Alpha-adrenergic blockers

Concomitant use of nitrates in any form and alpha-adrenergic blockers (other than 0.4 mg once-daily tamsulosin) is contraindicated. [Pg.645]

Geriatric Considerations - Summary Alpha-adrenergic blockers are modestly effective alone, and in combination with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (e,g, finasteride) in the treatment of urinary obstructive symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Alfuzosin is a "uroselective" alpha-blockerwhich appears to cause less orthostatic hypotension than nonselective alpha-blockers such as terazosin, prazosin, and doxazosin. [Pg.32]

Mecfianism of Action An ergotamine derivative, alpha-adrenergic blocker that directly stimulates vascular smooth muscle. May also have antagonist effects on sero-fonin. Therapeutic Effect Peripheral and cerebral vasoconstriction. Pharmacokinetics Slow, incomplete absorption from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract rate of absorption of intranasal route varies. Protein binding greaterthan 90%. Undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism in liver. Metabolized to active metabolite. Eliminated in feces via biliary system. Half-life 7-9 hr. [Pg.371]

Contraindications Concurrent use of alpha-adrenergic blockers (other than the minimum dose tamsulosin), concurrent use of sodium nitroprusside or nitrates in any form, severe hepatic impairment... [Pg.1170]

Avoid using nitrate drugs and alpha-adrenergic blockers concurrently with vardenafil... [Pg.1299]

PHOSPHODIESTERASE TYPE S INHIBITORS ALPHA-ADRENERGIC BLOCKERS Risk of marked 1 BP Additive hypotensive effed Avoid co-administration. Avoid alpha-blockers for 4 hours after intake of sildenafil (6 hours after vardenafil)... [Pg.688]

Alpha-adrenergic blockers inhibit the response at the alpha-adrenergic receptor sites. There are two types of alpha-adrenergic blockers ... [Pg.210]

Selective Alpha-adrenergic Blockers Affect a specific alpha-adrenergic receptor site... [Pg.210]

Nonselective Alpha-adrenergic Blockers Affect multiple alpha-adrenergic receptor sites... [Pg.210]

Alpha-adrenergic blockers are prescribed to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and to treat peripheral vascular disease. Alpha-adrenergic blockers also cause vasodilation. [Pg.210]

Alpha-Adrenergic Blockers Phentolamine (Regitine) selective Doxazosin mesylate (Cardura), terazosin HC1 (Hytrin)... [Pg.298]

Labetalol hydrochloride is an alpha-adrenergic blocker/beta-adrenergic blocker that selectively blocks alpha-1 receptors and nonselectively blocks beta receptors to decrease BP, heart rate, and myocardial oxygen demand. It is indicated in the management of hypertension. [Pg.377]

Phentolamine is a competitive alpha-adrenergic blocker, and its action can be nullified by increasing the amount of agonist, or agonists. The vasoconstricting and hypertensive effects of epinephrine and ephedrine are antagonized by phentolamine (see also Figure 37). [Pg.567]

Tamsulosin is an alpha -adrenergic blocker that selectively blocks alphai-adrenergic receptors, causing relaxation of prostate smooth muscle resulting in an increase in urinary flow rate and a reduction in symptoms of BPH. It is used in the treatment of signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). [Pg.670]

Alpha-adrenergic blockers inhibit the response at the alpha-adrenergic receptor sites. There are two types of alpha-adrenergic blockers selective and nonse-lective blockers. Both types decrease symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) (enlarged prostate) and promote vasodilation and treat peripheral vascular disease such as Raynaud s disease. [Pg.309]

Doxazosin (Cardura) is a selective alpha -blocker and phentolamine (Regitine) is a nonselective alpha adrenergic blocker. Both can be used to treat hypertension. [Pg.309]

However, alpha-adrenergic blockers can cause orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure when an individual stands up), dizziness, and reflex tachycardia. They are not as frequently prescribed as beta-blockers. [Pg.309]

Alpha-adrenergic blockers phentolamine (Regitine) doxazosin mesylate (Cardura), terazosin HCl (H) n). [Pg.381]

Some of the side effects due to beta blockers such as the slowing of heart rate can be counteracted by administration of drugs which antagonize the alpha adrenergic receptors. The... [Pg.19]
