Questions and Answers

Why was propranolol discontinued?

  • Severe side effects during treatment
  • Ineffective in treating anxiety
  • It blocks both beta 1 and beta 2 receptors (correct)
  • Development of a better alternative medication

    • Why is Verapamil considered a better treatment option than Propranolol?

  • Treats hypertension by blocking calcium channels in smooth muscle (correct)
  • Treats the hypertension and does not block the effects of epinephrine (and similar drugs) on the relaxation of smooth muscle in the lungs (which is a beta receptor mediated drug action) (correct)
  • It doesn't interact with other medications.
  • It is less costly.

    • What is a receptor?

  • A type of neurotransmitter
  • Component of a cell to which a drug binds and initiates a chain of biochemical events leading to the drug’s observed effects. (correct)
  • A type of enzyme
  • A structural component of a cell

    Match each receptor to its definition

    <p>Intracellular receptor = Lipid soluble drug passes directly through the cell membrane and bind. DNA regulation is often the ultimate result. Transmembrane receptor (Cytokine) = Ligand binds on the outside surface of the cell membrane and an intracellular enzyme is activated Transmembrane kinase = Ligand binds but a specific intracellular protein kinase is activated. Ligand gated Receptor = Ligand binds and opens an ion channel</p> Signup and view all the answers
