• EPHEDRINE
• ADRENALINE
• NORADRENALINE
ATROPINE
• antimuscarinic agent / ‘parasympatholytic’ agents - reduce the activity of the PNS

• MOA : Act as competitive antagonists of acetylcholine (ach) at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mACHr)
• located in
- post-ganglionic target tissues innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system
- in the sympathetically innervated sweat glands.

• Hepatic metabolism • excreted in urine
EFFECTS
• Tachycardia • Effect last 2–3 hours • May precipitate arrhythmias by
decreasing AV conduction time
CVS
• Bronchodilation • ↑RR
RS
• Crosses BBB causing central anticholinergic syndrome
• Antiemetic
• Antiparkinsonian effects
CNS
• Antisialagogue
• ↓Tone lower oesophageal sphincter
GI
• Inhibits sweating may cause hyperpyrexia in children

ANTIMUSCARINIC
ADRENERGIC DRUG
Catecholamines
• Adrenaline
• Noradrenaline
• Dopamine
Non Catecholamines
• Ephedrine
• Phenylephrine
• Amphetamine & etc
ADRENERGIC DRUG
ADENORECEPTOR
PHENYLEPHRINE
• Direct-acting sympathomimetic amine with potent α1-agonist
actions.
• No effect on β receptors
EFFECT
• Increase systemic vascular resistance and blood
pressure and may result in a reflex bradycardia,
all of which results in a drop in cardiac output.
It is not arrhythmogenic.
Cardiovascular
• Blood low falls in a manner similar to that
demonstrated by noradrenaline.
Renal
• use as a nasal decongestant and mydriatic
agent.
Others
PHENYLEPHRINE
How to use
• Peripheral line
• Dilute into 100ml NS – 100mcg/ml
• Infusion dose: 0.1-10mcg/kg/min
• Bolus: 50 to 100 mcg
METABOLISM AND EXCRETION
• Hepatic metabolism by monoamine oxidase
EPHEDRINE
• Synthetic non catecholamine agonist at α, β1, and
β2 receptors with both direct and indirect actions
• MOA : Indirect sypathomimetic, i.e. causes release of
noradrenaline from nerve terminals • Direct stimulation of
α and β receptors • Inhibits monoamine oxidase
• USES : Hypotension • Nasal decongestant • Nocturnal
enuresis
• DOSE : Oral: 30 mg t.d.s. • IV: given as boluses of 3 mg,
titrate to effect
EFFECTS
• ↑ HR • ↑ CO • ↑ BP • ↑ Coronary artery blood flow • ↑ Myocardial O2
consumption
CVS
• Bronchodilation •
RS
• ↓ Renal blood flow • ↓ GFR
Renal
• Caution with MAOIs can precipitate hypertensive crisis NB Tachyphylaxis occurs
as noradrenaline stores are depleted. Usually seen after ~30 mg given
Others
EPHEDRINE
METABOLISM AND EXCRETION
• Minimal hepatic metabolism • 65% excreted
unchanged in urine
ADRENALINE
• α and β adrenoreceptor agonist
• Effects are mediated by stimulation of adenylyl cyclase  increase in
CAMP
 Alpha 1 increase SVR increase BP
 Beta 1 increase HR  CO
 Beta 2  bronchodilation, reduce mast cell release
ADRENALINE
Pharmacokinetics
• Administration : IV /IM
• Elimination : degraded by conjugation with glucuronic and sulphuric acids and excreted in
the urine. Smaller part oxidised by amine oxidase and inactivated by o-methyl-transferase
Dose
• Infusion dose : 0.01-1.5 mcg/kg/min
• Single strength: 3mg in 50cc (0.06mg/ml)
• Double strength: 6mg in 50cc (0.12mg/ml)
EFFECTS
•Low Dose – β effects predominate • ↑ CO • ↑ Cardiac oxygen consumption • Coronary artery
vasodilation • ↓ Diastolic BP • ↓ Peripheral vascular resistance High Dose – α effects
predominate • ↑ SVR
CVS
•Potent bronchodilator • Slight ↑ minute volume • ↑ Pulmonary vascular resistance
RS
•↑ BMR • ↑ Glycogenolysis and plasma glucose • ↑ Initial insulin secretion ( β effect) followed by
reduction (α effect) • ↑ Glucagon secretion • ↑ Lactate • ↑ Lipase causing fatty acid oxidation
and ketogenesis • ↑ Renin and aldosterone secretion
METABOLIC
• Reduce renal blood flow and urine output
RENAL
•Intestinal muscle relaxed, pyloric and ileocolic sphincter constricted
GIT
EPINEPHRINE
USES
• Severe septic shock
 Added as 2nd vasoactive agent when noradrenaline dose > 15-20mcg/min does not achieve the
target
• ACLS
 1mg 3-5min push IV
• Anaphylaxis
 Administered adrenaline in boluses of 0.05-0.1mg. If no response, administered infusion adrenaline
at 0.1mcg/kg/min.
 Adrenaline is preferred as it reverses peripheral vasodilation and reduces oedema
• Viral croup
• Asthma
 Use 1:1000 solution and (if required) make up to a total of 5ml using normal saline prior to
administration
• Used locally to decrease the spread of LA and to reduce surgical blood loss
NORADRENALINE
• Direct and indirect α1 agonist, some small action at β receptors
Uses
• Vasoactive agent of choice
• Sepsis
• Cardiogenic shock
• Neurogenic shock
Dose
• Infusion dose : 0.01-1.5 mcg/kg/min
• Infusion (1 vial 4mg/4ml)
• Single strength: dilute 1 vial in 50ml (0.08mg/ml)
• Double strength: dilute 2 vials in 50ml (0.16mg/ml)
EFFECTS
S/E
• NE vasoconstricts the pulmonary, renal and mesenteric circulation, infusion must be
monitored to prevent injury to vital organs.
• Prolonged infusion can cause ischaemia in the fingers because of marked peripheral
vasoconstriction
• ↑BP and SVR (CO may ↓) • Peripheral vasoconstriction

Editor's Notes

  • #16 Tolerance: larger doses required to produce the same effect. Pharmacokinetic clearance: increased drug clearance induced by repeat doses Pharmacodynamic tolerance: changes in receptor number or function due to exposure to the drug Physiological tolerance: homeostatic adaptation of unrelated systems to compensate for drug effect Behavioural tolerance: learned compensation for the effect of the drug which diminishes its effects. Tachyphylaxis: a rapid decrease in response to repeated doses over a short time period Not dose-dependent (i.e. giving a larger dose of the drug may not restore the maximum effect) Rate-sensitive (i.e. requires frequent dosing) After a relatively short period of withholding the drug, its effect is restored (i.e tachyphylaxis resolves rapidly)
