    Study Notes

    Adrenergic Drugs Classification

    • Norepinephrine: A1, A2, B1 agonist; induces vasoconstriction.

    • Epinephrine: A1, A2, B1, B2 agonist; used for vasoconstriction, treating acute asthma and anaphylactic shock.

    • 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.

    • Salmeterol: B2 agonist; effective for managing nocturnal asthma.

    • Formoterol: B2 agonist; indicated for asthma treatment, providing long-lasting effects.

    • Bitolterol: B2 agonist; used for asthma management.

    • Ritodrine: B2 agonist; indicated for the prevention of premature labor.

    • Indacaterol: B2 agonist; treatment for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

    • 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.

    • Propranolol: B1, B2 antagonist; decreases heart rate and is widely used for various cardiac conditions.

    • Atenolol: B1 antagonist; primarily lowers heart rate.

    • Acebutolol: B1 antagonist; reduces heart rate impacts.

    • Metoprolol: B1 antagonist; commonly prescribed for lowering heart rate.

    • Pindolol: B1, B2 antagonist; decreases heart rate and utilized in managing hypertension.

    • Nadalol: B1, B2 antagonist; functions to lower heart rate effectively.

    • Timolol: B1, B2 antagonist; reduces heart rate and used in ophthalmic preparations.

    • Esmolol: B1 antagonist; ultra-short-acting, effective for acute treatment and crisis situations.

    • Labetalol: B1, B2 antagonist; decreases heart rate and aids in managing hypertension.

    • Carvedilol: B1, B2 antagonist; effective in lowering heart rate.

    • Nebivolol: B1 antagonist; reduces heart rate and improves overall cardiovascular health.

    • Ephedrine: A1, B1, B2 antagonist; increases blood pressure and improves breathing in emergencies.
