Chapter 21: Peripheral Nervous System Drugs- Adrenergic Antagonist
● Objectives: Neuropharmacology medications
○ Discuss the responses that an adrenergic antagonist would be expected to cause
through activation of the adrenergic receptors
○ Describe the nursing pre administration assessment data, implementation
strategies and necessary ongoing evaluation criteria
● More selective than adrenergic agonist drugs
● Prototype
○ Adrenergic antagonist:
■ Prazosin
■ Propranolol
■ Metoprolol
● Adrenergic antagonist
○ 2 groups
■ Alpha-adrenergic blocking agents (A1 only)
● Prazosin
■ Beta-adrenergic blocking agents (B1 & B2)
● Non selective- Propranolol
● Selective- Metoprolol
○ Alpha 1 selective agents
■ Prazosin
■ Vasodilation in periphery
● Patients with HTN
● Alpha 1 adrenergic antagonist
○ Pharmacological effect
■ Block alpha 1 receptors on blood vessels and bladder/prostate resulting in
vasodilation and relaxation of prostate and bladder smooth muscle
○ Therapeutic use
■ Essential hypertension
● Many underlying etiologies
● Increases systemic vascular resistance
■ Raynaud’s disease
● Have vasospasm of vessels in periphery
○ Hands and feet
● Cold fingertips
■ BPH
, ● Benign prostatic hyperplasia
● Prazosin does not shrink the prostate
○ Smooth muscle relaxation to promote urine outflow
○ Preventing urinary retention secondary to enlarged
prostate
● Check BP before administering the drug
○ Adverse effects
■ Orthostatic hypotension
■ Reflex tachycardia
,● Adrenergic antagonists
○ Terazosin (Hytrin)
■ Alpha 1 antagonist
■ Used very often for BPH
● Peripheral adrenergic receptor and related medications
, ● Adrenergic antagonists drugs: Beta blockers
○ Beta antagonists
○ Propranolol
■ Nonselective
■ First beta blocker than came on the market
● First generation
■ Indicated for people with tachycardia
○ Metoprolol
■ Cardioselective
■ Second generation
● Beta 1 adrenergic antagonist
○ Pharmacological effects
■ Reduce HR
■ Reduce force of contraction
■ Reduce AV conduction
■ Long term use results in decrease PVR
○ Therapeutic use
■ Angina (decrease oxygen demand)
■ Hypertension
■ Decreases HR
■ Cardiac Dysrhythmias
■ Heart failure
■ Stage fright
● Decreases sympathetic response
■ Migraine
● Prevents migraine
■ PTSD
● Reduction in PTSD symptoms
○ Therapeutic application of beta blockers
