| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| β2 Selective Agonists | SA: albuterol, terbutaline, metaproterenol. LA: salmeterol + formoterol. Treat asthma/COPD and pre-term labor. SEs: tremors (skeletal muscle desensitization) and tachycardia (BRR) |
| Isoproterenol | Non-selective β agonist. Not used to treat asthma due to tachycardia |
| Phenylephrine | α1 agonist. Vasoconstriction treats severe hypotension and prevents surgical bleeding |
| Tetrahydrozaline | α1 agonist. Vasoconstriction treats red eye |
| Naphazoline | α1 agonist. Vasoconstriction treats nasal congestion |
| Clonidine | α2 agonist. Neg feedback to NE decreases vasoconstriction to treat HTN |
| Epinephrine | β1/β2/α1/α2. Slight vasodilation (β2 > α1) and tachycardia (β1 + BRR). Behaves like NE at high doses (α1 > β2) |
| Norepinephrine | β1/α1/α2. Vasoconstriction (α1) and bradycardia (BRR > β1) |
| Amphetamine + Methamphetamine | Releasing agent - release of NE/epi with longer DoA (less susceptible to MAO) and inc lipophilicity |
| Cocaine | Reuptake inhibitor - potentiates NE, epi, and DA |
| Selegiline | MOA inhibitor - potentiates NE |
| Entacapone | COMT inhibitor - potentiates NE |
| Ephedrine | Mixed acting - β1/β2/α1/α2 agonist (~Epi vasodilation/tachycardia) and NE/epi releasing agent. SEs: CNS innervation (e.g. insomnia). Contraindicated in BPH |
