Orthostatic hypotension (alpha-1 is responsible in maintaining BP in postural changes)
Manifests with the first dose phenomenon
Alpha1 blockers (mga sin)
NERVE TERMINAL BLOCKERS

Guanethedine
Toxicities of Guanethedine
Severe orthostatic hypotension and sexual dysfunction
Blocks vesicular amine transporter
Reserpine
Toxicities of Reserpine
Psychiatric depression and GI disturbances (Lowering the levels of NE, DA, 5-HTwill impair brain and gut functions)
Competitively block nicotinic cholinoceptors in both sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia

Partial agonists (Pindolol, Acetabulol)
Toxicity of beta blockers
Increased triglycerides, hyperglycemia (can cause new onset DM)
