the release of NE from the presynaptic terminal so there must be an intact innervation
Dopamine (Intropin)
Dopamine agonist
Fenoldopam (Corlopam)
Dopamine agonist
VMA/HVA test
Measures the metabolism of NE and Epi.
