Adrenergic Blockers
Beta-blockers |
Beta blockers (sometimes written as β-blocker) is a class of drugs used for various indications, but particularly for the management of cardiac arrhythmias, cardioprotection after myocardial infarction (heart attack), and hypertension. Propranolol was the first clinically useful beta adrenergic receptor antagonist. angina pectoris

Adrenergics
sympathomimetics |
Sympathomimetic drugs are substances that mimic the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, such as catecholamines, epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline), dopamine, etc. Such drugs are used to treat cardiac arrest, low blood pressure, or even delay premature labor, among other things.
These drugs act at the postganglionic sympathetic terminal,[1] either directly activating postsynaptic receptors, blocking breakdown and reuptake, or stimulating production and release of catecholamines. |
