(Adrenergic Agonist)
Adrenergic Agonist
Alpha 1, Beta 1, Beta 2
Is is a Catecholamine (not take it orally, short half-life, doesn't cross BBB).
Expect side effects because of so many receptors being activated.
Hypertension, Angina, Necrosis following IV Extravasation, Hyperglycemia, Dysrhythmias.

(Adrenergic Agonist)
Activates Beta 1 and 2 (B1 and 2 Agonist)
Used for Bronchospasm with anesthesia.
Used for Cardiovascular disorders (AV heart block, CA, Increase CO).
Side Effects = Tachydysrhythmias and Angina. Hyperglycemia in Diabetic patients.
Terbutaline (Brethine)
(Adrenergic Agonist)
Used in pre-term labor.
Primarily Beta 1, but can be minimal Beta 2.
Noncatecholamine and causes primary bronchodilation and uterine relaxation.
Dopamine
(Adrenergic Agonist)
Catecholamine
Binds to Beta 1 and Dopamine Receptors.
