Epinephrine Adrenergic Agonist (ALL) Used for acute asthma, anaphylactic shock, open-angle glaucoma and cardiac resuscitation
Norepinephrine Adrenergic Agonist (alpha > beta) Used for hypotension, but it decreases renal profusion
Phenylephrine Adrenergic Agonist (alpha-1) used for papillary dilation, vasoconstriction and nasal decongestion-- increases BP
Clonidine Adrenergic Agonist (alpha-2) Used for hypertension, especially with renal disease because there is no decrease in flow to kidneys
Isoproterenol Adrenergic Agonist (B 1 and 2) used for treatment of acute heart failure and acute asthma
Norepinephrine Adrenergic Agonist (B1)
Dobutamine Adrenergic Agonist (B1) used for shock, heart failure and cardiac stress testing
Albuterol Adrenergic Agonist (B2) used for acute asthma attacks
Carvedilol, Labetalol Adrenergic Antagonist (all)
Phenoxybenzmine Adrenergic Antagonist (A 1 and 2) IRREVERSIBLE. Used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, pheochromocytoma related to HTN. Side effects include orthostatic hypotension and reflex tachycardia
Phentolamine Adrenergic Antagonist (A 1 and 2) reversible
"Zosin" drugs (Prazosin, terazosin, doxazosin) Adrenergic Antagonist (A1) Used for HTN, urinary retention. Side effects include orthostatic hypotension, inhibition of ejaculation, reflex tachycardia, nasal congestion and miosis

Butoxamine Adrenergic Antagonist (B2)
A1 receptor adrenergic receptor Q increases IP3 and Ca vasoconstriction
A2 receptor adrenergic receptor I decreases cAMP decreases sympathetic stimulation (relax/dilation of GI and decreased release of insulin)
B1 receptor adrenergic receptor S increase cAMP (adenylate cyclase) increases HR, renin, lipolysis and aqueous humor
B2 receptor adrenergic receptor S increases cAMP (adenylate cyclase) bronchodilation and vasodilation
Ach overdose DUMBBELLS diarrhea, urination, miosis, bronchospasm, bradycardia, excitation of skeletal muscle and CNS, lacrimation, sweating, and salivation
Carbachol muscarinic and nicotinic agonist used for glaucoma management
Nicotine nicotinic agonist
Succinylcholine Nm agonist leads to depolarizing block
Curare Nm antagonist Used as NMJ blocker for surgical anesthesia
Hexamethonium Nn antagonist used in experimental models to prevent vagal reflex responses to changes in BP. Side effects include severe orthostatic hypotension, blurred vision, constipation, sexual dysfunction
Bethanechol Muscarinic Agonist Used to treat post-op urinary retention and atonic ileus. Resistant to acetylcholinesterase.
Pilocarpine Muscarinic Agonist used to treat glaucoma
