Term
This group of antagonist produces an irreversible blockade
Definition
haloalkyl amines (phenoxybenzamine)
Term
2 non selective alpha blockers
Definition
phentolamine and phenoxybenzamine
Term
These receptors diminish NE release
Definition
alpha 2 receptors
Term
Miratzapine action
Definition
block alpha 2 receptors to increase NE
Term
alpha 1 inhibitors
Definition
prazosin, terazosin, doxazosin, and tamsulosin--> essential hypertension and BPH
Term
This drug may block histamine receptors and reuptake of catecholamines
Definition
phenoxybenzamine
Term
Action of phenoxybenzamine
Definition
dilates smooth muscle
Increase in heart rate and contractility (incr in NE)
Term
Side effects of phenoxybenzamine
Definition
postural hypotension
tachycardia
failure to ejaculate
drowsiness
Term
Phentolamine mech of action
Definition
reversible comp inhibition at a1 and a2
Blocks serotonin at higher doses
Term
phentolamine action
Definition
same as phenoxybenzamine
releases histamine from mast cells
Term
Phentolamine side effects
Definition
same as phenoxybenzamine

GI motility and secretion
Term
Phentolamine drug contraindications
Definition
DO NOT give to patients w/gastritis or ulcer
Term
What happens to BP when phentolamine is given prior to Epi?
Definition
Decrease (B1 +2) yields this effect
Term
Clinical uses of Non selective alpha inhibitors

Treatment of peripheral vascular disease (vasoconstricted blood vessels)

Inoperable prostatic hypertrophy (decr bladder contraction)
Term
special clinical use of phentolamine
Definition
dermal necrosis prevention
Term
Al antag pharm. action
Definition
decrease peripheral vascular resistance
vasodilation
decreases cardiac pre-load
increase HDL
does NOT increase tachycardia
Term
a2 receptor causes
