21
Q

What are the competitive (non-depolarising) ganglion blocking agents?

A

Mecamylamine
Trimetaphan
Hexamethonium
Tetraethylammonium

22
Q

What receptor do ganglionic blocking agents act on?

A

Nn receptors (Nn blockers)

23
Q

What are the characteristics of ganglionic blocking agents?

A

Non-selective
Unpredictable response thus rarely used in clinical practice
reduce the autonomic tone
prevent baroreceptor reflex changes in heart rate
