SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
• Seizures
• Depression
• Hypoglycemia
• Bronchospasm
Treatment
• Atropine Initially
• Cardiac Pacemakers Required
• Large amt of Isoproterenol /  Agonist
• Glucagon
α + β ADRENERGIC BLOCKERS
• Labetalol
β1 + β2 + α1 blocking as well as weak β2
agonistic activity
β blocking potency is about 1/3 that of
propranolol
α blocking potency is about 1/10 of
phentolamine
• Fall in BP (both systolic and diastolic) is due to α1
and β1 blockade as well as β2 agonism
(vasodilatation)
• moderately potent antihypertensive
USES
• pheochromocytoma, clonidine withdrawal,
pregnancy induced hypertension (preeclampsia)
and hypertensive emergencies, as well as in
essential hypertension.
• A/E- postural hypotension, Failure of ejaculation
Carvedilol
• β1 + β2 + α1 adrenoceptor blocker which
produces vasodilatation due to α1 blockade as
well as calcium channel blockade
• Antioxidant property has also been
demonstrated
• β blocker especially employed as
cardioprotective in CHF
DRUGS FOR GLAUCOMA
• Open angle (wide angle, chronic simple)
glaucoma
β blockers do not affect pupil size, tone of
ciliary muscle or outflow facility, but lower i.o.t.
by reducing aqueous formation.
Timolol- nonselective (β1 + β2 )
has no local anaesthetic or intrinsic
sympathomimetic activity
• Betaxolol - β1 selective blocker
• Advantage of less bronchopulmonary and
probably less cardiac, central and metabolic
side effects.
