overview Nonselective beta-blockers act at both beta1 and beta2 receptors,whereas cardioselective beta-antagonists primarily block beta-1 receptors. Do not induce postural hypotension Effective in treating angina,cardiac arrhythmias,myocardial infarction,and glaucoma

propranolol Nonselective beta-antagonist Blocks both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors
propranolol ◼ Nonselective beta-antagonist ◼ Blocks both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors

Actions Cardiovascular:propranolol diminishes cardiac output,having both negative inotropic and chronotropic effects. Cardiac output,work,and oxygen consumption are decreased. Attenuating supraventricular cardiac arrhythmias
Actions ◼ Cardiovascular: propranolol diminishes cardiac output, having both negative inotropic and chronotropic effects. ◼ Cardiac output, work, and oxygen consumption are decreased. ◼ Attenuating supraventricular cardiac arrhythmias

actions Peripheral vasoconstriction:reduction of cardiac output leads to decreased blood pressure. Bronchoconstriction beta-blockers are thus contraindicted in patients with asthma Increased Na+retention Disturbances in glucose metabolism

Therapeutic effects Hypertension: Glaucoma: Migraine:propranolol is also effective in reducing migraine episodes. Hyperthyroidism:in blunting the widespread sympathetic stimulation that occurs in hyperthyroidism Myocardial infarction:following a myocardial infarction reduces infarct size and hastens recovery
Therapeutic effects ◼ Hypertension: ◼ Glaucoma: ◼ Migraine: propranolol is also effective in reducing migraine episodes. ◼ Hyperthyroidism: in blunting the widespread sympathetic stimulation that occurs in hyperthyroidism ◼ Myocardial infarction: following a myocardial infarction reduces infarct size and hastens recovery

Adverse effects Bronchoconstriction: ■Arrhythmia Sexual impairment: Disturbances in metabolism:beta blockade leads to decreased glycogenolysis and decreased glucagon secretion.Hypoglycemia. Drug interactions:interfere with the metabolism cimetidine
Adverse effects ◼ Bronchoconstriction: ◼ Arrhythmia ◼ Sexual impairment: ◼ Disturbances in metabolism: beta blockade leads to decreased glycogenolysis and decreased glucagon secretion. Hypoglycemia. ◼ Drug interactions: interfere with the metabolism cimetidine
