-BLOCKERS
Pharmacological effects:
CVS: 1 blockade : Vasodilatation,
decreased TPR = fall in BP
Decreased force of cardiac contraction =
fall in BP
Postural hypotension (first dose effect)
and reflex tachycardia.
DALES VASOMOTOR REVERSAL
3
-BLOCKERS (CONTD)
Other effects: Sluggish pupil, decreased
adrenergic sweating, nasal stuffiness,
decreased resistance to urine outflow in
males ( BPH).
Phenoxybenzamine: Also blocks H1, Ach
and 5-HT receptors.
ADR: first dose effect, reflex tachycardia,
nasal stuffiness, fatigue, sedation &
nausea.

-BLOCKERS (CONTD)
Phentolamine :ADR: Dysrhythmias,
angina pectoris, hyperacidity, diarrhea.
Prazosin, terazosin, doxazosin : 1selective blockers. Less reflex tachycardia
postural hypotension and renin release.
Preferred in HTN.
Tamsulosin, alfluzosin :1A-selective
(uroselective): Preferred in BHP.

-blockers
Propranolol :Non-selective -blocker with
membrane stabilizing activity, no intrinsic
sympathomimetic activity.
P.K.E.:25% oral bioavailability. Food enhances
its absorption.
Effects:
C.V.S.:Negative ino-, chrono-, dromo- and
bathmotropic effects.
SA rate and AV conduction decreased
Dysrhythmias, IHD ( except variant angina),
HTN.
Propranolol (contd)
Blood vessels : Vasoconstriction. No change
Propranolol (contd)
Metabolic effects: Symptomless
hypoglycemic coma in diabetics. C/I in
DM.
Skeletal muscle tremors are blocked.
Cardioselective beta-blockers
Bisoprolol, Esmolol, Acebutolol, Atenolol,
Metoprolol, Celiprolol. Nebivolol.
Relatively safer in asthmatics and
diabetics.
Atenolol does not cross BBB.
They are not effective in controlling
sekletal muscle tremors.

ADR of beta-blockers
1. CVS: Bradycardia, heart block, CCF, rebound
HTN on abrupt cessation.
2. RS: Bronchoconstriction.
3. Metabolic: Symptomless hypoglycemic coma
in diabetics.
4. CNS: Lethargy, sleep disturbances, fatigue and
deprression.
5. Others: Nausea, diarrhea and skin rash.
