|
|
Isoproterenol
|
representative adrenergic agonist
-activates beta 1 and beta 2 receptors -catecholamine -used for cardiac stimulation and bronchodilation S/E: tachycardia, dysrhythmias, angina pectoris, hyperglycemia, and hypotension + hypokalemia possible |
|
|
Dopamine
|
representative adrenergic agonist
