19
Q

Dobutamine
Receptors
Effects

A

Beta 1 agonist, alpha 1 receptor activity
Potent inotropic action
Less prominent chronotropic effect compared to isoproterenol

20
Q

Albuterol
Receptors
Effect

A

B2 agonist

causes bronchodilation and relaxation of uterus

21
Q

Dopamine
Receptors
Effect

A

D1 and 2 agonist
Causes vasodilation in renal, cerebral, mesenteric and coronary vessels
Suppresses NE release
Activates B1 in heart at higher doses
At even higher doses, stims alpha 1 receptors in vasculature to cause vasoconstriction

22
Q

Cocaine MOA and effect

A

Inhibits re uptake of DA and NE

Local anesthetic properties, peripheral and intense central action

23
Q

Phenelzine/selegiline MOA and effect

A

Inhibits MAO

Increases NE stores in CNS, antidepressant

24
Q

Amphetamines/methylphenidate MOA and effect

A

Inhibits reuptake of DA and NE, increases their release, may have weak direct effect
Stimulant on mood and alertness, decreases appetite

25
Q

Ephedrine MOA and effect

A

Releasing agent and direct adrenergic receptor agonist

Mild stimulant, enters CNS, used as nasal decongestant, increases BP, treats stress incontinence in women

26
Q

Doxazosin

41
Q

Alpha antagonist effects
CV
GU
Eye

A

Decreased peripheral vascular resistance and BP, postural hypotension, reflex tachycardia
Relaxation of smooth muscle in prostate, decreased resistance to flow of urine
Relaxation of pupillary dilator muscle (miosis)

42
Q

45
Q 
Effect of beta blockers
Heart
BVs
RAS
Resp
Eye
Metabolism
A

Decrease HR and contractility, slow AV conduction
Initial rise in peripheral vascular resistance, chronic use leads to decrease in PVR (lowers BP in HTN individuals)
