25
DRUG OF CHOICE for hypertension during pregnancy
Methyldopa
26
Beta-adrenergic agonists
- Metaproterenol, Isoproterenol, Salmeterol, Terbutaline, Albuterol, Dobutamine - (Mista D)
27
Alpha-adrenergic antagonists MOA
block alpha 1 and 2 causing vasodilation, decreased BP and decreased peripheral resistance.
28
Use for Pheochromocytoma-associated hypertension and sweating and Pre-Operative Management of Pheochromocytoma
- Phenoxybenzamine and Phentolamine
29
Use for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
- Osins! | - Prazosin, Terazosin, Doxazosin, and Tamsulosin
30
First Dose of these is generally prescribed in small quantities at bedtime due to potential severe postural hypotension
- Zosins! | - Prazosin, Terazosin, Doxazosin
31
Use for Organic and Psychogenic Impotence
- Yohimbine
32
Adverse Effects Include Bronchospasm, nervousness, tremor, increased blood pressure, and increased insulin release.
- Yohimbine
33
Alpha1-receptor Antagonist that has more specificity toward smooth muscle in genitourinary tract
- Tamsulosin
34
Beta-Adrenergic Antagonists and Major Use
- "Olol" Drugs | - Hypertension and Angina
35
Beta Antagonist Used for Glaucoma
- Timolol
36
Beta and Alpha1 Antagonists
- Labetalol and Carvedilol
37
Partial Agonists Among Beta Antagonists
- Pindolol and Acebutolol
38
Partial Agonist at Beta 1 and 2 receptors preferred in hypertensive patients who have bradycardia or decreased cardiac reserve
- Pindolol
39
Used for Emergency Beta Blockade, as in Thyroid Storm because of short half life
- Esmolol
40
Extremely lipophilic; CNS concentration is high enough that sedation and decreased libido may result
- Propanolol
41
Beta1 Selective Antagonists
- Esmolol, Metoprolol, Atenolol
