Vasoactive drugs act on the heart and circulatory system by affecting adrenergic receptors. They can be classified as vasopressors, inotropes, or vasodilators. Common vasoactive drugs include adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, dobutamine, milrinone, vasopressin, nitroglycerine, and nitroprusside. Each drug has distinct mechanisms of action and indications for use. Careful consideration of dosing and side effects is important when using these powerful cardiovascular medications.
