What are the genitourinary effects of alpha antagonists?
Relaxed prostate
Relaxed bladder sphincter/trigone

What are Beta antagonists used for clinically?
Hypertension (Beta 1 and 2)
Angina Pectoris (Decreased O2 demand)
Cardiac Tachyarrythmias
Glaucoma
Hyperthyroidism (Cardiac effects of thyroid hormones blocked, decreased conversion of T4-T3)
Migraine, anxiety, tremor, alcohol withdrawl
What are alpha antagonists used for clinically?
Pheochromocytoma - lower BP
Hypertensive emergencies
Chronic hypertension (alpha 1 preferred)
PVD
BPH
ED
Name the 5 Beta antagonists that have intrinsic sympathomimetic activity.
Pindolol
Acebutolol
Carteolol
Celiprolol
Penbutolol
What is the advantage of these drugs?
They block Beta 1 receptors and are useful against angina and hypertension. They are also partial agonists to Beta 2 receptors. They are less likely to cause bradycardia. Beta 2 agonism decreases BP and results in slight reflex stimulation?
This beta antagonist is noteworthy for its long duration.
Nadolol
This beta antagonist is ultra short acting and is used for controlling supraventricular arrhythmias, perioperative hypertension and myocardial ischemia
Esmolol
This beta non-selective drug has excellent ocular hypotensive effects.
Timolol
This antagonist is beta 1 selective, used in glaucoma and is less likely to cause broncho-constriction than non-selective agents.
Betaxolol
Antagonists of peripheral dopamine receptors have no clinical importance, but their CNS actions are important in these diseases.
Schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders.
