activates a2 adrenergic receptors ; for hypertensive urgency
Clonidine (TOPNOTCH)
activates a2 adrenergic receptors, for pre eclampsia
Methyldopa (TOPNOTCH)
Taper use prior to discontinuation to avoid rebound hypertension ; readily enter the CNS
Clonidine (TOPNOTCH)
Irreversibly blocks the vesicular monoamine transporter(VMAT)
Reserpine (TOPNOTCH)
Block release of NE from the pre-synaptic neuron
Guanethidine, Guanadrel (TOPNOTCH)
alpha-1 blocker which is most selective for prostatic smooth muscle
Tamsulosin (TOPNOTCH)
Disadvantage of Prazosin compared to other alpha-1 blockers
short DOA (TOPNOTCH)
