use of phentolamine
pheochromocytoma
side effects of phentolamine
tachy - reflex response

orthostatic hypotension

flushing - vasodilation
prazosin
selective a1 antagonist - reduce arterial and venous tone - used in hypertension
isoproterenol
b1 and b2 agonist - causes a fall in bp with increase in hr - given parenterally or aerosol

b2 - hyperglycemia
b1 lipolysis
isoproterenol uses
bronchodilator
cardiac stimulant in heart blocks or cardiogenic shock
isoproterenol side effects
palipitation, tachy, flushing, angina, tremor, cardiac arrest, arrythmia
Dopamine
da receptor, b1 - increased cardiac output and tissue perfusion
dopamine actions
decrease in tpr
increases renal blood flow, gfr, urine flow
positive inotropic effect (b1) - cardiac output is increased
dobutamine
b1 and b2 - mroe b1 - increases myocardial contractility and sv
Metaproterenol, terbutaline, albuterol
b2 agonist - relax bronchial smooth muscle, uterus and vascular supply to skeletal muscles
metaproterenaol side effects
nervousness, weakness, drowsiness, hypotension with tachy
propranolol
b1 and b2 blocker - used in tx of htn, arrythmia, angina, migraine

contraindicated in asthmatics and peripheral vascular disease, diabetes
pindolol
beta antagonist with partial agonist activity - exacerbation of angina, increased mi, vetricular arrythmias less likely with abrubt withdrawl
labetalol
a1, b1, b2 antagonist - htn of pheochromocytoma and htn crisis
carvedilol
a1, b1, b2 antagonist - approved for chf
metoprolol
b1 antagonist - reduces plasma renin - can be useful in reducing htn in those individuals that have iddm, asthma,
fenoldopam
d1 agonist - activates adynylyl cyclase, vascular smooth muscle relaxation
bromocriptine
d2 agonist, - restores dopamine action in CNS - used for parkinsons disease
yohimbine
a2 antagonist - increases epi and norepi release - raises bp, male erectile dys
metyrosine
blocks tyrosine hydroxylase (rate limiting step L-tyrosine to l dopa) - reduces bp`
bethanechol
direct acting muscarinic agonist - used to treat gi atony, urine retention

gi - improve tone, persistalsis, sphincter relaxation
pilocarpine
direct acting muscarinic agonist - used topically to tx glaucoma

miosis
physostigmine
m indirect acting agonist

anticholinesterase
atropine
muscarinic antagonist - reversible blockade of cholinomimetic action, m1, m2, m3
atropine uses
widen pupil, fix lens

dry airway in anesthesia

reverse bradycardia

bronchodilation

motion sickness
cholinergic toxicity
atropine toxicity
Hot as a pistol - hyperthermia - decreased sweating
red as a beet - vasodilation
