A antagonists
CV effects
A1
Decreases PVR, lowers BP
Postural hypotension d/t failure of venous vasoconstriction on standing
A antagonists
A2
Cv effects
Inc NE release from nerves
Blocks negative feedback mechanism
A antagonists
GU FX
Eye/nose fx
Blocks in prostate and bladder cause muscle relaxation and ease micturition
Miosis, nasal congestion increased
Alpha antagonists
Bind __ to __ receptors, interfere w ability of ___ to cause a response
Selectively, alpha, catecholamines
Alpha antagonists
Competitive antagonists: 3
Bind covalently/hard to overcome: 1
Phentolamine, prazosin, yohimbine
Phenoxybenzamine
Phentolamine
Class
Effects
Nonselective alpha blocker
Vasodilation, dec BP, inc HR and CO
Phentolamine
Indic
Dose
Htn emergencies (aut dysreflex or pheochrom) 30-70 mcg/kg IV. Onset 2 min Local infilt for extravasation of sympathomimetics. 2.5-5 mg in 10 ml
Phenoxybenzamine
Binding
Activity
Effects
Covalently binds
Alpha 1 > alpha 2
Dec SVR and vasodilation
Phenoxybenzamine
Onset, e 1/2t
Indic
1 hr onset (prodrug)
Long acting, 24 hrs
Preop for pts w pheochromocytoma, can be used w raynauds
Prazosin
Indic
Action
Less what
BP control in pheochromocytoma
Selective A1 blocker (minimal A2)
Less reflexive tachycardia
Yohimbine
Action
Indic
Alpha 2 selective blocker. Inc release NE from post-synaptic neuron
Orthostatic hypotension, impotence
Terazosin and tamulosin
Indic
Action
BPH. Long acting selective Alpha 1a blocker, prostatic smooth muscle relaxation
Beta adrenergic receptor antagonists
Do what to heart, airway, vessels
Prevent sympathomimetics (competitive antagonist) from provoking response. Heart (improve 02 supply and demand). Airway (can provoke bronchospasm), vasoconstriction in skel muscles and PVD symptoms increase
Beta adrenergic receptor antagonists
Action in juxtaglomerular cells and pancreas
Prevent sympathomimetic response. Dec renin release which indirectly drops BP. Decreased stim of insulin release by epi/NE at B2 then masked symptoms of hypoglycemia at B1
