Study Notes
Adrenergic Drugs Classification
-
Norepinephrine: A1, A2, B1 agonist; induces vasoconstriction.

-
Isoproterenol: B1, B2 agonist; primarily prescribed for asthma management.
-
Phenylephrine: A1 agonist; serves as a nasal decongestant and causes vasoconstriction.
-
Clonidine: A2 agonist; acts as an antihypertensive to lower blood pressure.
-
Dobutamine: B1 agonist; enhances cardiac output and stroke volume.
-
Terbutaline: B2 agonist; commonly used for respiratory conditions.
-
Metaproterenol: B2 agonist; indicated for asthma treatment.
-
Albuterol: B2 agonist; utilized for acute asthma attacks.
-

-
Mirabegron: B3 agonist; used for treating overactive bladder.
Adrenergic Antagonists
-
Phenoxybenzamine: A1, A2 antagonist; reduces peripheral resistance and blood pressure.
-
Prazosin: A1 antagonist; functions as an antihypertensive agent to lower blood pressure.
-
Tamsulosin: A1 antagonist; used primarily for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
-
Terazosin: A1 antagonist; beneficial in BPH with minimal impact on blood pressure.
-
